Something that most people do not do or feel uncomfortable doing is clinching in boxing. While you are clinching, keep your arms on the inside and push while your hands are tight. With your arms in the inside, you are able to punch. It is uncomfortable but its really good at boxing. Always keep your arms inside and tight to allow yourself some movement while boxing.

Tony Jeffries from Sunderland in North East England. From the age of 10, Tony boxed at the highest level amateur and professional for 17 years, representing his country of England, around the world in 55 of my 106 fights. He is very honored and proud to have been team captain for England on many occasions and even for Great Britain a couple of times.
The highlight of Tony's career came in 2008 when he joined the very exclusive “Olympian” club. After beating the Belarusian, Dutch, Hungarian champions and the USA team captain Christopher Downs in his backyard in the World Championships, Tony qualified for the Beijing Olympic Games. I came home with a bronze medal after years of training solid. It was the happiest time of my life!
Tony turned pro after the Games having ten pro fights with nine wins, 5 KO's one draw and 0 loses
For the last three professional fights-from the end of 2010 and all of 2011-He trained in Los Angeles with world-renowned boxing trainer Tommy Brookes-for me, the best in the world!
At the end of 2011, Tony had surgery on both of his hands because of a hole and a tear in my knuckles. He tried all sorts of treatment to fix them, but the hands never fully recovered, and he had to retire from competing.
He was devastated that he couldn’t box competitively anymore, but the end of Tony's fighting career was the start of a new chapter in the then 27 year old's life. Now living in LA since January 2012; with the wife they both fell in love with this city straight away, so we decided to apply their green cards and move here.
They loving life in Santa Monica, Tony has set up two dream gyms -Box ’N Burn in Santa Monica and Brentwood-with the top trainer and businessman Kevan Watson. They’ve trained everyone from kids and total beginners to celebrities like Skylar Grey; also worked with the likes of UFC superstar Conor McGregor and legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.
Tony is a fully qualified advanced personal trainer and being in gyms all his life like Kevan and they made sure Box ’N Burn has all the best things from all those other gyms with none of the bad things.
Tony host's the Box ’N Life podcast, with Glenn “Six Figure” Holmes, trainer to the stars. They discuss anything and everything about boxing and life and have a good laugh doing it. They’ve also had great guests, including self-made billionaire Dan Pena, WBC cruiserweight champ and “Creed” star Tony Bellew and top Hollywood film producer Jason Clark.

For a Muay Thai fighter like me this is my comfort zone when I train Boxing😂
I just saw a 2 muay thai fighters fight and one of them was clinching and punching with his right hand( over hands) and when I saw that it worried me as a boxer because I dont know what I wouldve done if the guy did that to me. I thought about weaving but its hard to weave when someone is holding you by the back of the neck. Then I thought about blocking when the right guard but he would still hurt if hes strong so, what would you guys suggest to actually retaliate against the muay thai clinch a boxer?
@@2bored4life Just cover your face first. The punches, elbows, everything, are all just there to open you up to knees to the head. Walk in as close as you can with your hips; you want your hips on their hips, and then stand up. Think of it like a deadlift movement, don't stand up with your back, hinge at the hips and get them as close to theirs as possible. Cover your face to protect from knees coming up the middle as you're walking in. Watch for elbows when your head pops up to meet theirs. You'll probably still be in the clinch but you'll have some room to work. Grind your head into their face to make it uncomfortable. Watch for a kick on the break, they teach to shove the opponent off out of the clinch when you're done and finish it with a kick on the exit.
You guys are mean lol fun to spar with but tough too
@@silversides87 nah you just turn them keep your right underhook, and pull them straight into the left hook.i see you's use the exact same technique with a sweep. but the. just get up.
I have seen alot of boxers push someone off the clinch and the pusher is the one that strikes and does the damage because when you get pushed your off balance and on your heels the guy doing the push is flatfooted it's much harder to strike getting pushed backwards because immediately you think about correcting your footing thus having to reset!
Im currently teaching my young boy how to box in the clinch he did super great today.
Im 5.5 and i find fighting close very comfortable..i have a theory that its easier for shorter people to fight in the clinch as i find taller guys can get a bit tangled up on themselves
I think shorter guys prefer inside fighting too
@@Tony_Jeffries yes for sure
I prefer it despite having quite long arms for my height i still like the inside shots.
Great video by the way
@@whatman6199 What is your wingspan
wel that is weird i am 6.5 and i love figthing inside 😅
Clinch fighting can be very advantageous in boxing one great boxer who used it was Roberto Duran
Exactly! Thanks for sharing mate.
I’m glad, I came across this channel. Nice work 👊🏻
great video
just worked on this in boxing training and learned a lot from this video
FYI it depends on the rules and what the ref is going to enforce. It is very important to know the difference between clinching and holding in boxing. Clinching is a natural part of boxing that occurs during exchanges, holding is a foul where you are restricting the other boxer from punching while you are able to punch them. That's why they are telling you to get your arms inside
Could you also make a video on how best to counter when breaking the clench
Look into and read about Jack Dempsey's sneaker hook.
It appears that you are, by to fighting get your arms inside, giving your opponent the ability to trap your lead arm, the way boxers so often do. You can't punch inside when your arm is trapped/pinned under his arm and your glove is behind his tricep. Then you end up in a wrestling match fighting to get your arm free. Also, if you're holding your opponent on the inside, around his waist, he is completely free to punch you in the head with his free hand.
Good one 👍
This is the best channel on CZcams 💯
I train some fighters and we had a fight recently where an opponent came to simply survive so for 6 rounds he just grabbed, held, clinched. It was very frustrating for our fighter.
What tips can you give to fight a guy that just wants to survive by clinching? We want the stoppage wins, so we want to be aggressive but effective. Any tips will be greatly appreciated
Just to support the channel
The smaller guy is right...
You don't want to try to get your hands on the inside. Like underhooks in wrestling.
You want to have your dominant hand/back hand, which would be the smaller guys right arm... Over top of the bigger guy jab hand. Which is his left hand.
You can control the bigger guys movement and it keeps him from getting clean shots, like a hook from you.
You only have to worry about the big guys back hand/right hand. And you just have to lean your head toward the other side to keep that from landing. He can't rabbit punch you
I have a question, if I want to clinch for judo or bjj, what is the best way from your point of view. I did Gracie combatives so I am familiar with their methods although I might not have practiced a lot. In judo it's taken for granted that you grab the person's clothing but I want to hear from a boxing expert what he thinks is a good way to get to a clinch for throwing a person. Thank you
Why would you ask a boxing guy about clinching? Seems retarded to me. Also they don’t do “throws” in boxing.
Say if you’re on the ropes getting pummelled that’s when you clinch Yh? If it’s hard to roll.. shift out?
Wouldn’t you be leaving your head widely open?
Twitching
WHAT TYPES OF CLINCH DO WE HAVE?
I’ll do a video on this, turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it
pushing is also a foul, unless you're George foreman ,..hes allowed to push
but how do you block hooks to the face if your arms are on the inside?!
Exactly... The big guy is wrong. You never want to purposely get your own arm trapped.
The smaller guy needs to be overtop of the bigger guys lead/left hand to keep hooks from landing. And to control his movement
great video, terrible pants
Capris style cut is the style now
I got tkod by a much bigger guy I needed this 😂
Clinching should be banned. The Marquess of Queensbury did not allow wrestling/holding/hugging/clinching.
How to make the game more boring
Sus
Pro tip. Have someone teach you a little Greco Roman wrestling
