As Dmitriy "Star of David" Salita knuckles down and enters training camp for his December 15, 2005, bout at the Hammerstein Ballroom, he takes time out to speak about the intense regime of his training camp in the Poconos and his focus as he enters into his last match of the year. " It's focus time for me", Salita states, "I'll be isolated for three weeks of intense training. This pre fight camp is time that a lot of fighters dread but one that I've come to really embrace." It's no nonsense, no distraction, all day, train, box, train, box." Dmitriy's day begins at 6 a.m., he runs for 3-6 miles up the snowy slopes of the Pocono Mountains. In between runs he spars with the likes of Jorge Terron, Edgar Santana and Miguel Callist. As you can see this young fighter leaves nothing to chance but relies on solid preparations for each and every outing. Saddoboxing thanks David Burke for in depth training coverage and we will continue to follow the progress of Salita as he continues camp, right up to fight night.
