MMA star Cian Cowley has been enjoying spending time with his family during lockdown as he looks forward to a return to fighting.
The Dubliner is used to spending a lot of his time in the gym or on the road and says the last few weeks have been very different to his usual schedule.
He told BRAVE CF play-by-play commentator Noel O’Keefe: “I was used to spending around three weeks at home, another three weeks in the gym, and then one out there in the world fighting. It was a crazy routine with BRAVE CF but I miss it, and I honestly can’t wait to return to it”.
He added: “At the same time, though. I can’t complain. I have two beautiful kids at home that I end up having more quality time to spend with in a long time, it’s refreshing to wake up every morning with them, it’s invigorating”.
Cowley also has his own gym, so he can continue working out during lockdown.
“I’m also blessed on this point”, he said. “I have my own gym, so I can control it pretty easily and find time to get myself out a couple of hours each day, just straight to the gym, finish my training, and then head back home.
"It’s not as it used to be, of course, but, at the same time, I’m aware that this is a privilege that many fighters don’t have these days, so I’m grateful”.
