Tyson Fury is in awful shape

That's true to some extent, it's a lot easier for them to go back to their natural weight, they're used to training hard and they have the time and the money to afford good nutrition and training.

On the other hand it's extremely unprofessional for an elite professional athlete to blow up like that and it can hurt your career easily if you develop this habit. For on thing it increases the chance of getting injured since they're carrying way too much extra fat that their body is not used to, it's hard for the joints before you get back to normal. Also, the body simply ages faster if you eat unhealthy, especially if you drink booze. Not to mention that they'll be spending time that could have been spent say on improving technique on losing weight which is basically just an unnecessary waste of time and resources.

Boxers can maybe get away with this because they only fight twice a year and they get to pick the dates of their fights but if you're say a football player or a formula one driver then you're ****ed if you have these habits in the off-season and eat like a pig just because you're not in some training camp.

 

Wow, that is very shocking and sad.

Looks as if he is flirty with obesity in that picture.

 

I agree with you 10000000000%

Just saying they're professional boxers, they don't have to worry about the same things us normal humans do.

Also as we saw in Brandon Rios vs Tim Bradley......Rios went from about "around 200" (his words) to 147 in like 10 weeks. The night of the fight he blew back up to 174 or something? And was easily KO'd. You don't want to put your body at a weight for more than a few months that you'll have trouble losing, or you'll never be back to normal.

 

Side effect of steroids usage

 

Fury was never an athlete, through his entire professional life. He was impersonating one at times, but like any roles you 'act' it becomes stressful and exhausting after a while.

The real Tyson Fury is (by his own admission) and I am quoting him here a 'lazy SOB who enjoys nothing more than stuffing his face with a shopping bag full of junk food snacks while watching a good movie or two".

 

As someone else has mentioned, he's a professional athlete and can get himself back in shape in a couple months....if he wants to. Hell, I'm 230 and I am certain that I could safely get down to 200(good, healthy weight for me) in a month or so, with some hard work and discipline. It's probably all just some game he's playing...I hope.

 

Damn, I was expecting him to blow up in weight while inactive as per usual but I didn't expect him to be that bad just yet. If you compare how he looked at 270lbs against Joey Abell and how he looks now the difference is huge, he must be over 300lbs.

Wait until after Christmas and New Years, he'll probably be pushing 350lbs. I doubt we'll see him back early next year or next year at all.

 

Of course he can get back in shape. Anyone can, nevermind a professional athlete who's done it before.
But there's no excuse for anyone to allow themselves to get so fat so quickly and be doing so at such a young age.
It's a bad habit and will likely lead to long-term obesity and then diabetes, heart condition etc.
I guess food is a comfort to him.

 

Okay. He was just a fat dude, who lucked into beating the best heavyweight of the past 10 years. Gotcha.

 

Yeah. Even for normal humans losing weight isn't that hard if you're dedicated to it and have time, especially when you're younger than 35.

If you have a lot of money and time you can easily lose weight, all you need to do is get on a right diet and train, if you don't have a job to worry about you can sleep enough to get proper rest and regeneration and you're fresh to train 6 times a week easily.

You have those Hollywood actors losing fat or gaining muscles for movie roles easily because they have nutritionists and experts around them as well as the time and motivation to do it.

 

Fury is addicted to PEDs.

 

No but he clearly used them to get into shape very quickly after ballooning in weight between fights.

 

I feel a coronary coming on just looking at that pic

 

Comfort eater.
