Miguel Cotto graced Trinity Boxing Club, in downtown Manhattan, with his presence and sweat earlier this week.
He is facing Joshua Clottey tonight, defending his WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden, where he is continuously adored by his large fan base.
As the gym felt the city heat trickle through the window, the un-phased Cotto paced himself for the duration of his tough regime that ran around an hour and forty minutes.
It included landing precise punches to the pads, lengthy jump roping, shadowboxing, advanced stretching technique.
Cotto was in warrior form and showed his limited audience how he is maintaining his stature in preparation for tonight's clash.
Clottey, 35-2 (20), who won the IBF title by defeating Zab Judah last August, will present a stern test to Cotto, 33-1 (27), and has vowed to produce an upset.
