      His personal chef Wesley Cannonier caters to his every need
      But he also enjoys some home comforts and staple foods his mum used to make.
      Wesley Cannonier is AJ’s personal chef and he is tasked with fuelling the heavyweight during his training camps.
      He told Matchroom all the food Joshua consumes is organic and sourced locally, often from farmers.
      Joshua, 34, is fed steaks, potatoes and plenty of greens but he is also allowed treats – including coconut bread, carrot cake and muffins, as long as they are reduced sugar.

      A normal day for the Brit consists of five meals – breakfast, a snack, then lunch followed by more snacks, often an eggshake including nuts, and dinner in the evening.
      AJ’s go-to breakfast is scrambled eggs with scotch bonnet chilli and all-purpose seasoning – just how his mum used to make growing up.
      Cannonier has to cater to Joshua’s every need – even when he disagrees with how a dish should be cooked.
      AJ prefers his steak cooked medium-well while Cannonier, who has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, likes medium-rare.

      Despite the difference in agreement it has proved a productive partnership, with Joshua battering Otto Wallin in five rounds following his training camp at the end of last year.
      Next up for the former champion is a showdown with Francis Ngannou.
      If he wins that contest Joshua could finally fight Tyson Fury – a match-up Eddie Hearn predicts he will come out on top in. More

      On Thursday, his impressive results were showcased on the front of Men’s Health magazine.
      And the outspoken promoter, who represents heavyweight superstar Anthony Joshua, admits his trimmer look has given him even more confidence.
      Speaking to Men’s Health UK, he said: “When I wake up in the morning, I go into the bathroom and I get a glimpse of myself and go, ‘F**king hell yeah,’ and that’s good enough.
      “That makes me feel great for the day.”

      Hearn, who ran the London Marathon in 2014, always “hated” the gym until recently.
      But he knew he had to do something about his health as he entered middle age – with the Essex-born businessman conceding he once feared for his life.
      Referencing how the demands of his job escalated in 2021, he said: “The workload trebled, and I just thought to myself, one, you can’t do this for very long if you continue living the same lifestyle, and two, you might die.
      “As extreme as that sounds, I’ve got a history of heart problems in the family.

      “I’ve got a job that’s full of stress. I’m not really sleeping. My diet’s s**t. I’m not training that much. I’m overweight.
      “It’s all the classic signs of a short lifespan.”
      Now his outlook has completely changed as he focuses on improving his fitness even further.
      He added: “Right now, physically, I feel better than I’ve ever felt in my life, and I’m 44 years old.
      “I’m excited to see what’s going to happen in six months, what’s going to happen in 12 months, what’s going to happen in three years.”
      Last week, Hearn watched Joshua, 34, stop Otto Wallin in the main event of a blockbuster show in Saudi Arabia.
      But a clash with long-time rival Deontay Wilder appears to be off the table after the hard-hitting American, 38, was outboxed as he lost to Joseph Parker by unanimous decision.

      I became an Ally Pally legend for my ‘Pie Man’ nickname but I’m unrecognisable after my incredible body transformation

      by

      DARTS legend Andy Smith was known on the circuit as the “Pie Man” thanks to his larger-than-life personality and affection for short-crust confectionery.The three time World Grand Prix quarter-finalist won six PDC Pro Tour Titles after joining the organisation in 2004.

      Like many darters, that came after years of ploughing away on the BDO circuit before working his way up to the pros.
      While in the PDC he embraced his stocky figure by having Weird Al Yankovic’s “Eat It” as his walk out song as he made his way to the oche.
      Now 56, he has not returned to the tour since losing his PDC Card in December 2016.
      And he has taken that time away from the oche to reinvent himself with an incredible body transformation.

      New pictures show the “Pie Man” looking far trimmer than his throwing days – with Smith looking almost unrecognisable.

      New boxing weight division created which could see one of most feared heavyweights move down and dominate

      by

      THE HEAVYWEIGHT division could be set for a major shake-up after plans to introduce a new weight class were ratified.The World Boxing Council shook up the sport in 2020 by introducing a bridgerweight division, in which competitors weigh between 200 and 224lbs.

      And the World Boxing Association have, somewhat belatedly, followed in the Mexican sanctioning body’s suit with the introduction of a super-cruiserweight division.
      Like bridgerweight, the newly-formed division will have a minimum weight of 200lbs and a maximum of 224lbs.
      An excerpt of a WBA statement read: “The WBA Executive Committee approved the creation of the super cruiserweight division in a vote called by the president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza.
      “This new division will be between 200 and 224 pounds. Meanwhile, it will be located between the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The WBC introduced bridgerweight due to the natural growth of combatants over the last few decades and to negate the huge jump between the cruiser and heavyweight divisions.
      In a statement via World Boxing News, WBC chief Mauricio Sulaiman said: “The problem in most divisions was largely addressed, humanity’s natural growth has generated important changes in the major divisions
      “Ten years ago, the WBC moved the cruiserweight limit from 190 to 200 pounds.
      “Considering the weight of the athletes, they have grown impressively.

      “The major division, the heavyweight, means the maximum glory.
      “The world heavyweight champion has traditionally been recognized as the most important athlete globally, the invincible, the gladiator.
      “The heavyweight world champion initially started at 176 pounds.
      “Now, in the 21st Century, we see the different weights in the heavyweight division.
      “We have decided to create a new division called “Bridger” [or super cruiserweight to WBN] as it is the necessary bridge to serve the large number of boxers who are between 200 and 224 pounds.”
      The super-cruiserweight division would be a perfect weight class for former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder to compete in should he fancy a change of scenery.
      The Bronze Bomber has weighed inside the 224lbs weight limit in seven of his last nine fights, although he was heavier in his rematch and trilogy fight with Tyson Fury.
      Wilder was, however, inside the super-cruiserweight limit when he knocked out former sparring partner Robert Helenius with one punch last October, tipping the scales at 214.5lbs. More

      Man City ace Erling Haaland feasting on goals after having special food shipment jetted into UK from Norway

      by

      ERLING Haaland is feasting on goals again this season – after having a special shipment of salmon jetted into the UK from his native Norway.The Scandinavian country is regarded as having some of the best fish stocks in the world.

      And with the striker unhappy with the quality of fish on offer in Manchester, he has persuaded officials to source the fish direct from his homeland to ensure it’s up to scratch.
      The striker, who has 13 goals this season, now tucks into the fish each week to top up on vitamin D, B12 and selenium and iodine.
      A source said: “Haaland’s been banging on about the fish. He wanted salmon, so he made the nutritionist arrange for the best fish restaurant in Norway to have their kitchen staff fly over.
      “It’s cost an absolute fortune – but it’s the best salmon.”
      READ MORE ON MAN CITY
      Haaland’s dedication to the game means he pays very close attention to his diet, consuming 6,000 calories a day.
      The Sun has previously told how he enjoys an unusual diet as he tries to keep himself in peak physical shape to terrorise defenders.
      He regularly downs a “magic potion” of cow’s milk smoothies laced with spinach and kale and enjoys feasting on cow hearts and liver.
      He also enjoys a pre-match lasagne cooked by his dad before a game.

      Erling’s dad Alfie said his son tried to follow a strict diet after seeing how eating healthily had allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to become one of the best players in the world.
      He said: “He was told a story by Patrice Evra about a lunch he had with Ronaldo and Cristiano had fish, nothing else. Erling now tries to do the same things because Ronaldo is 38 and still at the top of the game.”
      Victoria Braathen, UK director of the Norwegian Seafood Council, said: “I’m happy two of Norway’s most famous treasures have found each other in the UK. Our salmon is the world’s most popular fish, globally recognised for its quality and nutritious credentials.”
      Haaland also takes ice baths to recover after games and bans gadgets from his bedroom so his sleep is not affected.
      He will not play at Euro 2024 after Norway failed to qualify. More
