Johnny’s Return to the Ring

“The Jew is Back” 

As many of you know, Main Event Fitness owner Johnny left for Thailand on Sunday to prepare for his upcoming fight. On Friday 29th July, Johnny will be competing in Ultimate Legends, this is his first fight in two years – so he’s very busy preparing for his big comeback! Johnny is currently training at Sitsongpeenong in Surin, Phuket, this is home to some of the best fighters in Thailand such as Supaboy and Kem. For Johnny, adjusting to the heat has been pretty difficult, but fortunately he’s starting to get used to it. 

The days are long, hot and strenuous, so Johnny has dropped 5kg’s in 4 days, which is a little bit dramatic, but he’s still trying to work out how much he needs to be eating. Even though the training is tough, the heat really takes away your appetite, so it’s hard to get the right amount of food down. Each day Johnny gets up to run at 6.30am, with training starting at 7am until 9am, they then train from 4pm-6pm.

Johnny’s favourite, yet most painful part of training has been the clinching. He thoroughly enjoyed watching a few boys fight in Patong on Saturday night and will be enjoying a well deserved rest on Sunday.
