Tommy Fury has shared his remarkable physical transformation ahead of his fight against KSI this weekend.
‘TNT’ Fury is currently unbeaten in his professional boxing career, having most recently defeated Jake Paul in a huge fight in Saudi Arabia back in February of this year.
After defeating the YouTuber-turned-boxer on a points decision, Fury went back to his life, started enjoying his food once again, and had a baby with his partner Molly-Mae Hague.

However, the fight game has come calling once again, this time he’s getting himself involved with another crossover boxing star, YouTuber KSI.
KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams "JJ" Olatunji – has previously fought Logan Paul twice, as well as fighting a number of other fellow creators and low-ranked professional boxers.
This weekend promises to be a spectacle, even if it might not be the most high-class boxing affair that has ever taken place.
Fury will be putting his unbeaten record and the reputation of his profession on the line once again, hoping to move to 10 fights unbeaten as a professional.
And it doesn’t seem like he’s been leaving anything up to chance in the gym, if the photo he has just posted on his Instagram is anything to go by.
Fury shared a snap that showed himself nine weeks ago, as well as what he looks like today.
Hell, he was still in fairly good nick all those weeks ago on his holidays, but now he looks absolutely chiselled out of stone, ready to take to the ring this Saturday night at Manchester’s AO Arena.
“A nine week transformation, one thing about me, I don’t cut corners ever,” Fury wrote.
However, that’s not what his opponent said in a recent social media post, as KSI mocked Tommy’s choice of sparring partner during fight week.
Fury was sparring with middleweight Owen Kirk, who has his own fight on October 21 in Liverpool, but KSI wasn’t impressed.
He wrote: "How f**king dare you? You're not taking me seriously at all you f**kng piece of s**t"
"I'm preparing myself for the ultimate challenge and this is what you're sparring with? A middleweight with s**t movement and weak a** punches?!"
Ultimately, Fury didn’t respond, and will aim to do his talking in the ring when the bell goes on Saturday night.
Elsewhere on the card, Logan Paul will attempt to shut Dillon Danis up for good, after the MMA fighter made a number of derogatory remarks about his fiancé Nina Agdal in the build-up.
That one promises to be even more ill-tempered than the main event.
If you’re a fan of influencer boxing, this weekend promises to be a big one.
The whole fight night will be available to watch on DAZN Prime on Saturday 14 October.
