Fury’s camp last week said the star had caught coronavirus, leading to his July 24 fight with Wilder being pushed back to October 9.

Despite now having to wait a little longer for his shot at regaining the WBC title, the 35-year-old American is refusing to take his foot off the gas.

And he allowed his trainer Malik Scott to share a clip on Twitter of the star doing some pad work in the ring at his gym.

It comes after Wilde’sr co-manager Shelly Finke claimed the fighter had snapped after he heard of the postponement.

He said of Fury’s positive test causing the delay: “Again now, he did wrong and I’m the one being penalised.”
