The Body Of A Champion Street Boxer


The Body Of A Champion Street Boxer

Majority of street boxing requires superb physical ability, but even board games need you to have a
healthy body. The human mind functions much better when uninterrupted by body functions
gone haywire. An unfit body can give you the proverbial “headache.”
Hence, great boxers know well the importance of a body fit for fighting.

Different sports need different body forms and conditionings. The muscle group to be used
varies with the kind of sport you are engaged in. Thus, a fit body in boxing does not always mean
a lean, pure-muscle-no-fat body built. Many times, it also depends on the weight division you
belong to in boxing for the street.

Your bulky muscle mass may be perfect for wrestling, but you will be in real trouble
if you use the same in a boxing. Your fat proportions may be perfect for Sumo wrestling, but
imagine what it will do for you in gymnastics or boxing. Your lean, well defined, and all-muscle
figure may help you in boxing, but not in weightlifting.

So what’s the perfect body for a champion boxer?

Earlier on, we have discussed that to most people, an “fighter” guy is one who has a trim
and muscular body. This may be so, but for a more apt definition, the top fightingc body we’re
talking about is one that fits the athlete into the kind of sport he is playing in. To be an great fighter, you don’t have to be particularly muscular or slim. It really depends on what game you
are playing.

It will be funny to see a guy in serious weight training to build bulky muscles because he
is a chess or tennis player. It is pointless to aim to run fast because you are a billiards player.

Thus, you must know your boxing well and know the body mechanics involved in it so you can
define the fit body you need, and design your workout accordingly.
