"Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring. " (Sugar Ray Leonard )

I think only an idiot or drunk does not have fear before a bout, so it is ok, man

Only road work and hard training can give you a bit of confidence

Nerves are good.

Everyone is nervous before they fight whether they say they are or not. As soon as you step into that ring it all goes away. It's just you and the other guy.

Like someone previously said get lots of roadwork in. You can never be too fit! Try running 5/6 days a week a couple miles as well as your boxing training. There is nothing worse than being unfit and tired after the first round and your opponent taking advantage of that. Trust me!

You should be nervey, if you're not then you can really worry!
You don't want to be going in to a fight relaxed and half asleep!
You can either let the nerves get on top of you or you can channel them in to the ring.
