Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder: Heavyweight’s six-meals-a-day diet revealed including curry and chocolate

Tyson Fury is fuelling his training to fight Deontay Wilder with six meals per day, including a daily curry.

Fury has changed his trainer in the build-up to the heavyweight world title rematch on 22 February, swapping Ben Davison for SugarHill Steward, while also placing greater emphasis on his diet.

Chef George Lockhart is tasked with helping the Briton recover from his training and takes four trips to the supermarket per day to restock his fridge.

“Each day I try to give Tyson a diverse group of food,” Lockhart told Sky Sports. “He has a different type of meat with every meal. From what I’ve heard in other camps he ate chicken and rice. Now we make crazy meals.

“He’s had the same meal just twice in the entire camp – a jambalaya that I made. He eats six times per day and, apart from that, hasn’t had the same meal twice.

“I would never make him something that he doesn’t like because I can find something similar in texture and taste which would fit their palate. If he doesn’t like something, he wouldn’t eat it. There should be no reason to even want to cheat. People think healthy food is not tasty. But he’s not hungry, he’s not craving anything because he has a diverse diet. He has dark chocolate, honey, sweets and spices, salts – his palate gets everything that it wants.”

Fury is hoping the changes he has made will make him more dangerous in the rematch with the potential to beat Wilder by stoppage.

“Deontay knows he was rocked three or four times in the last fight and I didn’t have the gas to finish him. This time I can turn that screwdriver until he is gone,” Fury said. “You are going to sleep in two rounds. I keep having the same dream about round two. I am playing poker and I get dealt the number two card. He is getting knocked out in round two, 100 per cent.

“What is going to happen is that I am going to get what I won last time. I am going to get that green belt, I am also going to get the Ring Magazine, and I am also going to keep my lineal championship, too. And if he wants to rematch again, no problem. You beat a man once, you beat him again, you beat him three times in a row.”

Breakfast

Fury starts his day with a fruit bowl and Greek yoghurt, including lots of berries due to the antioxidants, which help recovery.

Lunch

Lockhart knocks up salmon every day to include Omega-3 in Fury’s diet, to reduce inflammation.

Dinner

Curry is on the menu every day, with turmeric a key ingredient due to its anti-inflammatory impact. While Fury only eats red meat every other day due to the prolonged period of time taken to break down.
