Eubank's training

This was in East Side training forums... said it came from Eubank's old forum!


30min stretching,
15min shadow boxing,
Six to 12 rounds pad and bag work,
Three rounds speed ball, Then
20 to 30 minutes skipping,
Then 50 or 60 sit ups and finish with 20 hits to the stomach with a med ball.

Closer to a fight routine changed slightly to 30min stretching, 30min shadow boxing, then sit ups, then three to 8 rounds of heavy sparring, then speed ball and skipping.

The routine was a 5-day week but running was seven days a week in the early mornings and the route 7.8 miles.

*Stretching included backbends, splits to be loosened up and have flexibility as a extra major tool,
*Shadow boxing was to work on movement and combinations not to just warm-up,
*Pads were great for target practice and working on specific shots,
*Bag work was good for strength and stamina,
*Sparring was the main part of training and the idea was to get good at absorbing punishment, so the harder the better and more the better.

Sparring was not completed until one day before fight night. The routine started again the Monday after each fight.

My advise is that sparring is the best training. The more the better!

Don't use most of your energy on the bags or shadow boxing use your main energy in the ring sparring other fighters. That's when you learn. If you get beat up don't worry, that is where you are learning most.

He is not telling the Truth ;D

that sounds a little bit bread and butter to me, like scrap said i dont think hes giving anything away on this one.

I worked with Him a bit, I know its Porkys ;D

Reveal all Scrap! ??

(Barry McGuigan said Eubank only trained for Benn, Watson and Wharton!)

Eubank is a character i like his style, is he a proper gentleman in person?

I love Him to Bits, Genuine.

yo scrap i only met him once & he was a really nice chap;D

how the hell did he get in that shapr only doing that workout:confused:

Think it was 86 or 87 I first bumped into Him in a gym in Streatham under a Pub. Having wars with everyone, wearing a ripped T shirt, takingCruisers and Lightheavys on. Thought what a tougth c**t, talked and liked Him. When training in Wapping, He would pop in now and again, after being pestered Id take him on the Pads. He kept telling me I was going to train Him, I kept telling Him I wouldnt He already Had a trainer. Me telling Him to F**k off, Him saying Ill be back. I had 2 middles at the time. Ive never seen Him Stretch as such, Pads and lots of Sparring was His way of Getting Fit. Seen Him run one time, and a Woman pushing a pram passed Him ;D. But love Him to Bits great times.

lol at woman with pram,that has put a picture in my head, world class fighter jogging along and a woman in pushchair taking him on the outside, sounds a bit like me i run like a girl haha! well told scrap

He was sparring Rod Douglas at the gym that was near Oxford St and Regent St in the 80s, just before Rod went to the States to fight - he told RD of a decent hotel and RD told him he could beat Benn. Eubank was telling everyone to please keep him a secret!
