Boxing burns 600–900 kcal per hour and improves conditioning fast. As a fat-loss tool, it's hard to beat — if you stack it correctly.

What boxing does well

High calorie burn, full-body conditioning, stress release, skill acquisition that keeps you coming back. Adherence — the single biggest factor in fat loss — is high.

What it doesn't do

Boxing alone won't preserve muscle in a deficit. Pair 2 boxing sessions with 2 strength sessions per week, or you'll lose mass alongside fat.

Programming template

Mon strength, Tue boxing, Thu strength, Fri boxing, Sat conditioning or recovery. Eat in a moderate deficit, prioritise protein, sleep 7+ hours.
