The WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has bought a new Lamborghini ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury has splashed the cash on a new £190,000 Lamborghini Urus with his love for cars stretching from a humble transit van to the world’s most luxurious automobiles. The 35-year-old shared his new green Lamborghini on social media, telling his wife Paris Fury that he had “business to attend to”, before driving off.

Fury also owns two Rolls-Royces and a Ferrari GTC4Lusso worth around £250,000 but his Passat has a special place in his heart for its reliability. It appears he’s changed his mind somewhat on fancy cars after previously claiming he had little interest.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live in 2021: “I get most joy out of jumping in an old Transit van and driving it down the road than I would do jumping in a £250k Ferrari. Or I can go and give £500 for an old car like a [Volkswagen] Passat or something, and people say ‘why are you driving this piece of junk?’ but it’s not to me, I like that.”

The Gypsy King showed off his new set of wheels with his world heavyweight unification title fight just around the corner against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia. The fight was originally scheduled for February but a nasty cut sustained by Fury in sparring forced a delay with his Ukrainian rival.

Fury, who like Usyk has an unbeaten professional boxing career, has been training hard after his narrow victory over Francis Ngannou last year. Fury suffered a rare career knockdown against the former UFC heavyweight champion but managed to get back up off the canvas and win via split decision.

The winner of Fury vs. Usyk is also likely to face Anthony Joshua, who beat Ngannou in the Middle East last week. Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, knocked Ngannou out in the second round, asserting himself as one of the best in the heavyweight division. “For my career, I feel like wins are just left in the past, you can’t dwell on them too long because there’s always another challenge coming up,” Joshua said while attending the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

“I feel like a win just moves me onto not dwelling in my sorrows too much because a loss isn’t nice for anyone. And then in terms of Usyk and Fury, it’s really up to them. I’m only a phone call away, even better, I’m only a tweet away. You can tweet me and we can make the deal, so it will happen. I do (respect them).”

But for the meantime, Fury is laser-focused on defeating Usyk. “There’s quite a long way to go, there’s always been a lot of s*** getting in the way of it,” Fury said.

“I’ve got bigger fish to fry, 18 May, then we have a rematch in October. After that, if he’s still available and I’m available, let’s get it on.

“Yes, it goes both ways, he can do what he wants, whoever he fights, he can’t wait a year, inactivity is no good. After I beat Usyk, the IBF will be vacant, so maybe he can fight Hrgovic. I’m healing well, I’m not even in camp yet, I’ll go to camp at the end of March and I’ll spar then.”
