Fighter Training.
Amateur Fighters usually have a full-time job

Professional Fighters, compete for a living, (
competing is their job for which they get paid
), and train double to the of an Amateur Fighter.

). Usually a late morning / mid-day session, with
time for rest and recovery in the afternoon, then
training a second time in the evening.
