Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Been posting videos on snapchat all weekend from dubai/Doha eating all sorts and drinking. He's fighting Langford in 7 weeks- why isn't he at home in the early weeks of his training camp?
Too much money from daddy- not enough hunger.

He'll have more money than his dad. The kid trains very hard.Supremo wrote:Been posting videos on snapchat all weekend from dubai/Doha eating all sorts and drinking. He's fighting Langford in 7 weeks- why isn't he at home in the early weeks of his training camp?

Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Isn't 6 weeks enough training?
Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
You can eat what you like in the UAE, the heat keeps your weight down. Especially if you train out there. Eubank jr will be in great shape for his fight, he usually is.
Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Look beyond the pictures and don't believe all you see on Facebook.
It is the equivalent of some bird posting an airbrushed selfie taken from the right angle where she us surrounded by lots of happy smiley people in a club - it ain't real and it's all bollox mate.
When you see a photo of some supermodel in front of a plate of burger and fries and saying how much she loves to eat chips and chocolate - as soon as the camera goes they don't eat the stuff.
I can't think of anything better than to relax with a bit of sun on my back, eat some nice fresh food and recharge the batteries before a hard training camp.
You can tell by the look of him that he don't piss about with his diet and training regime.

Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Agreed. The heat does help burn fat a bit quicker but you definitely can't eat 'what you like'. Boxers should still stick to a strict diet 7 weeks before a title fight.Deserter wrote:Complete myth.Anzi wrote:You can eat what you like in the UAE, the heat keeps your weight down.

I've seen him train, he's a beast, always in great shape for his fights.
Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Well I think my 14+ years of experience living out here, both training myself and knowing a lot of people in the wider health and fitness industry gives me a bit more authority to comment. Putting on weight here is so common that it's known as the 'Dubai stone' - google it if you don't believe me.Anzi wrote:speaking from experience mateDeserter wrote:Complete myth.Anzi wrote:You can eat what you like in the UAE, the heat keeps your weight down.

Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
Well I have taken fighters over before in boxing and martial arts and only once had any one of them had trouble making weight, when I say eat what you like, I mean the right foods, not fast foods, cakes, biscuits or crisps, but more food then in Britain.Deserter wrote:Well I think my 14+ years of experience living out here, both training myself and knowing a lot of people in the wider health and fitness industry gives me a bit more authority to comment.

Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
He is in razor sharp shape constantly and so can easily get away with a mini break and relaxation. It will do hardly any damage and then 7 weeks camp to the fight. Easy.
He will still go into the 7 week training stretch in better shape than many fighters are at 2 weeks out. Lots of fighters are battling weight issues, not in shape outside of fight camps. He is working on it constantly which allows this relaxation as he is just constantly topping up a great baseline condition when training rather than training to get into shape.

Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
His weight looks fine and he obviously trains hard all year round but I would have thought at this point he should be focussing on the fight and not a holiday. He can go to Dubai afterwards. Maybe he just need a short break to gear himself up for the upcoming training.

that's just rubbish, how does the heat keep your weight down, if that's true, why are there so many fat arabs?Anzi wrote:You can eat what you like in the UAE, the heat keeps your weight down. Especially if you train out there. Eubank jr will be in great shape for his fight, he usually is.
It's air conditioned everywhere you go anyway, so what heat? It's not like he's living out in the desert.
The only way the heat keeps your weight down is if you lose your appetite or if you become dehydrated, in which case as soon as you rehydrate, the weight is back.

Re: Eubank Jr in the UAE on holiday just now
As I said, it's air conditioned pretty much everywhere you go, and the amount of extra energy expended to regulate your body temperature is minimal comparatively, the human body is very very efficient at maintaining homeostasis.The Law wrote:Agreed.

Actually extreme cold causes your body to work much harder, as the core body temperature is very high, and it's that your body is trying to maintain.
