Before he came on this camp, he would have two meals a day and a protein shake. He’s never eaten as much!”If I wasn’t doing my job properly, they [clients] wouldn’t be in phenomenal shape.”Marriott began his career in nutrition after beating cancer at the age of 27.The Sheffield-native became inspired to do so having worked in fast food restaurants in his younger years.Colin Hart on Fury vs Usyk
    This Little and Large affair is likely to be messy and more mundane than memorable with lots of clinches and Usyk using mind over matter as his most potent weapon.
    Logically there is no way the Gypsy King should lose — that old adage about a good big-un always beating a good little-un was coined for good reason.
    If it was the Fury of three years ago when he KO’d Deontay Wilder in the last of their unforgettable trilogy then I believe Usyk — despite his masterful skills and boxing brain — would be facing a painful defeat.
    But there was evidence seven  months ago  when Fury was lucky to get a debateable points win after crude MMA novice Francis Ngannou had floored him, that his powers may be in decline.
    The young Fury would never have been caught by Ngannou’s left hook that sent him to the canvas.
    It will be no surprise if Fury uses his height and weight advantage to physically wear Usyk  out.
    But my gut feeling is Usyk is clever enough to keep out the way of Fury’s big punches and earn a close but decisive points victory.
    Talking to boxing people and fans this week I have the impression Fury is losing popularity — not helped by his father John’s headbutting antics — and not too many tears will be shed if he should lose.

      Inside Tyson Fury’s 6,000 calories a day diet with Gypsy King’s favourite meals revealed ahead of Oleksandr Usyk fight

      TYSON FURY has been fed a diet of 6,000 calories a day to fuel himself for his fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Fury meets Usyk for the undisputed crown next Saturday in Saudi Arabia in the heavyweight division’s first ever four-belt unification bout.Inside Tyson Fury’s daily meal planAnd after the Gypsy King touched down in his temporary Riyadh training base, he showed off his trimmed down physique.In charge of keeping Fury a lean, mean, fighting machine are nutritionists George Lockhart and Greg Marriott. And Lockhart – who formerly worked with UFC legend Conor McGregor – gave Betway an inside look into Fury’s diet. He ran down what the WBC champion ate in the week running up to his last bout, against Francis Ngannou in October. READ MORE IN BOXINGFury has his first meal at 10am, which varied from a FIVE-egg omelette with turkey bacon, two large roasted potatoes and 1/2 an avocado.

Oleksandr Usyk spotted working on trademark move in training… but here’s why it WON’T work against Tyson FuryThe heavyweight is fighting in the early hours of the morning in Saudi, so he gets to bed late and enjoys a lie in to accustom to the time difference. And despite weighing over 19 STONE, chef Lockhart revealed Fury is not “a big eater”. He said: “Tyson’s very steady. Whether it’s an intense day or a light day, he’ll wake up and be almost the exact same weight, no matter what. “He has a little bit more of the higher fats. Though, he’s not actually a big eater like a lot of people would think. “When I started working with him, I thought I would be cooking for a freaking army, but that’s not the case.” Fury is undefeated in the ring and fears no opponent – but his biggest fight at the dinner table comes against vegetables. He said: “With Tyson, he’s not a big fan of veg, so I cook a lot for long periods of time to mask the flavour. READ MORE SUN STORIES”I’ll do it with chicken broth or bone broth. Or you can do it in a rice for a long period of time, so you can’t really taste it and blend it in. “But as the camp progresses, obviously veg has got to go up to make sure they’re getting all their micronutrients.” Fury’s fight week diet
