Former: WBA super light flyweight, IBF light flyweight and Ring light flyweight world champion Hekke Budler in the flesh also known as the Hexecutioner to fight fans around the world. We are part of his sponsors being Everlast which I am sure you all know. I am sure some of you are thinking what about advertising on here which I also need to raise. One thing at a time.
This afternoon Hekkie Budler popped in to show off his boxing belts and do a impromptu photoshoot. I never knew the World title belts came in special cases and understand why as these are seen as prized possessions. It was really decent of him taking time out in between training to come and visit us. I don't know if other boxers would have done this in the build up to such an important fight and shows what type of character he is.
It is not everyday you have a world champion giving you the time of day and what makes him different. He is down to earth and if you met him in the street you would have no idea except he is super short. I am nearly 2 1/2 times bigger than him but couldn't do what he does for a living. This is serious commitment by him and his family as he runs the risks.
The timing was not right to talk about joining 
He is giving me more details next week about his fight which unfortunately is going to be a non public affair due to restrictions on numbers (covid). I will have the link to stream the fight however so we can still watch it. The night of March the 20th and will get all the details so don't worry.
He is currently training which is gym work in the morning followed by more cardio in the afternoon. Sparring is happening every second day from what I gather and he is on a special diet now.
The diet he says is super boring consisting of boiled eggs and canned tuna and very little else. They do crave things obviously, but can't as his stomach will shrink now right up until the fight. They need to be close to the weigh in weight as possible as losing weight through various ways will just sap the energy for the fight. Two days out from weigh in day he moves over to chewing ice cubes as he says trying to lose water weight by various means is just too risky. Water around your brain which forms a natural protective barrier needs to be in place and why if he has to chooses exercise over losing weight by dropping fluid weight.
I think what I will do in the meantime is get an account set up as either him or his wife or hopefully both will join us. I am certain this will happen, but bear with me as already this guy is far more focused than when I met him last week. This is not the right time to discuss it and know being patient will pay off.
