It’s the sports drink of champion Josh Taylor – find out why

Ben said: “We have the gym extremely hot so the boxers are sweating a lot and using a lot of electrolytes and replacing that is extremely important to performance.

“So, before and during the session, Josh will be drinking the electrolytes, then having protein drinks afterwards to make sure he’s recovered to perform at maximum effort for the next session.”

Josh said: “To make the weight before a fight, you flush yourself out then as soon as I stand on the scales and weigh in, I go straight to water to rehydrate and electrolytes then carbohydrates. That’s where WOW HYDRATE comes in really handy, to put the electrolytes, salts and minerals back into your body. And it tastes good as well!”

He added: “Every fight out there for me now is a massive fight. I still have massive goals and ambitions to achieve.”
