    An accidental elbow from sparring partner Agron Smakici re-opened the scar tissue left above Fury’s right eye from his 2019 clash with Otto Wallin and rendered him unable to compete.
    Saudi boxing kingpin Turki Alalshikh hastily rescheduled the undisputed showdown – the first in the heavyweight division for nearly 25 years – for May 18.
    Team Fury are pulling out all the stops to ensure the WBC heavyweight king makes the fight, with nutritionist George Lockhart implementing a diet high in protein and garlic to ensure he’s fighting fit for the Riyadh rumble.
    He told Betway: “High protein helps massively as the body needs to recover, rebuild and repair itself.

    “Lots of protein, lots of water and fluid, and while it’s not sexy that is the type of foods that will help recover a bad cut.
    “A lot of red meats and stuff with iron in it. Not just meats but things with a lot of micro-nutrients in it, including garlic, spinach, carrots, onion, and mix everything together.
    “Garlic is a great source to help you recover quickly as it kills off bacteria and germs in a cut.
    “Like I said red meat is the key source of protein.”

    TYSON FURY VS OLEKSANDR USYK: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT
    Lockhart – the former nutritionist of UFC legend Conor McGregor – is acutely aware of the fact that Fury’s diet won’t solely aid the healing of his cut.
    He admitted: “I’m not one of those nutritionists which says food will solve everything.
    Tyson Fury takes part in gruelling training session ahead of cancelled undisputed Usyk fight
    “But it has a huge impact over time in terms of recovery and injuries of that nature, but the most important thing is time.
    “The doctor said that the cut will heal in three weeks.
    “People don’t realise that the normal person is fine with a cut like this but if you’re going to get punched in the face, it will take a long time.
    “Even May is close for this fight to be happening but I know he wants to take care of business so I think he will get it done.
    “A lot of people don’t realise that when you are injured, your body burns more calories because it is putting a lot more effort in recovering and help with whatever injury it is, including a cut.
    “Healing a cut and a sprained ankle though are two different things.
    Tyson Fury got in a career-best shape for his crack at undisputed gloryCredit: INSTAGRAM@TYSONFURY
    “For inflammation, fish such as wild salmon and omega 3 are key sources of nutrition to overcome an injury like a sprained ankle.
    “You actually need to stay away from red meats and Omega 6.”
    Fury, 35, got into a career-best shape ahead of his now-postponed date with destiny – something Lockhart believes he’ll replicate for the biggest fight of his career.
    He said: “I haven’t spoken to him much recently since the last fight got cancelled.

    “He looks great and is in amazing shape. I saw the transformation; he’s looking lean and strong.
    “The thing about Tyson is, he is an animal, a beast, and will go in there with the reach, cardio, boxing IQ, power and size so it will be a very difficult night for Oleksandr Usyk.” More

    I worked as a McDonald’s cleaner but lasted just TWO DAYS – now I’m tearing it up in the Premier League

    SPURS ace Dejan Kulusevski plans to become a dab hand in the kitchen — but he was not even trusted with fast food as a teen.The Sweden midfielder, 23, went on work experience at McDonald’s as a cleaner when he was 15 — but he lasted just two days.

    But now he is tearing up the Premier League at TottenhamCredit: Getty
    Now he is trying cooking at home, and it is proving far more successful than his first-ever job.
    Kulusevski said: “I did work at McDonald’s! It was my first job. My best friend, his father worked there. I worked there for two days and didn’t go back. So it was a good week off!
    “I was just doing the cleaning there and they did not let me touch the food.
    “I like meat and I  am learning, looking at YouTube.

    “I don’t like numbers so I  don’t like recipes — trying to make things up.
    “I love everything in life so it is fun to improve with everything.”
    Kulusevski also lifted the lid on what life is like under manager Ange Postecoglou.
    Kulusevski told SunSport: “He gets angry for sure.

    “There have been a couple of half-times when he thinks we’re not doing enough, playing safe and not pushing enough to win the game and then he lets us hear it.
    “He goes really, really mad. But we always play better afterwards so it works!
    Postecoglou dubbed ‘nicest man in football’ for response to fan’s question
    “It is not fun but it is part of the job, you cannot always just give love to players sometimes you have to be hard on them like parents do. It is not scary because it helps us in the end.”
    There is no denying it has worked. Only Manchester City and Liverpool have won more than Spurs’ 16 points from losing positions this season.
    Postecoglou has players and supporters on side like no manager since Mauricio Pochettino in North London, there are no longer protests or toxic chants if Spurs are struggling late on in a game – only hope.
    His arrival has sparked a huge change of mood and culture at the club after the brutal messages and frustrating football from the likes of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
    Kulusevski was called upon to sell the club to new signing and fellow Swede Lucas Bergvall a few weeks ago, and spoke in glowing terms about the club.
    Bergvall, who also spoke to Postecoglou, ended up choosing Spurs over Barcelona.
    He said: “I met him and it was nice to see him because I know him a bit. I told him the truth, the same as what I tell everyone. How good this club is and the plans for the future.
    “I didn’t want to tell him which club to join because that is hard, but it is the first time I’ve played with a Swedish player.”
    Kulusevski has been a key player for Spurs this season
    Kulusevski also acknowledges that the sales pitch may well have been different a year ago.
    The winger added: “Yes, it has changed at the club, absolutely.
    “It has been a fantastic change and now it feels like the club is going on the right path and we are doing the right things.
    “We are more focused on better things. It is a different mentality, we have to improve.
    “It is not about we have to win otherwise it’s a catastrophe, it is about improving every day and if things are going to happen they will happen. It is more about the positive things.”
    It certainly helps that Postecoglou plays the style of football that Kulusevski has loved since he was a boy.
    The self-confessed football “nerd” who grew up playing Fifa all night and playing front-foot football during the day, loves the philosophy.
    And having considered a coaching career of his own, it is one he would stick to.
    The former Juventus man took time to help out with Tottenham’s Under-14s this week and paid a surprise visit to the club’s Spurred 2 Coach programme this week.
    The Foundation initiative helps young adults without coaching qualifications take the first steps towards earning FA badges and Kulusevski surprised last weeks participants by taking part in a training session with them in the shadow of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
    He said: “I love teaching kids as they make you so happy. I would like to train kids in the future.
    “I played like that as a child.
    “When I grew up, we kept the ball on the floor and wanted to have possession, we didn’t want to be afraid of anybody.
    READ MORE SUN STORIES
    “That is exactly the same things as we are doing now. For a player to play this style is a blessing. It is brave and the most important in life is to not care about mistakes.
    “As a coach I would not care about mistakes. I would just want my players to feel free to express their talent as every man and woman has talent.”

    Erling Haaland announces new venture as Man City star plugs ice cream with his name and face on it

    ERLING HAALAND is making moves in the frozen food trade as he announces a new brand of ice-cream with his face on it. The Manchester City star has proven he is not just a goalscoring sensation but also an ice-cream connoisseur.

    The 21st-century Viking has treated fans to a tantalising trailer in which he lounges with his legs wide open in front and seductively chomps into an ice cream.
    The packaging features the blond icon flaunting his winning pose beside his signature and a picture of the ice cream.
    City fans will be gutted to see that the stunning new product, released on February 19, will only be available in Norway.
    The 23-year-old’s new venture has certainly sent fans wild, with one commenting on X: “We will be buying.”

    But the sight of their golden boy cramming his face with sugar sent some people into a worried frenzy.
    One said: “Don’t take too much sugar bro It’s not good for footballers.”

    A frozen mixture of sugar and cream certainly seems a long way off the Norwegian’s usual diet of heart, liver and water that has first passed through a complex filtration device.

    The promotion of an ice-cream does seem a little out of line with this philosophy.
    But he has previously revealed he is partial to junk food and allows himself one enormous kebab pizza a year.
    And it is not the first time Haaland has flirted with the frozen foods sector.
    During City’s treble celebrations the star blew fans away when he began serving them slushies and treats from inside a food van.
    The health issue was not the only thing raising eyebrows amongst fans.
    Haaland’s bold choice of sitting position also set some X, formerly Twitter, users off, with one urging him to ‘close your legs.’

    Hitzlsperger, 41, made over 100 Premier League appearances in his career, as well as earning 52 caps for Germany.
    The midfielder turned out for clubs such as Lazio, Everton and West Ham.
    Hammers fans fondly remember him despite only playing 13 games for the club in the 2010/11 season.
    Since retiring, the German has worked in football as the CEO of Stuttgart but has also ventured into business outside of football.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    Hitzlsperger has moved into the food industry and is the owner of one of the oldest French restaurants in London.
    He started working with Soho venue L’Escargot after the pandemic after being approached by the management.
    He told IronCast: “That started ten years ago, I went in and I loved it there.
    “Sometimes, you go into restaurants or places in general and think there is something about this that I really enjoy.

    “So I kept going back and still loved it. I got to know the management and when Covid hit, people reached out to me and asked if I wanted to get involved with the restaurant.
    “I had just left Stuttgart and I thought ‘why not’.
    Hitzlsperger: Why I decided to reveal I’m gay
    “I learned a lot at Stuttgart in my role as the CEO and other different roles and that was the next step up.
    “In this industry, I love food, I love being in London, it was already a big brand so I was tempted to just do it to see how good I can be in this industry.
    “It is really hard work, but I love it and really enjoy.
    “There are some West Ham fans that have been there and I love it when it is buzzing.
    “I hate it when it is quiet and I am looking to avoid that as best as I can.”
    L’Escargot is described as a “Soho institution” and won the Travellers Choice award in 2023.
    It has been visited by celebrities such as broadcaster Rylan Clark and snooker star Stephen Hendry.
    It was also a favourite of Princess Diana who was one of its most famous regulars.
    Hammers school
    Hitzlsperger has also done a course at Boston’s Havard Business School and was joined by another West Ham hero, Mark Noble.
    He added: “Nobes [Mark Noble] and I went to Boston Harvard Business School, we didn’t know and only realised when I saw a list of people attending.
    “We had four days together and did all those case studies.
    “It was just inspirational, the group of people and the way they talk about former athletes and what they do after their career.
    “This had a huge impact on me. I thought why not own parts of a company so then I am responsible and there are no excuses anymore.
    “I just want to run a business where it is down to me whether it is successful.”
    Hitzlsperger became one of the highest-profile footballers to come out as gay in 2014.
    Since then, he has insisted that a lot has happened to help people as clubs take it more “seriously”.
    He said: “In the last ten years so much has happened that often people say to me nothing has happened since I have come out.
    “No other few players have come out, I think that is correct.
    “But in terms of the fans and awareness, clubs take it so seriously now when they talk about diversity and inclusion.
    “That is down mainly to the fan clubs who have had a really huge voice.”
    “For me it was an interesting journey, I felt it was the right to speak up and say something publicly.

    Sir Keir Starmer branded ‘pie snatcher’ after warning football fans to watch what they eat

    But senior Tories seized on the comments telling him to keep his hands off their half-time pies as he made the comments ahead of his team Arsenal beating Liverpool 3-1 yesterday.
    It comes as Labour donor and Forest Green Rovers chairman Dale Vince calls on environment issues to be part of the new football regulator’s remit.
    Sir Keir told Sky Sports: “I think what can happen with football is, if you get a campaign and it sort of surfs the wave, it can really take off.
    “If you look at some of the work that was maybe done in relation to racism. That really caught the imagination of fans.

    “And now it is really rare actually in the stands to hear much racism.
    “I’m not saying it’s gone away completely.
    “If the same can happen on sustainability, capture the imagination, little things that fans can do, whether its travelling, eating, whatever it is. I think this is good.”
    But  Cabinet Office Minister Esther McVey, said:  “I know Labour is being bankrolled by vegan and net zero extremist Dale Vince.
    Most read in Football
    “But I am not sure Keir Starmer’s desire to turn every club into Forest Green Rovers puts him in touch with most football supporters.
    The so-called Minister for Common Sense added: “If Keir thinks telling football fans to give up their half-time meat pies is a vote winner I think he is badly mistaken.”
    Eighty-five of the country’s top clubs signed up to the Green Football Weekend with plant-based burgers and pies offering a veggie match day experience for fans.
    Figures show that if football fans ate one veggie meal a day it would save the equivalent carbon of taking 5.5 million cars off the road.
    Tory MP Jonathan Gullis said:  “What fresh hell is this from Sir Keir?!
    “His idea to spend £28 billion extra every year on green projects with no plan of how to pay for them is madness.  Now he’s acting as a pie snatcher!
    “Sir Keir may love scoffing tofu but footy fans don’t need pious lectures from an holier-than-thou vegetarian about match day nosh. Keep your hands off our meat pies Sir Keir.”
    A Labour source insisted: “Football legends from Peter Crouch to Jamie Carragher back this important campaign. Football fans will surely be devastated to learn that the Tory Party do not.” More

    Football’s weirdest pre-match meals including Jamie Vardy’s omelette, Gareth Bale’s baked beans and Paul Scholes

    PREMIER LEAGUE legends have served up fireworks on the pitch – and choose some real bangers when it comes to odd pre-match meals.You might think Jamie Vardy going from skittles and Vodka to Red Bulls, double espresso and omelette would take some beating…

    And you’d be right!
    But Gareth Bale, Paul Scholes, Pascal Gross and Andy Carroll are juicy contenders for top honours in our list of munching madness.
    It also appears many of football’s stylists believe a good old-fashioned British favourite gets them blazing out of the blocks early doors.
    To amend a childhood proverb, their motto seems to be: “Baked beans are good for your art – the more you eat the better you start.”

    JAMIE VARDY
    The late-developing Leicester striker, 37, who went on to win 26 England caps, is undoubtedly the one to beat at the top of the dining table.
    And it’s hard to say it better than Vardy himself when describing how his pre-match routine graduated from Skittles, Vodka and a penchant for drinking Port from a Lucozade bottle.
    He said: “Three Red Bulls, a double espresso and a cheese and ham omelette is what makes me run around like a nut-job on a match day.”

    And if you are not quite convinced that combination would meet the approval of a  sports nutritionist, then how about Vardy’s meticulous timetable for consuming it all on match-day….
    The 2016 Prem winner explained: “I wake up in the morning and then [have a] Red Bull. 
    “Literally I get out of bed, get the kids up and downstairs, get their breakfast sorted and then I’m straight into the Red Bull.
    “After that we meet at the stadium for pre-match and while I’m getting changed I’ll have a coffee – it’s better than taking ProPlus. 
    “Red Bull, coffee and then when we get over to the pre-match lounge, I’ll have my cheese and ham omelette with another can of Red Bull.”
    GARETH BALE
    The Wales legend raised eyebrows at Tottenham with his eating habits ahead of kick-off.
    The now-retired winger is one of the few players Real Madrid stars have compared favourably to Cristiano Ronaldo for pure athleticism.
    So perhaps his choice of “cuisine” is not to be scoffed at.
    Former Spurs team-mate Jermaine Jenas revealed the golf-crazy star’s ample eating.
    Jenas told TNT Sports: “The only meal I remember looking at and thinking why and how was Gareth Bale.
    “He used to have like five slices of toast and a mountain of baked beans.”
    PAUL SCHOLES
    The Manchester United legend added a strange twist to traditional nosh.
    The ex-England midfielder, now a pundit, went from box to box with his all-round skills.
    But before kick-off he’d go from chocs to chocs in a curious mix of sweet and savoury food.
    Appearing on the Back of the Net podcast, Scholes told presenter Gabby Logan: “Beans on toast, always, try to have it all the time. 
    “I always had a Turkish Delight as well, the night before the game.
    “It was a bit of a superstition, weird that. Two Turkish Delights and a cup of tea, but I’d always buy a packet of three and leave one.”
    ANDY CARROLL
    The giant frontman, 35, has been accused of having no nutritional nous at Newcastle – when he tucked into Yorkshire puddings and gravy before matches.
    The ex-Liverpool and England ace who is now with Amiens, admitted horrifying a Toon fans’ favourite with his heavyweight pre-loading.

    Carroll said: “This one time Kevin Nolan rang me up and said, ‘Will you pick me up cos my car’s not working… where are you?’ 
    “I said I’m just having a Sunday roast and he went mental, screamed at me on the phone, ‘Are you joking?’ and I told him I’d done that forever.”
    PASCAL GROSS
    Brighton’s ex-Tottenham full-back Pascal Gross is one of those players who in one sense eats quite normally… until you discover how he puts all the ingredients together.

    The Man Utd and England icon is chewing over his managerial future after being sacked by Birmingham.
    So perhaps he might return to the high-carb comfort food he used to down before playing matches.
