      And fans could not believe Hall still had abs on show despite his hulking physique.
      One said: “Abs at nearly 400lbs is just a sick joke.”
      Another said: “F*****g guy has abs at almost 400 lbs…… imagine him at 315.”
      One added: “Why does he have abs at this weight.”

      Another said: “Abs at 400?!?”
      Hall, 35, is in the process of transitioning to bodybuilding, having also tried his hand at boxing to fight rival Hafthor Bjornsson, 34, in 2022.
      Opening up on the difference between strongman and bodybuilding, he said: “I love moving weights as hard as physically possible.
      “Unlike strongman, where you just move the weight from A to B. And you win competitions, you win lots of money.

      “No, no, no. In bodybuilding, you’ve got to move the weight as slow and as painfully as possible.
      “And you can still win loads of money, so that’s good.”
      He added: “I’ve done the strongman, done a bit of boxing, I was a national champion swimmer back in the day, I think bodybuilding is a great transfer over from strongman.”

      After an underwhelming first year at the Etihad, Grealish has begun to live up to his £100million price tag by becoming a regular starter for the English champions.
      And he is also box office away from the field – as was demonstrated by his chaotic celebrations after the Champions League final.
      But Grealish’s unique persona does not stop there.
      The ex-Aston Villa forward also has some rather bizarre eating habits.
      READ MORE ON JACK GREALISH
      When asked to name his favourite pre-match meal earlier this month, he gave a remarkably basic answer.
      Grealish said: “I eat anything really. But recently I have been having beans on toast, a bit English.”
      However, that’s not where the Birmingham-born star’s intriguing food preferences end.
      Beans on toast might be a rather unimaginative option, but he also knows how to splash out on a big cheat meal.

      SunSport revealed that Grealish enjoys gorging on FIVE Chinese takeaway dishes after a match.
      The mammoth dinner is said to set him back £53.50 every time he orders it.
      Speaking about the meal, he said: “Yeah, I love Chinese, man. After every game I get one. I go to Wing’s in Manchester.
      “I usually get a takeaway. I have Singapore chow mein, I have egged fried rice, I have salt and pepper chips, I have salt and pepper prawns and then curry sauce.
      “I then mix it all in and have a big free for all.” More

      Now he is back on the pitch — and supporting Race for Life fundraisers.
      Brooks, from Warrington, Cheshire, recalled: “I went away with Wales and they do a medical check at the start of international duty.
      “I explained to the doctor I’d been struggling to sleep and had some night sweats as well as a sudden drop in weight.
      “Twenty minutes later he came to my room and said, ‘I don’t want to alarm you but everything you have described to me is a symptom of cancer’.

      “It was a big one to try to digest and knowing you had to ring your mum and dad and tell them something so big when you still didn’t know for sure yourself, meant it was a very tough couple of hours.
      “The worst pops into your head.”
      The Cherries’ midfielder spent 18-months going through intensive treatment after his stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis in October 2021.
      Brooks added: “To be able to play football again is a real blessing and I hope people will take part in Race for Life to support the kind of research that helped to get me back on the pitch.”

      How YouTube star AnEsonGib went from morbidly obese gamer to ripped boxer with stunning SEVEN STONE body transformation

      by

      YOUTUBE star AnEsonGib went from obese gamer to ripped boxer with a stunning SEVEN STONE body transformation. Gib – real name Ali Loui Al-Fakhri – shot to fame online playing Fifa and developed an unhealthy diet of junk food and fizzy drinks.

      Gib admitted he was ‘morbidly obese’ at one point

      He even admitted he was “morbidly obese” with a “belly and t**s” before he first walked into the gym.  
      But the rise of celebrity boxing matches gave ‘Gib’ the chance to complete a stunning body and career transformation.
      He was first trained by cruiserweight boxing prospect Viddal Riley and introduced to strength and conditioning coach Leon Wills.
      Wills has been with Gib for every fight since and helped mastermind a sensational weight loss.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He told SunSport: “Gib was very overweight for his height and size, I think his max was probably about 110kg.
      “But mentally, funnily enough he was always strong. He’s always had a strong mind, strong willpower so he’s one of those clients that will always say yes to whatever.
      “He doesn’t moan about the exercise, he doesn’t moan about the workout and he gets it done. He’s well driven.”
      At Gib’s heaviest, he weighed over 17 STONE but his boxing return will be at 11st 8lb, meaning he has shifted almost seven stone.

      Wills said: “He’s fighting now at 75kg, so it’s about 45kg [he’s lost]. And the most important thing is his physique has changed, his body composition.
      “A lot of fat loss, muscle gain, he’s looking like a proper gentleman now, a proper man.”
      Gib is now coached by Abdul Yaseen – with Riley focussing on his own fight career – working alongside Wills.
      He has four or five strength and conditioning sessions a week, lasting for an hour, with warm up and stretches included.
      Wills works on strength, explosiveness and speed to help aid Gib’s performances in the ring.
      And having come down in weight, he also has a nutritionist on board, like he did in his 2020 loss to Jake Paul, to help instead put on size.

      Wills revealed: “We’re in constant communication.
      “She’ll ask me what type of sessions he’s having this week and I’ll explain to her whether it’s like a high impact session, or a demanding or light session, so we can balance the calories and X, Y, Z.”
      Wills has worked with big stars from the crossover boxing world, including KSI, 29, and his brother Deji, 26.
      But he is also part of Riley’s camp, who continues to improve as an 8-0 prospect with five knockouts.
      Gib has trained alongside all three and Wills said: “He’s a workhorse, very competitive.
      “If I make him train alongside someone, he’s going to make sure he’s beating him or doing the workout faster etc.
      “But they’re all good. They’re all different in their own right. Some can’t do certain exercises, some can, so everything is tailored to that specific athlete.

      “And that’s the thing with S&C, it’s not one size fits all. It has to be tailored, they all fight different.”
      Gib was stopped in one round by Paul in his professional debut.
      But he has bounced back with two wins since, against Americans Tayler Holder and Austin McBroom.
      And after six months out of the ring, Gib announced he had signed onto KingPyn’s eight-man winner-take-all tournament.
      Amazingly, he drew McBroom in the quarter-final with the rivals rematching on Saturday at Wembley Arena.
      And Gib enters the knockout tournament as a favourite to win it all.
      Wills said: “He has experience now, he’s been doing it for probably the longest. He’s got power, he’s got the best engine in the game – in the game totally.

      “So that’s what he needs to put altogether, the experience, the engine, boxing IQ, that’s what he needs to demonstrate and get through everybody in this tournament.”

      TOMMY FURY revealed he has put on THREE STONE in weight since beating Jake Paul – aided by swapping diets with Eddie Hall. The boxing and Love Island star linked up with former world’s strongest man Hall for a YouTube video.

      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.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      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.
      The Watford-born ace weighed 17st 7lb before his first ever loss to Andy Ruiz Jr.

      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.
      Most read in Boxing
      “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
