Tyson Fury steps up training as he targets boxing return with Anthony Joshua mega-fight in his sights
Gypsy King Fury putting in the hard yards in Spain as he prepares for first fight since beating Walidmir Klitschko to become world champion 18months ago
TYSON FURY turned from Gypsy King to Dancing King as he stepped up his training for a ring return this summer.
Fury has been out of action since he beat Wladimir Klitschko to win the world heavyweight title in 2015, having being stripped of his crown after admitting drug taking.
But the giant heavyweight is aiming to make a boxing comeback in May and has started working hard in training in Spain - with the ultimate goal a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua.

Fury is on a mission to lose seven stone and work his way back to the top of the heavyweight division after over a year and a half out of the ring with highly publicised personal issues.
But he looked in fine form as he showed off his moves in a cap and shades with dancing - and training - partner Billy Joe Saunders.
He has joined up with Saunders in his training camp in Marbella, and wants to make his comeback on the under-card of the WBO middleweight champion's title defence against Avtandil Khurtsidze in July.
Before that, Fury has to convince the British Boxing Board of Control he has overcome the health issues that have blighted him in order to get his pro licence back.

But by putting in the hard yards and showing he can be disciplined in a training camp, the 28-year-old will go some way to showing he is back and fully focused on a comeback.
Photos of the ex-heavyweight champ were posted on Fury's social media accounts, showing him working hard in a full sweatsuit that is aiding his weight loss.
Fury said: "working hard today on the pads."
The heavyweight and Saunders posed for a picture before heading out for a six mile run too.
Fury has been quick to start a campaign to set up a crunch fight with fellow Brit Joshua after his devastating victory over Klitschko at Wembley on Saturday.
He claims he can beat Joshua with one hand behind his back - but promoter Eddie Hearn claims Fury is in such bad shape the fight won't happen for three years.
