They had initially been scheduled to duke it out on February 17 but their fight was pushed back by a month after Fury suffered a cut in sparring.
When the news broke, unsubstantiated rumours began to swirl around boxing's rumour mill that Fury had been having issues in camp prior to the delay.
However, Fury silenced his critics by uploading a picture of himself looking in tremendous shape.
And it appears he is still in cracking condition judging from his latest physique update.

Someone else remarked: "Best shape I’ve seen you in mate."
Fury put on a dismal display in his last outing against Francis Ngannou in October, narrowly edging a decision against the boxing novice.
The overriding narrative in the immediate aftermath of the crossover clash was that Fury had underestimated Ngannou and hadn't trained properly.
But it appears he has learned from his mistakes heading into the Usyk showdown with all of the word coming out of his camp suggesting that he has left no stone unturned in training.

"I'm confident we are going to get a vintage performance, I spoke to him during the week.
"He's in a very good shape I think, and although he had that cut it has come good as he has had back-to-back camps.
"Physically I have never seen him look so well. The worry was going straight into a training camp was that he'd peak too soon.
"He has worked really hard so that he is in his best nick on May 18.
"I just feel he is going to put on a magnificent performance and stop Usyk."

Later on Thursday, Usyk took to Instagram to respond.
He posted a picture of his own impressive physique after wrapping up his training camp.
Usyk captioned it: "The hard work is done."
Former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has suggested Fury could struggle against Usyk despite his remarkable ripped shape.
'I'm not sure if (Fury coming in light) is a good thing to be honest," Froch told Fastest Online Casino.
"That weight allowed him to bully Deontay Wilder, lean on him, tie him up and just have his own way.

"When it gets on top for Fury, when he's under pressure, he's able to sit back, get hold of the back of his opponent's neck, lean on him and use his body weight to get himself out of trouble.
"If he's losing weight and he's slimmer, he could struggle. I'd like to see him perform at a slimmer weight."
