You don't become a British boxing champion without a punishing training routine - and Tyrone Nurse is certainly not afraid of putting in the hard yards.
Combined with a strict diet which includes flaxseeds and scrambled egg whites, he mixes physical work with boxing training and key - but tough - sparring sessions in Doncaster and Manchester.
He trains under Chris Aston at Linthwaite - using Northern Fitness as a base - and will aim to drop to the 10st limit (63.5kg) for his light-welterweight title defence against Hull's Tommy Coyle at Leeds Arena on July 30.
