Meet Tyson Fury's backroom team – including personal stylist and professional comedian

Tyson Fury faces the toughest test of his career when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.

The Gypsy King and his Ukrainian rival will put it all on the line in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the aim of becoming the first undisputed champion of the heavyweight boxing division since Lennox Lewis achieved the feat in 1999. But Fury would not have been alone in his preparations, boasting a small team of close friends who work behind the scenes to get him ready for each monumental showdown.

Episode 3 of Fury Uncovered saw the 35-year-old's backroom staff shed light on their intricate roles, ranging from suit-fitting to strength and conditioning work. And they each explained how they have helped Fury ahead of next Saturday's long-awaited bout.

Fury’s closest friend is fellow boxer Lowe. The featherweight met Tyson aged 'eight or nine', having grown up in the same area. Fury later acted as the best man at Lowe's wedding.

The Westgate Warrior said: "Growing up, he always used to have me attached to him more than anyone else, and we've never been apart since. We've been everywhere together, we're always in each other's training camps, helping each other out here, there and everywhere.

"The thing is, we're loyal to each other, we tell each other the truth, we don't tell each other no lies, we always give 100, 120 percent, and we're pushing each other on all the time."
