🥊 STOP USING TRACTOR TYRES! THERE'S A BETTER WAY!

Fighting in the pocket requires good foot positioning, balance and the ability to create angles.
Tractor tyres can restrict ankle mobility and limit natural movement when stepping forwards, backwards and pivoting.
My solution? SWAP THE TRACTOR TYRE FOR A HULA HOOP!

🥊 More freedom of movement.
🥊 Better ankle mobility.
🥊 Natural foot positioning.
🥊 Easier pivots and angle creation.

If the hoop is moving around a bit, simply tape it to the floor.

Sometimes the simplest equipment makes the best training tools!

🥊 STOP USING POOL NOODLES AS BOXING STICKS! THERE'S A BETTER WAY!

Want to improve your fighter's head movement, reactions and ability to create angles? Try this!

Most people try using swimming noodles like conventional boxing sticks or pads. The problem? They're too long, too flexible and simply bend and flop around.

Here's a better approach!

Shorten them up and use them as a coaching tool to develop:

🥊 Head movement and getting off the centre line.
🥊 Slipping, rolling and changing angles.
🥊 Footwork, positioning and reactions.
🥊 Rhythm, timing and natural movement.
🥊 Flow state – keeping your fighter relaxed, moving and reacting instinctively.

You're not trying to deliver quality stick work. You're developing movement, awareness and reactions through a fun, continuous drill.

Another big advantage is safety. The soft foam reduces the risk of cuts, bruising and marking your fighter compared with conventional sticks or pads.

Sometimes the best coaching tools aren't the most expensive ones. Think outside the box!

🥊 OLD SCHOOL BOXING SECRETS! THE SHACKLING METHOD!

STOP YOUR FEET COMING TOGETHER! 👊

Before fancy training equipment and modern footwork drills, old-school boxing coaches had some clever tricks up their sleeves!

One of those forgotten techniques was called SHACKLING.

Using a broomstick cut to the correct distance between a boxer's feet and secured to the ankles with shoelaces, coaches would teach beginners to maintain their stance while moving forwards, backwards and pivoting.

The idea was simple: stop the feet coming together or crossing over, develop better balance, improve foot positioning and build good habits through repetition.

Some old-school coaches used this method for weeks to help develop muscle memory.

⚠️ This is a demonstration of a traditional coaching method. Restricting the ankles carries a risk of falling or injury, so safer modern footwork drills are recommended.

Sometimes the oldest coaching tricks are the most interesting! 🥊

🥊 TWO CHAMPIONS. TWO MASSIVE FUTURES. ONE WINNER! 🥊

Last night, two of my favourite boxers went head-to-head in the Regional Championships.

Both exceptional young talents. Both national title winners. Both Haringey Gold Medalists! 🥇🥇

Two quality fighters with fantastic styles, incredible ability and all the ingredients to develop into outstanding professionals.

I watched the fight, and what a cracking fight it was! Two talented young lads putting their skills to the test, with Alfie Manning taking the victory on points. 👏🥊

Unfortunately, in boxing there has to be a winner and a loser.

It's just a real shame that these two are competing in the same weight category and the same region. With the talent, ability and potential they both possess, I'm convinced that if they were in different weight categories, both would have every chance of going all the way to the top.

Outside the ring, these two are actually really good mates! 🤝

SHARPEN YOUR DEFENSIVE GAME 🥊
TURN A BROOM INTO A BOXING TOOL — THE RIGHT WAY
You don’t need expensive equipment to sharpen your defence. With a broom handle, a boxing glove and a simple plastic-bottle handle, you can make a practical training tool for working on reactions, timing and defensive movement.
In this video, I show you how to adapt it, hold it properly and use it for a few effective drills. Keep the movements controlled, stay switched on and make every slip, block and parry count.
A simple bit of kit. Smart, focused defensive work — and less strain on the coach’s shoulder.

STOP THE JAB SPAM — AND DON’T FALL FOR THE TRAPS 🛡️🥊

Getting peppered with jabs, feints and crafty tricks? Learn how to use the shield defence to protect your head and body, stay composed, shut down the jab and fire back with a sharp counter.

There’s an ancient-warrior feel to it: shield, then a straight, stabbing counter. The Greeks and Spartans boxed, though whether this defence directly goes back to them is another question. The principle still works: defend, don’t bite on the trick, then answer.

HIP ROTATION DRILL: PUNCH FASTER, HARDER & WITH MORE RANGE 🥊

Want to get more from your hip rotation when you punch? This drill helps you practise turning through your hips and trunk to build the movement behind faster punches, more range and greater power.

Hold a stick, pole, broomstick or piece of bamboo horizontally across your shoulders. Get into your stance and rotate from side to side, staying balanced and in control. Change the pace as you go: speed up, slow down, build it up again, then finish with your fastest controlled rotations.

Work for the length of your rounds:

🥊 Amateur boxing: 3 × 3-minute rounds
🥊 Professional boxing: 4 × 3-minute rounds
🥊 Want more? Build up to 6 × 3-minute rounds
🥊 MMA: 3 × 5-minute rounds

No special equipment needed—use whatever suitable stick you have available.

THE DOUBLE JAB STARTS WITH YOUR FEET 🥊

A good double jab isn’t just two punches thrown quickly. Your feet help you cover the distance, land both jabs cleanly and finish at the right range for the right cross.
Step in under control with the first jab, keep your balance as you bring the second one through, then use that position to fire the cross. Don’t reach or let your feet get tangled. Get the distance right and the punches will follow.

SPRINTS VS LONG RUNS: THE BENEFITS FOR A BOXER
I prefer short, explosive track work for boxing: sharp bursts that challenge your speed, power and ability to work hard. But long runs still have their place.
Sometimes a fighter needs to get out of the gym, breathe some fresh air and clear his head. A bit of time alone with his thoughts, away from the pressure of camp, ticket sales and the grouchy boxing trainer! 🥊
Track work brings intensity. Long runs give a fighter space to reset. Both have benefits for a boxer.

FINISH THE SESSION SHARP. PICK UP THE STICKS.

When a fighter’s tired, stick work is a brilliant way to finish the session—and it’s an often-overlooked part of training.
Without gloves, the target is smaller. You can’t just rely on the big bag or pads, where it’s easy to land shots. You have to stay switched on, sharpen your timing, and be precise with every punch.
It’s also a useful option for fighters managing hand injuries, when suitable. Stick work keeps them working on accuracy and focus without finishing on heavy pad shots.
Tired, focused, accurate. That’s how you finish strong. 🥊
