Tyson Fury shared four photos taken in chronological order to show how his body went from obesity to a strong build over the last couple of years.
He shared the photos just ahead of his winning match against Deontay Wilder.
Tyson Fury, the new WBC heavyweight champion, secured the position by defeating former champion Deontay Wilder in a seventh-round win in Las Vegas.
The champion looked to be more agile than ever as he made an unparalleled entry back to the sport.
After securing the victory, Tyson showed off his progress on social media, paying tribute to his fans and social media followers.
The vigorous fight in Las Vegas made it possible for Tyson to hold an official title after five years. The last time he had a title was in 2015 when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko.
However, after the victory against the Ukrainian, Tyson got depression that caused him to gain weight rapidly, becoming as heavy as 400lbs.
In the months after defeating Klitschko and ending his decade long championship, the British heavyweight king went into a spiral of drugs, drinking and suicidal thoughts.
He was eventually forced to relinquish his titles after he failed a drug test.
But Tyson proved to be better than depression when he conquered the condition. He pledged to become heavyweight champion again and won the battle against Wilder in the high profile rematch.
Before Tyson started training for his first match against Wilder aka the Bronze Bomber, he weighed a hefty 378lbs.
However, he hired the services of coach Ben Davison and a dedicated nutritionist, who made it possible for him to get rid of the fat and be in the form to win the match.
Before his first match against Wilder for winning the WBC title in December 2018, Tyson lost an impressive 140lbs.
Before the second battle against the Bronze Bomber, Fury’s camp manager Timothy Allcock commented on his efforts to win the title back, saying: “We definitely had to rope in the food.
“Tyson never really stuck to the diet plan we gave him last time, he was always nipping out and eating fast food outside the camp – and all that has changed now.”
All the efforts worked out quite well as Tyson weighed just under 275lbs at the time of the rematch and won against Wilder with flying colors.
Tyson’s inspirational journey against depression and into victory has made a worldwide impact, getting him invitations from Pope Francis to visit the Vatican and from the POTUS to visited the White House.
