HEALTH ISSUES
He is almost 200cm tall and weighs over 100kg, so he has had to start paying attention to the fat levels in his liver. His fat levels increased between 2010 and 2013 while he was living in Uberlandia, Brazil, and doctors have told him that if the levels rise too much he could experience issues with hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis or even require a liver transplant. "Dinner was so early [when he was living in Uberlandia] that I was hungry later at night. So we would go out to eat pizzas and sandwiches, but then the training sessions became tougher and tougher."
