The Furys had a whale of a time in Spain before heading back home
SunSport understands The Gypsy King is set to begin training for the historic clash in the coming weeks.
But he’s made sure to enjoy some quality time with his family before diving into what will be another gruelling training camp.
Dotting dad Tyson took wife Paris and their six kids to Tenerife for a bit of winter sun.
The Furys were all smiles as they posed for a group photo in the street, with Tyson looking proud as punch of his young family.
Paris documented their mini-break via her Instagram stories, in which she showed their hilarious attempt to get all the kids to smile for a group photo.
She saw the funny side of their failure to get the children looking at the camera, writing “Everyone look” as the caption across both photos.
The Fury family break didn’t last long, though, as they returned to the UK a few days ago.
And Tyson will no doubt be back in the gym on Monday to begin getting in tip-top shape to face Usyk.
The pair’s mouthwatering clash was expected to take place on March 4 but is now on course for April.
Co-promoter Frank Warren told talkSPORT: “We’re expecting a couple of offers this week, but none of them have come through and then Tyson has to make his decision.
“I hope it’s going to happen at the end of March, early April, that’s where we’re looking at the moment.
“So, fingers crossed we get it over the line for that date, but it will definitely, definitely happen.”
He added: “We’re very far down the road.
“But there are a couple of things we’ve got to work on.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are on course to throw down in April
“We’re trying to get to a point where we can announce it fairly soon and we all think it’s going to happen.”
Fury and Usyk, 34 and 36 respectively, have spent the last few weeks trading verbal jabs on social media.
Former unified heavyweight champion Fury recently told the slick southpaw in an Instagram video: “Tyson Fury here.
“WBC heavyweight number one – get up world champion!
“Usyk, calling out the Gypsy King with your pathetic little callouts, dosser.
“Rabbit. I’m coming for you, rabbit. You’re getting it, rabbit.”

How to box effectively
Boxing has become a very popular sport. Two opponents fight each other to the death. Each country has its own rules. There are generally three types of boxing: Amateur, Professional, and Olympic.
Amateur boxing is often practiced at school, college, or university. This type of boxing allows sparring without protection. Amateur boxing competitions typically last for three rounds, each lasting five minutes. Amateur boxing can be done in many styles, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Taekwondo or Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.
Boxing is often practiced in gyms or clubs. They wear protective equipment such as mouthpiece, nose guard, shin guards, elbow pads, knee pads, waist belt and groin protector. Professional boxing competitions consist of six rounds lasting four minutes each. There are many different types of professional Boxing such as Boxing, MMA, Kickboxing, Muay Thai or Taekwondo.
Olympic boxing is done at the Olympics. Boxers are required to wear international standards-compliant protective gear. Each round lasts three minutes and is made up of eight rounds. Olympic boxing can be divided into two types: Light Flyweight (Heavyweight) and Heavyweight (Light Flyweight).
The basic skills of boxing are:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- Body movement
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spare parts
Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination may have multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers have many options for stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a practice session designed to improve boxing skills . Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
