Many see all the glitz and glamor of world championship fights online on Netflix and so on but the reality for professional boxers is quite different.
They often live a spartan, stoic, isolated life away from society and their loved ones in training camps for months on end.
When they are starting out as a prospects they often go to dangerous places and countries to get some experience of beating unknown but dangerous opponents in South American countries and so on.
In fact, this is not a bad way and actually, it is probably the best way.
Some boxers when you look at, take Audley Harrison of the UK for instance.
He won the Olympics and had things too easy and essentially tried to go from the amateurs to the professional ranks and bombed, that was the end of him.
Why The Lonely Life Of A Professional Fighter Is The Best Way
What young fighters may not realize is living the solitary life in training is simply the best and only way for getting the maximum best results in training camps in fights.
Look at all the greats.
They all did it to some degree, Ali, Hagler, Robinson, they all went to different mountains and places at times.
Floyd Mayweather as well would train in the middle of the night when most people are asleep, while they slept he was working and making money.
It is a mental advantage to put yourself into the mindset, as well, as getting rid of distractions.
Don’t let people try to be friends with you either who are fakes, test everything and everyone and just look after yourself, don’t believe all the hype on social media either.
Do due diligence and don’t take advice off anyone, listen to yourself and if something is not right, turn it down.
There are plenty of events happening in America in boxing in many different places, there are always options.
