fight camp

Boxer's preparation base

Fight camp is the intensive training period a combat sports athlete undertakes before a scheduled bout.

Typically lasting six to twelve weeks, a fight camp involves structured workouts, sparring, nutrition protocols, and strategic preparation for a specific opponent: He's deep in fight camp for the title shot.

The term is most common in boxing and mixed martial arts.
