Nikita Tszyu reveals secret diet

By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing

Former Australian amateur champion Nikita Tszyu (3-0, 2 KOs), the son of Australian boxing legend Kostya Tszyu and brother of WBO #1 154-pounder Tim Tszyu, has revealed a secret food that he expects will help his performance in the ring.

Tszyu says he will soon be eating bull testicles as part of his preparation for his bout against Darkon Dryden on October 8.

Tszyu told foxsports.com.au that he feels great after he began eating raw beef liver.

“I had this real burst of energy. An electric feeling that went through me…so every new camp now I’m going to add something else. For the next one, it’s going to be bull testicles. Then after that, something like spleen.

“It might seem a little crazy but I’ve never felt better. I’m having sustained amounts of energy. Really vivid dreams, too. There’s never a moment where I’m drained. I’m never hungry, either.”

  • You just gave out a secret so Why not go after sheep balls like Chevy Chase did in Funny Farm?

  • We are living in the dark ages when a young fighter, son of a legend, reveals his “secret” diet consists of chomping on some animal ball. Truly the age of absurdity.

  • “Tszyu says he will soon be eating bull testicles…”
    – Bull testicles today, bull sh%t soon to follow…..

  • Sounds exotic, extreme, bizarre….but it’s not really. Liver and mountain oysters are organ meats. Organ meats are loaded with vitamins, essential amino acids, proteins, etc… at least he’s not having us believe that his secret is drinking his own urine.

  • I think the saying goes “I believe therefore I am”. Pardon the pun but I do think this is a load of bull…but if he believes it it may help him!

  • Nothing wrong, until he gets a disease as a result of eating raw meat. Some people, especially in Asia eat a lot of raw sea food, but raw meat is not advisable, because of diseases like Anthrax, Mad cow disease and some others, but good luck to Nikita in his no longer secret diet

  • Fought amateur n pro for awhile n animal balls was never in my diet to have more energy. A lot of Boxing is mental n now he believes that eating testicles gives him an edge.

  • Canelo was able to work his influence and get the acceptable Clenbuterol levels risen. So after the Cow balls he can take the “Mexican beef” and really get that supreme edge he’s gonna need before he can take on 154lbs killers this part of the globe.

  • The “Game Changers” documentary crossed my mind when I saw the headline here, so I was expecting that secret diet to be plant-based. Bull testicles sound disgusting, but not as bad as the potion Marquez used to take I guess.
