Most recently he brutally stopped previously unbeaten German Tom Schwarz in the second round on his Las Vegas debut.
Negotiations are now ongoing for the mouthwatering rematch against Deontay Wilder next year - the pair fought a controversial draw in December that most had Fury winning.
Fury battled well documented problems outside the ring including mental health issues and alcohol and cocaine misuse.
He was famously caught on camera partying with England fans at the European Championships in Nice back in 2016.
This included buying a round of TWO HUNDRED jagerbombs.

His French trip came just days after he was forced to pull out of his rematch against Wladimir Klitschko after he sprained his ankle.
It would be two years until Fury made his triumphant return to the noble art.
But as he continues to make waves back at the top of the heavyweight division, Fury is being fuelled by water with a difference.
Wow Hydrate is a sugar free protein water that has a unique push-cap technology which releases vitamins in.
And it is fast becoming a popular way to maintain hydration with many athletes.
Chelsea and England ace Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Crystal Palace player Patrick Van Aanholt and boxer Joe Cordina are all ambassadors for the brand.
Lineal champ Fury was introduced to the water by his trainer Ben Davison, a man credited with helping get Fury back on the straight and narrow.

Speaking about his new tipple of choice, Fury said: "I’m pleased to join up with Wow Hydrate.
"It’s a great product that Ben has introduced me to and it keeps me well hydrated, well fuelled and well recovered throughout my training camps."
And Davison added: "I’m very happy to be working with Wow Hydrate as my official drinks partner, they aren’t just a label but a quality product which myself and Tyson used throughout his last camp.
"I always recommend the product to all my fighters and use it myself during training sessions.
"I’m looking forward to working with the team more closely in the future."
28st DOWN TO 18st
SunSport previously reported how Fury also made changes to his food - he went on the keto diet.
This involved eating lots of 'good' fat, to curb hunger pangs, while cutting out carbs and eating moderate amounts of protein.
It's said to boost energy levels and help speed up weight loss - with Fury wolfing down 3,500 calories a day on it.
Fury weighed around the 28st mark at his heaviest - famously showing off his size in a photo with a grinning Ricky Hatton.
He weighed in at 18st 8lbs for his one-sided victory against Schwarz.

HOW WOW HYDRATE WORKS
- Vitamins stored in the cap exposed to moisture increases the rate they are degraded by chemical reactions, along with exposure to temperature and light.
- Being stored in the cap means the vitamins strength is contained and only then the process begins once the cap is pressed giving a 24 hour time frame to consume the drink and benefit fully from ingredients
- The electrolytes in the Hydrate drink are stored in the cap, released with the vitamins. When electrolytes are in our bodies they dissolve into positive and negative charges that help the flow of water in and out of cells regulate, creating nerve impulses.
- When dissolved in water it forms a electrolytic solution to then create the purpose of replenishing minerals lost in sweat.
- With the push cap, it means this reaction does not occur until the cap is pushed and created when it is needed during or after exercise; making the drink more beneficial.
