Welterweight and Junior Welterweight Champion Paulie Malinaggi returned to the boxing ring, not with gloves, but Bare Knuckle. The former IBF and WBA star turned commentator saw the rise in the bare knuckle leagues and wanted a bigger piece of that prize.
Paulie came to us for training because he didn’t want to do the typical ‘kill yourself’ training that younger fighters often abuse themselves with. He wanted a more balanced, skill-centric, tonic form of strength training.
Being new to clubs and having a high athletic accumen, Paulie was our perfect subject to develop an actual fighter’s routine specifically for clubs and maces. Paulie worked out with us, not alone, so we did the strength portion of his conditioning training rep for rep with him. It was goid stuff!
Paulie defeated his formidable 10 year younger opponant by decision and is now a ranked Bare Knucle fighter with a chance at a title fight this year.
We’ll be offering his exact workout this year on our Adex Club Youtube Channel
