An image of Oleksandr Usyk's heavyweight physique has emerged online as fans claim the Tyson Fury bout is already done.

The championship clash between Usyk and Fury is just weeks away as the heavyweight stars renew hostilities following their thrilling battle earlier this year.

The Ukrainian edged out the previously-undefeated Brit by split decision in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Ahead of their rematch, the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' posted a photo of his physique following a training session, with boxing fans online thinking the fight is already done.

Usyk has also taken to social media to show off his physique as he impressed fans with his condition ahead of putting his WBA (super), WBC and WBO world titles on the line.

Needless to say, Usyk's social media post got people online talking as many are backing him to beat Fury for a second time.

One X user claimed: "People really think Usyk can go back down to Cruiserweight... this guy is a solid heavyweight man."

A second said: "Usyk beats him again."

A third predicted: "Usyk by devastating KO."

A fourth commented: "I think Usyk is going to beat him again."

Another wrote: "Usyk will probably out last him again.. Fury was to Wilder what Usyk is to Fury."

Usyk looks to be primed for the defence of his unified world heavyweight titles.

But promoter Frank Warren thinks the first meeting was more punishing for Usyk than Fury.

"I do [think it took a toll on Usyk], in that particular fight," he told Sky Sports. "I went to both the fighters' dressing rooms afterwards. I was in Tyson's dressing room and obviously he was very disappointed, he felt he'd done enough to win the fight. It was a close fight.

"There was a lot of life in him and I went into the dressing room to congratulate Oleksandr and he knew he'd been in a tough fight… That's the toughest fight he's ever had.

"At the time they were worried he'd broken his jaw. His manager told me an implanted tooth was impacted into his gum. That was a gruelling fight for both of them. Fought at a high pace, lots of punches being thrown, it was a tough, tough fight.

"It was a close, brilliant fight."
