Are pro-boxers supposed to stay away from women during training camp a month before a title fight?

it's a good thing to avoid sex and avoid distractions; if I was a pro boxer I'd not have any sex at least 6-8 weeks before a fight.. And probably isolation from stuff would be good. So if he's a real fighter then he's deff got a good reason.

That's some rule a lot of athletes not just fighters follow. They believe being sexually frustrated will make em stronger and more aggressive. Its only a myth. I have sex with my gf whenever just not a week before a fight. But its only a myth and has been debunked before.

Depends how tough your opponent will be in the fight. If he's a pushy B like Charlie Z, then youu probably don't have to take it so seriously. Cuz one punch lands on him and he's gonna run and curl up, or want to time out and turn his back = TKO.

Yes

Old school traditionalists tend to believe that sex before a fight lessens a fighters performance, but some claim that belief isn't true. I believe any psychological edge is real, and if a fighter believes abstinence during training pre fight improves his chances, then it does. Odds are good the half dozen hookers Big George sent to Bert Coopers room the day before the fight didn't help Bert in the ring. The jury it still out as to whether they hurt his chances against George as well, but George did beat Bert.

Are pro-boxers supposed to stay away from women during training camp a month before a title fight? the guy im dating seems to be avoiding me (barely talking, no seeing), his fight is in 2 weeks, but he says its just because of training camp and it will be back to normal after the fight. Any thoughts?
