Boxer Roy Jones shared a way to train speed in the ring

American boxer Roy Jones gave advice on how to train speed in the ring. He told about it on Sunday, February 23, during a press conference held in Yoshkar-Ola, answering a question from his Russian colleague Kevin Johnson.

"Here, for example, in athletics, the coach tells you that if you move your arms faster, your legs will move faster a priori. And it's the same here: in boxing, if we speed up the legs, the arms speed up, and vice versa. If the hands are accelerated, the legs are also accelerated," Johnson shared.

In addition, the athlete expressed the opinion that speed in the ring is 100% in the physical category, not mental.
