Anthony Joshuas diet consists of 5,000 calories a day as the heavyweight champion prepares for his showdown with Wladimir Klitschko.

The boxers nutritionist Mark Ellison explained Joshua trains like a middleweight and eats like a champion.

Joshua is preparing for the biggest fight of his career when he takes on Klitschko at Wembley on April 29 and needs some serious fuel.

Ellison, a performance nutritionist for GB Boxing and Joshua, revealed that the heavyweight is unlike anyone he has ever worked with.

Theres no other heavyweights like him that are as lean as him, as athletic as him, that can cope with the training he does, Ellison told Betway.

Hes unbelievably committed, he focuses on the details and he works his absolute nuts off.

The challenge for me is making sure he eats enough.

We ease a lot in with liquids. These are extra calories that we have to hide in his diet so that it is palatable.

Joshuas breakfast includes two slices of wholemeal toast, five eggs, fruit and Greek yogurt.

The 27-year-olds lunch consists of salad, two baked potatoes and a big portion of tuna or salmon.

Lunch 912 calories Salmon, 2 potatoes, salad

Dinner 2,386 calories Chicken, white rice, half an avocado, hummus, vegetables

Joshua will close out his day with chicken, white rice, pitta bread or mashed potatoes, vegetables and hummus for dinner with the calorie count topping 5,000 on the days where he trains up to eighthours.

All the food, a sh**-ton of calories according to Ellison, is so Joshua can keep himself fueled during a grueling training camp.

Joshua requires six to eight grams of carbohydrates, two grams of protein and one gram of fat for every kilo of his 113kg body weight.

The Olympian is undefeated in his professional career with 18 knockouts from 18 fights and Ellison explained how liquids serve a crucial purpose for Joshua.

When youre training four hours a day, twice a day, your opportunities to eat are massively reduced, he said.

If we can use liquids to get in some proteins and carbohydrates quickly, then that serves a great purpose.

It helps us recover quickly, doesnt impact on appetite as much, and lets us have a proper meal an hour later.

Without those liquids, wed be screwed.
