    just want to take my hat off to any fighters from the top to the bottom of the scale as ive agreed to fight on a charity but seerious white collar boxing show, while being a boxing fanatic and working in boxing ive never found the time to train serious but the last 3 weeks ive trained my ass off daily and can only take my hat off to the lads who do it all the time,
    just looking for a bit of advice incase i get nervous on fight night as ive done a lot of doorwork the past few years so that part wont be the problem i just think being in front of 1500 people might make me lose focus, thanks in advance :TU:

    Find something else to do on the day prior to fight time or have a kip mate, try not to not waste nervous energy.

    Good luck mate.

    Did one last year , great crak it was made me appreciate boxing a lot more , just dont lose the head when you get a smack , keep calm and bury the **** your fighting into next year if you get a chance because he sure as hell will be looking to do the same to you then make sure you have a pint with the unfortunate **** afterwards.

    Have 1- or 2 max combinations planted in your head. Work on them a simple 1-2 or 2-hook then move and work on them in the gym and in your head between now and then. In a complete novice fight that should be enough to keep catching someone and enough to win.
