- Tyson Fury has not spoken to his wife for three months while in training camp
- Frank Warren has explained why he thinks Fury has taken this approach
Tyson Fury's promoter Frank Warren has given an insight into what is going through his fighter's head just days before his mouthwatering rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury and Usyk are set to do battle once more in Saudi Arabia, seven months on from their first fight, which the Ukrainian edged on points.
The Brit is determined to avenge his sole professional defeat, and revealed earlier this week that he has not spoken to his wife Paris in three months after locking himself away for his training camp.
That revelation shocked some fans, but Warren has explained the thinking behind Fury shutting himself off from the outside world ahead of this weekend's heavyweight showdown.
'His mind just needs to be Usyk,' Warren told Mail Sport as he tried to get inside the mind of the Gypsy King.
'This is what I've got to do. I don't want to be distracted. I don't want to know if there's a problem at home. I don't know if I've got a business problem. All I want to do is focus on this. This is what I want. I need to win this fight.

Frank Warren believes Fury has tried to eliminate all distractions to give him the best chance of beating Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday
Warren admitted he has never seen Fury so focused ahead of a fight
'It's not about the belts, it's about beating the guy who got the decision in the last fight in a very, very close fight, a split decision. He needs and feels he's got to do this to win that.
'I've got to sacrifice, I've got to be in that mood, I've got to be in that mindset, I've got to focus on this is what it is. And I'm not going to be deviated, no one's going to distract me. Blinkers on, that's it. And that's where he's at.'
Fury has been very open about his mental health struggles in the past, and previously revealed that he suffers from Bipolar disorder which causes extreme mood swings.
Warren believes that being in the gym helps Fury to cope with his condition, and is convinced the Brit's single-mindedness will pay off this time around.
'Tyson's a very philosophical guy,' Warren continued. 'He needs a purpose. That's where he's at now, I have to have a purpose. My purpose is to win back those belts, to beat Usyk. That's his mindset, it's not about anything else.
'I've never seen him in this frame of mind, to be honest. The frame of mind that he's in suggests to me that that's all that matters.
'And if that matters and he comes through it, then he's achieved and he's dealt with what was a big problem for him.'
