TYSON FURY is pushing himself to new levels in training - despite not having a fight to prepare for.
The Gypsy King, 33, has been keeping active since his victory over Deontay Wilder last month.
And he has also been busy helping brother Tommy train for his upcoming bout with Jake Paul.
But on Friday the heavyweight champion took things up a notch.
With Tyson laid out on the canvas, father John stood over him and began pounding his torso with a medicine ball.
Each impact made the boxer grimace but he got through the tough workout.
He also turned onto his side to build up strength - preparing well for any future punches he may take to the body - while shouting: "Break a rib!"
And those shots could come from Dillian Whyte, with Eddie Hearn revealing a fight between the pair could take place early next year.

Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “The purses are almost secondary to the fight being ordered. The interim champion can receive up to 45 per cent of a purse split.
“And I believe that the purse should be at those kinds of levels. We have seen Top Rank talking about 20 per cent to Whyte which is outrageous.
“But I think something that should be left to the WBC, the problem is time we need to move forward but we are confident that it will be a ruling that is fair to Whyte.
“I think it is closing in and we would like to make that fight in the early part of next year.”
