The Relentless Training of Madrimov & The Uzbek Boxing School

0:00usbekistan has quietly built one of the

0:02most dominating boxing systems in the

0:04world producing a new wave of elite

0:07fighters who blend the old Soviet

0:09fundamentals with explosive athleticism

0:11and unorthodox movements among the very

0:14best of them is Israel magof a fighter

0:17who unorthodox style through use of

0:19angles unpredictable combinations and an

0:22unusual rhythmic pressure that makes him

0:24one of the most interesting fighters in

0:26the sport to watch but mad Mo's style

0:28isn't just natural Talent it's a product

0:31of hard work and an intense highly

0:33specialized training system that shaped

0:35some of the best amateur and

0:37professional boxers in the world in this

0:39episode of how Champions train I'm going

0:41to break down the history and approach

0:43to us big boxing while looking at how

0:44mad mov has refined his unique skill set

0:46to the pros by the training methods that

0:49have made some of his moves so signature

0:51so on that note let's get right into it

1:01first up it's important to discuss how

1:03this Central Asian country has

1:04established itself as one of the rising

1:06powers in boxing in recent times and

1:08what makes it unique to the other former

1:11Soviet block schools believe it or not

1:13the main part of their boxing Heritage

1:15comes from an American Sydney Jackson

1:17who originally found himself stuck there

1:19due to war back in 1914 Jackson was a

1:22young boxer on the US national team at

1:25the time he was traveling Europe on a

1:26boxing tour due to injury he couldn't

1:29participate and he decided with a friend

1:31to visit Russia but what started out as

1:33a simple trip quickly turned into

1:36something far more significant that

1:37would change his life forever while

1:39checking into the hotel they opened the

1:41newspaper to shocking news World War I

1:44had just begun with borders closing and

1:47travel restricted they were stranded

1:49looking for safety they were advised to

1:51head to Tashkent the capital of

1:53usbekistan as a way to get back to the

1:55US his friend eventually received money

1:58to return home but Jackson wasn't as

2:00fortunate with no way back he had to

2:03find work eventually taking job as a

2:05tailor but as a competitive boxer and a

2:07fighter he wasn't exactly built for

2:09stitching buttons he needed something

2:11more eventually he ended up joining the

2:13Russian Civil War at one point but it

2:15was after this though Jackson found an

2:17opportunity that he truly loved boxing

2:20in particular coaching he became a

2:22sports instructor in tkent eventually

2:25setting up the first ever Boxing Club in

2:27the region resources were scarce so he

2:29built everything himself sewing gloves

2:32from leather and horse hair turning old

2:34canvas bags into punching bags and even

2:36constructing a makeshift ring from ship

2:39rope but Jackson wasn't just teaching

2:41boxing he was building a mindset

2:44discipline toughness and a love for

2:47competition not to mention his knowledge

2:49of the sport itself that was absent

2:51before the Soviet Union started to push

2:53the sport some of his most famous pupils

2:55include the Soviet Union's best ever mwe

2:58Valerie popenko who would go on to win

3:00gold at the 1964 Olympics while Jackson

3:04also coached very successful useg boxer

3:06and ruat risev who missed out on goal to

3:09Leon Spinx in the 1976 Montreal Olympics

3:12but each fighter that found success were

3:14known as Jack Knights who would carry

3:17his teachings forward to the next

3:18generation and it was this that set the

3:20foundation that would become the useg

3:22boxing school that is still recognized

3:25to this day fast forward to Modern Times

3:27And USC boxing is stronger than ever at

3:29the 26 Olympics they took the World by

3:32surprise winning a record-breaking seven

3:34medals at the time that's more than the

3:36amateur Powerhouse nations of Cuba and

3:38Russia but maybe it was the Paris

3:39Olympics where they won five gold medals

3:41out the seven men's categories which is

3:44truly extraordinary in terms of the

3:46style of school thought there's no

3:47denying that USCS have a very unique

3:49boxing style compared to other Central

3:51Asian countries USC boxing emphasizes

3:54sharp efficient strikes over volume

3:56combined with discipline defense and

3:57Elite conditioning to outlast opponents

4:00which has no doubt been a huge influence

4:01by the old Soviet school of thought

4:04however their unique flare comes also

4:05with a blend of balanced ability

4:08explosiveness and agile footwork that

4:10allows them to seamlessly transition

4:12between attack and defense through the

4:14use of creating angles but at the same

4:16time being disciplined with their guard

4:17and defense not only to protect

4:19themselves but to draw out

4:21counterattacks making them tough

4:23fighters to work out but the two things

4:24that really stand out for me is their

4:26adaptability and their toughness and

4:28there's no doubt deep in influences and

4:30traditions that Jackson embedded in that

4:32USBC boxing system that still felt to

4:34this day but of course maybe one of the

4:36most perfect fighters to put all this

4:38together is Israel mov and it school

4:41instilling that dedication to training

4:43athleticism and boxing ring IQ makes him

4:46the perfect example to

4:51cover now researching mag's exact

4:54training routine has been a bit of a

4:55challenge there wasn't that much

4:57detailed breakdown available online and

4:59most of I found came from scattered bits

5:01of information across English USBC and

5:03Russian sources however since he trains

5:05under Joel Diaz the same coach who

5:07worked with Demitri Beville for his

5:09fight against Canelo and even worked

5:10with former champ Tim Bradley I put

5:12together examples of what a typical day

5:14might look like based on the Diaz

5:16brothers training methods and what we

5:17know about mof style one important thing

5:19to not is that the training is always

5:21evolving in the lead up to a fight the

5:23intensity the duration and the type of

5:25training will change depending on the

5:26stage of the camp obviously with harder

5:28days focused on conditioning or just

5:30sparring for example while lighter days

5:32dedicated to technical refinement

5:34recovery and strength and conditioning

5:36harder days from Monday Wednesday Friday

5:38might include high intensity circuits

5:40Hill runs and harder strength

5:43conditioning drills while sparring will

5:44also be involved in these days

5:46increasing the rounds as they get closer

5:48to the fight so maju can reach his Peak

5:50while this will also include

5:52high-intensity bag work and Pad work as

5:54well lighter days will include things

5:56like foot work Shadow Boxing while also

5:59focusing on and things like recovery

6:00from what I've seen he might do up to

6:01two training sessions a day in the

6:03morning he'll do his boxing session

6:05whether that be sparring more technical

6:07drills stuff like that then after some

6:09lunch and rest he might have a strength

6:11conditioning session not to mention maim

6:14Mo will also go out and runs in the

6:15morning as well but as I said this is

6:17just an interpretation of the

6:18information I found especially as Joe

6:20Diaz will change the intensity

6:22throughout the camp or give days off the

6:24fighters so they can fully recover and

6:25come back stronger but one thing is for

6:27sure the guy is always training

6:33let's start off with his cardio and just

6:35like all fighters he does his road work

6:37and he'll tend to typically run anywhere

6:39from 3 to 6 km for long endurance runs

6:42while not often mentioned he sometimes

6:44challenges himself by wearing a 10kg

6:46weighted vest adding an extra layer of

6:48physical difficulty so not only can help

6:50improve his strength and endurance while

6:53also helping bur more calories and his

6:54balance while he's running doing other

6:56high Champions train videos the only

6:58other fighter I've noticed doing these

6:59weight runs is Gennady Golovkin one of

7:01his idols who would use lighter

7:03dumbbells while training up in Big Bear

7:05it's possible that mov utilizes these

7:07methods outside a camp so he can

7:08maintain his conditioning and stay one

7:10step ahead while Israel also does

7:13elevated runs both in his home country

7:15of usbekistan and his boxing gym base in

7:18California and India India is known for

7:20elevated trails and the extreme heat

7:22adding another greater physical and

7:24mental challenge to his training but

7:26nothing he's not used to due to the

7:28climate in usbekistan doing these

7:29elevated runs also have several benefits

7:31including increasing the leg strength

7:33and power helping to burn more calories

7:35again overall just providing greater

7:37resistance when he's out in his runs I

7:39doubt he does this throughout his whole

7:40camp but at the same time I wouldn't be

7:42surprised if he did next up with the

7:44jump rope as you can imagine this is the

7:46stable of Maj Mo's training usually

7:47performed as a warm-up before his boxing

7:49sessions or as a warm down and obviously

7:52this helps things like footwork

7:53coordination cardio endurance his rhythm

7:55and timing as you would expect he's very

7:57good at doing so

8:03now let's get onto his boxing training

8:05mov typically starts his boxing workouts

8:07with Shadow Boxing focusing on his punch

8:09combinations and technique fitwork and

8:11head movement and defensive drills and

8:13angling out sometimes you even see him

8:15slow down the punches to perfect the

8:16technique demonstrating his attention to

8:18detail while occasionally he also

8:20integrates a slip bag into a Shadow

8:22Boxing routine working on defensive

8:24movements like ducking and dodging and

8:25pivoting out just as we've seen him do

8:27in the ring also seem to use the Trad

8:29add slip line with his Shadow Boxing to

8:31work on sinking with his whole body

8:33while helping him also work on ducking

8:35dodging weaving maybe though the most

8:36unique thing I've seen him work on is

8:38Shadow Boxing on a big tractor tire

8:40obviously it has quite a bounce so it

8:42requires MJ mov to keep his stance while

8:45he changes his foot position not to

8:47mention his balance but watching shadow

8:50box overall it's clear that he has some

8:52erratic Rhythm which makes him very

8:53unpredictable by the time he gets in the

8:55ring and it's clear he fine-tunes these

8:57techniques in his Shadow Boxing before

8:59spar ing or fight night next up we have

9:01the heavy bag much like a Shadow Boxing

9:03MJ Mo maintains that constant Rhythm

9:06mixing his combinations bents and his

9:09footwork but what I like is that he's

9:10treating the heavy bag as if it's an

9:12actual opponent staying in motion at all

9:15times something that seems to be a

9:17recurring theme amongst some of the best

9:19Champions we've seen in terms of more

9:20reaction bags mov also incorporates

9:23different tools to improve his reflexes

9:25and coordination one being the speed bag

9:27primarily for his shoulder endurance but

9:29he also benches on his feet while using

9:31it very similar to the way Manny

9:33Pacquiao would do it working on both his

9:35upper and lower body well we've also see

9:37him use the double end bag where he not

9:39only works on his timing with his

9:40punches landing on the back he also uses

9:43head movement and defensive reflexes

9:45keeping his head off the center line

9:46while punching while sometimes you use

9:48continuous footwork and angles while

9:50using it there's also clips of using a

9:52swinging Aqua bag similar to the slip

9:54bag I showed before and much like you

9:56saw with Shadow Boxing you'll be using

9:58the same movements but actually hitting

10:00the back after ducking and weaving as he

10:02moves in terms of M workor there's also

10:04interesting footage as we've seen mov

10:06training the pads with both the Diaz

10:08brothers and his former amateur USC

10:10coach each coach brings something

10:12different though Joel Diaz for example

10:14emphasizes on power generation at times

10:16clearly trying to help maim mov adjust

10:17to the pro Style by trying to get him

10:19plant his feet more while the USC coach

10:22focuses more on precision and movement

10:24drilling one or two shots before trying

10:26to get him to Pivot out in an angle more

10:28in line with with the natural amateur

10:30instincts I guess both approaches

10:32complement his style though giving him

10:34the best technical finesse and pro level

10:36power there is more work with d as we've

10:38seen he uses things like body Shields to

10:40help mag Mo work in his body punching

10:42obviously noodle sticks for precision

10:44head movement and defensive drills just

10:47traditional Focus Ms Joel and his

10:48brother will use these typical smaller

10:50Focus M pads to obviously work on quick

10:52combinations and defense well maybe the

10:55most unique method is how Diaz uses the

10:57broomstick with the glove helping him to

10:59work on slipping punches as he comes

11:01into range and just general defense next

11:04up we have sparring like all Elite

11:06Fighters sparring is where majol puts

11:08everything into practice in Diaz's Camp

11:11sparring runs gradually increases the

11:13fight night approaches as I discussed

11:15and this helps prevent overtraining

11:17while ensuring he Peaks at the right

11:18time magal benefits also from high level

11:21sparring partners this includes the USC

11:24fighters from the lighter and even

11:25heavier divisions that train out Diaz's

11:28gym while there's also Mexican style

11:30pressure Fighters due to the location in

11:32California and he famously worked with

11:35Dimitri Beville as he prepared for

11:37Canelo at Diaz's gym not to mention he's

11:39also trained with two-time Olympic gold

11:41medalist bakod deer jalolov for some

11:43light sparring this diverse sparring

11:46experience prepares him for any style

11:48whether he's facing quick slick boxers

11:50or a physical imposing pressure fighter

11:53Diaz's gym ensures mov is ready for

11:56anything come Fight Night

12:01now maybe for the most interesting part

12:03of mof's training his strength and

12:06conditioning like many of the USBC

12:07Fighters we've seen they incorporate

12:09some unconventional strength and

12:11conditioning methods compared to other

12:12Champions I've covered so far however he

12:14also integrates plenty of traditional

12:16and modern exercises into his routine

12:19one thing that stands out about Israel

12:21is his sheer athleticism he's capable of

12:24almost anything his strength and

12:26conditioning work directly enhances his

12:28boxing style in my opinion improving

12:31that explosive power and overall

12:33strength Speed and Agility when he's in

12:35there in fact I don't think I've seen a

12:37fighter incorporate such a wide variety

12:39of strength and conditioning exercises

12:41let's take a closer look at some of the

12:42unique training methods as well as a few

12:44you might be able to implement yourself

12:46first up let's look at footwork

12:48exercises some of you may have seen the

12:50viral clips of mov and other USC boxers

12:53performing cross step exercises using

12:55that grid ladder system so what's the

12:57purpose of these drills these exercises

13:00primarily improve athletic ability by

13:02developing foot speed explosiveness and

13:05coordination they aren't necessarily

13:07meant to refine boxing footwork but

13:09serve as a conditioning drill that

13:11enhances a Fighter's movement when they

13:12step into the ring the fact they make

13:14these drills look so effortless speaks

13:16volumes about the years of drilling

13:18andol we've also seen other Eastern

13:20European Fighters like Alexander usk AR

13:22BV and vasil lomachenko use similar

13:25drills though perhaps not the same

13:27intensity as the USCS another more

13:29modern exercise magov incorporates is

13:32reaction like training as his coach uses

13:34this method to not only improve reaction

13:36time while adding a plyometric element

13:38by having him bounce on one foot as he

13:41reacts to the light speaking about

13:42Plyometrics maimo also does a lot of

13:45these types of exercises to develop

13:47explosive strength and power these

13:49exercises Target the fast twitch muscle

13:51fibers through short intense burst of

13:53movement often involving jump based or

13:56body weight exercises for the lower body

13:58he corporate spring-- like jumping

14:00exercises sometimes adding resistance to

14:02increased intensity or jumping over

14:04things his coach also integrates

14:06medicine ball throws with footwork

14:08drills combining the ballistic movements

14:11with coordination to simulate the

14:13punching motion he would actually throw

14:14in a fight and it's actually quite

14:16unbelievable how many of these different

14:17exercises he does but a lot of it stems

14:20from his footwork and as you all know a

14:22lot of the punching power stems from the

14:24way you're able to generate the power

14:26starting from your feet all the way for

14:28your core to the end of the punch also

14:30helping that fast power come from

14:32nowhere maimu also frequently engages in

14:35high-intensity circuit training which is

14:37excellent for developing arobic Fitness

14:39his strengthened endurance and the

14:41ability to maintain a high intensity

14:43under fatigue this type of strength and

14:45conditioning really helps prepare him

14:47for that high work rate required when in

14:49the ring common exercises in this

14:51circuit include things like the ski

14:52machine building endurance enforcing the

14:54full body engagement at that high

14:57intensity while things like the assault

14:59bike or treadmill also improve the

15:01conditioning furthermore we've also seen

15:02them use burpees before doing pyometra

15:04jumps developing that explosiveness at

15:07the high intensity work rate that is

15:09obviously required at this level this

15:11maybe leads me on to one of the most

15:12impressive displays of athleticism and

15:15that's his explosive pull-ups and

15:17push-ups he doesn't just perform

15:19standard reps he adds an explosive

15:22element the one that kind of blows my

15:24mind is performing pull-ups with a slap

15:26at the top just shows you the upper body

15:28strength this guy truly has and from his

15:30Knockouts it's clear this can transfer

15:32well over into the ring not just the

15:34upper body he also does traditional leg

15:36exercises as well but with some slight

15:38adjustments that you would be used to

15:39seeing in any gym these include elevated

15:42heal squats helping to increase his

15:44range of motion and depth while he also

15:47does Anderson squats starts from a lower

15:49position for the squat range allowing

15:51him to do heavier lifting to get greater

15:53strength gains and reduce the risk of

15:56injury he's also done things like

15:57reverse lunges with dumbbells helping

15:59with that glute activation while

16:01bringing his leg back up for balance and

16:03overall stability another area of his

16:05body that he trains like many great FES

16:07before him is his neck muscles and using

16:09the weighted neck harness this helps

16:11prepare him for absorbing punches in the

16:13ring Champions like Floyd Mayweather and

16:15aie Ward have also prioritized neck

16:17training despite being defensive boxers

16:19trying to improve their punch resistance

16:21if it happens well another traditional

16:23Training Method he uses is the old

16:24school wood cutting method but using a

16:26sledgehammer on a tire and this is a

16:28high impact workout that strengthens the

16:30core shoulders arms and legs and that

16:33chopping motion mimics the kinetic chain

16:35used when throwing powerful punches it's

16:37no wonder we've seen so many of the old

16:39Champions use this as well in their

16:40training as you can see from all this

16:42Maad Mo incorporates an extensive

16:44variety of strength and conditioning

16:45exercises all which contribute to his

16:48footwork punching power endurance and

16:51overall strength inside the ring his

16:53training not only keeps him in Peak

16:54physical condition but it also keeps his

16:57workouts engaging in a dynamic

16:58throughout camp that being said while

17:00mov does a lot of strength training his

17:02boxing training remains his top priority

17:04though if you're interested in see more

17:06of this training I highly recommend

17:08checking out his own Instagram as he

17:10frequently posts all different types of

17:11workouts additionally I recommend

17:14checking out strength and conditioning

17:15coach Benjamin Hernandez who does a

17:17fantastic job guiding him through some

17:19of these routines if you want to learn

17:20more about the science behind the

17:22strength training for boxing be sure to

17:24check out boxing science we've done some

17:25great breakdowns on mad's training

17:32next up we have maim Mo's recovery and

17:34diet now a big part of this is

17:36stretching majima does this both before

17:39and after training the amount of work

17:41this guy puts in so many areas of his

17:43training this is absolutely key to make

17:45sure he doesn't get injured not to

17:46mention he makes sure to have absolute

17:48rest after training making sure he's

17:50completely recovered before his next

17:52session in terms of his diet I didn't

17:54find too much in this area in my

17:56research other than when he's cutting

17:58weight he manages his intake very

18:00closely but from his whole approach to

18:02training you have to think he takes this

18:03part seriously I did see that his

18:05favorite food is USC PL the signature

18:08dish of usbekistan which looking online

18:10almost looks like rice with lamb or

18:12chicken and vegetables in it I actually

18:14think this would be a great post-workout

18:15meal for any of you USC's watching let

18:17me know if this is a good nutritious

18:19meal or if there's anything else that

18:21USBC

18:25have now as you can probably tell magov

18:27is an unbelievably athletic man and this

18:30was very obvious from a young age as he

18:32took part in multiple Sports not just

18:34boxing he said yes I've tried many

18:37sports I competed in Regional

18:39tournaments in football basketball

18:41volleyball table tennis wrestling

18:43acrobatics and gymnastics I also

18:46practiced karate seriously but my

18:48passion for boxing was always the

18:50strongest I had to respect Cristiano

18:52Ronaldo because I know how much work he

18:54put in to reach his level hard work has

18:56always rewarded in sports as much as

18:59Israel's main focus is boxing now he

19:01still to this day shows off doing things

19:04like back flips after his fights and

19:06even in training while he also still

19:08participates in things like Judo and

19:10Jiu-Jitsu obviously this may actually

19:12help to an extent when he's in the

19:13clinch or fighting on the inside but one

19:16thing is for sure even just the fact he

19:17played all those Sports growing up it

19:19just shows you how adaptable and

19:21coordinated he actually is especially

19:23when you consider you can fight as an

19:25orthodox or a southpaw

19:31now I think one of the most important

19:32parts of Israel is where he splits his

19:34time between usbekistan and India

19:36California the Diaz brothers gym has

19:39everything you could ask for as a

19:40professional the location also provides

19:43training conditions very similar to

19:45those in usbekistan making the

19:46transition seamless not to mention he

19:49trains alongside other USBC Fighters

19:51including MJ amadel and many more

19:54fostering a strong sense of community

19:56this environment helps them settle in

19:58Ming connection to their home country

20:01their Collective work ethic developed

20:03from their time on the USC national team

20:05carries into their Pro Journey now

20:07creating a winning atmosphere as they

20:09all push each other to work harder to

20:12succeed Jia has acknowledged this

20:14stating these Fighters are different

20:16breed humble appreciative kids and we

20:20have the chemistry because I believe we

20:22as Mexican Americans are hungry humble

20:25people too they put in the sacrifice to

20:27leave their countries and their families

20:29to become world champions they never

20:32complain and this has become their home

20:34he's very disciplined he's very

20:36disciplined they leave their country

20:37they're here to train they just

20:41train and rest train and rest that's the

20:44difference

20:45between the American fighters and the

20:48usbekistan fighters these guys are here

20:50to train I mean they're not here to to

20:52go to Disneyland they're not here to go

20:54to SeaWorld they're not here to to you

20:57know have parties or whatever you know

20:59they're here to train their job is just

21:02strictly boxing that's the difference

21:04and that is the big advantage that we

21:06have isra mov is like like this every

21:09fighter in their country has proven

21:12himself okay Israel is not an American

21:15fighter I mean his career didn't didn't

21:18uh didn't evolutionize in the in America

21:22he was he's great in usbekistan and his

21:25country so his people know he's great

21:27because he's proven to them that he is

21:29here for a reason and people are going

21:32to know there's a lot of Fighters that

21:33come from other countries that nobody

21:35knows for example I can go back and and

21:37say where's Manny Pacquiao when Manny

21:39Pacquiao was brought in as a replacement

21:41for a fight nobody knew who Manny

21:44Pacquiao was but they gave him the

21:45opportunity and all of a sudden Manny

21:47Pacquiao became a superstar and that's

21:49where everything starts these Fighters

21:52that nobody knows they need that one

21:55opportunity to be known that's how

21:56everything starts now that's what we're

21:58looking forward to overall you have to

22:00applaud the Diaz brothers and they

22:01deserve a lot of respect for taking in

22:03these Fighters and molding them into top

22:05tier professionals despite the language

22:08barrier at times they've managed to

22:09train and prepare them for elite

22:11competition in many ways Joel Diaz

22:13serves as a modern day Sydney Jackson

22:16guiding the next generation of USBC

22:18boxing Stars much like Jackson did when

22:21he found himself out in

22:24[Music]

22:25tashkin finally I also want to talk

22:27about Israel's mentality he someone who

22:29grew up in extreme poverty in usbekistan

22:32saying when I was little we had no gas

22:34electricity or running water the oldest

22:36child I walked 6 miles to school and 6

22:39miles back every day in the winter time

22:42I remember it pretty clearly because I

22:43was crying from the cold that was when I

22:45decided to do something with my life for

22:47my family I was going to do whatever it

22:49takes to move everyone to the city I

22:51didn't know what the way out was but I

22:53was going to push towards whatever I did

22:55with my life to find the way out that

22:58way out of course was boxing and he drew

23:01Inspirations from Fighters like Roy

23:02Jones Jr Manny Pacquiao Emanuel Augustus

23:05but his biggest Idol was kazakhstan's

23:07Gennady Golovkin someone from a

23:09neighboring country who had reached the

23:11Pinnacle of the sport with a background

23:13similar to his own when people back home

23:16grow up they look up to someone like

23:18Golovkin and aspire to be like him in 20

23:2130 years I want to inspire people too

23:23and show them that through hard work and

23:25perseverance you can do anything my goal

23:27is to be remember remembered as a great

23:29champion who fought the best and never

23:31shied away from a challenge but more

23:33than anything Israel understood the

23:35importance of hard work becoming a

23:37champion is first of all hard work the

23:39more hardworking a person is the closer

23:42he is to becoming Champion Talent can

23:44only have a temporary effect if you do

23:46not develop it and do not work at 100%

23:49you will not go far on abilities alone

23:51what impressed you the most about Israel

23:54what impresses me the most about Israel

23:56that he always has a goal in mind

23:59and when he tells you that thing it

24:01always comes true because he's in full

24:02control when he's in that ring he's in

24:05great control strong fighter very

24:07disciplined fighter and that makes a big

24:09difference because Israel when when he's

24:11in the ring he's very complicated uh you

24:14can watch a video of Israel and just

24:16because you're watching it you can you

24:18can give yourself an opinion but it's

24:21totally different when you're in the

24:22room with him when you're in the room

24:23with Israel is very very very

24:25complicated not to mention he also sees

24:27boxing as it's a very mental sport in

24:30the following first of all mental

24:31abilities boxing is even compared to

24:33chess they say it's not just a sport but

24:35an art it's important to think and be

24:38able to make decisions quickly if you do

24:40not use your brain in the ring it will

24:42be very easy to defeat you that's why

24:44boxing attracts smart athletes and of

24:47course everyone who has set a goal to

24:49become Champion must have discipline you

24:51need to sleep on time eat on time train

24:54on time without this is impossible to

24:57achieve High results

25:02another major aspect for Israel's

25:04success is his deep faith is LAM is a

25:06core part of his life giving him Focus

25:08discipline and purpose he certainly

25:10adheres strictly to his religious

25:11beliefs which not only keeps him

25:13grounded but also prevents him from

25:15falling into vices that could distract

25:17him from his goals his faith plays a

25:19crucial role in his ability to maintain

25:21strong work ethic and remain fully

25:23committed to his training career and I

25:25really do believe that's the case for

25:26any fighter you need to find something

25:28to believe in something to do it for a

25:30greater purpose if you want to have

25:32success Israel majima's journey is a

25:35testament to the power of discipline

25:37sacrifice and unshakable belief in hard

25:40work from his humble beginnings in

25:41usbekistan to his rigorous training

25:44camps in Indio California he has built

25:46himself into a Relentless force in

25:48boxing his training under Joel Diaz who

25:50has become a modern-day Sydney jackon

25:52per se for leading this new wave of USC

25:54talent in America has refined his skills

25:57while keeping him surround Ed by

25:58like-minded Warriors but beyond the

26:01physical preparation what truly sets mov

26:03apart is his mentality his faith and

26:06dedication to his craft leaving no room

26:09for distractions or vices no denying

26:11he's followed his idols Footsteps in the

26:13legs of Gennady golovan who embodied

26:15this same commitment he carves out his

26:17own path with an unbreakable will in his

26:19own words becoming a champion is first

26:21of all hard work Talent alone won't

26:24carry a fighter to the top discipline

26:27intelligence and willingness to push

26:29past the limits are what separate the

26:31contenders from the Champions the maim

26:34mov continues on this path there's no

26:36doubt he'll leave a lasting Legacy for

26:37the Next Generation just as his Heroes
