Triliegi said via ESPN : “He had a great breakfast, really healthy. Then for lunch he had pizza.
“We pivoted from cutting [weight] to making sure he gets a surplus of calories everyday.
“We are only able to put a certain amount of weight on him, which is healthy weight.
“We are putting about six pounds of lean muscle on him.
“I am just making sure he is really consuming extra calories, a lot of lean protein, still getting carbohydrates and fats in.
“But we are focusing on lean protein to let him gain some muscle mass, so he’s closer to what Anthony will be weighing.”
Paul has won 12 of his 13 fights, with his only defeat coming to in February 2023.

Triliegi added: “It’s always a bonus when you are working with a fighter who is used to cutting weight, then they don’t have to cut.
“They will always be in a better mood. They know that when they wake up they will have a nice, big breakfast. Then an amazing lunch.
“Since we’re not cutting, I am able to make him more of the items that he likes.
“I can use more heavy cream, and more butter in things. I am able to cook a regular style that he likes rather than having to restrict certain things.”
