The thing to remember about these footwork drills, and this is as important for advanced boxers as well as beginners, is that they form the basis of all the good work that comes after.
These drills are the canvas. Do these basic drills well and you can overlay punching skills, head movement, defensive skills and broader tactics to dominate your space.
Think about ring generalship, defensive actions, angles of attack and methods of exiting the attack. These boxing footwork drills are MUST KNOW. If you can't do this stuff, this relatively simple stuff, then you can't hope to develop a versatile and effective fighting style.
When it comes to the best fighters, 90% of what they do are the basics, they just do them very well. These boxing footwork drills will help you do those basics well.

Nevermind just boxing, people who are interested in making YouTube videos should pay attention to you. Concise information, fluently delivered and done so when doing some relatively energy-sapping movements. All in one take... You make it look easy, Fran. Still a fan big after ten years of watching 💪 Cheers

You inspired me to finally start boxing. I always wanted to but it was too expensive growing up and I was nervous to join a gym because I live in an expensive city but now I'm working at one so I get to learn for free. I've been using all of your tips and I've never felt more confident. Thank you for fueling my new passion. Stay blessed! 👍🏾

I've been focusing on boxing(striking) for a couple of years now, along with other MMA disciplines, but I have to say your boxing videos have really cleaned up my technique and are the best I've found on YouTube for clear, concise fundamentals. We stand more square and less bladed in MMA training to prevent leg kicks, but even still, all the other movements are the same, and it's good to have high-quality videos like this to test the MMA teachings against. Thanks, mate, from one scouser to another! If I ever see you out in town, I'll buy you a pint 😂

Never get board learning the basics. We all need to see this. As soon as I think you know that's when you get bad habits. Thank you fran

Even when he is covering the basics, there is always something to pick up in Fran’s videos. Thank you.

Was hesitant on downloading the “free ebook” usually they are short and not very helpful only to get your email hooked, but this pdf is insanely helpful and genuinely out there to help people so thank you so much for being genuine with your free ebook!!! Not often you find genuine people these days that want to help people.

A common theme with professionals of any physical pursuit is mastery of the basics- this is that! want to excel? master the fundamentals

I’m a beginner at boxing and this video was absolute gold. Always thinking how to move the feet, weight distribution to move effectively and be attack ready. When I box I feel off balance and keep trying to figure out how to balance myself.. this was clinical in delivery and something I’ll be practicing day in day out. Keep them coming! Thank you!

Been a fan and subscriber for years. Fran's instruction, along with hard contact sparring, has taken my TCMA skills to a whole different level. For the striking part of H2H fighting Fran's channel is pure gold. Never his intention I'm sure, however, the benefits are undeniable.

Thank you coach, for your knowledge sharing here❤

I was an amateur boxer from age 7 to 17 and then a karate practitoner - and various other martial arts - until now (in my fifties!). Having discovered your channel, I'm now incorporating boxing skills into my karate and it has made a huge difference. I'm not sure I properly learned all the correct boxing skills when I was a kid and teenager; I think maybe I went into fighting tournaments too quickly and started relying on a reduced skill set that seemed to work for me. Anyway, you are a great instructor, and you've helped to rekindle my love of Boxing! So, thanks, and keep up the good work!
