Our sport science practitioners have over 25 years of experience from grass-roots to elite performance, and we are proud to have worked with hundreds of professional and amateur boxers, including World, International, Commonwealth, European, British and regional champions.

We have developed our unique insights into the preparation of boxers through rigorous scientific exploration of the key factors that underpin boxing performance. Our physical performance tests enable us to identify the characteristics required for successful performance and analyse these in detail on an individual level. This scientific approach helps us to plan and deliver training programmes with precision and unlock an athlete’s potential.

The Train Like a Champion (TLAC) series is ‘The Blueprint To Elite Performance’. Our training methods are developed using scientific, evidence-based practice and optimised for boxing and have evolved over thousands of hours of work with hundreds of boxers.

Why Is Nutrition Important?

It is well known that boxing is a weight category sport, and athletes aim to achieve the lowest body mass possible in order to ‘be big at the weight’ to gain an advantage over their opponents.

To gain this advantage, you want to have optimal body composition. That means reduced body fat and maintenance of muscle mass, this is most likely to be achieved with a structured nutrition plan.

Most nutrition plans require an athlete to be in a calorie deficit, this means training performance and recovery rates may be impaired. Our world-class nutrition plan will manage the timing and type of foods to help you fuel for training and refuel for optimal recovery.

WHAT’S IN THE NUTRITION HANDBOOK?

Make the weight easier and healthier with our detailed nutrition guide. We offer guides to suit different training days to help you feel energised in your sessions, fuel your recovery, and lose weight without negatively affecting your performance.

  • Detailed and informative nutrition guide to help you fuel your training for optimal performance.

We’ve also worked with England Boxing by providing testing, training and education for athletes preparing for international tournaments.

We’ve tested over 500 boxers and have a database that identifies the physical characteristics of successful boxing performance.

Here’s an insight into the work we’ve done with some of our professional champions.

JORDAN GILL | FORMER EUROPEAN AND COMMONWEALTH FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION

Jordan ‘The Thrill’ Gill has been on the program since 2015 and is one of the most dedicated athletes we’ve trained. When starting the program had a vision of achieving world-level strength, speed and fitness for when he’s in championship fights.

The talented featherweight has improved greatly as an athlete, he’s able to lift 2.4 times his body mass on deadlifts and improved lower body power by 25%, as well as being accustomed to high-intensity running.

Strength and conditioning has been pivotal to Jordan’s development, as he progressed to European, Commonwealth and WBA International titles. He is now in hot pursuit of world honours.

LERRONE RICHARDS | IBO SUPER-MIDDELWEIGHT CHAMPION

Since joining the program in 2020, Lerrone has shown remarkable progress in his strength, explosiveness and fitness.

From the early days on the program, struggling to press half of his body weight and coming back from a shoulder operation, to now being able to pull 3 times his body weight on a trap bar deadlift, Lerrone is arguably the strongest athlete on the program, irrespective of weight class.

Most importantly, Lerrone’s boxing has reached new heights under David Coldwell, and in 2021 he collected European and, most recently, IBO World honours.

No doubt the slick and crafty southpaw is in prime position to exert further dominance on the Super Middleweight division in the near future and Boxing Science plan to be with him every step of the way.
