Other aspects of Tyson Fury’s training

It does not end there for the WBC Heavyweight Champion. He considers recovery an integral part of his workout. Fury is regularly getting massages to recover. While his diet has been very strict ever since he started his weight loss journey.

Gone are the days where the Englishman can eat what he wants and drink whatever he craves. He has his own nutritionists when in camp, and his wife maintains the discipline when he is out of camp.

Fury has also said that eating the right things helps keep a healthy state of mind. Other than these, you will also notice that Fury always trains for his fights in foreign countries.

For his fight against Deontay Wilder, he was training in Big Bear, California. While he started his weight loss journey with a camp in Marbella. This is usually to get away from the routine life back home.
