TYSON FURY’S phenomenal body transformation before he fought Deontay Wilder was down to a diet of six meals a day – including a wholesome CURRY.
The WBC champ, 34, lost an incredible 10st before his first fight with the Bronze Bomber back in 2018.
Fury, who faces Derek Chisora in a trilogy fight on Saturday after defeating Dillian Whyte in April, got in shape with his diet after snapping up UFC chef and Conor McGregor nutritionist George Lockhart.
And Lockhart even took to Instagram to reveal he was flying back to the UK to help Fury back in 2020.
Along with a picture of his British Airways ticket, he wrote: “Here we go again!!!! #tysonfury #lockhartandleith #cookingforthechamp #ufc #weightcut #takingover”
Naturally-gifted 6ft 9in Fury has used to appear as though he played fast and loose with the science of the sport.
Friend and camp manager Timothy Allcock was also his personal cook ahead of his first fight against Wilder in December 2018 and peanut butter chicken was on the menu almost every night.
Fighting man Fury showed little interest in the diet fads and micro meals that come in and out of fashion among fighters and celebrities.
But he has handed over the pots and pans to former US marine and MMA fighter Lockhart to get in shape – and stay there.
Lockhart makes salmon cakes with spicy jalapenos, coriander and Greek yogurt dressing for Fury.

And Fury might be able to deal with his next opponent a little easier after scoffing a healthy version of sausages.

Even Fury’s favourite, a curry, makes the list, with Lockhart keen to make sure the boxer gets his red meat intake just right.
