      Throughout the day, the pair swapped diets starting with a cooked breakfast consisting of over 2,000 calories each.
      Hall ordered Fury a fry up, with an additional sausage, hash brown, mushrooms, fried bread and coffee.
      Impressively, the 9-0 boxer cleaned his plate and joked about reaping the rewards since beating rival Paul in February.
      He said: “I have put on three stone in four weeks.”

      Fury, 23, weighed in at 13st 1lb before beating Paul, 26, by split-decision, meaning he is now over 16 STONE having not trained since the win.
      But after his hearty breakfast, he picked up the gloves again for a boxing session with Hall before working up an appetite for lunch.
      Hall – who lost his boxing debut to strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson – served Fury a 400g steak, with 400g of rice and 200g worth of veg.
      For dessert, the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson enjoyed half a family cheesecake, taking his calorie intake to 5,700.

      Hall, 35, then gave Fury a ride in his TANK stopping off for a Fredo chocolate bar and McDonald’s milkshake.
      It fuelled the two up for a gym session, working on their chest and triceps, with Fury made to drink a protein shake.
      To recover from their double training session, Hall welcomed Fury to his home spa, including a sauna and ice bath.
      Their day ended with a sit-down dinner, where the calories continued to rise.
      Hall ordered Fury a ginger beer with TWO starters, calamari and beef meatballs.
      And his main consisted of two steaks with peppercorn sauce, a side of fries and seasonal veg.

      Again Fury finished his plate and had a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream – meaning he ended the day having consumed over 9,000 calories.
      The average male is advised to have 2,500 calories a day – meaning Fury had almost FOUR TIMES that amount.
      His next fight is not yet been determined amid rumours of a rematch with Paul but fans loved his collab with Hall.
      One said: What a fantastic watch. Brilliant chemistry, great lads, more to come.”

      Another added: “We need more of these, that was epic.”
      One agreed: “Tommy you and Eddie need to do more together brilliant video this loved it.”

      I’m a Chelsea ace and eat gummy bears and Skittles at half-time, I tried to be more ‘professional’ but I’m a sugar freak

      by

      SELF-CONFESSED “sugar freak” Kai Havertz claims scoffing gummy bears and Skittles at half-time has transformed his form.The attacker revealed that Chelsea’s nutritionist REVERSED a sugar ban imposed by his own eating expert.
      Kai Havertz says eating sugary treats again and home-cooking from partner Sophia Weber makes him feel like his old self again
      [embedded content]
      The Germany star believes he felt worse after initially trying to become “more professional” and following the instructions of a personal nutritionist.
      Now he believes he’s his old self – after his club’s dietary specialist advisor said the 23-year-old NEEDS the sugar.
      Ahead of Tuesday’s Premier League clash at home to Liverpool, Havertz told German outlet EHRENPFLAUME: “Last summer I completely changed my diet and had a nutritionist. 
      “I just wanted to become a bit more professional and everything like that.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      “I did that for half a year actually and we had a cook in London at the beginning, who came every day and cooked for us.
      “And I have to say, I did not feel good at all. This has had the complete opposite effect on me.”
      Havertz said he drank coke after games and “I need sweets and stuff because that gives me strength and energy”.
      The advice from his nutritionist, however, was to “stop completely with it”.

      And the former Bayer Leverkusen ace claims that change backfired.
      He said: “I stopped completely and that had the opposite effect on me.
      “Then we got a nutritionist at Chelsea and he completely went the other policy and said, ‘Kai, you need the Fanta, you need the coke, drink one a day’.
      “At half-time I get gummy bears, skittles or something.
      “He has completely followed the opposite policy and… I was full of energy again.
      “That’s why now the tide has turned a bit.”
      But Havertz reckons there’s another reason too.
      He said: “Now (girlfriend) Sophia (Weber) is the cook and actually cooks almost every day now.”

      AJ is now at 18st 3lb, which means he bulked up by almost a stone after his consecutive heartbreaking losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
      The British superstar was 17st 6lb during his second defeat to Usyk in August and 17st 14lb for the first loss 11 months earlier.
      The 33-year-old now weighs 1lb heavier than his previous most hefty clash against Carlos Takam in 2017.

      That was when AJ admitted after the fight that he ballooned up because Takam was a last-minute replacement for Kubrat Pulev.
      Joshua’s current weight beats all of his previous numbers since 2018 when he took on Joseph Parker.
      The heavyweight athlete was at 17st 4lb against Parker and bulked up by 4lb for his fight with Alexander Povetkin that same year.

      How Franklin lost 2st for Anthony Joshua fight with strict diet as he reveals very British way he’ll celebrate win

      by

      JERMAINE FRANKLIN has beef and a trip to Buckingham Palace  on the menu if he beats Anthony Joshua on Saturday.Since his points defeat to Dillian Whyte in November, the American swapped red meat for fish and fruit smoothies — and lost almost two stone.

      And if the underdog can cut down Joshua as impressively as his waistline, he has a very British way to celebrate on Sunday.
      Franklin, 29, said: “I stopped eating red meat and cut down on sugar and lost 22lb.
      “The things I miss most are probably ribs or steak. I used to love steak. I’d feel really bad — if I smell it, I instantly get hungry!
      “Once I win I will have a good pile of ribs and steak and I want to go to see the city a little bit. See Buckingham Palace.

      “We went past the Tower of London already but I like to stay in my room and focus before a fight, so I will try to go probably after the fight. After I win, not if I win.”
      Joshua refused Franklin’s handshake at the Wednesday press conference as the trash-talk got spicy.
      The Michigan man said: “I was going to shake his hand but he turned the opposite way.
      “He might have been mad because I said I was going to knock him out.

      “I just answered the questions how they asked them — I didn’t mean no disrespect.
      “I didn’t disrespect the guy but if they ask me what I think I am going to do, I am going to tell them. I’m not going to sugar-coat it.”
      Despite a decade of Olympic and world title wins, in some of Britain’s biggest stadiums, AJ has failed to sell out the 18,000-seat O2.
      And that might let the Franklin family fan club overpower Team Joshua and urge their man on to the upset.

      “You might hear her over a lot of people. They’re going to have to tell her to sit down.”
      Franklin’s  godmother, nicknamed Boobut, died at the start of the week and the American admits he will not even start trying to grieve until he can get back home.
      He said: “She was struggling with some health problems.
      “We were very close. She’d always been around, always wished me the best. We always spent a lot of time together, since childhood.

      “It was hard to take. I didn’t think it was real. I thought my mum was lying when she told me.
      “I have had to put it to the back of my mind until I get back home and can start to process it.” More

      “Sometimes after training we drink beetroot juice with cinnamon or cayenne pepper.
      “When we mix many foods at once, sometimes we aren’t doing the right thing.
      “We feel bloated, have to loosen our trousers. The mix is ​​too much for our body.”

      Kevin Pannewitz, 31, was once on the books of Wolfsburg after earning a 2012 transfer following his impressive displays at Hansa Rostock.
      But the German journeyman midfielder struggled with weight and discipline issues, though.
      And his football career crumbled away with a series of short-term stints at various clubs around his homeland.
      However, Pannewitz is now set to go into six months of intense training to prepare for his dramatic career change.

      And he even has an MMA fight lined up against fellow ex-footballer Martin Fenin for the autumn.
      Fenin, 35, had a more successful career on the pitch, playing for Eintracht Frankfurt and earning 16 Czech Republic caps.
      But Pannewitz is confident he can get the better of Fenin when they do battle in the octagon.
      The Berlin-born star said: “I want to prove to myself, and everyone out there, that I can achieve anything if I really want to.

      “The athlete in me will now conquer the toughest sport in the world in MMA.”
      Pannewitz’s intense training regime and strict diet will be tracked for a film documentary.
      He needs to lose a staggering 56kgs – or 8st 12lbs – in order to make the 83kg weight limit for the bout.
      Promoters Oktagon Deutschland plan to post fortnightly updates of his progress on YouTube.
      Ex-Fulham boss Felix Magath was the manager who signed Pannewitz for Wolfsburg in 2012.
      But the midfielder was released a year later due to drink-related problems.
      Magath said at the time: “Kevin’s lifestyle got in his way.  We hoped his performances would make him forget his thirst.
      “But it soon became clear that he was not behaving in a professional way.”

      Chelsea boss Graham Potter reveals what he is doing ‘to help him relax’ after morale-boosting Champions League win

      GRAHAM POTTER admitted a weight has been lifted following victory in the Champions League – and turned to Elton John in relaxation. Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to progress into the quarter-finals, giving the club a much needed morale boost.

      Potter was asked if he listens to any songs to help him relax under pressure and he responded: “I’m still standing.”
      That is Sir Elton’s 1983 classic from his Too Low for Zero album.
      Chelsea travel to Leicester off the back of victory over Leeds at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
      But they remain in tenth, despite getting back to winning ways as Potter admitted a weight has been lifted with recent wins.

      He said: “Yes, in some ways.
      “It’s not something I get too bogged down with. I am the same as every Chelsea fan. It’s better if you win.
      “It’s really difficult to just play a game of football at whatever level and just come home and everything is fine.
      “That’s not to say I am a disaster zone around the family.”

      Chelsea are nine points off fourth-placed Tottenham and winning the Champions League could be their easiest route into next season’s competition.

      He said: “I understand the question, but I think it’s almost second guessing loads of things.
      “You can tie yourself in knots and ultimately football is just keep it simple. Next match, try to win.”

      Ripped Cristiano Ronaldo scoffs a football cake in his tiny boxers.. but fans see right through it

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO was fooling nobody as he posed in his pants while sat on a throne appearing to eat cake.Despite now being 38, the Portuguese legend remains in incredible shape due to his eating, exercise routine and sleep and rest following his explosive exit from Manchester United in December.
      Cristiano Ronaldo produced this pose to advertise his underwearCredit: Instagram @cr7cristianoronaldo
      We revealed last week how Ronaldo has raised training and nutrition standards since arriving at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
      He has just been named the Saudi Pro League player of the month after scoring eight goals and producing two assists in four appearances throughout February.
      With form like that, few would begrudge him a cheat day, but supporters were having none of it as he posted the latest advert for his CR7 boxers.
      The photo showed his ripped physique sitting in a throne in only his underwear, and he appeared to be tucking into a huge slice of a football cake.

      Ronaldo captioned it with: “Turn your hunger to win into your greatest strength.#CR7 #DEARYS7NS #CR7UNDERWEAR #GLUTTONY.”
      But his followers saw right through it, with one reply saying: “There’s no way he’d eat that cake… Diet is very important…”

      Another commented: “We know he didn’t eat that cake because he avoids foods that harm him. The man is a legend.”
      As we revealed previously, Ronaldo leads the most disciplined of lifestyles but can eat up to SIX meals a day, with fish a big part of his diet.
      Most read in Football
      Swordfish, tuna and braised cod are particular favourites.
      He regards chicken as ‘magical’ due to its high protein and low fat content.
      For breakfast Ronaldo will eat egg or ham and cheese and low-fat yoghurt and if he doesn’t have it for brekkie, the now Al-Nassr forward will wolf down avocado toast for snacks during the day.
      Lunch No1 could consist of chicken and salad, while No2 might be fish – maybe tuna with salad, eggs and olives.
      Dinner will see the ace, who was released by Manchester United in December after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, fill his boots with meat or fish, maybe breaking them up in two separate sittings.
      Steak, swordfish or the Lisbon speciality of Bacalao a la Brasa – a mixture of braised cod, onions, thinly sliced potatoes and scrambled eggs should see him through till bedtime. More
