THE ARIZA REGIME IN TRAINING CAMP
“Early morning sessions of two hours start at 5.30am, with warm-up and warm-down,” Ariza explains. “When I have Manny Pacquiao and Amir together at track and running sessions every sprint is really competitive, every hill run.
“It is never the same, so we go to the dunes at Malibu, swim in the sea at Santa Monica, run in the Hollywood Hills. It’s about variety, and all training is in intervals to simulate a boxing match, round by round. Even swimming in the sea can simulate being left on your own in the ring.
FITNESS/STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

DIET/CALORIFIC INTAKE
“Amir has around 200gms of protein a day when he is in training camp, with seven separate meals a day for 5 to 7 weeks,” Ariza says. “He consumes 6,500-6,800 calories a day, and burns 5,000 calories in training, in 3-4 hours of high intensity training every 24 hours.
“A fortnight before the fight, we taper down. In fight week, he starts at around 150lbs and we reduce the calories, and his fluids to get to the 140lb limit. Teri Tom, a sports scientist at UCLA, has devised a morning/evening two-a-day vitamin programme for Amir.”
