Ellis Badr Barboza broke down an average day of training at Venum Training Camp.
In December 2023, Barboza made his ONE Championship debut, defeating Thongpoon with a third-round knockout. Seven months later, the UK striker returned to action and solidified himself as a strawweight Muay Thai contender with a split decision win against Aliff Sor Dechapan.
Ellis Badr Barboza's success has been a product of hard work, including many long training days at Venum Training Camp. During a recent video collaboration with 'Fightlore Official,' Barboza had this to say about a typical day at his gym:
"A normal training day at Venum. We start at 7 in the morning. I would do running or strength and conditioning work and finish with some bag work. Something like a 2-hour session. And then in the evening, after few hours rest, again we would train. 230pm. We warm up, we hit the pads, we do sparring, clinching, bag work, all body conditioning and everything to make us strong. It is very intense."
