The Gypsy King has boasted in the past about being able to beat chiseled rivals while sporting a “dad bod”.
And he warned Good Morning Britain host Kate that he will not mess with his winning formula as she burst into laughter.
Fury said: “I embrace the love handles. The love handles makes me unique, it makes me a unique fighter to have my love handles.
“I represent all the fat people around the world, all the dad bods, all the chubsters, I fight for those people.”
Fury, 35, welcomes Ngannou, 37, over to the boxing ring after the MMA star walked out on the UFC.
And the WBC world boxing champ admitted it has been hard to study the boxing debutant.
He said:”It’s been a little bit difficult to get any footage on the guy but at the end of the day I can only be the best version of myself.
“It’s not really about what the opponent does, ever, it’s always about me being the best version of myself and going in there fully prepared and expecting the unexpected.”

Fury has already signed for his next fight before even sharing the ring with powerhouse Ngannou.
He has an agreement in place with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, to meet in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification.
Promoters have eyed a December 23 date in Saudi, meaning Fury has little time to breathe between bouts.
He admitted: “It’s a quick turnaround yes, that’s for sure.
“But I’ve been prepping for these boxing fights for 35 years, if I can’t do it now I’m never going to be able to do it.
“It’s never been a thing of, ‘I’m going to go for it or I’m not going to go for it.’
“It’s always been thing have happened, finances have been involved and things haven’t worked out for whatever reason.
“This time, everything’s in place, everything’s there and the deal was done in like ten minutes when before it was taking months on end to get sorted out.”
