Here’s 2 chosen from the Boxing Masterclass Q & A board – both great questions, and I’m positive they will be of benefit to your training. It’s also great practise to target the upper and lower body, switching between the 2 will make your opponent more wary as they won’t be sure where you’re going to strike. Another good way to get in close (especially against an opponent who likes to step in with a jab cross) is to sit down in your stance as they come towards you and fire off a left, right body hook. He hooks up high, so the opponent thinks he’s going for a headshot and raise their guard – then follows through with shots to the body.

In today’s post, the Warrior Punch team takes a look at a technique used by two of boxing’s best thinkers to help you develop an iron mindset of your own. Briggs began boxing at age 17, a decision he described on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast as life-changing. Though he continued to struggle with depression, boxing gave Briggs the tools to build mental toughness, as well as a platform to showcase it. If you’ve followed Briggs on Instagram @cannon_briggs or heard a single second of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast, you’ll likely have heard his affirmative phrase of choice: Briggs developed this affirmation – the Briggsian affirmation, if you will – as a tool to stay positive, pump himself up, and stay focused in dark times.

Another big fight is upon us GGG is known for starting off slow and methodically, cutting the ring off and getting in close to deliver devastating body shots and hooks. I just don’t think Brook has got the power to hurt GGG, he might have a bit of success with counters, but I’m afraid they’ll only be one winner here.

The film looks back over his boxing career – starting with a street fight aged 11, progressing through junior and amateur ranks, sparring with Roy Jones Jnr in America – returning to the UK to win the Lonsdale British Middleweight title – and defeating Steve Foster and Dingaan Thobela for the WBFo World Middleweight titles. Corney gives a frank and honest assessment from his 30-years boxing – the training, opponents and the business world of boxing during the 1990’s.
