After over a ten-month hiatus, Tyson Fury prepares himself for his thirty-fifth career bout.

As the hype around the fight builds up, promotional activities can barely afford to stay far behind. Hence, they need to keep pace.

Donning ‘The Gyspy King’ trunks and the WBC belt dangling from his shoulders, Rozik said, “Hello, this is Abdu Ruzik; I’am [the] WBC Champion. This is the champion drinks.” Tyson Fury shared this lovely collaboration early this morning through his Instagram story.

As he prepared for the second title defense against Dillian Whyte scheduled for April 23, Tyson Fury introduced ‘Furocity’ to the world early last year. The range of energy drinks sold under the auspices of the Iceland stores soon captured the nation’s imagination. Nevertheless, it didn’t take much time for ‘Furocity’ to give stiff competition to KSI and Logan Paul‘s ‘Prime Hydration, which was launched around the same time.
