    Im considering a possible return to the ring after a considerable lay off.

    I boxed from the age 14-18 as an amatuer, in total i had 23 junior/senior fights. My last few fights i was weighing in at around 72kgs.

    Shortly after i turned 18, i took my first full time job and was working 10hour days most days. I decided that i couldnt keep up all my training to fight competitivly anymore and stopped fighting.

    Im 22 now, and during my lay off i have taken up Strongman/Weight Lifting, and now weigh just over 100kgs. Im fairly lean as i keep most of the fat off by hitting the road 2/3 times a week.

    The trouble is, at 6ft i know that 100kgs is too heavy. Plus, i havent seen many scenarios in boxing where being bulking and strong pays off in the ring.

    Has anyone been in this situation before? I would like to get down to 80kgs (ish) but as i have mostly put on muscle, i think its going to be hard to get that low.

    Any tips?

    Drop back down to 175 if you don't want to look down and see you ass. Trust me.......been there, done that.:-(

    Whats the best way to go about it? Dropping to 175 is the target, but as i have mostly put on lean muscle, wont this be hard to shift?

    Mate, don't try and deny it. I am not a drug tester, just quit the steds and you'll lose mass.

    This could be the right choice for losing some mass. Sorry I can't be much more help.

    You burn your reflexes with cutting 20 kilos of muscle.

    You can cut the kilos off but not by starving. If you dont lift anymore your muscles will get smaller. Basically if he does only cardio and boxing work then he should lose a lot of muscle without hurting himself.
