![]() Promoter Zandile Malinga will pay the fighter's medical bills after staging the fight at the Greyville Convention Centre. “We discovered that he bled on the brain and sadly his condition does not allow the doctors that are treating to operate at the moment due to the condition.” “He is not in a good health condition at all," Dr Buyi Mabaso-Dlamini told South African news outlet Sowetan Live. The bout was ultimately stopped, with Mntungwa being awarded the victory, and Buthelezi was quickly taken to hospital where it is reported that he is in "critical but stable" condition. After Mntungwa went through the ropes with seconds left in the contest, Buthelezi began punching at the referee, before going to the corner and throwing shots as if shadow boxing. ![]() Bike work is great for leg strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and helps to burn fat.īedtime – After a intense day of training, it was vital that Tyson didn’t stay up too late, especially as he was going to be awaking the next day at 4am.South African boxer Simiso Buthelezi is fighting for his life after a frightening incident during which he began punching an invisible opponent.īuthelezi was on his way to winning the WBF African lightweight title against Siphesihle Mntungwa last weekend having dominated the bout over ten rounds when things took a nasty turn. The intensity, yet simplicity of the bodyweight exercises, improves his muscular strength, but maintained his natural physicality.Įxercise bike – Tyson’s cycling work was great as a ‘warming down’ exercise, as it’s a bit less chaotic physically and mentally. Because of the large number of reps, Tyson didn’t need to do much weighted exercises. 10 times, which is still actually pretty outstanding. Meaning he would do 200 squats, 250 sits up etc. He broke the bodyweight exercises up into a circuit of 10 sets. But it’s worth pointing out he didn’t do them all at one time. Tyson would also had protein shakes and bananas in between meals, and even occasionally cheated and had some ice cream once in a while!Ĭalisthenics – I don’t know about you, but when I first learned that done workouts in the 2000’s I was pretty surprised. The carbs were a great source of energy throughout the day, allowing him to train essentially 8-10 hours a day. Especially considering he trained 7 days a week, meaning he had little time for recovery. It was important that Tyson’s intake was high, due to the intense nature of his training. Meals – The lunch and dinner that Tyson had was based on carbohydrates (rice or pasta), and protein (chicken or steak). Tyson wouldn’t wear a head guard, further encouraging Mike to not get hit. It’s one of the reasons Tyson was so elusive and hard to hit early in his career, as he was well tuned to the physical cues that signal an incoming punch, through hours and hours of real fight simulation (sparring). It’s clear that the focus of his training was to replicate real ring situations, and make the training as boxing-specific as possible. Tyson would do padwork, bag work, and spar again a few hours later. So Tyson would spar 10 rounds everyday at noon, to improve his skills, and his familiarity with a wide range of challenges he may face in the ring. Cus D’Amato believed that a fighter had to spar often, if he hoped to progress quickly, and it would be wise to believe him, as he developed two fighters into the youngest heavyweight champions in history. Ring work and skills – This is where the real quality is apparent. Low glycemic meals such as oatmeal are known to improve your endurance for later workouts, and are good in increasing fat burned during exercises. Sleep – Waking early to intense body work is draining, and sleep was vital to recharge him from the gruelling day ahead.īreakfast – Oatmeal is tremendously healthy food. The box jumps and sprints were done to develop explosive strength in the legs, as well as working the anaerobic system.Ĥ.30AM Run – The run worked his cardiovascular endurance (heart and lung strength), essential for ring stamina. 4AM rise – Tyson rose at 4AM because he ‘knew the other guy wasn’t doing it’, which gave him a psychological confidence that he is working harder than his opponent, vital in establishing a feeling that you are entitled to victory.
