    Thats not what he said during all his post depression stuff. He needs to train everyday to keep the demons away.
    And on his social media stuff it showed he was still running often.

    He probably has a naturally very low metabolic rate. Could be hormonal issue too as when he was on deca w/Peter he was lean and shredded.

    Yes during 2018-2020 when he made his comeback, but over covid that wasn't the case though. That's why he was so out of shape for WIlder 3.

    People say "it's because he didn't have long to train", but there's prep for a fight and then there's staying in shape in general.

    He obviously lost muscle mass and gained fat mass during covid.

    He lugs around all that fat because he can get away with it. There's nobody out there that fights at a fast pace anyway and Fury with his size is good at controlling the pace to a slow one where stamina doesn't become a problem .

    Copious amounts of boar meat. Stuff will fatten a person up nicely.

    You're 100% correct. Calories are energy for the body. If your body doesn't burn them off, it stores them as fat. Mike Phelps had a 12k calorie a day diet, he was similar in height to Fury. Huge difference in physique. He burned all that off by training like crazy. Fury seems to have figured out how he can have the best of both worlds, eat and drink whatever he wants and get in good enough shape to go 12 rounds.

    To protect his kidneys, ribs and liver

    Free bodyguard

    Built to fight

    His love handles also hold massive adrenal glands for when he needs to get back up

    That sucks if thats true. I thought he was still training a lot.
    At this rate he will balloon back up in weight again and become addicted to alcohol and drugs again.

    Why do you care so much. He can do what he wants. He looked about 280 in the run up to the Whyte fight and then shed the fat and came in the 260s. He's aware what shape he can perform well in and as long as he can perform well i don't care what shape he's in

    It is probably from being obese from a very young age. Same with guys who get fat between their belly and crotch.
