Holyfield, 60 added: “I didn’t think it was funny at first, but then I realised Mike hadn’t been in more trouble for a while.”
Until the collaboration, Holyfield had never tried the product.
On his first experience of sampling it, he said: “I wanted to make sure I got home and didn’t do anything to anyone.
“I ate it and laid down. I woke up the next morning and was like, ‘Whoa.'”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. His stance determines how he defends himself. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Sparring
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
In conclusion, learning to box requires dedication and patience. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
