Tyson Fury Weight Loss - How Did the Professional Boxer Shed an Incredible Nine Stone in Less Than Two Years

The two-time heavyweight world champion Tyson Luke Ferry officially managed to lose a massive nine stone in just two years. The news is pretty shocking yet motivating to the fans of the boxer. 

Back in 2016, the heavyweight athlete vacated out of 'WBA,' 'WBO,' and 'IBO' titles due to some personal reasons of mental health, weight gain, alcoholism, and even drug abuse. 

In two years of Tyson's absence, the guy ballooned up to more than 29 STONE in weight, which is like 406 pounds. Not anymore as Fury came back with a resounding bang, as he dominated the recent fight with Deontay Wilder in a technical knockout in Round 7 of a 12 round fight on Feb 24, 2020. 

How did the buff guy lose all that sack giving him the chance of an epic come back? Let's find out the complete details of his weight loss.

Who Trained Tyson Fury?

The former boxer needed a severe training session to get rid of the massive fat; he garnered from his inactivity. One of the close friend Billy Joe Saunders introduced Fury to trainer Ben Davison. The pair hit it off so well that Davison even shifted to his client's house in Morecambe.

Trainer Ben worked pretty hard to make our world champion shed his seven stone weight. They spent every waking hour with each other and trained rigorously mentally and physically. Tyson's brother and father were also a great source of inspiration for him. 

Fury's Strict Diet

The previous world champion was already on the brink of obesity. Previously his diet included gorging on all kinds of greasy snacks, fast food, and alcohol. It was said that in a typical night out, Tyson would drink at least 18 pints of alcohol while stopping at a local takeaway to end the day.
