60 second interview - Amir Kahn

[ono]

Ok so it's my second installment of the 60 second interview taken from Boxing News magazine...

This week it's Bolton's 21 year old lightweight commonweatlh champion, Amir Kahn 15-0 (12)


Age started boxing: 8

First boxing memory: Walking into the gym, smelling the sweat and seeing the bags being punched

Inspiration: Ali, He inspired me. I always looked up to him and i think the young guys, fighters like Floyd Mayweather alos, because you want to do what they do.

Motivation: All the criticism. You go in the gym and train twice as hard. I also want to be multi-world champion, so i think about that before training everyday.

Favourite all time fighter: Ali

Best fight: SRL - Hearns

Pre fight meal: Steak and some carbs

What do you do to relax: Put my ipod on, chill out with my friends and play playstation 3 with them.

What training do you do in between fights: I do a bit of strength work, a bit of jogging and sit ups and press ups

Typical breakfast: Some kind of meat. Fish, lamb or chicken with vegetables or rice. I change it around. It's important to help your immune system in the morning with meat.

Toughest part of being a boxer: The dedication. When your friends are having crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks, you have to say no.

Last book you read: Soul of a butterfly about Muhammad Ali

Favourite Film; Scarface

What car do you drive: I had a BMW 6 series and a range rover

Where do you train: Oliver's gym in Salford and at my gym in Bolton

Training routine: In the morning i warm up, skip, shadow box and have a really good stretch. Then in my main session, i do pad work, bag work and finish off with stretching. It sometimes varies with sparring depending on when i've got a fight coming up

Toughest man faced: Mario Kindelan. Technically he was very good and physically very strong

What supplements do you take: Loads, i have a nutritionalist, Phil Richards

What would you be if you weren't a boxer: I'd love to be a footballer but i can't kick a ball straight

Last place you went on holiday: Dubai

Best Boxer in the sport today: Floyd Mayweather

2 Asian Guys at work have left over curry for breakfast. That's awesome if you can stomach it at 6am.

Must be a cultural thing.

I settle for a Protein Shake and 2 bananas

This morning me and a group of my mates got our breakfast from Subway: Bacon, Cheese, Egg and sausage on a 6 inch Italian LOVELY!!

Subway is awesome! 3 have opened her recently.I've never tried it for breakfast though! Dude,Ono,fish in the morning! Ewww! You trying to put on weight? And doesn't teh fish smell attach to you? I once took tuna sandwiches with me for after the gym,left it in my bag,and when I opened it,there was the most gruesome smell. From the heat egenrated in my bag,all the brine was leaking and it STUNK!!So I proceeded to throw it at my friend

Wel i'm big into weight lifting and training, but am not in a rush to bulk. I prefer to keep pretty lean and settle for adding 5-6 clean lbs per year.

Tuna in springwater is very clean.

Just fucking stinks
