TYSON FURY’S nutritionist has revealed how he got the Gypsy King into tremendous shape for Saturday night’s clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

But this week he has looked like a changed man as he eyes the undisputed heavyweight crown.
And nutritionist Greg Marriott has now confirmed the work to get Fury into the best possible condition began SIX MONTHS ago.
He also predicted the WBC champion will come in at around 18 stone 10 pounds.
This would be nearly 16 pounds lighter than he was for the Ngannou fight and his lowest since he fought Otto Wallin back in September 2019.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Marriott said: “I said ‘We need to get some fat off you’. So we went out to Jeddah in November, did a fat loss camp for six weeks, and then got into serious training.
“He’ll tell you himself he’s never going to be body beautiful, it’s not about that.
“The body composition that has changed with him still being 18 stone 10 – I think people think he’s going to be 17’13 – never.
“He comes to my room every night and he went ‘Greg, I haven’t felt like this since Wilder 2’.
