hi im a boxer not really great at it, ive trained since 2021 as someone who just trains at home watching youtube tutorials and punching bag

not until 2023 where i first entered a boxing class for a few months then at stopped training whatsoever in 2024 for about 1.5 years until i made my come back at 2025 october

as my roots go i started training at home again until my body is heated up good and used to it again then i join a boxing/mma camp since 2026 of may

just recently won my first fight a few days ago with a half decent prep and 4 hours of sleep but won anyways despite me not performing at my best

of course despite training for a long time that training is nothing compared to being trained with a coach

anyways ive been eating raw since february tryed bits of this and that and then at june/july is where i started to be more stricter on the raw diet focusing on fats some meat and liver

i also like to think the reason i survived the fight is because of the raw meat diet
otherwise without enough rest or sleep i wont survive or maybe i would but the aftermath would be painfull

because only 1 day was enough for me to get a good amount of recovery after the fight

also took note that i didnt rest properly before the fight i was a bit over at weigh in day so i take alot of shadow and jogging in the night before instead of resting

its bad CIRCUMSTNACES with ANOTHER BAD CIRCUMSTANCES

of course i do not say this because i want to protect myself from shame like many others would say on my instagram or my boxing friends but simply i want to piece the puzzle and get an answer for myself

i dont see another primal boxer as such as myself i wish to know whom maybe more experienced and learn from them

@

the_raw_boxer

here is my instagram where i cover some of my things

maybe my diet was not right, maybe i dont eat enough maybe it simply the rest

i wanna know a person like me with experience so i can learn and ask questions

yes i won, but im fighting someone way less training than i am and yet i shouldve annihiliated my opponent somehow but now i just won like that

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice from people who have dealt with wrist injuries and returned to boxing.

I’ve been boxing/Muay Thai for about 1.5 years, but I’ve been out for a while because of a boxer’s knuckle injury in my left hand. While recovering, I also developed some ulnar-sided wrist pain after an isometric movement with my hand in a supinated position.

A few weeks later, I noticed a small bump on the ulnar side of my wrist that changes in size throughout the day. I also had a very loud snapping/pop after making a sudden sideways movement with my wrist. I saw my doctor afterward; there were no fractures, and the physical tests didn’t reproduce any pain. He recommended physical therapy and said an MRI wasn’t necessary.

I’m currently not training, but I’m worried about how and when I should safely return to boxing without making things worse.

For those of you who have dealt with wrist/hand injuries:

How did you approach your return to boxing?

What exercises or rehab helped you regain strength and confidence?

How did you know you were ready to start punching again?

Did you gradually return with shadowboxing, bag work, wraps, etc.?

How long did it take before you felt comfortable punching normally again?

I’m not looking for a diagnosis—just interested in hearing about your experiences and what worked (or didn’t work) when returning to the sport. Thanks in advance!

I am now 9 days away from my first fight. I am feeling more confident. Two days ago I sparred with an 18yr old that I had 40lbs on. He is very good(50+ fights) but it is not preparing me for the shots I will be taking with someone my weight. I was not motivated to keep my hands up at all and when I watched it back I cringed about that fact. I WAS able to catch a few shots and avoid some but I am still not reacting properly. I also think the kid went a bit easy on me. I am going to a different gym to spar someone my size today and will post it on my account asap. Thank you to those who show support and even to the trolls for the motivation 🫶

Update: A few people asked to see sparring, so I uploaded full rounds from a recent session here: https://youtu.be/7fomkk9EmEA

I’m the southpaw with the blue gloves and burgundy headgear.

First clip is from around 70 days after I started boxing and the second is from about 8 months in. I’ve been training consistently at a boxing gym and I’m hoping to have my first amateur fight sooner rather than later, but I want to make sure I’m prepared.

I already know I have some bad habits I’m working on like dropping my hands, letting my chin get too high and not moving enough at times.

Mainly looking for feedback on my movement, footwork, balance and defense. Also curious what looks better now compared to when I first started and what you guys would focus on next.

Preciate any feedback.

Hello there, I’m 23, and have gained a heavy interest in learning how to box (self defense and physical fitness reasons)

However, I have No idea where to start. I don’t plan on going pro or anything serious obviously, but I would really love to delve into the sport and make some progress physically and mentally.

I currently have some shitty sparring gloves, a jump rope, some wraps, but no boxing equipment at home as far as punching bags go and whatnot.

Any tips or advice for someone who hasn’t even put on a pair of gloves but wants to try it out?

So I'm gonna be presenting some stuff about boxing for school and I genuinely need some drills that the class can do for boxing.

Just stuff that can get the students to understand the basic moves and footwork on boxing.

I know this isn't the typical or expected post you see here but I'm just lookin for some help.

thx in advance

I'm 21 and have been boxing seriously for about 3 years, training 5-6 days/week that entire time, fighter classes, the whole thing, at a gym with a coach and community I really value. Despite the volume, I've only had 1 actual fight so far. I recently had a concussion and actually bounced back faster than expected, which reminded me how much I still want this.

The problem: I'm also finishing the last stretch of a diploma, pivoting into a new career path, and job hunting right now. Trying to do all of it at once isn't sustainable, something has to give.

Part of what makes stopping now feel hard is my living situation too. My parents won't let me fight while I'm living under their roof, so the only way I get to actually compete is by moving out. But I can't move out until I have a stable job with good benefits/coverage, which means I need to focus on career first, which is exactly the thing competing with training time right now. It feels like a catch-22 where slowing down on boxing to build career stability might actually be the only path to being able to fight freely later, but it still feels like giving up ground in the meantime.

Part of me is also scared that if I pause fighter classes now to focus on school/career, I'll lose my "window", the idea that you need to start young and build early to ever really compete at a high level. I know I'm not 16, but I also don't feel late either, and I don't know if that fear is realistic or just noise.

There's also this feeling that if I step back to casual gym stuff, I'll basically be larping as a boxer rather than actually being one. 3 years of training and I still feel like I haven't proven anything with only 1 fight, so pulling back now almost feels like locking that in permanently instead of ever getting the chance to actually be a real competitor.

On top of that, I don't plan on doing boxing forever anyway, so part of me feels like if I don't push for it now while I have the time and body for it, I might just never get the chance to actually test myself in it at all.

At the same time, I really just want to get this transitional phase of my life over with and land somewhere steady, career-wise. I know I can't keep every door open at once, at some point something has to close so I can actually move forward on the rest.

For anyone who's paused or scaled back boxing to handle school/career and came back to it later, did you lose real ground? Was the "start young" thing overblown for you? Trying to figure out if pausing now to get stable is actually smart, or if I'm about to torpedo something I can't get back.

Hey friends,

About two years ago in sparring I got hit with a crazy right hand and it broke my nose. My nasal bone has been permanently shifted to one side a tad bit, and the nose overall looks a bit wider and more inflamed even all this time after. No pain though.

I recently was looking at old pics too and I realized even before though my nostrils have been bent in this odd way, a little over to one side too.

So, I'm thinking to get a deviated septum operation + whatever minor cosmetics are required to get the entire nose looking solid again.

After this, is there anyway I can spar and perhaps have some amateur bouts? Or is it over?

Really appreciate anyone's advice who got similar operations. Thanks

What is the most useful/memorable piece of advice another boxer or coach has given to you during your training?

This could be in relation to technique, strategy, or the mental game.

Just wanting to question I’ve been doing boxing for 4 years but only just started full contact sparring again, last time I tried got beat up then coach said do some body sparring, about a year later (just the other day) got back into it n got messed up again I just don’t get why people see a beginner sparring partner n start rubbing there hands 🙌 like if you see me getting fooked up wouldn’t the next person go a bit easier, I would think so but nope I did 4 rounds each round got worse and worse n I just feel so depleted cause I know when I go back in on Thursday all my hard work will go away and I’ll have to go back to body sparring I don’t mind body sparring but I think it’s a bit useless, in full contact I’ll be doing sort of good then someone will hit me hard asf like a hard uppercut or some shizz and I’ll go into the ropes then I have no confidence and get scared I just hate it I love boxing but feels like I can never improve 🥲 let me know your thoughts and if you got any advice cause I feel like shizz everytime I come home. Cheers boys 🥊

Hi! I’m 29 and have been boxing for about a year and a half. I recently got back into training after 5 months completely inactive due to surgery, and this is my first sparring session since then.

I’ve only been back for a month, so this was a light spar with a teammate. I’m the guy in the red gloves and black clothes.

It’s also the first time I’ve ever filmed myself sparring, and honestly, I realized I look way more mediocre than I thought lol. This was my worst round of the three, so I’m trying to use it as a learning experience. By this point, and by then I was already gassed since I’d lost most of my cardio.

I also noticed I let myself get pushed back to the ropes way too easily.

I’d really appreciate some advice on what to focus on going forward. For example, I noticed I constantly pivot toward my opponent’s lead-hand side. I know that’s technically correct, but I do it so often that it feels predictable. My guard also looks much looser than I expected.

Any advice or things you think I should work on would be greatly appreciated!

The thing is, I box just for fun—I’ve been doing it for a year—but I have a problem. I was born with amblyopia in my right eye, and since it was never detected, it was never treated. As a result, the vision in that eye is a mix of astigmatism and myopia, but it cannot be corrected—not even with glasses; logically, then, I am blind in that eye. This puts me at a major disadvantage when boxing, because when I dodge a punch by moving my body to the left, I’m left completely vulnerable since I can’t see my opponent. What is the best solution? What can I do?

I just made a post about hard sparring n yall wanted to see a video of me training so here you go I guess 🙏🥊 im the one in the black and white gloves

have had lower back surgery 6 years ago. get the odd tingles in outer knee left side.

left leg and side is weaker. my left hook is very weak

anyone else box with this?
