      by

      Swarmz has now lost six stone
      He weighed 17st 6lb when he first walked into the boxing gym – now a year later he is down to 11st 9lb.
      And Swarmz – real name Brandon Scott – hailed his coach Huzaifah Iqbal and strict diet for the sensational turnaround.
      He told SunSport: “A good coach, good people around me, good diet and training twice a day. 
      “I just keep mentally fit and keep it strict. I used to eat a lot of McDonald’s and stuff and just not being consistent.

      “Now I eat my greens and I’m like Popeye now! I like my spinach.” 
      Gone are the days of a Big Mac and fries for Swarmz, who now lives off a slither of salmon and vegetables.
      The recording artist revealed it was only when he first got under the bright lights that things clicked into place.
      He said: “It was the fighting. When I actually got in the ring with KSI it changed me.

      “I wouldn’t say the sparring or anything that’s just part of the training but when I get in the ring, the losses changed me. 
      “It made me a stronger person. Look at the way I’m looking now.” 
      Swarmz, 27, was due to face Ryan Taylor, 30, on Saturday in a rematch of the bout he won in one round in January.
      But an arrest just days before the grudge match has ruled Taylor out with Misfits searching for a new opponent.

      And Fury appears to be in the shape of his life as he posed topless to show off his sensational two month transformation.
      He captioned the post: “A 9 week transformation… one thing about me, I don’t cut corners. Ever.”
      Fiancee Molly-Mae Hague commented: “Absolutely insane.”
      The 2019 Love Islander has closed out his training camp for the bout and has been left completely shredded.

      Fury, 24, comes into the bout having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul, 26, by split-decision in their February grudge match.
      And he admitted to putting on THREE STONE after the win by gorging on £300 worth of cheesecake and junk food.
      But it is obvious Fury had no problem back in fighting shape as he prepares to come down in weight to face KSI.
      Despite his stunning transformation, KSI, 30, hit back: “Will make it so much funnier when I knock him out.”

      Fury scaled 184.5lb (13st 1lb) before beating Paul but must weight no more than 183lb (13st) this Friday.
      The reality TV star – who shares a £3.5million Cheshire mansion with his partner Molly-Mae – has made the hour journey to Manchester.
      And he arrived full of confidence after claiming he could beat KS even after a boozy bender.
      He told PA: “These guys don’t really call for me to step up to world title ability. I’m levels above these guys.
      “I could beat KSI after 15 pints of beer. I could literally go down the pub all day, fight him at night-time and still beat him.
      “If we fight 100 times I beat him 100 times.”

      Tyson Fury’s nutritionist reveals he’s eating like a child in preparation for Francis Ngannou fight

      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. 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “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.
