Tyson Fury was resisting the temptation to tear open the Easter eggs in his car boot as he prepared for his undisputed heavyweight championshi fight against Oleksandr Usyk next weekend.
Fury and Usyk go head-to-head in the first undisputed heavyweight title fight in 25 years on Saturday, May 18 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The bout marks the first time one man will hold all four heavyweight belts since Lennox Lewis achieved the feat after beating Evander Holyfield in 1999.
With just over a week before the fight, Fury has been spotted with a number of different snacks - including several Easter eggs - as he bids to beat Usyk in the Middle East. Two Bounty, two Smarties orange and one Lindt egg could be spotted in the back of his car and was also seen carrying a book.
It came after Fury participated in a training session ahead of the fight against Usyk, with eldest son Prince John James alongside him. His father John Fury also attended the training session. As well as the Easter eggs, he was spotted holding a bottle with his training gear in the boot of the car.
Fury was pictured looking slim as he posted an image of his physique on Thursday, which got fans delivering their verdict on his impressive weight. "Best shape I've saw you mate," one comment read.

"He looks even better now," a second user agreed. "Amazing shape from Tyson to be honest, looks arguably the best he ever has been," a final comment read.
Meanwhile, Lewis has delivered his prediction on the hotly-anticipated bout and is backing Fury to win because he is the "bigger guy". "I believe that Tyson Fury has great attributes, he's tall, he can box out of both stances, he can go forward," he told talkSPORT 's Spencer Oliver.
"Right now to me it's difficult to beat a bigger guy so I'll always say the bigger guy has the advantage."

"Oleksandr Usyk's a real bad man and to underestimate Usyk you'd be a mug," Fury told Queensberry Promotions. "I'm training hard for him, I'm doing everything I can.
"I respect Usyk as a man. I respect his career as well - Olympic champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion, unified heavyweight champion.
"You have to respect that, I'm fighting the real deal. I'm looking forward to the challenge. He's a southpaw, he's got good footwork, goodboxingability, technically sound. He's proved he can mix it with the big heavyweights because he's beatAnthony JoshuaandDaniel Dubois.
"I'm messing with an elite fighter who's got more than boxing ability. He's stubborn and he wants to win like I do. All of the talent and attributes aside, it will come down to who wants it most on the night.
"If he wants it more than him, he'll win and if I want it more than him then I'll win. I just think my will and determination will be more than his on the night."
