As shown in the video, Edwards had an array of different foods and drinks, for example, overnight oats, protein pancakes and rice with chicken.

The Brit was also seen laying down on the floor as part of his recovery routine.

Ahead of the bout, Edwards warned Covington after the American spoke about the Brit’s late father, he said: “That man is as good as dead tomorrow. Make sure you keep everything you said about my dad. Tomorrow, we can settle it.”

Previously speaking about his father’s passing, Edwards said: “It was probably like 2am. I was in my room. Mum was in her room. We hear the phone ringing. I heard her crying, and I knew from then something bad, you know.

“Eventually, she came into my room and just told me this, your dad’s just got killed in London. It was something to do with money. I don't know what exactly. It was some mad s***, but I knew that it could happen.”

After being booed by a section of the crowd, Covington said: “Las Vegas, Nevada, are you ready for an American revolution? This fight tomorrow night is for all the men and women in law enforcement.

“All our troops past and present. And the whole entire MAGA movement. You can delay us, but you cannot deny us. Trump is taking back the White House and I’m taking back the undisputed tomorrow night. This one’s for America, let’s go!”
