Thanks to Jason Peters for another great media write up:

Inner City Boxing PG is set to welcome young fighters to a comprehensive camp that will help them reach new levels of success inside the ring.

The four-day gathering starts on Aug. 27 in Prince George. It will focus on introducing novice boxers to high-performance training, with Inner City and Team B.C. coaches Jag Seehra and Kenny Lally setting the tone. The camp is suitable for open boxers as well.

“We have a lot of new relationships that we’ve made, some old relationships, and we want to just bring B.C. back together,” Seehra said. “That’s the way it used to be when we used to compete. We’d all train together and we’d all go to nationals together, and those relationships carried on. That’s what we want to bring back – that camaraderie.

“They’ll learn how hard the training is, and what it really takes to be a champion, what it takes to win a gold medal at nationals,” Seehra added. “That’s the main goal.”

Camp participants will start each day with roadwork. Then they’ll move into high intensity drills at the Inner City gym. Lally – a seven-time national champion – will lead those sessions, designed to maximize fitness specifically for boxing.

After a lunch break, each afternoon will feature an educational element. On opening day, Sharleen Hoar – a certified mental performance consultant and high-performance sport scientist from Victoria’s Coastal Human Performance – will give a presentation on the benefits of mental training.

Seth Lenetsky (Aug. 28), Seehra (Aug. 29) and Alex Legault (Aug. 30) will lead the other educational sessions.

Lenetsky, a Victoria-based strength and conditioning coach who has worked with athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB and national boxing programs, will take camp participants through a session called Best Practices for Fight Day.

Seehra, a four-time national medal-winner and 11-time provincial champion, will instruct on the proper use of the jab.

Legault – a former Inner City fighter and a three-time national gold-medalist who now lives in Calgary and runs Undisputed Boxing – will give a talk about the importance of proper nutrition.

Afternoons will also include controlled sparring sessions, with Cranbrook Eagles head coach and national medalist Tom White – another Inner City alumnus – monitoring the action. Each day, White will also lead campers through proper warm-ups.

This camp will be the first Inner City has hosted since Seehra and Lally rebooted it in early 2024.

“Last year was the first time that we dabbled with this idea, when we went to Edmonton for a camp,” Lally said. “We thought, why don’t we hold it here and try to make it a yearly thing? Our coach, he put on the best camps back in the day and they benefited us hugely in the success we had in the sport. So we want to bring some of that old-school stuff back.”

That coach is Bob Pegues. He now lives in Quebec but will be in Prince George for this camp. His official role will be camp cook – a nod to his skill for putting together unforgettable meals at camps during Seehra and Lally’s rise as youth boxers.

Pegues still enjoys creating perfect pasta feasts and firing up the barbecue at every opportunity.

“I cook here at home all the time,” he said. “I love to cook – it’s one of my hobbies.”

In the cheffing duties, Pegues will get help from Inner City assistant coach Mikey Brooks, himself a culinary artist.

Pegues says “it’s a great idea” for Seehra and Lally to hold the camp, and to bring all of the different areas of boxing expertise together.

“My first camp was probably 2003,” Pegues said. “I used to have the boxers at my home. Everybody would sleep in the basement and my wife would move out for the time of the camp. It was always great, and you can sit here in your rocking chair years later and think about the things you might have won or didn’t win, but it’s the memories you have of those kinds of things that stay with you.

“I was so fortunate being able to really live my dream in boxing, some of the places I went with Kenny and Jag, and Team B.C. and Team Canada, and the camps were always one of the more fun things we ever did,” Pegues added. “They bring the kids together, put us all on the same wavelength. The boxers get to the events and you can see them high-fiving each other and being buddy-buddy. And some of them are lifelong friends now for sure. So it’s always good, always lots of fun to hold these camps.”

Seehra and Lally expect to have close to 40 participants at the camp. Twenty of them will stay at Fir Haven Guest House, which sits on five acres of property in the Blackburn area of the city. Rooms are also booked at the Pomeroy Inn & Suites, walking distance from the Inner City gym.

Boxers who stay at the hotel are welcome to attend all functions at Fir Haven.

For many of the fighters, the camp will be a stepping stone toward the B.C. provincial championships and B.C. Bronze Gloves at the end of September in Chilliwack.

Friendly reminder that the gym will be closed tomorrow Monday Aug 3rd!
