He told BBC Sport: “We can just feel each other’s emotions sometimes and we’re able to pick each other up when it’s needed.”
Before adding: “We don’t have to talk about it. We just feel it in each other.
“If you’re in a relationship with somebody, or if you have kids – parents know when their kids are not feeling well because they’re watching them and they’re trying to understand them.
“It’s the same for me and Tyson. I’m watching him, trying to understand him.
“And he’s watching me, trying to understand me – so we can help fill each other’s many ups and downs if you want to call them ups and downs.
“I just allow Tyson to be himself and it’s the same for me – I’m being myself.
“So me and him are very comfortable in our situation – and in any situation – because we feed off of each other.
“We have that smooth balance like caramel and chocolate. We help each other out – not knowing that we’re helping each other out.”
Fury has turned into an aggressive puncher under Steward’s guidance, with the latter confident he will dispatch Dillian Whyte inside the distance.
The Body Snatcher pits his wits against the Manchester United fan at Wembley next week in what could be a Fight of the Year contender.
Commenting on the blockbuster showdown, Steward said: “We’re going for the knockout, get that knockout every time. First round, second, third, fourth, fifth, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 and 12.
“Every round, every moment we’ll be looking for the knockout, looking for that knockout punch, looking to make the guy make the mistake and when he makes the mistake we’re going to catch him.

“That’s the whole idea wrapped up in one.
“There’s judges and everything but why do we want to use judges when there’s two men in there who can decide this fight on their own.
“There’s an old saying – if you want something done right do it yourself.”
