Tyson Fury stunned the world by stopping Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on Saturday night to complete one of the most admirable transformations in the history of sport.
Fury weighed in over a stone heavier than last time for the huge rematch, but considering he weighed over 400lbs just two years ago what's a stone here or there?
The Gypsy King reportedly underwent a 'dirty' version of the Keto diet, focusing on a low-carb, high-fat eating schedule resulting in an eventual total weight loss of eight stone (112lbs) on his road to recovery.
“Ben put me on a ketogenic diet, which meant mostly zero carbohydrates," Fury said with regard to his trainer Ben Davison.

Fury's nutritionist torched fat by having the boxer consume over 5,000 calories a day. His meals included; rye bread, avocado and lean bacon.
Davidson also introduced Fury to a new drink to him keep hydrated during his gruelling training camps and also help on his protein intake after his sessions.
