I want to know what a boxer must do to move up a weight class and more importantly how can he keep the same speed when he does? I am curious about foods, supplements, and training drills for someone that fights professional. Thank you.

Remember that you want to be at the *top* of your weight class, not the bottom. If you have just moved up a weight class, you will be paired with boxers who are much bigger than you. If you're going to try to gain weight, you should do it in the off-season so that you can get to the top of your new weight class.

After defeating all opponents in his weight class and sometimes unable to maintain the same fighting weight, a fighter moves up in weight class

It would be best that you hire a conditioning Coach to guide in your Weight Program to make sure that you dont lose Much Speed while Moving up in weight.
But most likely you will lose some of your speed and power if you do move up thats normal.

as a boxer gains weight he looses speed. Roy Jones is a perfect example. He should have staid at middle weight.

you would probably have to gain close to 50 pounds (depending where you are now) to move up in a weight class, and to be successful in that class

I would contact a boxing gym in your area and talk to a trainer of a boxer
