The Vasyl Lomachenko training regime for his mind is as cutting edge in boxing today. An extraordinary scientific level of sophistication.
Mind flexibility is something the Lomachenko camp are taking to a new level ahead of his fight on Saturday night.
They are designed to be implemented approximately three hours after he works out – in order to relax the mind after a high period of intensity physically.
The school of thought behind their methods is that if the mind is fresher overall throughout camp, that in turn he will be able to have higher levels of concentration overall throughout a 12 round championship fight.
