My name is Tony Jeffries, Olympic medalist and retired professional boxer. I am now co-owner of Box 'N Burn, two boxing fitness gyms in Los Angeles, as well as the Box 'N Burn Academy where we train professional boxing trainers. During my career I won the national championship 7 times, and also became European champion. These are the 4 ways you can throw a lead hook.

To throw the perfect lead hook, the first thing you need to keep in mind is your starting position. The wrong position won't allow you to get as much power behind the lead hook.
