Do roadwork every morning. This will help improve your cardio and build up your gas tank so that you don't run low on energy during your training/sparring.
try to lose thirty or forty pounds in a month so you can fight soon in a low weight class. and next year maybe the sudden weight loss might screw your diet up so you ballon into a fat pig like a lot of boxers.
That's basically the same as me, height wise exactly, i tend to drift in weights as im not training anymore. It's a good height for your weight, and i can only imagine you'll lose a few more pounds unless your already skin and bone, so that is positive. Advice wise, do plenty of roadwork, running, jogging etc. Don't get bogged down by the boring stats regarding intervals, sprint times etc, not yet anyway. regularly doing any decent run that works up a sweat and gets you panting and your calves burning will make sure you can last the course of a sparring session at least. :good
Make sure you get some wraps if you aren't already using them Forget everything you think you know about punching and follow your coaches' instructions to the letter. Soon it'll all be automatic Concentrate on footwork as much as (if not more than) what you do with your hands Training will be ****ing tough but its rewarding when eventually some noobs come along and you realise you're way fitter than them, and it hits you how far you have come on
Train with your mouthpiece in even when not sparring. You don't want to have a habit of having your mouth open during sparring or a fight, that's how jaws get broken.
Everything is easier with footowork, and if you don't learn it now it will be harder to learn it in 6 months after you've already picked up a bunch of bad habits. So even though they aren't exciting drills where you get to hit something hard and make a big noise, spend the time on the footwork drills your trainer has you do. If you've got extra time and you want to put in a few more rounds, doing a some extra rounds of footwork will help you alot more than a couple extra rounds of heavy bag. My first coach barely spent any time on footwork and I'm only just starting to get the hang of it now (2 years later).
Don't run every morning, but 2-3 times a week running 2-3 miles will be a good way of building up some stamina (preferably not on the same days as your boxing training). If you can get to a bag in your own time, practice footwork and combinations. If you can't, then practice the same things in shadow boxing. Always be enthusiastic at training, always be on time and never give up. A good attitude and work ethic in the gym is probably the fastest route to success
Very good, and underrated advice. Also forces you to breathe in strictly through your nose, which you should always be doing in boxing.
