Fasting and boxing training just doesn't make sense. Truly draining yourself.

Fasting more important then boxing.

Just remember not to fast during or 2 months after Ramadan.

Rough night for Ali. Fasting during training would do that to you.

I fast every year, I agree it takes away a huge amount of your energy, levels of concentration and also strength.

I don't agree with his excuse though, you're a fighter you could have chose to move the fight forward a month.

Hes an idiot for fight so close after ramadan. Fasting is very difficult. Im from the uk and I was fasting the first few days you would start your fast at 3 am and break it @ 9.30 pm. Its very difficult when your working too. So imagine training.
