What is Victor Ortiz’s early morning routine and training schedule?
Are you Victor from Cheese? Hey, Alyssa.
Nice to see you, nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you. What can I grab?
I'm up for a coffee, just a black coffee on ice, if possible.
Black coffee, no, what about cream sugar?
No, no, no, no, I'm trying to watch my physique a little bit.
Watch your physique. Okay, come on now. Okay, well, can you please have some chocolate?
I saw the chocolates. Trust me, I was about to pocket one, and I was like, you know what? Yeah, take some. No, no, no, no, no, I can't.
Why?
I have some.
You're watching that figure.
The truth is I'm a boxer. I'm very, you know, big in the athletic scene, so just trying to cut some pounds. Okay. I have a prior engagement, so, yeah.
Prior engagement. Tell me about it. What do you have coming up?
So I grab a box of strawberries and a box of all kinds of different veggies, and I just put them from here to there, here to there, and I just, you know, just box them up.
You box them up. That's the kind of box for you? You're confusing me, Victor. I don't know what you're talking about. No, I'm just joking. I'm totally kidding. What are you doing? All right, all right. Cheers. Boom. Yeah, let me take you over here to Joe. Come on over. Joe, we have Victor.
Hey, Joe. How are you, brother? Thank you so much for coming, bro. Oh, it's a pleasure. Thank you for having me. What's up, everybody? Welcome to a special episode of Coffees. I'm your host, Joe Shelby. I'm so honored to be sitting down with former champion. Please welcome the one, the only Victor Ortiz. Oh, thank you, my brother. Appreciate it. All right, Victor. I like to start my show off. with the same question. And this is awesome to hear from someone like you. What's your morning routine?
Man, morning routine, actually, it's surprising to many, right? I wake up at three in the morning every day. Every day? Every day.
What if you slept at 11?
You know, I've just... It's not. I don't know. For some reason, my clock is just there.
Conditioned.
Three in the morning. I don't know. Since I was a kid, you know, so 3 a.m. Sometimes I do 3, 3, 3. Just a weird thing of mine or different. And from there, I start with Bible study on my own. I know it's a little different than many. And then from Bible study, it's my run. It's my run, you know. So my run comes in about 5 a.m. It's still dark out. How many miles are you running? I do seven, seven to eight. Just a typical seven to eight every day. Just, I don't know. It keeps me feeling good.
Nice. Just a seven, eight mile run. And then you start training.
Yeah, I'll take about two hours and then I'll go to the gym. So my first training session is 10 a.m., 10, 11, once in a while. I like to just be in the gym early, you know. And, well, depends on my coaches because sometimes my coach likes to sleep in. Sorry, coach.
Nobody's going to work as hard as you, bro.
Well, when I was a kid, I had a boxing coach named Ignacio Avila. We called him Bucky. He was known by Bucky. So when I fight, you see my trunk say Bucky. Bucky said, Junior, if you're on time, you're late. And the early bird gets the worm. So that gentleman, may he rest in peace, is who led me to 3 in the morning always. And just growing up with no parents, that just kind of instilled in me. And he said, no one's working harder than you, Junior. If they're waking up, if you're sleeping in, you know they're working more than you. So it just kind of stuck with me, and I just run with it, you know. I don't... I don't really wait for no one. And if you're going to say, oh, yeah, I'm going to join you at three in the morning.
If it's 255, you're late. You know, I have no time. I'm just I'm stretching out. I'm doing my thing already.
Timeless words of wisdom, man. That's powerful.
That was all from Bucky Avila, man. And I mean, that was my dad, my grandpa, my mentor, my boxing coach, my disciplinarian. He was a two time Purple Heart in the Army veteran. And he was a boxer in the 30s as well.
So it's crazy. Your story is crazy, you know, from foster care to world champion.
Yeah.
And you went through just a ton of hardship. And we talked about, you know, your rise from all the various hardships.
