Tyson Fury's former nutritionist has given fans an insight into what the Gypsy King's meals are like.
As arguably one of the biggest names in boxing, Fury has got to keep a close eye on his diet to make sure he is fighting fit.
Having worked with Fury for four years from 2020 to 2024, nutritionist George Lockhart knows all about the Briton's eating habits - including a particular fondness for Vindaloos.
Speaking to Action Network, Lockhart said: "Tyson loves spicy food.

"It’s funny when I worked with Joseph Parker on his nutrition, and he was working with Tyson in camp, I would give him the same food as I would give Tyson and a lot of it was spicy foods.
"He hates spicy food. Joseph would say he likes it but if you give it to him, he will be sweating so much.
"It’s hilarious because he would just eat it and never complain but you could see him sweating so badly. Joseph really struggled but people have different palates.
"Tyson can seriously handle spicy food, and I didn’t know it was a thing, but he can handle it, and a lot of people love it in England.
"Tyson enjoyed spicy curries, and I made Vindaloo a couple of times. It tended to be mixed up though and a lot of different curries were made for him during camp.

"Tyson enjoyed them all but never said there was a specific curry that was his favourite but he loved it with a kick.
"Tyson would ask for wraps a lot. He would want breakfast burritos, with eggs, potatoes, and avocados but would put it in a tortilla and was much happier eating it that way but it wasn’t a problem.
"He didn’t have any other requests for food. It depends on the day but he would also have meat in the burritos so it depends on whether he had a tough day sparring, but steak would be a popular one.

"Ground beef and chicken were other meats he would have too. Also, for breakfast, Tyson would enjoy eating black pudding which is high in iron as well as eggs."
Fury's physique has often been the topic of conversation as he prepares for his fights over the year, sometimes looking out of shape but always producing the goods.
Lockhart added: "Tyson would eat 3,500 calories a day and I wouldn’t go any lower for him, so his weight didn’t drop.
"Whether it’s an intense day or a light day, he'll wake up and be almost the exact same weight, no matter what.

"When I started working with him, I thought I would be cooking for a freaking army, but that's not the case but I had to make sure he was eating enough to make sure Tyson stayed at a good, healthy weight.
"The guy is 6ft 9ins and we have basic functions we have to keep but Joseph Parker had a 2,000-calorie dinner the other night and will eat on average 7,000 calories per day and he has no problem whatsoever eating.
"With Tyson, he's not the biggest fan of vegetables, so I had to make sure the flavours were great so he would eat them.
"When the camp progresses, veg has got to go up to make sure they're getting all their micronutrients."
