On the morning of a big fight, how do you prepare?

There are three key elements of my morning routine on a fight day – weighing in, refuelling and video analysis.

When my alarm goes off, I get on my scales: it’s vital I’m on point for my weight category. Then I get on the test scales for the official weigh-in and doctor assessment.

Hydration is key, so I focus on getting plenty of electrolytes and then refuelling with my porridge and eggs on toast. I eat to win; I fuel my body to be at its best so I can perform at my peak. Then, I sit down with my coach to do some video analysis of my opponent.

What about after the fight? How do you celebrate following a victory?

I’m often boxing again the day after a win, so the first thing I do after a fight is jump on the scales and cool down with a 20-minute skip and stretch out. Next, I speak with my family and wind down – it takes a while to shake off all the adrenaline!

If it’s the final fight of a tournament, like a Commonwealth or Olympics win, it’s all about celebrating with my teammates. The togetherness and the team camaraderie is incredible and means so much to me. Then, we eat! We don’t really tend to drink alcohol as we’re so exhausted and ‘drunk’ on happiness and pure relief.
