‘Proving people wrong’
Hamilton regularly uses his platform to advocate veganism, even choosing to feed his pet dog Roscoe a plant-based diet.
In an interview with Vanity Fair last year, the celeb revealed a friend he met in New York “opened his eyes to the realities of food production”.
Despite being told by doctors he would struggle to get enough protein without consuming animal products, Hamilton said his energy levels “smoothed out” when making the switch.
“I mean, I’ve won five world titles since then,” he added
“I’ve been more consistent than I ever was in the past. So it just takes proving people wrong. And that’s what I did.”
*Neat Burger’s first US outlet is located at 25 Cleveland Pl, New York, NY 10012, United States
