Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually take about 5-10 minutes asking the student what are his/her goals, is there any injuries I should be aware of before starting the session and I'd like to know if the student has any boxing experience prior to hire me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I won the Gold medal in boxing at the 1992 summer Olympic in Barcelona ,Spain. I turned professional boxer in 1996 and became 4 time World champion in 2 different weigh classes. I won the WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF world championship belts, along with the Ring magazine belt. I retired from professional boxing in 2011 with a record of 38 wins (22 KO's), 6 losses and 1 draw

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I get invited to a lot of boxing events, either cornering a fighter or just being a spectator. I am involved with the sport of boxing and attend many different events, conventions, hall of fame inductions, autograph signing etc..
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advice you to do a research first, on the coach you want to hire, look at their credentials, and what do they bring into the sport of boxing. Boxing is my life and not every coach knows everything about it. I've seen many trainers who claim to know about the "sweet science" but make many mistakes and don't correct proper form. I think I am more than qualified to be anyone's coach.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How long would it take for me to become a decent fighter?
what part of the body boxing training focus the most on?
How many times a week should I train in boxing?
how long would it take for me to start sparring?

what equipment should I bring to my workouts?
