Captain’s Villa, with its spacious layout and tranquil surroundings, provided the perfect environment for Brad and his team to focus on their training. The villa’s location allowed them to maintain both physical conditioning and mental clarity, balancing hard work with much-needed relaxation. Training sessions were rigorous, with the fighters utilizing both the villa’s outdoor areas and nearby locations to practice strength, endurance, and strategy.

This collaboration gave Brad the space and focus he needed to sharpen his skills for his debut as a professional middleweight boxer. The supportive atmosphere at Captain’s Villa was integral to his final weeks of preparation.
