How Boxer Badou Jack’s Nutritionists Prep His Meals | The Assist | GQ Sports

Most UFC champions are about 36 or 37-years-old, so if you want to win, you need longevity, and if you want longevity, you need perfect nutrition. Surprisingly, most boxers don't have nutritionists, but that's not the case for world champion boxer Badou Jack, whose nutritionists, George Lockhart and James Lockwood, have designed a strict nutritional regimen for him to follow in the weeks before a fight.
With GQ Sports, the real action is off the field. Get an all-access pass to the world's coolest, most stylish athletes with original series like My Essentials, Actually Me, My First Million, Game Points & More. Watch a GQ editor try his hand at pro sports in Above Average Joe. And get an all-access look into how athletes shop, train, travel, and showcase their love of style, menswear, and sneakers.
