Tyson Fury has set up training camp in Malta as the clock ticks down to his world heavyweight title rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

'The Gypsy King' has shared videos and photos from the Mediterranean island as he prepares for the fight on December 21.

Morecambe-based Fury will step into the ring once again to fight the only man to have defeated him as a professional boxer.

And he has looked relaxed and ready in images from the Malta sunshine, where he is preparing for battle.

"I'm absolutely smashing it in training camp," he said, in a video to his 6.9m followers on Instagram.

Here is Tyson pictured in Sliema, near the Maltese capital of Valletta.

Fury's Instagram page has also posted footage of Tyson training in Malta.

The deeply religious fighter also shared a photo of himself near a Maltese church, with a post which said: "Turning my attention to the Lord for the day of rest."

It has also been announced that a Netflix documentary 'Undisputed' will be released on December 10, following Fury and Usyk's journey to their historic first encounter in May 2024.

This will include footage filmed in Tyson's home town of Morecambe.

'The Gypsy King' was defeated by the Ukrainian by narrow split decision in their classic first fight.

Fury, 36, has vowed that he will turn the tables on the unified champion Usyk in the rematch which, like the first clash, will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
