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 admitted he hasn't spoken to Paris in over three months - claiming he has sacrificed a lot to ensure he is in the most ruthless physical and mental state heading in to the fight. The former WBC heavyweight champion, who traditionally relies on his wife's calming presence in his dressing room before a fight, stated he won't allow her anywhere near him before this bout.

Fury's 'beast mode' mentality extends to his physical appearance as well. Having sported a clean-shaven look in recent times, the Gypsy King has flipped the script entirely. He told the media on Monday afternoon that he hadn't touched anything 'from the eyeballs down,' allowing his beard to grow out wildly and neglecting his usual grooming routine.
However, Fury's defiant new look could clash with boxing regulations. The Board requires fighters' jawlines to be clearly visible during bouts for safety and officiating reasons.
