How do boxers keep healthy while they are in training?

Answer

To get in shape run and do plenty of cardio, your lungs are what is going to help you win a fight. Try and increase your distance a mile every couple of weeks. Also eat healthy and avoid sodas and stuff, they weaken your bones and dehydrate you.

Keep up with the heavy bag to work on form and cardio. Practice combinations and if you can strap weights to your wrist and keep your hands up, this way they will be use to staying up even when tired.

Sparing is by far the most important thing I can lastly tell you, without real fighting experience all your work will just keep you alive longer, but to be ready and hold your own work with a partner and keep fighting with those who will. Good luck mate! Also stay away from anything like fast food or energy drinks.
