why do boxers start biting the air before the fight starts?

Streching out their jaw muscles for the punches on the chin. I don't know if it works, but it couldn't hurt.

They're copying that movie "Hook" based on Peter Pan, where the kids start imagining food on the table and the food appears with their imagination. But it's harder for a boxer because they have to imagine flying-food.

Or

They're just trying to clean up the ring by trying to eat the flies that are around there?
