@warriorcollective: Defending the Jab/Cross is one of the most important skills in boxing — and this drill combines two classic defensive tools used by elite fighters. Here, former junior world champion and renowned boxing coach Malik Scott demonstrates a simple but effective boxing drill that combines: • slipping the jab • lead forearm blocking the right straight • immediate counter positioning The lead forearm block has been used effectively by heavyweight legends such as Lennox Lewis to control distance and defend safely while preparing to counter. Helping demonstrate the drill is unbeaten Light Heavyweight UK prospect and Gallaghers Gym super talent Billy Deniz. Scott enjoyed a successful amateur career, winning the Junior Olympic Championships and the Under-19 Junior World Championships, before becoming a professional heavyweight with a 38-win record. He later transitioned into coaching and worked closely with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, helping guide him during some of the biggest fights of his career. Tonight Wilder returns to the ring against British heavyweight Derek Chisora in a highly anticipated bout at London’s O2 Arena, with both fighters entering their landmark 50th professional fight.
