What is Fight Fundamental?

Fight Fundamental is a newsletter for boxing and mixed martial arts fans. Although I will provide some news and recaps of major events, it won’t be the main purpose of my writing. I will focus on my specialty, boxing history, but I also love mixed martial arts and this will give me a chance to share my thoughts on that sport too. I decided to start writing here because I want a space to share my thoughts where I have the final say on my content.

Who am I?

I’m Jamie Rebner and I have been an avid combat sports fan since the late 2000s. I wrote my first boxing story in 2016, which was a profile of Terence Crawford for The Fight City. I have also contributed to The Ring magazine (World Beat Canada column), The Queensbury Rules and Ringside Seat magazine.

I have two Master’s degrees in sport and performance psychology and I have worked as a mental performance consultant with athletes so I have a unique understanding of the mental side of combat sports. I intend to incorporate that knowledge into my writing because it shapes how I process combat sports.
