Published 05/08/2021, 7:59 AM EDT

Billy Joe Saunders, the top-tier boxing champion, knows how to balance fame and privacy. Hence, he has managed to hide away his personal life from all the media attention. Aged 31, Saunders, who has had 30 fights as a pro-pugilist, is still unbeaten. While he has the prowess, skills, and in-born talent to help him, one cannot deny that diet plays a pivotal role in every athlete’s career. Thus, Saunders is no exception.

The two-division world champion appears to be fond of food. However, Saunders has sacrificed a lot to boast of his fighting physique. ‘Superb’ Saunders underwent intense training and followed a strict diet to unleash his championship stature.

But, at times, he has not followed protocol. Prior to his fight against Martin Murray in 2020, the WBO titlist revealed that he gorged on cakes. ‘Superb’ claimed it would make the collision more equal.

But in a fight camp for Canelo Alvarez, Saunders has apparently followed a proper diet. The 168 lbs elite is donning a perfect shape. ‘Superb’, who had posted his last meal before beginning the drill, doesn’t seem to have deviated from his regime as he did in his previous fight.
