      Tyson Fury told Dillian Whyte ‘You’re hurt aren’t ya?’ after catching him with brutal left hook in their Wembley fight

      by

      BACK in April, Tyson Fury defeated Dillian Whyte with a stinging right uppercut at their Wembley Stadium showdown, but it was a brutal left hook that also left The Body Snatcher wounded. The Gypsy King revealed he spoke to Whyte in the ring after landing the bruising shot to his midriff.

      Fury found success throughout the fight with his left hook, before finishing things off with a devastating right uppercut.
      And Fury revealed he had trained his check hook pre-fight in order to keep Whyte at bay, and recalled one blow in particular that caught The Body Snatcher right in the sweet spot.
      Fury said in his post-fight press conference on BT Sport: “We practised and practised and practised, long range punching, using the jab off the shoulder.
      “And I think everyone will agree with me here tonight, the shot that kept catching him was the check hook, I kept clopping him with that check hook.”

      Fury then revealed he couldn’t help but whisper in Whyte’s ear after landing a particularly meaty left hook to his body.
      He continued: “The one thing that amazed me was I clipped the Body Snatcher with a left hook to the body and I went ‘You’re hurt Body Snatcher aren’t you?’ and he went ‘Yeah’.
      Victory in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley was a 32nd win of Fury’s career, and maintained his unbeaten record as a professional.
      In the build up to the fight Fury had revealed his intention to retire after the showdown, which he reiterated in the ring following the KO.

      Although the 34-year-old did tease a blockbuster crossover dust-up with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
      Meanwhile Fury’s wife, Paris, suggested he could return for an undisputed fight for the ages against Oleksandr Usyk.
      She told BT Sport: “I know in my heart I think the only reason Tyson would come back is for a unification fight.
      “And I think that would be the only reason Tyson would come back in the ring. Because he has nothing left to prove – to keep boxing on, there’s nothing there for him.”
      However, it appears that a blockbuster all-British fight is on the cards with Anthony Joshua awaiting confirmation for a December 3 bout. More

      Wilder, 36, held an open workout in Las Vegas with his coach Malik Scott and revealed just how intense his comeback camp has been.
      He said: “We’ve been doing 30 or 40 rounds nonstop. Only time I get water is during the break.
      “I’ve just been doing things like that to challenge myself, doing things that have never been done before, or that you don’t really do in boxing.
      “I wanted to see how my body adjusts to the long length of time without a break.

      “When you can go a long time without taking a break, you’re in shape.”
      Wilder’s career was left in doubt following a brutal 11th-round knockout to Fury, 34, last October.
      But after a state of himself was put up in his home of Alabama, it inspired the ex-WBC champion to carry on fighting.
      And now Wilder feels rejuvenated as he gets set to begin his road back to the heavyweight throne.

      He said: “It feels good. Even in my first reign, a lot of it was my way. But this right here is totally 100 per cent Deontay Wilder’s way.
      “I’m in a different position right now. And it just feels great to be in the position I’m in with no pressure.
      “I don’t need the business anymore. When I do it, I do it for my own personal reasons.
      “I’m doing it for the people and I’m doing it for some hardware, some titles.”

      While in Japan, Mayweather has gone out for a spot of shopping.
      The 45-year-old visited a Louis Vuitton store, and couldn’t resist making a purchase.

      As he counted out the correct sum of money, he also appeared to get a pal to double check.

      While another joked: “He look confused.”

      After his bout with Asakura, Mayweather has been linked with two more bouts.
      He is set to fight YouTuber Deji in November, despite not knowing who he is.
      Mayweather is then eyeing a 2023 rematch with Conor McGregor – although the Notorious wrote “not interested” on Instagram.

      From the third round onwards on the way to a unanimous points win, Fury’s eye gushed blood with the ringside doctor even consulted as to whether it was safe for the Gypsy King to carry on.
      But thanks to Capetillo’s work on the horror gash, Fury battled through to secure a hard-fought win – and then had to have 47 stitches.
      The coronavirus lockdown saw Capetillo’s Las Vegas gym close and the Mexican admitted to having “empty pockets”.
      But Fury stepped in to help the man who set him on the path to WBC glory by battering Deontay Wilder to win the belt.

      Speaking to Sky Sports, Capetillo, who describes the cut as “the worst I’ve ever seen”, said: “He is still very grateful.
      “When he knew we were locked down because of Covid-19 and my gym was closed, he texted me and said: ‘Is there anything I can do to help?’
      “He is still taking care of me. He sent me money.
      “I was supposed to be with Jessie Vargas in New York on March 14 (2020) but the fight was cancelled and I came home with empty pockets.

      “He is a great man, so humble. He had the time to ask how I was doing with my family during this crisis.”
      Capetillo went on to describe how once he “controlled the bleeding” against Wallin he told Fury that “everything will be good”.
      And so it proved as the Wythenshawe-born fighter won comfortably on points, 116–112, 117–111, and 118–110.

      Fury then went on to destroy Wilder in February that year to win the one heavyweight belt he never had before.

      Inside Tyson Fury’s six meal a day diet featuring CURRY which helped body transformation before Wilder fight

      by

      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 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.

      The expert cook even managed to make brussel sprouts look appetising in one social media post.
      Fury’s tastebuds would have been left tingling by Sriracha honey salmon laid out on a bed of quinoa and Greek rice and skewered chicken with tzatziki sauce was probably a big hit for the fighter.
      Team Fury were purring over a dish of strawberry and mango salsa with tomato and cilantro rice and chilli bean shrimp patty.
      And the once 28st food lover was allowed to pig out on a stunning pork dish of apple and cranberry stuffed loin with butternut squash, quinoa, walnuts, and spinach and topped with a citrus avocado vinaigrette.
      With Fury’s intense training leading to a calorie deficit, he would have been boosted by a meaty serving of dijon maple syrup seared wild salmon with rosemary, garlic, roasted sweet potatoes, and tomato, spinach and bean chilli.
      Lockhart even manages to make cauliflower appetising by jazzing it up with hummus patties with cilantro lime shrimp and rice, with macadamia nut, avocado, cilantro, lime sauce.
      And Fury might be able to deal with his next opponent a little easier after scoffing a healthy version of sausages.
      The Morecambe-based man had apple and chicken sausage with sweet potatoes, spinach quinoa, cooked in chicken broth with a side of baked kale chips and avocado.
      Even Fury’s favourite, a curry, makes the list, with Lockhart keen to make sure the boxer gets his red meat intake just right.
