British heavyweight Tyson Fury has revealed that he has never worked harder before a fight as he prepares to take on Dereck Chisora at London's ExCel Arena this weekend.
An opportunity to face unified world champion Wladimir Klitschko is on offer for the winner of Saturday's bout and Fury, who beat Chisora on points in 2011, has insisted that he is in great shape despite not stepping into the ring since February.
The 26-year-old told reporters: "This is the hardest that I've ever worked to get off all that weight. We've been doing all sorts of extravagant things. Peter [Fury] has been having me carry him up the stairs every morning and every night as a training exercise.
"He's had me run around the park with him on my back so it's been a harsh training camp. I've also been wrestling with my brothers and my cousin, a lot of wrestling, pushing and shoving - so a lot of exercises and I'm definitely ready.
"But this is it now. We're excited, myself and the big man are ready to rock and roll. For me, I know when we glove up it's fight time."
