What do boxers eat during training camp?

I imagine Khan has a decent diet as he doesn't bloat up between fights like Brook.

It depends who the boxer is....

I common fallacy is that modern fighters all eat high quality high protein. low carb diet's.

The fact something is there does not mean that all apply it.

If you're Andy Ruiz then you're stuffing your fat pie hole with twinkies and donuts.

Of course a good diet is important. Like with anything if you put crap in you will only get crap out.

It's not just physical function it's required to keep the brain at it's sharpest considering the importance of the mental aspect of the sport.

 

Depends who you are.

Cheeseburgers, Ruiz and Miller.
Humble pie, Joshua.
Bag of IV and bigmac, Floyd.
Mexican beef with side order of PEDs, Canelo.
Pint of Guinness and Charlie, Fury

 

Wild boar @miniq

 

They tend to live off the land as part of their camps, so you're talking about foods such as grey squirrel, pigeon, chestnuts, berries and perhaps a bit of roadkill they might pick up during their road runs.

 

Fury also dines on PED injected boar meat.

 

Yep, Canelo and Fury are in the same league.

 

Its easy to eat clean like that when you have a personal chef feeding you your meals

 

Chicken, rice, broccoli, pasta is the standard

 

Tonnes of Mexican beef

 

Whatever Chris Algieri cooks them.

 

You can tell Khan is naturally "small" by how thin his arms and wrists are. The brachialis muscles are very thin and overall he lacks thickness.

In comparison, Kell Brook is naturally the bigger guy and walks around 20lbs heavier too.

That's why it was always pathetic the way he used to beg for a Khan payday knowing he's be facing a naturally smaller opponent when in reality he should have moved up to 154lbs years ago.

 

I remember one fight when Hasim Rahman showed up fat and out of shape his trainer said he was eating spaghetti and drinking Grape soda for almost every meal
