Tyson Fury has made some sacrifices while preparing for his rematch against Deontay Wilder, including giving up an extreme Diet Coke habit.

In an interview with ESPN's Max Kellerman, the British heavyweight admitted he was drinking up to 30 Diet Cokes per day before he began training in Las Vegas.

"I love me Diet Cokes, and I was having, I don't know, 20, 30 in a day sometimes," Fury said.

He added: "It is a little ridiculous, but you know, whatever. So I cut them out. I took them away from myself. I took everything that I held dear or everything that I like, I took it out of me life. I've been away in Las Vegas for 10 weeks by the time the fight comes around. I've not had me wife here, me kids, I've not had no drinks, I've not had nothing. I've not put a single object in my mouth that shouldn't have been there. The only thing I put in is what the nutritionist wrote on a piece of paper."

Fury and Wilder will face each other Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Their first match in December 2018 ended in a controversial split-decision draw.
