Transcript from ‘Champion Fights & Bangkok Nights’ podcast
Dave – I had a very good instructor. He was very proactive and he drove me everywhere, to take me to the England squad training. My big chance came and I was selected for the England team. It’s like going through selection with the forces. You know you’ve got to be in it, to win it. Incidentally, I followed the Royal Marines fitness course. The USA were undisputedly the best kickboxing team in the world. I trained professionally six days a week for several hours a day.
I’d start the day with my running coach for a 10 mile road run in the morning. We could do that in 50 to 55 minutes which is not bad considering we’re not runners. During our run back, we’d have a little break, then we’d go into the weight room to do the weight training.
