Question
can you advise what i should be eating everyday ..i am a heavyweight with 3 fights behind me ..can you eat anything and what about fried foods ...please advise ...dillon
Val Dillon,
If you are an amateur heavyweight then you have to make weight at 201...if you are a pro heavyweight then you don't have to make weight so the advice would be different for each. Generally speaking, you want to stay as lean as possible. You never should have to go on a major diet. Solid guidelines along with your training should keep you lean.
Cut out all soft drinks, Never miss breakfast, don't eat right before bed, order roasted or baked instead of fried, skim milk and easy on the bread. You don't really need to eat any less amounts unless you are having trouble making 201 as an amateur.
good luck

My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.
Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
