Building a champion: the men behind Jeff Horn’s incredible transformation
JEFF Horn goes into the Australia’s biggest ever fight against Manny Pacquiao at Suncorp Stadium next week armed and dangerous with years of mental and physical armoury welded onto his 66.7kg frame.
His transformation from bullied schoolboy with suicidal thoughts to world title challenger is a testament to the power of the human mind and the ability of the human body to shed one skin in favour of a stronger one.
For the first time The Sunday Mail can reveal the torturous training regime Horn has undergone over the last four years of his professional career in order to have the physical equipment to overcome one of boxing’s greatest ever champions.
Pacquiao has won 11 world titles across eight weight divisions but Horn says his boxing trainer Glenn Rushton and his strength and conditioning coach, Korean-born Dundee Kim, have him ready to score a huge upset on one of Australian sport’s biggest days.
