Tyson Fury is looking a lot healthier these days.
After several failed comeback attempts, Fury seems completely dedicated to this particular return to the ring and he's applied himself in training as he aims to get back in fight shape.
The extent of Fury's weight loss journey was laid bare by Ricky Hatton last month, when 'The Hitman' posted a photograph to Twitter displaying the physical shape of both men.

At his heaviest, Fury claims he weighed 27 stone but he's already lost half of the weight he intends to drop ahead of his first fight in over two years.
'2 Fast' hopes to lace up his gloves again in April, with the ultimate goal of meeting fellow undefeated Brit Anthony Joshua in what would be one of the biggest fights in the history of British boxing.
"I've lost about three and a half stone," Fury told
iFL TV this weekend.
"I think I've got another five or something to go, or maybe four stone. I don't even know how much I've got to go. How much do I have to go?

"I probably won't ever see 18 and a half stone again anyway. I'll probably box at 19 and a half so I've got three and a half stone to go.
"It's three and a half to get there. I'll probably box at 19 stone 7 or 8."
Joshua recently broke character to poke fun at Fury's physical condition and the below tweet just goes to show how much Fury has managed to ruffle the feathers of the London 2012 gold medallist.

It may not take place next year, with Fury is adamant that
he won't accept the fight with Joshua at all unless he considers the deal a worthwhile one, but it is definitely the bout that most fight fans are eager to see.
"Like I always say, he's nothing but a pumped-up weightlifter," Fury said. "And when I get in the ring with him, I'll show you all how good I am. I will play with the bitch.
"He won't land a blow, 100 per cent. If he's Superman then I'm definitely Kryptonite.
"And I'd even say, to make it very interesting, for every power punch he lands - a power punch is anything bar a jab - I'd give him a £10,000 bonus for every one he landed.
"That's how confident I am that he couldn't land anything.
"He's a big useless, pumped-up, full of water bum city. He gasses out of his arse after four or five rounds and ain't never fought a gypsy like me before who will punch his cunt in for him.
"I can beat him inside fighting, outside fighting, around the ring fighting and any other fighting he wants."
