Tyson Fury reveals his extraordinary new rituals before Oleksandr Usyk rematch after adopting shaving routine which could be BANNED for the fight – and cutting off contact with wife Paris

Tyson Fury has revealed the extraordinary sacrifices and unconventional measures he’s taking ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, including cutting off all contact with his wife Paris and adopting a rugged new look to channel his most primal form.

Fury has been forced to shave before, notably ahead of fights with Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder, but this time he’s reluctant to touch the long beard he’s grown as a symbol of his no-nonsense mentality.
