In a clip that is more authoritarian than combat, the heavyweight world champion shows off his (sort of) record-breaking prowess.
Latest on potential December 3 fighting with Anthony Joshua is 90% there. The plans seem to stem from nothing but an old-fashioned Tyson Fury appeal, and things escalate from there.
Terms were agreed, contract received and broadcasters announced. By all accounts, it looks like ‘AJ’ will challenge Fury for his WBC belt next, albeit after a consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
How does Fury prepare for it? By defeating one of the machines commonly seen in clubs and festivals.
The video was posted by former boxer and trainer Andy Lee, saw Fury’s left hand give a high score. It also features a cheerful Joseph Parker.

Once referred to as the knee puncher by Deontay Wilder, ‘King of Gypsy’ has certainly focused more on his power punching abilities in recent years. He repayed Wilder by knocking him down twice in a row.
Many consider Fury’s partnership with coach SugarHill Steward to be the point in his career when he really started sitting down on his shots and looking for knockouts.
Stewart is a goalkeeper of the Kronk style. His uncle, Emanuel, at Kronk Gym in Detroit, has coached boxers such as Thomas Hearns, Evander Holyfield, Wladimir Klitschko and Andy Lee himself.
While there’s not much to dissect boxing wise, the hilarious clip shows the power Fury will need to wield if he sticks to his prediction of ‘cleansing’ Joshua in the sixth round or seven.
