A boxer's diet should be low in fat and high in proteins and sugar. Therefore you should eat plenty of lean meat, milk, leafy vegetables, and fresh fruit and ice cream for sugar.

Ever since boyhood I've made a religion of keeping in shape by regular, conscientious exercise.

My own ambition in the ring had always been skillful boxing, speed and defense - on the order of Mike Gibbons.

Though I was not a belligerent kid, I do not think I ever passed up a good opportunity to fight.

But I do say that, if you will regularly devote 15 minutes a day, preferably before breakfast, for 60 days to the simple set of exercises that I devised for conditioning men in the navy, I guarantee that you will enjoy increased physical buoyancy and mental vigor.

Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.
