4 He’s All About Yoga
In an article by the Telegraph, a professional boxing trainer ran through all the things that Floyd would be doing for his pre-fight training regimen, and yoga was a huge part of it.
He claimed that Floyd had done yoga before fighting Pacquiao, and that is was important for him because of his age.
3 Swimming Is A Big Part Of His Training
Floyd Mayweather loves to visit various tropical resorts, and with his fighting days pretty much behind him, he can look forward to one long vacation during his retirement. He’s undoubtedly going to be doing a lot of swimming while in these tropical resorts, but the truth is, that Floyd swims when he’s training as well as when he’s relaxing.
According to the same aforementioned article by the Telegraph, Floyd Mayweather most likely starts off one day of training per week with a 30-minute swim.
The article claims that swimming is a great way to wake up your muscles without putting too much strain on your joints.
2 Visualization Is Key
Visualization is a key part of most athlete’s success today. It’s something that may seem like new age pseudoscience to some, but as Floyd Mayweather will tell you himself, it really works.
As the fight day draws near, Floyd Mayweather will be spending more and more time visualizing himself in the ring.
The aforementioned article by the Telegraph claims that Floyd might very well devote an entire “rest day” to visualizing his future success. The aforementioned article by Yahoo Sports has Josie Debbie claiming that Floyd spends time before he gets into the ring visualizing as well.
1 VR Boxing Is The New Way To Train
To be honest, we don’t know whether or not Floyd Mayweather actually uses his new Virtual Reality boxing game himself, but he does seem to suggest that it’s a great way to train.
That’s right, Floyd Mayweather now has his very own boxing video game, and it’s in the virtual reality format. In an article by Men’s Health in 2018, Floyd spoke about how it’s a great way to train whenever you feel like it.
Will it make you a better boxer? As Floyd himself said in the article: “It doesn’t really matter if they’re throwing their punches wrong. It’s all about fitness, it’s not about becoming a fighter or becoming a boxer. It’s about burning calories. Like I said, your health is your wealth. If you look good, you feel good.”
