He was all smiles as he arrived in the Middle East

He began his camp in Morecambe but has now touched down in the Middle East to continue training – much to the delight of his fans.

One said: “He is taking this very seriously. Getting there weeks before the fight to acclimatise to Saudi fully.

“Adjusting to every tiny detail like he is at home. Smart choice.”

Another added: “If he’s there that early he is taking very seriously. Let’s go the gypsy king.”

One hailed: “Yeah get acclimated early, ain’t no time to be f*****g around.”

Another said: “No question that he’s taking it seriously.”

Fury spent Christmas with wife Paris and his seven kids, but swerved a New Year’s celebration at home to get preparations under way.

He almost suffered a disastrous and embarrassing defeat against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37, the last time he was in Saudi in October.

Fury, 35, was dropped by the massive underdog and deemed fortunate to walk away with a controversial win on the scorecards.

He touched down in Saudi only a week before that fight, but things look to be different for the historic unification with Usyk, 36.

His own dad John hit out at his training camp for the Ngannou fight and claimed even now it is a “CIRCUS”.

John even said his son’s training camp showed he was “in decline”, leading to fears he could be outclassed by Usyk.

But Fury’s Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren was quick to speak out in defence of the undefeated WBC champion.

Warren told Boxing Social: “Tyson’s the guy getting in the ring. His dad has obviously got his views. Everybody’s got a view.

“Obviously his dad cares about him but, at the end of the day, Tyson’s getting in the ring and it’s his decision who he has to train him.”
