    "Working with Ruben has been brilliant," Khan told Sky Sports. "The first thing he made me do was change my toothpaste. He's made me change to a non-fluoride toothpaste because apparently fluoride is really dangerous, contains rat poison or something and can even kill you.


    "I'm one of those guys who listens to what my trainers tell me - even if it sounds a little bit strange sometimes - and I do it anyway. I do ask why, though, and that's the example he gave me. Who knows if that's the truth!"
    Khan has severed ties with his former conditioning coach Alex Ariza and hired Tabares after being impressed by his work with David Haye.
    "He's an amazing strength and conditioning coach, one of the best I've had. He's smart, clever, the way he puts me through my paces. I feel like I'm dying but it's good to be put in your discomfort zone.
    "It's also good because he's worked with David Haye before and it's good when he compares me with David, saying 'David can do this,' etc, because I love a challenge and so because David did 10 reps, I'll do 20. That's the kind of guy I am.




    "It's good that he's worked with a world-class fighter before. He's good not only with the strength and conditioning but also with the diet part. He's got me on organic stuff, and having massages. He's an athlete himself, so he's not going to be telling me to have organic this, organic that but sitting eating chocolate and crisps in front of me. He practices what he preaches and he's eating what I eat. In a way, we live together, we eat together and we eat the same food."








    What the pair clean their teeth with post-repast has not been disclosed.

    Exactly, Im sick of Khans nonsense honestly, he fires and hires trainers like theres no tomorrow, perhaps he should stop worrying about his bench press and his tooth paste, and concentrate on his awful defense and balance.

    Genuinely wouldn't surprise me if Go Getta is up here in a minute blaming this loss on Khan's toothpaste

    I just looked up this Ruben Tabares guy and couldn't find much other than his hippie rantings on his twitter page talking about 'detoxing', fluoride in toothpaste and other ******ed ****.
    Does he have any qualifications at all? To be honest he sounds like a complete spastic.

    Fluoride is the active ingredient in rat poison and it is in most toothpastes, bottled water and tap water.
