Anthony Ogogo - Q&A
Tell us about yourself and the sport you compete in..
I am an amateur boxer who represents England and Great Britain. I have had over 90 contests - more than half international contests representing England and Great Britain. I have won 8 national titles in the 8 years of boxing, numerous international titles around the world including being the first Brit to win the World Junior and Junior Olympic Championships. And am the current ABA Champion.
How did you become involved in your sport?
I first became involved in boxing as a 12 year old due to two friends having a fight on the school field, it was all harmless stuff and I was amazed how my friend (who was much smaller than my other friend) managed to win. I asked how he’d learned to do what he had done and he said he went boxing training, and from then on havn’t been out of the gym.
What does your weekly training programme consist of?
I train everyday other than Saturdays, Mon-Fri I train 3 times a day consisting of a run followed by a boxing gym session in the mornings from 8-10am, weight training from 1-3pm and boxing training from 7-9 in the evening. On a Sunday I will usually do a long 60-90minute run in the morning.
Which Maximuscle products do you use?
I use Creatamax capsules, Viper, Promax Meal bars and have also use Thermobol capsules. I am always on the lookout for extra and more beneficial products.
How do Maximuscle products help you during your training and whilst you compete?
As you can see from my training it is intense, so it helps me recover after training ready for the next session and keeps my energy levels high so I don’t get fatigued whilst training.
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
My highlight so far was winning the Junior Olympics and being awarded the ‘most outstanding boxer of the tournament’ award. Also becoming the first boxer to captain Englands boxing team and win the World U17 Championships.
Who are your heroes?
My sporting heroes are Muhammad Ali and Ryan Giggs. But my biggest hero in life is my mum.
What do you enjoy doing on your days off?
In my time off I love going to the cinema with friends - watching all the latest movies out, playing football on a weekend and generally hanging out with friends.
How do you stay relaxed and focused when the pressure is on?
I like to put my music in my ears, turn it up loud and get into the rhythm of the music. And remaining positive.
What is your favorite Maximuscle product and why?
My favourite maximuscle product at the moment is Creatamax capsules as they are easy to consume in capsule form rather than having to drink a litre of it a feel bloated.
Do you have any future goals?
Many! Ultimately winning a gold medal in the London Olympics for Great Britain, and after that becoming a multi-weight world champion as a professional and having put my mark in British sport.
