White collar fight july 10th training

[joeyboy]

Hi everyone, I boxed ameteur as a teenager with a record of 21-7, now Im doing white collar boxing in the UK, So far my white collar record is 1-1, I lost my first fight and won my second last Sunday. My next fight is on July 10th so I will keep a log of all my training on here. Im going on holiday this weekend so there will be an early break, not ideal but I will try to make it up when I get back !

Any advice on what I should be doing or should not be doing is welcome.

Tuesday 1st June

5am 6 miles roadwork

7pm Boxing gym: 3 x 2mins shadow
5 x 2mins heavy bag
4 mins skipping
2 mins situps
2 mins push ups

non stop straight punches on the bag
30 seconds, 30 seconds, 20 seconds, 20 seconds, 10 seconds, 10 seconds.


Wednesday 2nd June

40 minutes crosstrainer (level 16 random)
12 mins bike (level 12-20 random)

I like the random setting on cardio machines as it keeps the heart rate going up and down, also when doing roadwork I speed up and slow down between lamp posts, bins etc.

hey good luck in ur fights
whats the difference between white collar/pro/amateur???

[joeyboy]

White collar is unlicenced boxing basically, although it is starting to get regulated more now. There are some area titles to be won and stuff like that. There are some good ex ameteurs doing it so there are some pretty good bouts, and some really novice ones too. Im never going to win ameteur titles and turn pro now so its the best option to keep fit and box. Also you get paid a little bit for it.

Wednesday 3rd June

7pm

Boxing gym: 4 x 2 mins shadow
5 x 2 mins heavy bag
2 x 2 mins sparring
3 x 2 mins grid sprints
7 mins skipping

Sparring went quite well this evening, I did a round with my trainer who is an ex pro heavyweight and a round with my mate whos a pretty good light heavyweight. My hand speed is feeling nice and sharp at the moment but Im still eating a few too many jabs. Need to work on my head movement !

Im a light middle/middleweight btw. Im about 162lbs at the moment.

how do you get into white collar boxing mate?

[joeyboy]

Check the internet for white collar clubs in your area, I know the trainer at my club because we boxed at the same amateur club so thats how I got into it. Some people just box for themselves and not for a club but you need to contact a club to get matched on their show. The best thing to do would be to find the clubs in your area and go along and train, then decide which one is best.
