Top USA amateur boxers adjusting to life without fights & waiting another year for Olympics show

Arjan Iseni training during the pandemic

Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Április 23, 2020) — Amateur boxing, as in the professional ranks, has been shut-down worldwide due to the Coronavirus pandemic. USA Boxing members are adjusting to these challenging and trying times all across the country.

Gyms and schools are closed, tournaments suspended, és a 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo have been postponed a year. Members of the Elite Qualification, Youth and Junior High Performance teams are home rather than in Colorado Springs training at the state-of-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center.

How are some of the leading U.S. amateur boxers living during this period without fights?

ELITE OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION TEAM

Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, Michigan), 26-year-old middleweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold medal performances: 2019 Nemzeti Golden Gloves; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-time Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks was within one qualifier victory of officially becoming a member of the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. He is taking advantage of the break, bár, spending quality time with his wife and young daughter.

“

I personally feel that this has been a blessing in disguise, because I have more time to improve on the things the USA coaches have been telling me to work on. I live in an apartment in Lansing (MY), but I’ve been staying with my mom in Grand Rapids so I can comfortably train. It’s weird in a way, but I miss getting punched at. I’ve been trying to adapt to the new normal, but I can’t wait to be back at the training center (in Colorado Springs).

“I love that I can see my daughter every day to give her all my attention, but she misses the gym as much as me. My wife and mother have been very supportive. I believe waiting another year will only make me better by the time the Olympics are here.”

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohio), 22-year-old welterweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2020 Olympic Team Trials, 3-time Elite National Championships (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 Nemzeti PAL. International: 2020 Strandja Tournament & 2019 Pan-American Games

Jones had been on a roll leading up to the since postponed Americas Qualifier to lock a roster spot on the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. She has been training at her family’s gym in Toledo, as well as getting more involved in community services and functions.



“I have not adapted to life without boxing, because boxing will never leave my life. A családom / coaches have a gym connected to our house we live in. Boxing is not a sport, it’s a lifestyle .

“My heart dropped when I first heard that the Olympics were postponed. Everything that I have been working toward for basically my whole life is on pause until next July. I do not know how I feel or how to express how I feel. The only thing I can do is try to stay motivated.”


YOUTH HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Arjan Iseni (Staten Island, New York), 17-year-old light heavyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships, Eastern Regional Open & Youth Open

Iseni lives in the Coronavirus epicenter, Staten Island, NY. He and his father built a small ring in their backyard (lásd az alábbi képet) because he couldn’t train in any gyms.

“It’s very hard to know that I won’t be able to represent Team USA this year in any international tournaments. This is my last year as a youth boxer, but I have been training very hard during quarantine, and I will be ready for whatever is next for me.

“It is hard knowing that I will not be fighting soon, but this gives me more time to perfect the little flaws in my game, and I’ll comeback stronger when this all ends. Remélhetőleg, everything goes back to normal soon, so I can get back to fighting actively and hopefully make Team USA as an Elite boxer.”


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Hawaii), 17-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships & Western Regional Open; 2018 Youth National Championships & Western Regionals Open; 2017 Országos Junior Olimpia & Nemzeti Golden Gloves

Patricio lives the furthest away from training camp and her teammates, but her family owns a boxing gym, and training/sparring isn’t as a problem for her because she has eight siblings.



“We are in quarantine and I have adapted to life without fights by continuing to train at our personal gym with my siblings. Training hasn’t been a problem for us because we have our own personal gym. We sanitize all the equipment and the gym before and after training. Since there are no fights coming soon, we have been sharpening up our skills and building more knowledge We’ve been gaining strength and keeping up our endurance. On weekends, my dad rides a bike while we run laps to get some sunlight, and sometimes we do sprint drills outside.

“Our family is a boxing family that started with my dad as he was a boxer. He started training me, only for defense, but it started to get serious in 2015 when I won my first tournament in Kansas. All of my other siblings are also boxers and they’re also multiple-time champions. My siblings and I have been getting a ton of family time staying home together. This quarantine has made us even closer. Our bond makes us stronger individually and as one. I’m far away from training in Colorado Springs, but my teammates are only a phone call away. I’m able to stay in touch and that’s very warming. Some of the coaches check on me to see how I’ve been doing. I looked forward to all the tournaments I planned to fight in and I’m disappointed they’ve been postponed, but I have more time to be even better prepared for my next fight.”

JUNIOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Steven Navarro (Los Angeles, Kalifornia) 16-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior National Championships & Nemzeti PAL; 2018 Junior National Championships; 2017 Prep Open & Western Regional Open

Navarro was training in Colorado Springs to prepare for international competition in Bulgaria, but the trip was cancelled two days before Navarro and his teammates were scheduled to depart.



“As a member of the USA Boxing Junior Team, I look forward to every fight / torna, because it could be my last. So it was very heartbreaking when I was notified that our fights in Bulgaria and future international fights were cancelled due to this pandemic. I continue working as hard as I do on a regular basis: waking up at 5 in the morning, running 5-6 miles in nearby hills, of course wearing my mask. I come home to take my online classes from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., which gives me a 2-hour nap before heading to my private gym. I am the only person who trains at my gym every day at 4:30 p.m. Once I get to the gym, I begin stretching for 3 forduló (3-minute rounds), shadow box for 5-7 forduló, then I hit five varieties of punching bags (3 fordulóban minden). Afterwards, I work mitts (5-8 forduló) where I focus on different movements and situations that could possibly happen in a fight. I often hit the double-end bag and speed bag for 3 forduló. I finish my boxing training with 15 min. of jump rope.

“I train on a daily basis for 2 hours with my father/coach Refugio Navarro. This pandemic is a bit of a gamble due to not having access to sparring. I do tend to ‘move’ with my father once every week, but the experience is different. Once finished, I head to my grandparents’ house (only one block away from my home) to do my strength and conditioning. I do wear a mask and gloves when working out there. My grandfather is a bodybuilder and has his gym setup in his garage. I work-out with my grandfather for a good hour, constantly disinfecting all equipment, to wrap-up my day. I work with what I have, which is a blessing. Boxing isn’t a season sport, you must stay ready all year for anything, and that’s what I continue to do as I strive for greatness.”

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Texas), 14-year-old bantamweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Eastern Regional



Chavez is a first-year member of the Junior High Performance Team and her inaugural training camp in Colorado Springs was pushed back.

“Adapting to this new lifestyle hasn’t been the easiest. I’m thankful I have my family, as we’ve been going on daily runs and workouts at parks. My family understands the importance of my athleticism and staying fit, which is why we continue to motivate each other during this tough time. I’m not sure when our lives will return to normal, which is why I’m still prepared at all times.

“The things I’m looking forward to most at camp in Colorado Springs is meeting other junior females on the team, as well as learning the different styles they bring. I also look forward to creating bonds between my new teammates and coaches from across the nation.”

Unhappy birthday coming up for undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Szólj hozzá!

WORCESTER, Mass. (Április 15, 2020) – Even in his wildest dreams, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KO) never could have ever imagined that his 24th születésnap, later this month, would fall smack in the middle of a worldwide health pandemic

When he turns 24 Április 28th, Ortiz figured he’d be preparing for training camp with a spring fight date set, likely defending his WBC Youth World title of fighting for a regional belt of some sort.

He certainly didn’t think boxing would be banned around the world, gyms closed by a state mandate, and people wearing facemasks and plastic gloves like they’re in a Sci-Fi movie. És, to boot, his job as a licensed carpenter ended closed shop last Friday. Like everybody else in the Bay State.

Ortiz is basically self-quarantined at home, although he’s still running, edzés, eating well and doing everything else to maintain decent shape. Not elite boxing shape, bár, which simply isn’t possible under these restrictive and trying times.

Instead of sparring, he’s shadow boxing, jumping rope has replaced pad-work with his trainers, Rocky Gonzalez ésCarlos Garcia, and now his living room serves as hisedzőterem.

Times have been dramatically altered, valóban, even celebrating birthdays, which Jamaine fully understands and accepts.

“I don’t think my birthday will be any different,” Ortiz said. “I usually spend it alone with my mother and daughter (4-year-old Amira) and this year probably won’t be any different. I won’t be able to get in a whole bunch of sparring rounds that I usually ask for (nevető) as presents from some of my friends.“

Szerencsére, bár, Ortiz was able to fight this past February 28 in his first action in six months, headlining a CES Boxing-promoted card at home in Worcester, Massachusetts, in which he registered an impressive second-round stoppage of Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KO), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

Ortiz, presently rated No. 16 az Észak-amerikai Boksz Szövetség által (NSBS), aspires to attend medical school after he hangs up his gloves for good, to become a doctor/researcher. He reads a lot about medicine, especially holistic treatments, and he believes that he may have already had the coronavirus.

“Five weeks before my last fight,” he explained, “I was in the hospital with a temperature of 104.5. Just about everybody I knew was sick, my grandmother had pneumonia. I never really get sick. I had a flu shot for seven years without an issue. I developed a cough, too. I felt like I was going to die. I can’t say with certainty I had coronavirus (there was no test available then), but I feel like I may have had it.”

Ortiz will be ready for the night the ring bell will finally sound again. “I hope to be fighting again in July or August, de, no matter when boxing returns, I’ll be ready to go.

“This is a serious, contagious disease. People should use common sense: wash your hands, stay separated by six feet, and stay at home, especially the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Don’t take any unnecessary risks or panic, either. This isn’t the end of the world!"

NEW YORK – április 14, 2020 – This week’s installment of the digital podcast seriesSHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY features heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who recently recovered from COVID-19, and promoter Dmitriy Salita in an interview about life in quarantine and the effect the virus has had on the sport of boxing. Több, Hall of Fame analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood joins this week’sRevenge: The Rematchessegment to discuss Azumah Nelson vs. Jesse James Leija II, Gerald McClellan vs. Julian Jackson II, and Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Frankie Randall II. Click the following link to listen to the full episode, https://s.sho.com/3bkvFp1.

Excerpts from the episode:

On COVID-19 and its effect on the sport of boxing…

Szó – “It’s a really unpredictable environment right now. Boxing is an international sport. Now more than ever, fighters come to the U.S. from all over to train and fight. It’s really important that the whole world heals so that things can go back to normal.”

Wallin – “This virus is very serious. People are dying – people from the gym have died. I didn’t have many symptoms when I had it, but it spread to my mother’s boyfriend who is a diabetic and he was very ill. When you are home, don’t just stay on the couch. You have to come up with ideas to keep yourself busy and do something.”

On staying in shape during quarantine…

Wallin – “I am trying to make the best of the situation, and I can do a lot with what I have now. It’s working alright. I do some boxing punching on the wall and lots of shadow boxing.”

On Salita Promotions’ Train Like a Boxer YouTube Series…

Szó – “We were thinking of ways to keep connections between the fighters and the fans. Everyone is stuck at home, no one can go to work and it’s important to stay healthy and active. We thought we could let the fans know about what the fighters are doing at home and keep communication between everyone going.”

On what’s next for Wallin…

Szó – “In the fight with [Tyson] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Vladimir] Klitschko and [Deontay] Wilder –in the first fight. Otto is a world-class fighter, and hopefully we get back to business and he can show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world.”

On Chavez vs. Randall II…

Farhood – “I think it was a sign Chavez was getting to the end, he was only 31 but he had 90 fights and I think Randall got him at the right time. Watching Randall in both fights boxing so well reminded me a bit of Buster Douglas against [Mikrofon] Tyson. This guy didn’t give you anything to think he could do something like this – just boxing beautifully. I thought Randall probably deserved the rematch decision by a point, but it was a very close fight.”

The weekly SHOWTIME BOXING podcast features Raskin and Mulvaney diving deep into the world of boxing and SHOWTIME boxing events. New episodes are released on all major podcast platforms every Monday, including Radio.com.

CONTENDERS CLOTHING LAUNCHES FIGHTING FOR FIGHTERS FUND – ALL PROCEEDS TO GO DIRECTLY TO PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS!

Szólj hozzá!
FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND
Las Vegas, NV. (Április 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

“While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

“We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.”

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Ezenkívül, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund.

Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters.

“We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Ha Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fighters’ family for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.”

If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at:
https://contendersclothing.com/pages/contenders-fighting-for-fighters-fund

If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to:

A remarkable boxing journey like no other 1972 Olimpiai aranyérmes “Cukor” Ray Seales

Szólj hozzá!
(Ray Seales is in the front row, second in from the left)



Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Április 9, 2020) — Imagine being the lone boxer from your country to capture an Olympic gold medal, only days after the infamous Munich massacre. Now imagine also having won a remarkable 338 a 350 amatőr mérkőzések, having fought a trilogy as a professional with “Csodálatos” Marvin Hagler, being declared legally blind in both eyes (having entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. pickup a six-figure medical bill), regaining sight in one eye, then working as a teacher of autistic students for 17 év.

“Cukor” Ray Seales has truly lived a surreal life, to say the least, and he’s still involved in boxing at the age of 67, as a successful coach of amateur boxers in Indianapolis.

Born in Saint Croix, Egyesült Államokon kívül. Virgin Island as one of eight children in a family whose father was a boxer there as a member of the U.S. Army team, Seales started boxing at the age of nine. “I have three brothers and we always beat the crap out of each other,” he spoke about his start in boxing. “Learning how to box, for me, was all about fighting to be the first to eat. I had gotten hit in my left eye playing dodgeball and my uncle, who was stationed at Ft. Lewis (Tacoma, WA), told my mother there was a special doctor there who could help with my eye. My father was stationed all over and in 1964, amikor ... voltam 12, my mother moved us to Tacoma, Washington.

“I had boxing in my system. I went with my brothers to the Downtown Tacoma Boys Club, which was only one block from our home, and my mother could watch me walk from our house to the gym and back. I was the first from there to win a Golden Gloves title. I wanted to be a winner and finished with 14 (bajnok) jackets. I couldn’t speak English. I knew Spanish and spoke Spanish and English together. The first word I said in English was box. We used to fight three or four times a day and we built the Tacoma Boxing Club. I went on to have a 338-12 amateur record and I’ve been in boxing ever since.”

Seales developed into a champion, taking top honors at the 1971 National AAU and 1972 National Golden Gloves championships. Évesen 19, Seales enlisted in the U.S. Légierő, but his mother made some calls so Ray would be able to compete in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Németország.

She succeeded and the rest, mint mondják, is history. And when he came home from the Olympics, he was told that there was no need for him to report to the U.S. Légierő, because he had done enough in terms of service as the only American boxer to win a gold medal.

A 1972 Olimpia, viszont, was overshadowed by the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, as well as a West German police officer at the Olympic Village by terrorists on Black September.

“I had just turned 20,” Seales remembered. “Boxing was heavy when we went there. Some of my family, my coach from Tacoma, and Tacoma teammate (and 2-time U.S. Olimposzi)Davey Armstrong were in Germany. I didn’t know anything at first. I had to get the attention of my parents to let them know not to go there, because there were terrorists with sub-machine guns in the Olympic Village. I was the only American boxer left to fight.”

Seales defeated Bulgarian Angjei Anghhelov, 5-0, in the light welterweight championship to capture an Olympic gold medal, the only member of the U.S. team to do so. His teammates included Armstrong, Duane Bobick, and Olympic bronze medalists Jesse Valdez, Marvin Johnson és Ricardo Carreras.

Sugar Ray Seales’s dedication to USA Boxing is second to none,” mondott Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni igazgató. “His pride, patriotism, and devotion to helping our next generation of champions is what makes him such an inspiring figure.”

Seales turned pro in 1973, winning an 8-round unanimous decision over Gonzalo Rodriguez Tacoma. “Sugarman” won his first 21 pro harcol, until he lost a 10-round decision to 14-0 middleweight prospect and future Hall of Famer Marvin Hagler. Két harcol később, Seales fought Hagler in Tacoma to a 10-round draw (99-99, 99-99, 98-96).

“Everybody wanted a shot at the Olympic gold medalist,” Seales explained.” I went to Boston and we fought in a TV studio (WNAC). It was freezing in there. I was shivering when I went into the ring, Marvin came out dripping sweat. I knew I was losing after seeing that, but I hung with him and went the distance (10 forduló). I was having management problems and three months later I fought Hagler again, only this time at home in Tacoma. I beat him but it ended in a 10-round draw. He knows I beat him!”

Seales completed his trilogy with Hagler, but it was five years later, when Hagler was 42-2-1 and avoided by most of the world’s top middleweights. “I was the USBA (United States Boxing Association) and North American Boxing Federation (NSBS) middleweight champion and Hagler needed to win a title to get a world title shot,” Seales noted. “I lost our third fight in the first round, but that’s the only thing shown on television in our three fights. We were two left-handers, but he switched to right-handed, and he caught me with a hook. I got paid and they bought him a world title fight.”

Seales has coached two different amateur teams in Indianapolis during the past 11 év, nyerő 10 Golden Gloves team championships, and he’s still in charge in Indy of Team IBG.

After he retired in 1984 after suffering detached retinas in both eyes, Seales was introduced in Las Vegas to Sammy Davis, Jr. (az alábbi képen), who paid Seales’ $100,000 medical bill for his damaged eyes. Davis had lost his left eye in a 1952 car accident



“I’m a teacher,” Seales concluded. “I see the way that so many boxers want to fight likeFloyd Mayweather. Their head is tilted, they can’t throw a jab. I teach them to have the right foot behind the left (for a right-handed boxer), and to walk in straight, not tilted or peaking. Heel toe, heel toe every time you pivot is your stance.

“My advice for the boxers who hope to compete in the 2020 Olympics is to focus on what you’re doing and listen to how to get it done. What I really want to do is to coach the USA Olympic Boxing Team 2024.”

Thomas and Campbell will watch the SHOWTIME replay and react to the fights in real time, feature special guest interviews with principal participants from the bouts (harcosok, oktatók, referees and promoters) and take questions from fans while the bouts replay on the network.

“The greatest fight I’ve ever covered,” said Al Bernstein, the International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst. In a career that spans more than 40 év, including calling Hagler-Hearns, Bowe-Holyfield I and the Vazquez-Marquez trilogy, Bernstein says the first Corrales-Castillo war was the best. “This was Hagler-Hearns times three because it lasted so much longer. It was fought at a such an extraordinary skill level and to me that is what made it so special.”

The fights scheduled to air in April include:

Corrales-Castillo I (Május 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10) – After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds in a WBC and WBO lightweight unification bout, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from két knockdowns in the 10th to stop Castillo and etch his name in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and losing a point for spitting the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. Corrales continued to unload on a defenseless Castillo, forcing referee Tony Weeks to halt the blazing action.

Corrales-Castillo II (Október 8, 2005, Castillo KO 4) – Castillo, who did not make the 135-pound weight limit, making the contest a non-title bout, avenges an earlier loss to the WBC and WBO Lightweight World Champion Corrales with a one-punch, fourth-round knockout. Castillo consistently outworks Corrales and lands the harder punches in a more one-sided bout than their first affair. Castillo staggers his opponent with a right hand in the third round that sends him stumbling backward across the ring. He then scores a finishing knockdown with a left hook in the fourth that puts Corrales flat on his back.

Ayala-Tapia I (Június 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA Bantamweight Title by the scores of 115-114 és 116-113 kétszer. As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala, causing a momentary skirmish.

Ayala-Tapia II (Október 7, 2000, Ayala W 12) – In a rematch of 1999’s Fight of the Year, the action between the heated rivals does not disappoint. Viszont, the outcome is the same as their first meeting, with Ayala winning via controversial unanimous decision. Mayhem ensues as the decision is announced and an incensed Tapia is ushered from the ring by security.

Matthysse-Molina (Április 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11) – Fighting in the night’s co-main event, Matthysse steals the show with a spectacular 11th-round knockout over Molina in 2014’s Fight of the Year. The Argentine, then ranked No. 1 in the world at 140 font, is hurt in the first and dropped in the second and fifth rounds. But Matthysse comes back with knockdowns in the eighth, 10th és 11th rounds to turn back a determined bid by Molina.

Bey-Molina (Július 19, 2013, Molina KO 10) – In one of ShoBox: The New Generation’s most unforgettable rounds, Molina comes back from the brink of certain defeat to dramatically knockout then-unbeaten Mickey Bey. Heading into the 10th és egyben utolsó forduló, Molina was trailing on the three judges’ scorecards by 90-81, 89-82 és 88-83.

KÖZELÜL ÉS SZEMÉLYES AZ 10 A TIME KICKBOXING VILÁGBAJNOKJA, CAITLIN FORAN, ELŐZTE PROFI BOKSZI DEbüTÉJÉT

Szólj hozzá!
Ezzel a pandémiás lezárással gyakorlatilag az egész világon teljes erővel, sok harcot már töröltek, a legnagyobbtól, mint például Anthony Joshua Kubrat Pulev ellen, egészen sok kistermi rendezvényig.


Bár a lezárás egyértelműen mindenkit érint, aki szeretett sportunkban részt vesz, ezek jutottak eszembe, akik a profi boksz bemutatkozásukra készültek, mint a mai áldozat, sajnálom vendég, Caitlin Foran, akinek április 25-én kellett volna debütálnia Orkney-ben.


Caitlin tízszeres kickbox világbajnok, nagy teljesítmény valakinek, aki még mindig igazságos 19 éves kor, lássuk be, hogy ilyen fiatalon bármilyen sportágban ilyen magas státuszt elérni, az nagy teljesítmény, és kétségtelenül a kiterjedt küzdősportban szerzett tapasztalata a javára válik majd, ha véget ér ez a járvány, és profiként debütál..


Valójában abban az örömben volt részem, hogy találkozhattam Caitlinnal még márciusban egy Barrow-in-Furness-i rendezvényen, ahol Paul Peerst támogatta, amikor kihívta, és megverte, A nicaraguai Milton Arauz a Professzionális Boksztanácsnak (PBC) Nemzetközi cím, és mindig a profi debütálásának szánta, de ezt a jelenlegi helyzet miatt az év végére halasztották úgy döntöttek, hogy inkább interjút szerveznek vele.


Elég a gofrimból, ismerjük meg kicsit jobban ezt a csodálatos tinisztárt.




(GDC) Szia Caitlin!, köszönjük, hogy időt szánt néhány kérdés megválaszolására. Az első kérdésem az, hogy megértettem, hogy Ön egy többszörös világbajnok kick boxer, mesélne egy kicsit olvasóinknak kick-box karrierjéről?




(CF) Szóval elkezdtem kickboxolni 2008 nyolc évesen, akkoriban a kickboxot sok más sporttal és tevékenységgel zsonglőrködtem, de idővel a figyelmem csak a kickboxnál ragadt, és ez lett az életem..


Természetesen nem tartozom azok közé az emberek közé, akiknek tehetségük lenne a sporthoz. nem voltam rugalmas, nem volt önbizalmam, de az egyetlen dolog, ami a mai napig átvitt, az az elszántság.


Egy szigeten élve nem tudtunk annyi versenyre eljutni, mint más szárazföldi klubok, ami azt jelentette, hogy tudtuk, hogy valóban extra erőfeszítéseket kell tennünk, hogy pótoljuk a tapasztalat hiányát..


Szintén egy nagy családból származom, ahol anyám egyedülálló szülő volt 5 a gyerekek azt jelentették, hogy ritkán tudtam elmenni versenyezni, és nem igazán kezdtem el rendesen versenyezni, amíg be nem szereztem a fekete övemet. 2011.


Ezután általában havonta egyszer elkezdtem versenyezni, az első nagy verseny a WKA skót bajnokság volt Glasgow-ban, ahol 2x aranyat nyertem., ez volt az első nagy önbizalmam, és gyakrabban versenyeztem, több skót címet, valamint brit és európai bajnoki címet nyerve..


Ekkor kaptam meghívást az első világbajnokságomra 2013 Olaszországban, ahol bronzéremmel távoztam.


Mindig is jobban szerettem a pontharcot, amikor versenyeztem, ami inkább karate stílus, 'kezdés stop’ harci stílus, de a második prágai világbajnokságomon 2014, Volt egy nő, aki nem harcolt a gyűrűjéért Folyamatos szakasz, ezért megkérdezték, hogy vállalnám-e a harcot.


Soha nem utasítottam vissza a küzdelmet, ezért felvettem a harcot, és végül megnyertem azt, valamint két másikat, így az első három világbajnoki címemmel és a ringharcok új szerelmemmel távoztam..


-tól 2014 hogy 2017 További hét világbajnoki címet nyertem különböző országokban.


Által 2016/17 a kickbox-karrierem nagyon felfelé ívelt, és arra számítottam, hogy hamarosan profi leszek, végén azonban 2017 az edzőm, Ryan Reffell sajnos átment, ami véget vetett a kickbox karrieremnek.


(GDC) Mi befolyásolta, hogy kick-boxról profi bokszra váltson??


(CF) Ahogy korábban említettem, Soha nem voltam természetes hajlékony ember, ezért a kickboxban a lábaimat túlnyomórészt erőteljes testes rúgásokhoz használták..


Amikor még Ryannel edzettem a Nemesis Kickboxing részeként, végén a 2015 úgy döntöttünk, egyre jobban vagyok a kezemmel, és elkezdtünk gondolkodni azon, hogy áttérjünk a bokszra.


Ez arra késztette Ryan-t, hogy hétfőn este elkezdje a bokszórákat, valamint a hét folyamán a kickbox órákat.


Felajánlották az első harcomat abban a szeptemberben 4 nappal az UKBC pehelysúlyú nemzetközi bajnoki címére. Megnyertem a küzdelmet, és megvédtem a visszavágón abban a decemberben.


2017 amikor tényleg elkezdtem többet a bokszra koncentrálni és kevésbé a kickboxra, és volt még két harcom, licenc nélküli pályafutásom utolsó küzdelme az Öt Nemzet címmérkőzése volt áprilisban 2017 ami a rekordomat hozta 4-0-0.


Azt hittem, akkor véget ért a bokszkarrierem, amíg Paul Peers be nem költözött Orkney-be 2018 és felvette a kapcsolatot a Facebookon keresztül, ami aztán újra beindította az edzésemet, mivel nagy érdeklődést mutatott az ökölvívásom iránt, és hatalmas segítség volt abban, hogy visszaszerezzem a sport iránti szeretetemet, és megmutatta, hogy hisz bennem, amitől jobban bíztam magamban és sikerült magamat szereznem. újra rendesen edzeni, mielõtt idén januárban aláírom a profi szerzõdésemet.


(GDC) Április 25-én kellett volna bemutatkoznia a profi bokszban Orkney-ben, nyilvánvalóan a COVID-19 világjárvány miatt átütemezzük, szóval először is, hogy haladtak a felkészülésed?


(CF) Igen, pusztító volt, amikor mindez elkezdődött, de ügyelek arra, hogy a lehető legaktívabb maradjak a napi futással és otthoni gyakorlatokkal, kihasználva az otthoni kevés helyet..


(GDC) A kormány elrendelte-e a zárlatot, hatással volt-e az Ön előkészületeire??


(CF) A bezárás előtt hetente legalább egyszer-kétszer részt vettünk a klubban, és megkezdtük az együttműködést Lee Mcallisterrel az Assassin's bokszában Aberdeenben, hogy az Orkney Boxing Clubs harcosait összekeverjük az övéikkel, hogy hétvégenként néhány sparringot lehessen végezni..


Eddig csak egyszer sikerült, rossz idő és nem biztos, hogy hajók indulnak, de a bemutató előtt többet terveztünk..


(GDC) Amikor véget ér a zárlat és kihirdetik az új dátumot, az ellenfél állítólag Carly Mackenzie, sokat tudsz róla?


(CF) Eredetileg Carly Mackenzie-vel kellett megküzdenem, de az ellenfelem a közelmúltban Professional Boxing Council-ra váltott (PBC) Jamie Bates Wallis nemzetközi ezüstbajnok. Nem sokat tudok Jamie-ről, hogy őszinte legyek, de amit láttam, ő egy erős ortodox bokszoló, erős támadással és éles védekezéssel..


Úgy vettem fel a küzdelmet, hogy tudtam, hogy ez nagy kihívás lesz, különösen azért, mert az első visszavágóm volt 3 év.
Ő bajnoknak bizonyult, tehát ahhoz, hogy bajnok legyek, bajnokokat kell legyőznöm.


(GDC) Eltávolodva a mai karrieredtől, ki a kedvenc bokszolója, férfi vagy nő, és miért?


(CF) A kedvenc bokszolóm a mai napig Katie Taylor. Óriási szerepet játszott abban, hogy a női ökölvívás a mai szintre jusson, és igazi inspirációt jelent minden sportoló számára, mivel megmutatta, hogy minden akadály leküzdhető, ha nagyon akarsz valamit..


(GDC) Ugyanebben a szellemben, ami minden idők kedvenc küzdelme, és miért?


(CF) Nagyon nehéz kiválasztani a kedvenc küzdelmet, de ennek Katie Taylor legutóbbi küzdelmének kell lennie Christina Linardatou ellen, mivel folytatta győzelmi rekordját, és a WBO szuperkönnyűsúlyú világbajnoki címét felvette egyre növekvő teljesítménylistájára.. Általában Taylor beleragadt a harcba, lövés után lövés. Azonban ezúttal okosan bokszolt, és nem pazarolta az energiát.


(GDC) Köszönöm, hogy időt szánt kérdésem megválaszolására, végre van valaki, akit szeretnél megemlíteni a közelgő debütálással kapcsolatban?


(CF) Szeretnék köszönetet mondani szponzoromnak, Gary Sutherland a GSRI-nél, Steven Logie az Erőnél 101 amiért formában tartott engem és Paul Peerst mindazért, amit az elmúlt másfél évben tett azért, hogy visszaszerezze az önbizalmamat, és újra fellángolja a boksz iránti szeretetemet.. Szeretnék egy kiáltást adni minden régi csapattársamnak a Nemesis Kickbox Akadémián és a Nemesis Boxing Gym-en. Nélkülük nem lennék ott, ahol ma vagyok.
