Coach Harps On Jogging For Boxers

The National Coach
of the Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF), Anthony Konyegwachie, has advised boxers to incorporate jogging and healthy dieting into their daily routine for strong bones and stamina.
Konyegwachie told newsmen in Lagos that the two habits would help in developing strong bodies and minds to deliver results in the ring.
“If you train consistently on a regular basis and eat right, you will indefinitely develop the physical and mental capabilities of a professional fighter.
“It is not only enough to spar in the ring from time to time. You need to jog in order to burn off excess calories and build strong cardio-vascular muscles.
“Strong cardio-vascular muscles will keep you fighting for a long time in the ring and eating right will give your body the necessary posture you need as a boxer,” the coach said.
He said Nigerians were naturally strong and only needed little training and motivation to get the required results of a professional boxer.
Konyegwachie said this had helped the country to produce indomitable fighters in the past.
