Mastering the power behind the punch

The bond between a boxer and his coach is one forged in sweat and blood over countless training sessions.

I’ve been lucky in my career to have worked with some great trainers in gyms the world over, from Limerick to Las Vegas.

To be a successful boxer, you need a whole team of people to help you prepare for fights. As a professional boxer, you also need a good manager and promoter. But the most important person in a boxer’s career is his coach. He is the man who knows you best, knows your strengths and weaknesses. He takes time to assess your opponent and then, like two thieves plotting a great heist, you work together, day in, day out on a strategy.
