Tyson Fury has revealed how playing golf during his intense training camp has help his boxing abilities whilst he prepares for the biggest fight of his career against Dillian Whyte. Fury will defend his heavyweight championships in just nine days, in what could be his last ever fight as he takes in Whyte in an all-British heavyweight blockbuster that is set to be held at Wembley Stadium.
The Gypsy King continues his WBC title defence against Whyte after a stunning victory against Deontay Wilder back in October last year. It'll be Fury's first fight on home soil since August 2018, when he beat Francesco Pianeta in Belfast. Since then, his last five fights have all taken place in the United States In preparation to face Whyte, Fury has begun training, pictured recently training with controversial boxer Jarrell Miller.
Fury has spent the last few weeks blacked out from social media whilst he trains with SugarHill Steward and younger half brother Tommy Fury - who will also fight on the card. And whilst training has been intense, Fury has stated that he's had fun during this training camp.

And Fury has revealed that he's used some unconventional training methods this time around - including picking up another sport.
During a press conference with Top Rank, Fury said: "Training camp has been a lot of fun, me, SugarHill and the guys have had so much fun this time around.
"I have been playing golf in training - driving the ball 400 yards. I hit about 200 balls a day and it's improved my boxing, it's improved my power."
Fury has previously stated that he plans to come in at his all-time heaviest weight for the fight, weighing around 20 stone.
Earlier in the press conference, Fury was also asked if he is going to retire - something he has refused to confirm.
He said: "I am only thinking about Dillian Whyte - I am not thinking about retirement.
"People are underestimating him but I won't. I have been working hard in the gym, I give him the same respect I give to Wilder."
