    hey there ..

    i just want to know how important are bodyweight workouts ( push up + pull up + sit up + squat .. ETC )
    for boxing ?

    i mean i always hear about running or weight training .. but what about calisthenics ?

    1- how would they benefit a boxer ?
    2- are they important ?
    3- are they expendeble ? ( like doing only running and weight training )

    appreciate your help

    Depends how you want to train. They're good for conditioning, but by no means a requirement.
