Tyson Fury reveals he now weighs 25 STONE… but insists he has beaten his demons and is ready for ring return
TYSON FURY has his work cut out to get back into fighting shape – after revealing he is currently 25 STONE!

The night he ended Wladimir Klitschko’s 11-year reign as heavyweight champion he weighed in at 17st 8lb.
He was making no secret of his huge physique, however, tweeting it out to his followers.
And he does not seem too deterred with the task ahead to get ring-ready.

“Fury has a lot of issues he needs to deal with before he even thinks about getting in the ring properly.
“He has an anti-doping issue, he has other medical issues that all have to be considered.
“We haven’t had any contact with him since he was suspended so I would expect, if he was looking to box shortly, he’ll need to contact us.
“He hasn’t done so and therefore nothing has changed. He is not in a position to box.”
But those words don’t seem to be stopping Fury, he seems set on getting back to work as quickly as possible.
