Tony Jeffries’s Tips to Improve Cardio and Stamina for Boxing
In a highly engaging video uploaded on September 25, 2021, Olympic Bronze Medalist and undefeated professional boxer, Tony Jeffries, reveals his four indispensable tips to improve stamina and cardio for boxing.
In this 13-minute and 34-second video, Jeffries highlights that improving stamina and endurance doesn’t happen instantly, but requires consistent hard work and discipline. With more than 347 thousand views, the video demonstrates how one can enhance their performance in boxing effectively.
The Importance of Boxing More
Jeffries’s first advice is to engage in boxing more frequently. He asserts that many people overlook the importance of boxing more often in their quest for quick solutions to enhance their cardio and stamina. Jeffries suggests tracking boxing sessions to measure improvements over time.
The Role of Running
The second tip involves incorporating various kinds of runs into your routine. These could include long-distance runs, sprints, and hill sprints, all of which play a crucial role in improving cardio and overall stamina.
The Necessity of Rest and Recovery
Jeffries emphasizes that rest and recovery are essential for improving stamina. He stresses that overworking without giving the body adequate time to recover will not yield the desired results. The recovery process involves stretching, proper sleep, and possibly even indulging in activities like massages, ice baths, or saunas.
Optimum Nutrition Matters
The fourth and final tip is nutrition. Jeffries likens our bodies to cars—without the right fuel, they won’t function optimally. He highlights the importance of eating a balanced diet with the right proportions of fats, carbs, and protein.
Workout Structure
Jeffries encourages viewers to have a structured workout routine encompassing warm-ups, jump ropes, shadow boxing, and then moving on to heavy bag work or sparring. This routine, he asserts, is crucial to improving stamina and overall boxing performance.
In short, Jeffries’ video offers a comprehensive overview of how to enhance stamina and cardio for boxing, emphasizing consistency, rest, proper nutrition, and an organized approach to training. He draws on his personal experiences, describing how he used to structure his workouts and the benefits he reaped from this regimen.

Classical vs Modern Boxing Training
In the classical boxing days, training was literally sweat and blood. Grueling exercises built stamina, while sparring honed skills. Intense shadow boxing, skipping and bag work formed core techniques. Focus was on strength and agility.
Modern Boxing Training
Modern training methods add a scientific approach. Boxers use tailored nutrition plans and precise workout schedules to optimize performance. Tech advancements, like smart gloves and VR simulations, offer detailed analytics. Functional fitness and cross-training take center stage, enhancing conditioning and flexibility. While the spirit remains, modern training offers versatility and sophistication.

How do I improve my cardio and stamina in the bedroom tony?
Thanks Tony you done a great video can you talking about the nutrition of boxing what should a boxer eat through the day pre workout post workout and what is the good carbs in your opinion 👊
Great info. Is it better to do roadwork in the morning and boxing session at night , or boxing session in the morning and do roadwork in the evening? which will improve stamina and fatloss?
I have asthma, but I don't want to let that stop me from my love of boxing, but it really is an uphill battle, so I'm here for some tips. I subbed and turned rang that bell 🙂
I spared a competition kid today. I won the first round but I was just throwing hard punches and they were landing. The. Second round went downhill for me I was so TIRED
Hello MR.Tony
I have a question to you. As a professional fighter what would you say about me : I am 21 years old (started boxing at the age of 19-20 ish) I've been boxing for a good 1 year now I can go for warm up skip ropes for 5 minutes X 2 (some times I'm doing it for straight 20 min) after ropes I'm doing 10 rounds for 3 minutes on heavy bag (rest time 1 minute) after heavy bag I'm changing to lighter bag more like on round bags and I'm doing it 5 rounds for 3 minutes with 1 min rest, after that im doing light sparring sessions for 6 rounds. And also i want to tell you that my stamina right now can handle this amount of workouts. So my question is, do you think I can achieve anything in this sport because I think it's too late for me?
Thank you in advance <3
keep it up Jef, much appreciate your videos
What are your thoughts on caffeine/energy drinks before training and fights?
Is it possible to do too much cardio
Can eating pasta make you very fit?
I'm actually watching this video to last longer in bed xD
I can use this
I admire your videos i like your channel you give very important tips but what i don't really like is those rainbow gloves it's like negative energy it ain't the right place to show compassion to those people
Another great vod Tony. No bs right to the point vid coming from an actual boxer not some YouTube fool.
Im so glad you start the video the way you did here, there is no easy way and I needed that
Mate I'm 47 need to build stamina…got a match in 10 weeks…
Your warmup would have me slumped😂
Muhammad bilal mansha
I've learned to mix it up for sure, I held myself back by keeping a strict schedule and workout routine and realized mid fight the restrictions I put on myself by not healing properly as well as not having the ability to dig deep into the gas tank because the fight did not go to my training plan
oatmeal is the greatest slow release carb ever created. God got that one VERY right. Oatmeal 2 hours before cardio and you'll have energy to burn and your body will be happy to burn the fat.
You're wrong about hydration. Clear urine is a sign of overhydration.
