Najjar is a coach at the Bomber Squad Boxing Academy in San Diego. She received acclaim from her students for her intense mitt sessions, rightfully earning her the nickname, ‘The Mitt Queen’. Moreover, she has held the mitts for notable names like Ryan Garcia and Anderson Silva.
She recently shared a video of a mitt session with Jordan. Notably, the duo was engaged in a light session prior to shooting a fight scene. It should also be mentioned that Jordan looked spectacular during the session. And channeled pro boxers while throwing combos.
As per NBC, talking about training Jordan, Najjar had previously said, “For me, it’s no different than working with someone who is actually fighting. Cause I go in there like it is a fight.” Jordan, on the other hand, was all praise for his trainer. He even called the experience “priceless”.
Fans were in awe of Michael B. Jordan’s training session
There is no denying that fans were thrilled to see Jordan’s training session. In fact, a lot of them took to social media to share their thoughts about the same.
