And the gruelling sessions in his private gym are well underway for the unbeaten Gypsy King.
In an Instagram clip, Fury is seen throwing brutal combinations on a body belt worn by his dad John.
He captioned the post: “15 rounds today for the fat man. Father son thing.”
Joining them in the ring was younger brother Tommy, 22, who is back in training after suffering a broken rib.
That injury saw him pull out of his celebrity grudge match against YouTuber Jake Paul, 25, in December.

Fury had been at the centre of a heavyweight saga involving Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte and Usyk.
Whyte is currently his mandatory challenger, while Joshua is owed an immediate rematch having lost to Usyk in September.
But Middle Eastern backers were fronting talks for the pair to accept step-aside offers and allow Fury, 33, and Usyk to instead fight in a unification.
It was claimed £115million was put up for a historic, first-ever four-belt heavyweight unification.
STEP-ASIDE COLLAPSE
It would have seen Joshua paid up to £15m and receive a guaranteed shot at the winner.
And Whyte would also have been paid £5m to forfeit his shot at Fury’s WBC belt.
But in a twist, ESPN report there was step-aside ‘agreement in principle’ until ‘parties attempted to renegotiate at the 11th hour’.
It means Fury is now set to face Whyte with purse bids for the title defence due to take place on Friday evening.
Fury’s promotional team of Bob Arum and Frank Warren will auction against Eddie Hearn for the right to host the grudge match.
Meanwhile, Joshua is all-but confirmed for a rematch with Usyk, having been dethroned of the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
