But in response, he posted on Instagram: “I don’t remember ever looking in shape!

“They say he looks out of shape I say I’ve never been in shape.”

Fury, who most recently weighed 19st 11lbs before knocking out Deontay Wilder in their trilogy, has often made light of his frame.

He even posted a side-by-side with hulking heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua, 32, and claimed while AJ has six abs and two losses, he has ‘all the belts’ and zero defeats.

Ex-opponents Wladimir Klitschko, 45, and Wilder, 33, were also mocked by the Gypsy King for losing despite their ripped bodies.

Fury is now training again for his return, which his promoters Frank Warren and Bob Arum targeted for March 26 in the UK.

He is due to face mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte, 33, with purse bids for the defence set for Friday.

But in a shock twist, Arum revealed there are still ongoing talks for Fury to fight Oleksandr Usyk, 34, in an undisputed title decider in the Middle East.

Usyk is due to rematch Anthony Joshua, 32, having initially won the belts in September, leaving the situation up in the air.

Arum told talkSPORT: “It is total chaos.

“What’s happening is just promises coming out of the Middle East about doing a unified fight with Usyk and Fury, and is Dillian Whyte gonna step aside.

“And people that have absolutely no contractual ties – like Frank Warren’s Queensberry and our Top Rank do – are getting involved.

“It’s a typical terrible kind of situation, but hopefully it’ll get sorted out and probably it will get sorted out with a purse bid on Friday.”
