A nutritionist has revealed the secret ingredient that Fury adds to his food before the fight with Usyk

The World Boxing Council (WBC) belt holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) eats garlic to speed up the healing of an injury he sustained in early February during a sparring session. The nutritionist of the Gypsy King, as the Briton is known, expressed confidence that this will have a positive impact on the boxer's training.

George Lockhart himself told about this in an interview with Betway, the Daily Mail tabloid website reports. According to the nutritionist, eating foods rich in trace elements, such as spinach, carrots and onions, as well as red meat, should also help speed up Fury's recovery after the dissection.

"Food is the key to recovery from such injuries. Garlic will help kill bacteria and germs at the incision site. High protein content is very helpful as the body needs to recover and rebuild. Red meat is the main source of protein. I'm not one of those nutritionists who says food will solve everything, but it makes a big difference in terms of recovery from these kinds of injuries, but the most important thing is time," Lockhart said.

Fury will fight Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) on May 18. The fight was originally scheduled for February 17, but the Gypsy King suffered a cut during a sparring session two weeks before the show. The Manchester native apologized for his injury, and a video of the incident was posted online.

The Briton also made a statement about the end of his career. The main reasons why Fury will not be able to refuse to enter the ring against the Ukrainian again were named.

When asked about the fake nature of the injury, Usyk criticized the Gypsy King. In addition, the fans reacted angrily to the situation.

The incident was also commented on by Croatian boxer Agron Smakic (20-2, 18 KOs), who dealt Fury the ill-fated blow. But ex-champion Carl Froch called the British fighter's injury suspicious.

Bookmakers reacted unexpectedly to the postponement of the Usyk-Fury fight, changing one of the quotes on its outcome. Two conditions were also revealed that the Ukrainian demanded to fulfill when he agreed to postpone his return to the ring on February 17. In addition, the media announced Tyson and Oleksandr's fees for the show.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk shared Oleksandr Usyk's plans after he fights Tyson Fury. In addition, it became known when the Briton will return to training.

Also, one of those wishing to replace Tyson in the fight has been identified. And the World Boxing Council (WBC) is preparing a revolutionary decision on the fight. In his turn, former welterweight champion Steve Cunningham gave an unexpected reason why Usyk will beat Fury.
