TYSON FURY'S coach revealed a stunning picture of WBC heavyweight champion at 28 STONE.
Wladimir Klitschko was dethroned by the Gypsy King in 2015 with a spectacular boxing performance. But then he fell into depression and became addicted to drugs and alcohol.
Fury was 28-stone when he started his comeback
He gained weight, and by the end 2017 he was down to around 10 stone.
Fury returned to the ring in six months and, after only two warm-up fights, he agreed that he would face Deontay Wilder in December 2018.
The Brit would draw their first fight in Los Angeles, a bout that many believed he won.
Fury's final round of climbing from the ground in the last round will remain a highlight of the fight.
Kristian Blacklock is a strength coach who has watched Fury's return to the top. He believes Fury's ability lose weight and get back to the top are his greatest achievements.
Fury posted three photos of Fury's amazing weight loss on Instagram. He also said: "Photo 1 Nov 17. Photo 2 & 3 Nov 18. You can weigh in for Wilder 1 and see the incredible weight loss and return of fitness that we as a team achieved!
"Big shout out to @bendavison_ [Fury’s former boxing coach] I don't think anyone will forget the journey, mate!
"Since the 1st fight @gypsyking101 has gone from strength to strength but I still think this was his biggest achievement overcoming everything in his path to get back to big time boxing within 12 months.........unbelievable."
Although he did not win against Wilder in their first fight he would feel victory 14 months later, when he stopped Wilder within seven rounds.
After a lengthy legal battle, the two went back to war in October in a three-part fight.
Fury won again, climbing up the deck to knock Wilder out cold in round 11 of this all-time classic.
Fury still dismisses modern science, despite his remarkable return to the ring.
He said recently: "In boxing and computer science, technology... I personally don’t think works.
"Because, take me as an example. People say that I'm overweight and bald.
"I don’t do any of the boll **** with numbers on a computer screen and all that other stuff. Yet, I always win. It clearly means... it means... "F*** all."
