Alex Arthur told the Edinburgh Evening News that he plans to head to Cyprus for a three-week training camp to help him prepare for his May 3 showdown with WBO super featherweight champion Joan Guzman, scheduled to take place at the Meadowbank Arena.
"Cyprus has the kind of climate that ensures that roadwork isn't a weather lottery as it is in Scotland which is clearly important as, for Guzman, I need to be in the best shape of my life,” Arthur said. "Besides, I’ve been told me that altitude training in the Troodos mountains in Cyprus will also help build up my stamina.
"This will be important because Guzman isn't a puncher but a fast moving runner, so boxing him will make big demands on my stamina if I don't stop him early, which is by no means certain.”
