Tyson Fury has offered fans an insight into his nutrition as the heavyweight boxer continues his preparations for his undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King has earned praise from his fans in recent weeks for his physical condition ahead of his fight against the Ukrainian on May 18.
Fury shared a photo of his lunch on social media, revealing a basic meal of chicken, rice and salad.
While the food may seem unappetizing to fans, it has been part of a daily diet plan overseen by her nutritionist Greg Marriott.

The Gypsy King had been criticized for his physical condition when he fought Francis Ngannou last year.
The diet has aimed to provide the Gypsy King with enough fuel for his training sessions while controlling his weight.
Marriott revealed that Fury eats up to six meals a day according to his diet plan, while he had previously eaten one or two meals a day.
The meals reportedly include Fury having two slices of sourdough toast, avocado butter spread with fresh garlic Tabasco and black pepper for breakfast, as well as fresh plum tomatoes and lean ground beef sausages.
Oatmeal and protein with fresh nuts and chia seeds, and omelettes have also been included as breakfasts.
A dinner under the diet plan included a 400-gram steak with Dijon mustard, as well as roasted vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus and beets.
Marriott has shared several meals eaten by Fury on social media, with fans also praising the look of the food produced by the nutritionist.
He claimed that while Fury is in “incredible” shape now, the undefeated heavyweight will lose more weight ahead of his fight with Usyk.
“I can promise you that you will see a different Tyson Fury,” Marriott told Men’s Health.
Fury has been looking to lose weight to ensure he is in the best condition to face Usyk on May 18.
Fury’s nutritionist Greg Marriott has shared several meals he has produced for Fury.
‘Everything I tell Tyson to do, he just does it. He trusts me 100%.
“So for Tyson there really aren’t any challenges because he knows he’s going to be in top condition.” He’s been there, done that and got the shirts.
“I think for this fight, he just thought, ‘I just want to look great again,’ and with that it also feels great to be able to go the rounds.
“He’s happier knowing he’s already in incredible shape.” She no longer has to think about losing weight. We have already done it. I have already lost weight.
“You’re going to see another 50% on top of where it is now.”
Fury had received criticism for his conditioning after he overcame his fight with Francis Ngannou last year, winning a split decision after being knocked down.
Speaking exclusively to Mail Sport last year, Fury said: “I would love to have a good body. But I have no hope of having a good body.
‘I’m fat now, I was fat when I was a baby and I’ll be fat on my deathbed. We are all fat. Hughie is fat, Shane is fat, my dad is fat and even my mom is fat. I hope she’s not watching this. But we are a fat family.
Fury appeared to have a more toned physique as he provided an update after his initial fight with Usyk was canceled in February.
The heavyweight world will look to elect a unified champion for the first time in 24 years on May 18, with a £100m purse on the line.
Usyk will bring the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles, while Fury holds the WBC heavyweight crown, and there will be a new ‘undisputed’ belt up for grabs.
They will meet in the ring as part of Riyadh’s season in Saudi Arabia to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
Fury has been biting himself a bit since the fight was postponed from its original February 17 date after he suffered a nasty cut above his eye during training.
He has 34 wins (24 by knockout) and one draw on his record.
Meanwhile, Usyk has a perfect record of 21 wins and no losses with 14 knockouts.
