      Fury’s ten-rounder with Ngannou has been slammed by the boxing world, with many believing he’s making a mockery of the sport by taking the fight.
      And judging by his pre-fight diet of turkey dinosaurs and chicken nuggets, he’s not taking the Cameroonian clubber too seriously.
      Fury’s nutritionist George Lockhart told Betway: “He’s got a lot of funny guilty pleasures…
      “He’s definitely got a sweet tooth, but if you bread stuff and crisp stuff up, it’s definitely a lot more enjoyable than a regular grilled chicken.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “But I think it’s because he’s got seven kids, you know what I’m saying?
      “Just probably indulging in a couple of freaking chicken nuggets here and there.”
      WBC heavyweight champion Fury, 35, also isn’t a fan of veg, which Lockhart has to sneak into his meals,
      He revealed: “He’s not a big fan of veg, so I cook a lot for long periods of time to mask the flavour.

      “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.”
      Although he regularly consumes Turkey dinosaurs and chicken nugs, Lockhart does his utmost to ensure Fury’s diet is a balanced one.
      He said of the Wythenshawe warrior’s daily intake: “It’s a mixture of everything, every single meal.
      “I actually give a lot of lean pork to him and Joseph (Parker). Chicken too.
      “I’ll do red meat on days that they’re off, to give their body the time to digest.
      “Red meat is the most nutrient-dense meat out there, but it also takes time to digest, so I don’t want to be giving it to him every day.”
      Fan-favourite Fury is seemingly using MMA man-mountain Ngannou as a warm-up bout for his long-overdue undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk, which SunSport understands is on course to take place on December 23. More

      Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski’s bizarre ‘backwards eating diet’ revealed and it’s inspired by nutritionist wife Anna

      by

      BARCELONA superstar Robert Lewandowski has adopted a strange backwards eating diet that sees him eat dessert BEFORE starters.Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world having terrorised opposing defences for years during his time at Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and now Barca.

      And the 35-year-old has stated he didn’t really reach the best of his ability until he sorted his diet out.
      Many would think that means he would cut sugar, fast food and alcohol, but in the Poland international’s case it means something way more radical.
      According to The Guardian, Lewandowski switched the order of his meals as part of a diet that would be the dream of any child told by their mum they have to eat their veggies before pudding.
      The Pole star always starts with dessert before moving on to his starter and main course.

      But there is a method to this madness as Lewa was inspired by his wife Anna, who is a former karate champion that now specialises in fitness and nutrition.
      The idea behind it is that sugary foods are digested faster and thus re-ordering meals ensures they don’t mix with other food groups, like proteins and carbohydrates.
      This unique approach helps fat burn quicker and has worked out for the Barcelona star who is still in sensational shape despite his advanced age.
      Lewandowski’s former Poland team-mate Thiago Cionek, though, insists there is much more to his diet assigned by Anna.

      Cionek told ESPN: “He is a guy who is hungry to improve as a player, and for that reason, he has a special diet that his wife gives him.
      “She is a nutritionist and is well known in Poland. Robert even told me that the big change in his career, when he reached the elite clubs and in the national team, was when he radically changed what he ate.
      “On game day, he eats a lot of protein. And there is always tuna for breakfast. He also avoids anything with gluten and lactose.
      “The day before playing, after dinner, he still finishes off with a bowl of rice pudding to fill the body with carbohydrates and glucose to play the next day. Then, in recovery, there are lots of vegetables and avocado.” More

      Canelo Alvarez responds to Jermell Charlo’s dramatic ONE STONE body transformation ahead of historic undisputed fight

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ knows all too well about packing on the pounds in a bid for boxing glory. The Mexican superstar won his first piece of gold in the 154lb light-middleweight division but he has gone as high as 175lb at light-heavy.

      Canelo has since settled down as the 168lb undisputed super-middleweight king – a weight he has never lost at.
      But on Saturday night the roles will be reversed when Jermell Charlo jumps TWO divisions from light-middle to challenge Alvarez.
      The American will go up 14lb – which is ONE STONE – but even Canelo believes Charlo has the size and skills to make the leap of faith.
      He told SunSport: “When you have that time and that kind of body that Jermell Charlo has, you can do it.

      “You can handle that because he’s big, he’s a big guy. And when you have the skills, you can do it.” 
      The Showtime PPV bout will make boxing history as it will be the first time two current undisputed champions have fought.
      Canelo, 33, achieved the feat in just 11 months of activity, sealing the job in November 2021 with a stoppage over Caleb Plant, 31.
      Meanwhile Charlo, 33, knocked out Brian Castano, 34, in their May 2022 rematch to clinch the WBO belt missing from his unified collection.

      After twin brother Jermell – WBC middleweight champ – was deemed unable to fight Canelo, the chance to make history presented itself.
      And Alvarez is fully equipped with what it feels like to enter the ring as the undisputed best in your division.
      He said: “You feel confident. You feel confident because you’ve beaten everybody in your weight class and you feel confident. 
      “I think it’s a really good accomplishment because when you’re confident in the ring, it’s one of the best things. 
      “I think that’s one of the most important things in boxing, when you feel that confidence in your mind it’s something amazing.” 
      Canelo has shared the ring with the best of his era, with a CV including Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto and Gennady Golovkin.
      But still he has high praise for Charlo, who he rates as all-rounder.
      Canelo said: “I expect the best from him.

      “He has everything; he knows how to move in the ring, he knows how to box, he knows how to throw the punches, he knows how to counter punch, he knows how to go forward.

      Jonny Evans’ Man Utd return didn’t break internet like Cristiano Ronaldo’s but this free transfer may be a masterstroke

      by

      WHEN Manchester United re-signed Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, the sheer weight of social-media traffic almost broke the internet.When they re-signed Jonny Evans, there was little online except for a few ironic titters.

      Yet Evans has won the Champions League, three Premier Leagues, an FA Cup, two League Cups and more than 100 international caps.
      Unlike Ronaldo or Pogba, he is widely renowned as one of the best blokes in football.
      United spent hundreds of millions on ne’er- do-wells and dross in recent years but their free transfer of Evans, 35, looks a masterstroke.
      The Northern Irishman was magnificent in United’s crucial 1-0 win over Burnley.

      A gorgeous assist, an unfortunate disallowed goal and a defensive masterclass for a team which had conceded 14 goals in their previous  five matches.
      United were in dire need of a feelgood story.
      And, unless you’re poor old Harry Maguire — shunted down to fifth-choice centre-half — it is difficult to imagine a better one than the re-emergence of Evans.
      Meanwhile, there was a feeling the title race might be more interesting when Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City’s best player, suffered a long-term injury.

      Gary Lineker’s diet revealed as 62-year-old Match of the Day presenter explains how he stays in shape

      by

      GARY LINEKER has revealed how he continues to stay in top shape despite being aged 62.The England legend shot to superstardom across the globe with his exploits in front of goal during the 1980s and early 90s.

      Lineker made the breakthrough with his hometown club Leicester City before going on to fire them in for the likes of Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham.
      He scored 48 goals in 80 caps for the Three Lions and finished his playing career in Japan with Nagoya Grampus before entering the world of punditry.
      Lineker then replaced Des Lynham as host of Match of the Day in 1999 and has remained in the chair since and now earns £1.35m-a-year in the role.
      However, the much-loved icon still remains in impressive shape despite now being well into his sixties.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL
      And now he has revealed the secrets behind his success physically and is that he is following  Coldplay singer Chris Martin in the OMAD (one meal a day) diet plan.
      Lineker told The Times: “I care about the way I look. I’m a bit vain.”
      He said that he works out “three days a week with a personal trainer” that he describes as “killer sessions” and he also does “an hour of Pilates”. 
      However, despite sticking to the OMAD diet plan, he still indulges in a drink.

      He said: “I like wine, I like whisky. I never get hangovers.
      “That’s one of the luckiest things. I’ll get tired the next day if I had a big one, but I don’t get bad headaches or anything. I’ve never had one.”
      Martin embarked on the OMAD diet after seeing Bruce Springsteen’s physique on the same regime and Hollywood star Liz Hurley has also hailed it.
      It has been claimed that eating less and giving food more time to digest lowers inflammation, which reduces the risk of depression, heart problems, cancer and autoimmune diseases.
      And researchers in Canada reckon it can lead to the safe loss of up to 13 per cent of weight, and a US study in 2015 concluded the plan left people less likely to develop coronary artery disease and diabetes.
      But other studies found it hampers fighting infection, increases the risk of heart disease and shortens dieters’ lifespans, because eating all your food in one go can damage cells.
      And nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert says one meal a day could play havoc with blood-sugar levels, leaving dieters feeling dizzy, tired and craving carbs. More

      Inside Joe Joyce’s body transformation as he packs on 2st to hit career HEAVIEST for Zhilei Zhang rematch

      by

      JOE JOYCE packed on almost two stone to be a career heaviest for his massive revenge mission against Zhilei Zhang on Saturday night.The Putney Juggernaut, 38, lost around a stone before their April showdown that the 40-year-old Chinese southpaw won after battering the Brit’s right eye shut.

      But the Wembley Arena re-run will be a colossal 40st affair as Joyce tipped the scales at a whopping 20st 1lb and Zhang also added pounds to hit 20st 7lb.
      Fine art graduate Joyce was only 18st 4lb for the original clash and looked good at the weigh-in.
      But he put in the worst performance of his career after a new supplement  disagreed with his digestion, was peppered with every shot Zhang threw and had to be hauled out of the fight to save his vision.
      An extra 25lb will not make him any quicker or more illusive but his shots should carry more sting as he aims to get his career back on track.

      He said: “I knew the weight was a little bit light last time.
      “This time I’ve corrected all the mistakes and been more conscious of what I’ve been eating and the way I’m training.
      “I’m in a lot better a place, physically, mentally and also with my focus and drive to win this time.
      “I believe I’ll get victory in this fight. I can stop him if I hit him with the right shots.”

      However, Joyce remains haunted by the drastic end to his 15-fight winning streak and knows Zhang will target his damaged right eye again tonight.
      Joyce, who spent a night in hospital with a cracked cheekbone after the first bout, added: “It took me a couple of weeks to get over it.
      “Every now and then I have thoughts about it. It’s a very different environment when you lose a fight, compared to when you win.
      “It’s annoying, every once in a while you’re reminded that you lost a fight and I realise now how much I prefer the feeling of winning.
      “I wasn’t massively hurt, I did my usual cool down and then started to feel all the bumps and bruises.
      “But I wasn’t hurt apart from the eye swelling which went down in a week. I had a minor fracture but otherwise I was in good shape.
      “I could have carried on but then it might have got stopped later, with more damage to the eye, so it’s  better to regroup and go again.”
