Tyson Fury reveals key life change he's made ahead of Las Vegas debut

Tyson Fury battled mental health issues and addiction to conquer the heavyweight division in 2015. It saw him balloon to 28 stone, forcing him to shed 10 stone before his return to the ring last year after a three-year-absence. The Gypsy King signalled his arrival back with his December draw with Deontay Wilder. Fury will now fulfil a childhood ambition by fighting under the bright lights of Las Vegas against Tom Schwarz. The 30-year-old has revealed how he has changed his lifestyle for the better making his life. "It is something I am enjoying as an athlete, a person and boxer," Fury said at a press conference in London on Monday. "I really love my job at the minute, more than I have ever done before. I used to think boxing was a chore, a job to go to. "I trained hard for a fight and then put a ton of weight back on. Now I enjoy what I do, keep fit even when I am not boxing. I almost live my life as a routine training camp now. It's been a long time coming. I have never been to Vegas. "The big fights happen in Vegas. I remember waking up to watch Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather [in 2007] at the MGM. A lot of iconic fights have been there so for me to put my name down on that list is another tick off the list. I made a promise to myself when I was younger I wouldn't go to Vegas until I fought there. Thirty years later I get the opportunity to fight on the biggest platform in the world.
