After only two days in Jamaica, Anthony's back in London and back in his routine. Being tired from flying couldn't be an excuse and this morning he's back training and he's not alone.. Abella's close by taking a break after running, while he works on his head movement and speed with a trainer.
Until recently, the two of them were in a space of infatuation. You know the crush stage where you like the idea of someone. You idealize everything you see and know about them from afar. You've only spent a limited amount of time with someone, so you see their best parts.
Now they've spent more time with each other and they're seeing the human side rather than the images and personas they've built in their respective industries. Although it's the real them, there's more to them.
To outsiders Anthony comes off as annoyingly perfect. Some think everything he does is premeditated in order to always look good. You can predict everything he's going to say and do before he does it unlike these other wild card boxers.
Sometimes Abella even thinks he's too good to be true. As time goes on she can see that he's perfect on the outside to others because he deals with everything internally. He also does try really hard to be perfect because he doesn't like to fail or disappoint people. Something he's been struggling with more in the past three weeks...
They're now in the admiration and respect stage of their developing relationship that will hopefully continue to grow. Respect is something people tend to lack when they're only dating someone and not in an exclusive, monogamous relationship. People have the attitude of I'm not taken, so I can do what I want irrespective to this person they view as separate from them.
They not only respect each other personally, but respect and admire what the other's trying to build career wise. That respect translates into understanding and a support system, which they both need.
It's 8 in the morning and they're at a tennis court of a park. Anthony's focused with the mindset that his next fight is either 20 to 24 weeks away, so this would be considered pre-camp before the real training camp 12 weeks before the fight. You train just as hard even though he doesn't know the exact date, venue, or location of the fight.
