Andy, I highly recommend you wrap this calf and do all your workouts in the gym on the bags.... It will not get better if you keep pushing it.... stay off the running if it is very bad strain as it will only make it worse... you can get a sufficiant workout in on the bags... give this calf a chance to heal before you push it too far....I am giving this advice on the assumption it is somewhat of a bad strain.... if it has not healed before the fight and you are determined to fight this bout, you should consider asking your doctor if he would recommend a cortizone shot....
thanks for the question....
good luck...

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.
