Gennady Golovkin: Daily Routine

From 5am runs in Big Bear to steak-fuelled sparring sessions, Gennady Golovkin’s routine is as lethal as his left hook.

Punching power in boxing is a funny thing. While there are certainly ways boxers can train and hone their skills to accumulate more power in their punches, it seems like some people are just born with heavy hands — George Foreman, Deontay Wilder and Roberto Durán (who had the nickname “Hand of Stone”) to name a few.

For Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin (aka GGG), the discovery that he possessed tremendous punching power in his hands came early in his life. “From the beginning, when my brother Vadim first took me to the boxing gym at 10, I was able to punch hard and the coach always put me with older boys because of that,” he told The Telegraph.
