Question
Hello Sir My name is Bari and I am training for amatuerboxing My age is 22 and my height is 179Cm and every day i am runining for 45 Min and working on Club and working on heavey bag.
What should i do more to the best boxer?

Answer
Bari,

Generally speaking, the running is the most important thing you can do outside the gym. Eventually as you get more experienced you should include some interval training.

At this point in your boxing you should focus on technique. Make sure all your punches are correct. Then start working on speed and power. You should also spend at least half your workout on defense, moving your head keeping your hands up and practice picking punches with a another boxer.

Without knowing the style and strategy your being coached, this is as specific as I can get.

good luck
