      Inside Jake Paul’s diet for Anderson Silva bout including eggs on toast for breakfast and chicken, fish and steak dinner

      by

      JAKE PAUL has fuelled himself up on a high protein and low carb diet for his tasty clash with Anderson Silva. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns over the weekend in Arizona against Silva in an eight-round catchweight encounter. 

      As has been the case since last summer, Paul has stationed himself in his newly-adopted home of Puerto Rico. 
      And the last 12 weeks has since him tirelessly eat, sleep, train repeat in a bid to get himself in top shape for the toughest fight of his 5-0 career. 
      Paul, 25, usually spars at night time, to replicate a fight, so finds himself waking up at midday, where he has his first meal.
      He told SunSport: “Breakfast is just like an omelette, with one piece of toast.

      “And then sometimes I’ll skip lunch, I’m not really a big lunch person and I think that sort of helps me drop weight. 
      “I’ll usually have like a snack, maybe some fruit and a snack usually like a high-fibre protein bar.” 
      All of Paul’s professional bouts have come around the 190lb mark, but his return will be at a career-low of 187lb. 
      As a result, the American has had to watch what he eats at the dinner table – but rest assured he is not draining himself at the all-new weight.

      Paul said: “Dinner is like chicken kenowa, steak kenowa, fish, rice, not a lot of carbs. So it’s been a really tough diet coming down to 187lb. 
      “But we’re wanting to go it the right way, where I can wake up on the morning of the weigh in and have pasta if I want to. 
      “I weigh like 195 right now, so a lot of fighters could just jump in the sauna but that kills you in the fight, you’ll have nothing left in the fight. 
      “So we cut weight the right way, ahead of time so I don’t have to sit in the sauna or the steam room and I’ll actually be in that weight.” 
      Paul’s return marks the first time he has faced an opponent with recognised boxing experience. 
      Silva, 47, a legend of the UFC, has four wins and only one loss in the ring, last year beating ex-middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 36.

      Paul has endured an agonosing ten-month hiatius from the ring, following a series of cancelled bouts this year. 
      Firstly, Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out of his celebrity grudge match for a second time amid US visa issue.
      His replacement Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, then saw himself withdrawn following a weight row. 
      But Paul reckons the time off will all be worth it as a career-high payday awaits. 
      He said: Hopefully it does well, I think it will the numbers are all showing that. So yeah, this could definitely be my highest payday. 
      “I haven’t really focussed on that, even saying that is one of the first times I’ve even thought about it.

      “Just because of how much the fight means and how focussed I am and how big the challenge is at hand. 
      “The payday is just the cherry on top for the opportunity at hand.”

      And for the biggest fight in his 5-0 career, Paul is cutting no corners in camp, whether that be in the gym or recovery.
      The American, based in sunny Puerto Rico, has given SunSport an exclusive look into his training regime, running down a day in the life.
      MORNING
      Paul conducts his sparring sessions at night, to get his body accustomed to fighting at that time.
      So he likes to lay in in until midday after a good night’s sleep, before preparing for the rest of the day.
      He said: “Usually I wake up around 1pm. We train a lot of times at night, we spar at night to sort of mimic the fight. 
      “I wake up and will do some sort of workout if I’m not sparring at night and that can be mitts, shadow boxing.

      “Then after that we usually do abs, neck and a jog. Or weight training.” 
      Paul fills up on a high-protein breakfast of eggs on toast and often swerves lunch.
      He revealed: “Breakfast is just like an omelette, with one piece of toast. 
      “And then sometimes I’ll skip lunch, I’m not really a big lunch person and I think that sort of helps me drop weight.”

      AFTERNOON
      After a morning session, Paul focus on recovery and makes use of all the state-of-the-art equipment at his disposal.
      He has a theralight bed that he will lay in, used to boost energy levels.
      Another technique Paul favours is swapping from his ice bath and hot tub, which lessens muscle fatigue, aiding recovery for injuries.
      Revealing his routine, he said: “I have a stretch therapist, I go into the red light bed, I have a theralight bed that I use.

      “Then I’ll come home, drink some protein right into the ice bath, then I go ice tub, hot tub, ice bath.
      “That usually recharges me right away.”
      As established, Paul snubs a big lunch meal and instead enjoys something light.
      He said: “I’ll usually have like a snack, maybe some fruit and a snack usually like a high-fibre protein bar.”

      EVENING
      If Paul is not sparring at night, he goes back to his roots with content creating.
      He has a new podcast, called BS With Jake Paul, as well as launching micro-betting app Betr, giving him a focus outside of boxing.
      Paul said: “Pretty much the rest of the day I’m either doing interviews like these or working on Betr or my show BS with Jake Paul, which is my new endeavour. 
      “Then there will be some sort of recovery at night.”

      Paul is coming down from 190lb to 187lb for a catchweight clash with Silva, 47, so is watching what he eats for dinner.
      He said: “Dinner is like chicken kenowa, steak kenowa, fish, rice, not a lot of carbs. So it’s been a really tough diet coming down to 187lb. 
      “But we’re wanting to go it the right way, where I can wake up on the morning of the weigh in and have pasta if I want to.

      by

      TYSON FURY gorged on a 1,500 calorie mega breakfast as he prepares for his trilogy clash with Derek Chisora. The pair are set to go head-to-head for a third time in December and the Gypsy King is making sure he’s in top shape.

      Along with getting back into the gym, the boxer is packing his meals full of calories as he looks to put on the muscle needed to down his fellow Brit.
      And it already seems to be paying off, with Fury showing off his abs on social media this week.
      The heavyweight has now revealed the calorie-packed breakfasts he is consuming to keep up his diet.
      An Instagram story shows images of his early morning meal – and the plates are filled with delicious treats.

      The main thing present is a juicy steak around 400g which makes up about 1084 calories.
      This is combined with the more traditional breakfast choice of scrambled eggs, which adds 444 calories.
      Fury also has a medium slice of ciabatta on the side which comes with 50 calories.
      The 34-year-old was washing it all down with a cup of coffee and vitamin tablets.

      Health advice suggests that the average person should eat 400 calories for breakfast and a male should consume 2,500 in a day.
      But with Fury attempting to build muscle, he has license to eat more ahead of his bout.
      News about his breakfast may well be the last update fans get before his trilogy fight, as Fury announced that he was signing off social media until the fight on December 3.
      He first faced Chisora 11 years ago at Wembley Arena when he beat Del Boy by unanimous decision.
      When they went at it again in 2014, Fury forced Chisora into a corner retirement after a bruising 10 rounds. More

      by

      PREMIER League scoring sensation Erling Haaland has taken the game by storm by feasting on a diet of hearts and liver.The Man City striker, who bagged his 20th goal of the season at the weekend, lifts the lid on his Hannibal Lecter-style routine in a documentary.
      In documentary Haaland: The Big Decision, the scoring sensation reveals his diet of hearts and liver
      This is just one quirk of the former Borussia Dortmund man’s huge, 6,000 calories-a-day diet
      The Norwegian series also reveals that he only drinks water through a complicated filter system
      The Norwegian series also reveals he only drinks water through a complicated filter system and tries to look at sunshine as soon as he wakes.
      Showing off huge chunks of heart and liver from his butcher, he says:
      “You (other people) don’t eat this, but I am concerned with taking care of my body.
      “I think eating quality food that is as local as possible is the most important.

      “People say meat is bad for you but which? The meat you get at McDonald’s?
      “Or the local cow eating grass right over there? I eat the heart and the liver.”
      Heart and liver are superfoods rich in vitamin B, iron, phosphorus and copper and magnesium.
      In Haaland: The Big Decision filmed ahead of his move from Borussia Dortmund to City, the £375,000-a-week ace adds: “The first thing I do in the morning is to get some sunlight in my eyes — it is good for circadian rhythm.

      Haaland, 22, has previously confessed a love for doner kebab pizza.

      Alfie, who also played for City, said his son was inspired to eat healthily by seeing how it helped superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
      He said: “He was told a story by (ex-United player) Patrice Evra about a lunch he had with Ronaldo and Cristiano had fish, nothing else. Erling now tries to do the same.”
