Possible return to the ring?

Get yourself back into a good gym and they'll give you all the advice it sounds like you need. Your age isn't against you, but you are a big lad.

 

Why would you want to lose 20kg of hard earned muscle? I really don't understand why people don't want to fight at whatever weight they're at currently. I'd understand if you're fat, but from what you said you're not....

 

Because being a 6'0 superheavy is not fun - unless you have the spead and other gifts of someone like Tyson. I don't understand when people cut beyond the weight they're at when they're in fighting shape, but when the muscle was piled on specifically through training for mass gain, its not condusive to good results as a boxer. I don't think you can name many successful amateur boxers with a powerlifter/strongman type physique.

 

Your pretty big i must say, yes get back to the gym and you can get **** done easy. The only key factor is heart to stay dedicated, all the rest comes on its own. Goodluck :good

 

virus agree with you but it is something you get caught up with. For the last 2 years i was boxing sporadically and with a shoulder injury not being able to jab id all but given up

at the time i was 11st5 . however i was just boxing, bodyweight and running... this is what your meant to do for boxing right atsch

however i then started to really learn and i became such a better athlete outside the boxing world when i was unable to box! through knowledgeable people on here, sites like defrancos training and hate to admit it but reading alot more about MMA training techniques (cant stand the "sport" itself) .. i became a much better all round athlete

i also now weigh about 12st8 and much fitter stronger ect than i ever was as the skinny kid i was.

however i have recently felt me shoulder better and i am back 3-4 times a week boxing at a different gym, its really good however the first thing they asked me was how much do you weigh. Then i was looking at the weight class below being 11st 12lb or something like that!

And low and behold i was trying to loose weight again! Thankfully there was a sensible coach there who has been telling me and my mate, eat well, train hard and smart, start sparring more then we will worry about weight classes..... even though he was telling me something i already knew iv taken it on board!

 

I honestly dislike MMA completely but i have to give their training is in my opinion the best training since they mix everything up ..

 

That is what their sport demands so they need to be a jack of all trades however that tends to lean towards being a master of non

 

Exactly, im a specialist not a generalist

 

The demands of the two training are so different. It would be a strong decision to change training routines. It seems like 100kgs is too heavy. Dropping would put a limit to the size of the opponent. It's fairly easy to say based on the style of training and your natural weight at 18 you would lose a lot of weight anyway.

 

I'm in the same boat more or less mate. Used to box, not as much as you, but then a few factors made me not be able to commit to it as I wanted, so I took up some strongman, now weightlifting. was 69kg, now I'm about 87kg. Although I could probably stand to lose a few kg, 2-3.
If I was wanting to get back boxing, I'd just start training that full time, and add in 1-2 wl/strength sessions a week.
EASE into it would be my main thing, don't worry about your gym strength dropping, it might a little, but it will get stable at some point and you will be able to progress again. You won't go under 90% unless you lose a LOT of weight.
If you go down to fight at 91kg, you can walk around at 93-94 with a regular diet, so you don't really have to lose a dramatic amount.
When you stop lifting heavy as often, ESPECIALLY on the strongman events, you will drop some weight and size.

 

considering you have had 23 fights you shouldnt need to come on here asking simpleton stuff

 

I'm 20lbs heavier then my old fighting weight... I'm miles stronger and prefer the dimensions

 

I agree.

 

it sounds to me your just wanting to be like you used to remember back when you was amateur ,,your happy with the muscle but not the weight,,,try turning professional it's a different why of fighting ,,if your lean like you say the circuit training will speed up your punching & give you the stamina for the later rounds
its to hard to lose weight when there is no body fat ,,simply work with what you have ,,be careful not to starve yourself to lose the weight then you will become weak & frustrated
your 22years boxing is as easy or hard as you make it :nut
