      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.

      The 35-year-old’s manager Egis Klimas revealed prior to his rematch with Anthony Joshua that he watched him swim 10km non-stop.
      Klimas added that his champion could hold his breath underwater for a staggering four minutes and 40 seconds.
      However, that almost cost the undefeated heavyweight as he fainted underwater and was rescued by his trainers.
      Usyk said in his USYK17 YouTube channel: “All these challenges such as 10km of swimming for example.

      Chris Eubank knows what his son is going through to make Benn catchweight after starving himself to limit 28 years ago

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK, who had starved himself of food and liquid for three agonising days, stared longingly at three large jugs filled to the brim with pineapple juice.He had them put on a table close to the scales as he waited impatiently to weigh in for his WBC super-middleweight title defence against American Dan Schommer.

      After making the 12-stone limit, Eubank raced to the jugs with the speed of a desperate man who had been lost in a desert suddenly coming across a life-saving oasis.
      That scenario was played out in Sun City, South Africa, 28 years ago and I’ve never forgotten the sight of Chris, his body dangerously bone-dry through dehydration, gulping down all three jugs without stopping to take a breath.
      As a result of putting himself through such a severe weight-reducing process, his performance was well below par and he struggled to outpoint the mundane Schommer.
      It was no surprise to me when Eubank last week expressed grave fears at the risk his super-middleweight son Chris Jr was taking by agreeing to get down to 157lbs for his catchweight clash with welterweight Conor Benn at London’s O2 Arena on October 8.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The Brighton braggart knows only too well from bitter experience how making weight can leave a fighter weak, even hours after rehydrating.
      He claims making his boy get down to 157lbs is suicidal and says he will try to get Chris Jr to pull out, saying: “This fight should not be allowed to happen – it is too dangerous.”
      Chris Jr dismissed his father’s concerns about his safety though he did admit having to scale down to 11st 3lbs means he will only be 60 per cent of his best when he faces unbeaten Benn.
      To ensure Chris Jr is taking weight off gradually and sensibly, the British Boxing Board of Control have been monitoring him and will continue to do so for the next two weeks.

      In fact, Eubank Sr should be even more concerned about Conor, who is up against a much bigger man with vastly more experience. 
      Because there is such a marked difference between the size of the two men, precautions are being taken in an attempt to try to make it a more even playing field.
      Chris Jr is contracted to have a second weigh-in at 11 o’ clock on the morning of the fight and he won’t  be allowed to put on more than 10lbs overnight.
      But in the 11 hours before he steps in the ring it is possible he could eat two meals and he will certainly have drunk plenty of water.
      Boxing is dangerous enough already without putting extra perilous obstacles in a fighter’s wayColin Hart
      Just one litre of water is equivalent to 2.2lbs and I would very surprised if Eubank isn’t well over a stone heavier than Conor by the time the first bell sounds.
      That’s an enormous advantage over such a much smaller opponent. 
      In this column in July I wrote there must be reservations about the validity of Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank’s kids fighting each other and suggested it smacks of a money-making gimmick. 
      There has never been a more acrimonious rivalry in British boxing history generated by the two battles between their fathers in the 90s – and as expected their heirs’ hostilities have certainly caught the fans’ imagination. 
      But boxing is dangerous enough already without putting extra perilous obstacles in a fighter’s way. 

      Teddy Atlas, who was teenager Mike Tyson’s first trainer and one of America’s most respected, once said “Catch-weights are essentially breaking the rules to benefit someone else – a blight on the sport.”
      I couldn’t agree more. More
