Former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn (20-2-1, 13 KOs) is doing his best to keep his weight down while the coronavirus outbreak has stopped him doing his regular workouts with trainer Glenn Rushton as he waits for the rescheduled date for his clash with fellow Australian IBF #6, WBO #9 light middleweight Tim Tszyu (15-0, 11 KOs) in Townsville, Queensland.
“Food comes into the mind as an excitement at times like this when you have nothing else to do but I really need to try as hard as I cannot to think about that,” Horn told Main Event Boxing podcast’s host Ben Damon. “I’m probably one of those people that’s really going to struggle at this point in time. If I put too much (weight) on it’s going to be absolute hell and I won’t be able to get ready in the time frame of eight weeks.
“(I’m) trying to support the businesses as well that might be going under from all this havoc that’s happening – if I can find healthy options on the outside at restaurants I’ll definitely be trying to do that.”
Horn is not training with his trainer Glenn Rushton while following government rules of isolating at home.
“That’s a tough one. I was talking to Glenn about that today. I don’t have a bag at home and basically I’m not going to Glenn’s at the moment so none of that’s happening and the social distancing rule with the padwork – that shouldn’t be happening – so not much boxing has been happening and I don’t know how long until I do start.
“Once sport starts back up again, people are going to be dying to see something. Everyone will be glued to television screens watching sports or going to venues to watch sports that they haven’t been able to watch for a very long time. I’ve fought in front of big crowds like that and it does lift you to another level and Tim will experience that as well so I know I’m going to get the very, very best Tim Tszyu when I do fight him.”
Buy a heavy bag you tight ass
His mum and the wife won’t let him .
Lmao
Horn is a massive tool ,talks too much shit ,Tszyu will end his career.
The food industry has become more a comfort habit than a survival habit due to the creativity of making food attractive, convenient, and most of all, affordable in many ways. Yet, this move could be unhealthy as well. The alcohol industry is no different. That being said, it’s no wonder people struggle with over eating when stress ramps up since food is a comfort item now. In the US alone, nearly 40% of the adult population is obese from overeating. Folks, this translates to diabetes and heart disease. Atleast Horn admits he struggles with the same problems most of us do; using food as a comfort tool. As a health care worker for the past 27 years, I can honestly say I have seen more diabetes, cancer, and heart related issues in the past 10 years due to obesity or being over weight. Too many people rely on medicine to “fix” them and yet, struggle to keep weight down, drink less alcohol, and exercise because it’s “too hard” to do.
He could move up in weight, and get smashed
How much weight does he cut?
That will depend on whether Pizza Hut stays open or closed.
this dude should pretend that Crawford or Danny Garcia are coming to AUS to take it to him at 154, then he would stay close to 168 out of training. The only thing contenders want from Horn is his #5 WBO rating at 154, he has nothing else to offer for them ratings wise (#13 IBF at 160?). Australia, Germany, and maybe NZ only places left for Horn to box. Coronavirus not as spread in those places.
You don’t hear Tim Tsyzu complaining.
Horn is still living off past glory,
The guy is thick as two planks.
Please guys i`m so sick of reading these negative comments about Jeff Horn , what has he got to do to satisfy you , talented , humble , and genuine , please lay off and get behind him , i really cannot understand what he has to do to impress you , he beat Pacman , ( please don`t tell me he never Six world class boxing judges can`t be wrong , and what about that win against Zerafa , where have you seen sheer guts and determination like that take a good look at yourselves you critics and stop being so negative and give Jeff Horn credit for what he has done .
The way he talks it’s as if he only fights for Queensland and not the rest of the country ,so sick of this attitude from Qld athletes, so narrow minded .
Tszyu will teach this guy a lesson ,all we hear is Mum and the wife want me to retire blah blah boring it’s not boxing
