      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.

      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

      Tyson Fury BANNED from cooking at home after ‘absolutely disgusting’ incident as Paris reveals his love of bacon pudding

      by

      TYSON FURY may be the king of the heavyweights, but he’s far from the king of his kitchen.The Gypsy King has been banished from whipping up meals in the hub of the home by his wife Paris for once serving up a plate of slop for the kids after labouring away for five hours.

      And the ordeal, which Paris recalls in her second book, still haunts her to this day.
      She wrote: “With the whole house smelling like rotten dog food, he called us all into the kitchen and started dishing out bowls of lumpy grey sludge.
      “It looked absolutely disgusting.”
      Tyson, 35, may be creative in the ring but that doesn’t make him a dab hand in the kitchen – which he’s only allowed in to eat his meals and hang out with the kids.

      Paris continued: “Unsurprisingly, none of us would go near it – even Tyson decided to give it a miss – and five minutes later the whole lot went to the neighbour’s dog.
      “Other than manning the summer barbecue (which, like with many men, appeals to his hunter-gatherer nature) my husband is now banned from any cooking duties.
      “It’s just not worth the hassle.”
      The pandemic, as it did with many families, brought the Fury clan – which got a little bigger this month – closer.

      And like many people, Tyson developed a specific “craving” for meals close to his heart – in particular bacon pudding.
      “Tyson really loved sampling bacon pudding again – it brought back all his boyhood memories – although it has to be off the menu if he’s training for a fight,” Paris recalled.
      Paris knows all too well the importance of her hubby following a strict diet when he’s in training camp as she used to cook his meals before he hired a full-time nutritionist and chef.
      She said: “Whenever that’s the case, Tyson has to follow a strict low-carb, protein-rich diet devised specifically by his nutritionist.
      “Gone are the days when, as part of the #TeamFury entourage, it was my job to keep him well-fed and nourished before a big fight.
      “He’s won many a title belt on my grilled salmon and roast vegetables.”
      WBC heavyweight champion Fury won’t be inhaling any comfort food any time soon as he has back-to-back fights coming up.
      The Wythenshawe warrior will lock horns with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a controversial crossover clash on October 28.
      And he’ll dive straight back into training camp for his long-overdue undisputed heavyweight title fight with unified king Oleksandr Usyk, which is currently in the works for 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

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

      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.

      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
