What should you do the day before a boxing match?

Question

I've been exercising and plan to keep exercising until the day before.

I think I should take it easy the day before the actual match but how easy should I go?

Nothing at all?

A little running?

A little running with some strength training?

or what?

Answer 1

I don't know if you are a amateur or pro but I will give you an Idea of what my guys do. My amateurs rest the day before a fight, they rest thats it, no training or running just rest, period. We spar that entire week leading up to the pre fight day. Your body needs to recuperate from the hard work I assume you did in preparation for this bout. So rest.

My pro fighters stop sparring the week prior to fight week, they slow down the week of the fight. They do 10 rounds of work, half bag & half mitt work on Monday. 8 on Tuesday again half & half. 6 on Wednesday again half & half rest & weigh inn on Thursday & fight Friday or Saturday. But we taper off that week so that their bodies can begin to recuperate. You will need all of your energy during the fight not before & not after.

To answer your question "NOTHING AT ALL"

Good luck on your fight.

Answer 2

stay relaxed, loosen up but don't do any real training, shadow boxing is good, think about your game plan, what combos are you gonna throw, are you gonna chase or are you gonna counter, just stay focused, don't exert yourself
