Ruben Tabares: I have added fitness, power and strength to Khan’s aresenal – Boxing News
Ruben Tabares, the newly hired strength and conditioning coach of Amir Khan, recently shed some light over his client’s current physical condition, revealing that he feels like he has contributed much in revamping Khan’s arsenal.
Ruben is trying his level best to ensure Khan gains lean muscle mass along with strength to knockout the American unbeaten Danny Garcia.
Amir and Ruben have been seen lately working together on different strategies, which are different from those followed previously by Khan. During a media interaction,
Ruben said that he thinks he has improved Khan’s physique, adding that he has boosted the former world champion’s fitness, strength and power and has brought it to an altogether new level. Tabares stated, “I like to think that I have made a difference to Khan’s arsenal in terms of fitness, strength, and power. Even Freddie says that he is hitting and punching with great power and harder than he ever has.”
When asked as to what is the secret behind the wrestling grappling session that Khan undergoes after his eight-round sparring session, Tabares stated, “We have a bit of a wrestling grappling session after Khan completes his 8-round sparring. It is just to strengthen his legs to prepare him for a scenario that he might face in the ring against Garcia.”
Being the conditioning coach of David Haye for three years, Tabares has the experience and knowledge to aid Khan in becoming a powerhouse, equivalent to Danny.
Ruben further remarked that from the very first day of his arrival he has altered Khan’s diet and that he has restrained Khan from undergoing things like losing weight with water diet.
Tabares further revealed that this would be the first time that Khan will make weight in a scenario where he is taking requisite diets and at the same time is losing weight as well. Let’s hope that all what Ruben is doing, Amir uses those revamped methodologies appropriately against Danny as there is no room for error since Garcia himself is on an undefeated streak and above all is a lethal brawler.
