The Morecambe heavyweight Tweeted on Tuesday: "Great workout...Feeling on fire. Can't wait for Saturday don't know who am fighting yet."

Peter Fury, Tyson's uncle and trainer, ruled out a match with veteran American contender Tony Thompson, who has called Fury out on Twitter.

"It won't be him, and it won't be any of these guys shouting the odds on Twitter who are just after a payday," Peter is quoted as saying by TheVisitor.

"We're looking at possible options and are in the middle of negotiations to make sure it's on Saturday. We have a list of names at short notice. And hopefully we can still get the Chisora fight on in September."
