Tyson Fury has shared pictures of his remarkable weight transformation, joking that a 'fat man' is the epitome of peak male athletic performance.
The 33-year-old has been on an incredible weight-loss journey in recent years since making his return to the ring having previously retired.
At his heaviest, the Manchester fighter was 30 stone having battled depression and alcohol problems and has now shared an image on social media of his previous figure.
The image was taken ahead of his 2016 rematch against Wladimir Klitscho, who he later taunted following his victory by stating his opponent was defeated by a fat man.
Alongside the image, a comment said: "You may not like it but this body represents peak male athletic performance and there isn't a god damn thing you can do about it." Fury found the caption amusing, adding a laughing face emoji along with 'haha'.
Prior to the recent victory over Deontay Wilder, Fury weighed in at 19st 11lbs and had a whopping 39-pound weight advantage over the American.
Fury has regularly spoken about the misconception in boxing that muscular is better, regularly dubbing heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua as a 'bodybuilder'.
Speaking earlier this year, he said: "I'm absolutely quaking in my boots for the big bodybuilder. I'm s****ing myself because them muscles are terrifying.
"He looks good, but looks can be deceiving. If it was about looks, I wouldn't be heavyweight champion of the world, would I? Definitely not, I'd be a road sweeper."
Fury had planned for a unification bout with Joshua but that plan has been shattered following AJ's defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
