Mayweather has been doing a lot of travel in recent times but next month returns to the ring in August.

Against John Gotti III in Mexico city. Their first fight ending in a brawl last year. An interesting match up, well, event.

How is Mayweather training these days though? Let’s take a look. How does Floyd Mayweather train at the moment? Let’s take a look.

A Glimpse into Mayweather’s Current Training

Mayweather’s current training regimen combines elements of boxing, strength training, and cardio. Here’s a breakdown of what he’s been using in recent years:

  1. Boxing Drills: Shadowboxing, heavy bag work, speed bag drills, pad work and sparring remain integral to Mayweather’s training. These drills help him maintain his reflexes, footwork, and punching technique.
  2. Strength Training: Mayweather incorporates resistance training to build and maintain muscle mass. He focuses on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, which work multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
  3. Cardio: Maintaining cardiovascular fitness is crucial for any athlete, especially one in their 40s. Mayweather engages in activities like running, jumping rope still in his 40s incredibly, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to keep his heart and lungs in top shape.
  4. Recovery: Adequate recovery is essential for an aging athlete. Mayweather prioritizes sleep, nutrition, and active recovery techniques like stretching and massage to optimize his body’s ability to repair and rebuild.

The YouTube Factor: Transparency and Motivation

Mayweather often documents his training sessions on YouTube over the years, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at his preparation.

This transparency not only motivates his audience but also holds him accountable to his training goals.

Mayweather still likes to go for runs whether in the middle of the night, or the day in Las Vegas.

Mental Fortitude: The Unseen Advantage

While physical training is essential, Mayweather emphasizes the importance of mental fortitude.

His unwavering confidence and focus are key factors contributing to his continued success in the ring.

It is all in the mind for good old Floyd, even for Chalmers in recent years his mind is the main part of his training to conduct it for as long as he still does.

Age is Just a Number

Floyd Mayweather’s training at 47 years old demonstrates that age is just a number when it comes to dedication and adaptability.

By improving his training routine and prioritizing his overall well-being, Mayweather continues to defy expectations and prove that he’s still a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world.

His upcoming rematch against John Gotti III will be a testament to his enduring legacy and unwavering commitment to the sport.

At his age to still hit the pads like Mayweather does, and train like he does, many young fighters could not come up with him.

DAZN are showing his fight with Gotti III live on August 24th.
