The WBC champion will renew his rivalry with the Bronze Bomber on October 9 at Sin City’s T-Mobile Arena.

Fury and his wife Paris finally welcomed baby Athena home this week

Fury, 33, was preparing for the fight stateside but returned home last month ahead of the birth of his daughter Athena, who was placed into ICU after her arrival.

But with the newborn back home and fighting fit, The Gypsy King will press on with plans to move his camp back to Las Vegas.

Fury’s co-promoter, Bob Arum, said: “Tyson Fury’s sixth child was born with a problem, she was in intensive care.

“But everything’s great, he brought the baby home today in Manchester.

“He’s on track to train. (Sugarhill Steward), his trainer, arrives Friday.

“He’ll be training in Manchester, three to four weeks, then they’ll go to Las Vegas.

“He’s been keeping in shape, he was in great shape (when he left the US), and he’ll be fine.”

Fury’s moving of his camp back to Vegas will be a cause of concern for his old man John, who reckons his son has too many ‘yes men’ around him in the States.

He recently told BT Sport: “He’s out there and he’s not under the watchful eye, he’s around all these yes men when he gets out.

“Because when he gets off the plane in Las Vegas, you’ve got 200 yes men waiting for him looking to get that from him.

“Because he’s the Pied Piper, ain’t he? That’s what he does. People follow him around just to get what they can.

“‘Yes, Tyson. You’re this, you’re that, you’re the best in the world. We love you.’

“This kid’s heard it all before in my life.

“They don’t love ya, they don’t care ya, they just want your money and your profile to make their status bigger for being around ya.

“I don’t want all them fake plastic pretenders around me. Because you know that size 12, it goes right up their backside.

“That’s what happens when you’re around me. Get down that road. “‘What are you bringing to my son’s table?’

“If it’s not relevant, you’re gone. But Tyson’s not like that, he just hasn’t got that character. But I have.”

Late on Wednesday, Fury revealed his third training camp for Wilder is officially underway.

He tweeted: “Right, guys, I’m going offline until October 10, som1 [sic] else will be keeping you updated.

“Total blackout from me. See you in Vegas. Let the games begin.

“7 weeks saturday till i smash the big dosser Again. God bless.”
