Arjan Iseni training during the pandemic

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Април 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, анд 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

Пратите УСА Бокинг на друштвеним мрежама да бисте били у току са тренинзима и вестима о Олимпијском квалификационом тиму. (Пратите УСА Бокинг на друштвеним мрежама да бисте били у току са тренинзима и вестима о Олимпијском квалификационом тиму., Мичиген), 26-year-old middleweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold medal performances: 2019 Национални Голден Рукавице; 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, мада, 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 (МИ), 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.”

Осхае Јонес, (Толедо, Охајо), 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 Национални ПАЛ. International: 2020 Strandja Tournament & 2019 Панамеричке игре

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. Моја породица / 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, Њујорк), 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, НИ. He and his father built a small ring in their backyard (see picture below) 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. Надајмо се, 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, Хаваји), 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 National Junior Olympics & Национални Голден Рукавице

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 (Лос Анђелес, Калифорнија) 16-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior National Championships & Национални ПАЛ; 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 / турнир, 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 ујутру, 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 п.м. Once I get to the gym, I begin stretching for 3 метака (3-minute rounds), shadow box for 5-7 метака, then I hit five varieties of punching bags (3 метака сваки). Afterwards, I work mitts (5-8 метака) 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 метака. 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 (Далас, Тексас), 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.”

Стиже несретан рођендан за непоражену лагану перспективу Јамаине "Тхе Тецхнициан" Ортиз

Оставите коментар

ВОРЦЕСТЕР,, Маса. (Април 15, 2020) - Чак иу његовим најлуђим сновима, непоражени Светски савет за бокс (ВБЦ) Омладински светски шампион у лакој категоријиЈамаине „Техничар“ Ортиз (13-0, 7 КОс) никада нисам могао да замислим да је његов 24тх рођендан, касније овог месеца, пала би усред светске здравствене пандемије

Кад се окрене 24 он Април 28тх, Ортиз је мислио да ће се припремити за тренинг камп са одређеним пролећним датумом борбе, вероватно бранећи своју титулу омладинског првака ВБЦ-а борећи се за неку врсту регионалног појаса.

Сигурно није мислио да ће бокс бити забрањен широм света, теретане затворене државним мандатом, и људи који носе заштитне маске и пластичне рукавице као у научно-фантастичном филму. И, да се покрене, његов посао лиценцираног тесара завршио је затворену радњу прошлог петка. Као и сви остали у држави залив.

Ортиз је у основи сам у карантину код куће, иако још увек трчи, тренинг, добро се хранио и радио све остало да би одржао пристојну форму. Није елитни боксерски облик, мада, што једноставно није могуће у овим рестриктивним временима.

Уместо спаринга, он је бокс у сенци, конопац за скакање заменио је рад подметача са његовим тренерима, Роцки Гонзалез иЦарлос Гарциа, а сада његова дневна соба служи као његоваТеретана.

Времена су се драматично променила, zaista, чак и славе рођендане, које Јамаине у потпуности разуме и прихвата.

„Мислим да мој рођендан неће бити другачији,”Рекао је Ортиз. „Обично га проводим сам са мајком и ћерком (4-годишња Амира) и ове године вероватно неће бити другачије. Нећу моћи да уђем у читаву гомилу спаринг рунди које обично тражим (лаугхинг) као поклони неких мојих пријатеља. “

Срећом, мада, Ортиз је могао да се бори прошлог фебруара 28 у својој првој акцији после шест месеци, насловница ЦЕС-ове картице промовисане у боксу код куће у Ворцестеру, Масачусетс, у којем је регистровао импресивну заустављање у другом кругу мексичког специјалца за нокаут„Луди“ Луис Роналдо Цастилло (22-6, 17 КОс), бивши шампион ВБЦ ФЕЦОМБОКС у лакој категорији.

Ортиз, тренутно оцењено бр. 16 Северноамеричке боксерске федерације (НАБФ), тежи да похађа медицинску школу након што заувек спусти рукавице, да постане лекар / истраживач. Много чита о медицини, посебно холистички третмани, и верује да је можда већ имао коронавирус.

„Пет недеља пре моје последње борбе," Објаснио је, „Била сам у болници са температуром од 104,5. Скоро сви које сам познавао били су болесни, моја бака је имала упалу плућа. Никад се стварно не разболим. Имао сам грипу седам година без проблема. Развио сам кашаљ, такође. Осећао сам се као да ћу умрети. Не могу са сигурношћу да кажем да сам имао коронавирус (тада није био доступан тест), 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, али, 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 – April 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. Више, 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…

Реч – “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…

Реч – “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…

Реч – “In the fight with [Тајсон] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Владимир] Klitschko and [Деонтаи] 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 [Микрофон] Тајсон. 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!

Оставите коментар
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
Лас Вегас, НВ. (Април 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. Додатно, 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. Уколико 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:

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 Олимпијске златне медаље “Шећер” Ray Seales

Оставите коментар
(Ray Seales is in the front row, second in from the left)



ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Април 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 од 350 аматерске утакмице, having fought a trilogy as a professional with “Величанствен” Марвин Хаглер, being declared legally blind in both eyes (having entertainer Sammy Davis, Јр. pickup a six-figure medical bill), regaining sight in one eye, then working as a teacher of autistic students for 17 године.

“Шећер” 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, У.С. 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. Луис (у Тацома, ВА), told my mother there was a special doctor there who could help with my eye. My father was stationed all over and in 1964, when I was 12, my mother moved us to Tacoma, Вашингтон.

“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 (шампион) 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. У доби од 19, Seales enlisted in the U.S. Ратно ваздухопловство, but his mother made some calls so Ray would be able to compete in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Немачка.

She succeeded and the rest, како кажу, 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. Ратно ваздухопловство, because he had done enough in terms of service as the only American boxer to win a gold medal.

The 1972 Олимпијске игре, међутим, 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. Олимпијски)Давеи Армстронг 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, Марвин Јохнсон и Ricardo Carreras.

Sugar Ray Seales’s dedication to USA Boxing is second to none,” рекао Цхрис Цуглиари, Директор УСА Алумни бокса. “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 у Тацома. “Sugarman” won his first 21 про туче, until he lost a 10-round decision to 14-0 middleweight prospect and future Hall of Famer Marvin Hagler. Две туче касније, 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 метака). 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 (НАБФ) 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 године, победа 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, Јр. (на слици испод), 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 likeФлоид Маивеатхер. 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.”

SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS will air on three consecutive Friday nights beginning April 10, у 10 п.м. ЕТ / ПТ на СХОВТИМЕ. The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

The April slate of SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS will be highlighted by three Fight of the Year winners, which include some of the most heart-pounding and unforgettable fights in boxing history.

During each SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS телевизијска емисија, Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell, the network’s versatile combat sports analysts, will host a live companion episode of their digital talk show MORNING KOMBAT на Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. 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 (борци, тренери, 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 године, 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 (Мај 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 два knockdowns in the 10тх 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 (Октобар 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 (Јун 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 и 116-113 двапут. As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala, causing a momentary skirmish.

Ayala-Tapia II (Октобар 7, 2000, Ayala W 12) – In a rematch of 1999’s Fight of the Year, the action between the heated rivals does not disappoint. Међутим, 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 (Април 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11) – Fighting in the night’s co-main event, Matthysse steals the show with a spectacular 11тх-round knockout over Molina in 2014’s Fight of the Year. The Argentine, then ranked No. 1 in the world at 140 фунти, is hurt in the first and dropped in the second and fifth rounds. But Matthysse comes back with knockdowns in the eighth, 10тх и 11тх rounds to turn back a determined bid by Molina.

Bey-Molina (Јул 19, 2013, Molina KO 10) – In one of СхоБок: 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 10тх и финални круг, Molina was trailing on the three judges’ scorecards by 90-81, 89-82 и 88-83.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH 10 TIME WORLD KICKBOXING CHAMPION CAITLIN FORAN AHEAD OF HER PRO BOXING DEBUT

Оставите коментар
With this pandemic lockdown in full force virtually world-wide, many fights have been already been cancelled, from the biggest, such as Anthony Joshua versus Kubrat Pulev, right through to many small hall events.


Whilst clearly the lockdown is affecting everyone involved in our beloved sport, it made me think of those that had been preparing for their professional boxing debut, such as today’s victim, sorry guest, Caitlin Foran, who was due to debut in Orkney on the 25th April.


Caitlin is a ten time Kickboxing World Champion, quite an accomplishment for someone that is still just 19 година, let’s face it to achieve such a high status in any sport at such a young age is quite an accomplishment and without doubt her extensive combat sports experience is going to benefit her when this pandemic is over and she makes her pro debut.


I actually had the pleasure of meeting Caitlin back in March at an event in Barrow-in-Furness, where she was supporting Paul Peers when he challenged, and beat, Nicaraguan Milton Arauz for the Professional Boxing Council (ПБЦ) International title, and always intended to cover her pro debut, but with that put back until later in the year due to the current situation decided instead to arrange an interview with her.


Enough of my waffle, let’s get to know this amazing teen star a little better.




(GDC) Hello Caitlin, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for us. My first question is I understand you are a multi-World Champion Kick Boxer, can you please tell our readers a little about your Kick Boxing career?




(CF) So I started kickboxing in 2008 at the age of eight, at the time I was juggling kickboxing with lots of other sports and activities but over time my attention just stuck with kickboxing and it became my life.


I certainly wasn’t one of these people that had a talent for the sport. I wasn’t flexible, I had no confidence, but the one thing I did have that has carried me through to this day is determination.


Living on an island we weren’t able to get to as many competitions as other clubs on the mainland could which meant we knew we had to really put in the extra effort to make up for the lack of experience.


Also coming from a large family where my mother was a single parent to 5 children meant I rarely was able to get away to compete and didn’t really start competing properly until I got my black belt in 2011.


I then started competing usually once a month with the first big one being the WKA Scottish championships in Glasgow where I won 2x golds, that was my first big confidence booster and I went on to compete more often winning more Scottish titles as well as British and European.


I then got invited to my first world championships in 2013 in Italy where I came away with a bronze medal.


I always preferred points fighting when I was competing, which is a more karate style, ‘start stop’ style of fighting, but at my second World championships in Prague in 2014, there was a woman without a fight for her ring Continuous section so I was asked if I would take the fight.


I’ve never been one to turn down a fight so I took the fight and ended up winning it as well as two others so I came away with my first three World titles and new love for ring fighting.


Од 2014 на 2017 I went on to win seven more World titles in various countries.


По 2016/17 my kickboxing career was really taking off and I was looking at turning professional sometime soon, however at the end of 2017 my coach Ryan Reffell sadly passed which put an end to my kickboxing career.


(GDC) What influenced you to switch from Kick Boxing to Professional Boxing?


(CF) As I mentioned previously, I have never been a naturally flexible person so in kickboxing my legs were predominantly used for powerful body single kicks.


While I was still training with Ryan as part of Nemesis Kickboxing, at the end of 2015 we decided I was getting better with my hands and started thinking about switching to boxing.


This lead Ryan to start boxing classes on a Monday night as well as the kickboxing classes through the week.


I was offered my first fight that September with 4 days notice for the UKBC featherweight international title. I went on to win the fight and defended it in a rematch that December.


2017 was when I really started to focus more on boxing and less on kickboxing and had two more fights, with the last fight in my unlicensed career being a Five Nations title fight in April 2017 which brought my record to 4-0-0.


I thought my boxing career had ended then, until Paul Peers moved to Orkney in 2018 and got in touch via Facebook which then kickstarted my training again as he showed great interest in my boxing and was a massive help in getting my love for the sport back and showed that he believed in me which made me more confident in myself and got myself back to training properly again ahead of signing my professional contract in January this year.


(GDC) You were due to be undertaking your professional boxing debut in Orkney on the 25th April, obviously this is being rescheduled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so firstly how have your preparations been going?


(CF) Да, it was devastating when all this started but I am making sure to keep as active as I can with daily running and home exercises making use of the little space I do have at home.


(GDC) Has the Government ordered lockdown had an effect on your preparations?


(CF) Prior to lockdown we were getting sparring in at least once or twice a week at the club and had started our partnership with Lee Mcallister at Assassin’s boxing in Aberdeen in order to mix Orkney Boxing Clubs fighters with theirs for some sparring at weekends.


We only managed this once so far with weather being bad and boats not certain to run but were planning more in the lead up to the show.


(GDC) When the lockdown ends and the new date is announced, your opponent is stated to be Carly Mackenzie, do you know much about her?


(CF) I was originally due to fight Carly Mackenzie however my opponent recently changed to Professional Boxing Council (ПБЦ) International Silver Champion Jamie Bates Wallis. I don’t know a great deal about Jamie to be honest but from what I’ve seen she is a strong orthodox boxer with a strong offence and sharp defence.


I took the fight knowing it would be a challenge especially being my first fight back in 3 године.
She’s proved to be a champion so in order for me to become a champion I must beat champions.


(GDC) Moving away from your career to date, who is your favourite boxer, male or female, and why?


(CF) My favourite boxer to date has got to be Katie Taylor. She has played a massive part in getting Women’s boxing to where it is today and is a real inspiration to any athlete out there as she has shown that any obstacle can be overcome if you really want something.


(GDC) In the same vein, which is your all time favourite fight, and why?


(CF) It is so hard to choose a favourite fight but one has to be Katie Taylor’s most recent fight against Christina Linardatou as she continued her winning record and added WBO Super-Lightweight world title to her ever growing list of achievements. Usually Taylor would be getting stuck into the fight, firing shot after shot. However she kept to the outside this time boxing smart and not wasting energy.


(GDC) Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, finally is there anyone you would like to mention with regard to your upcoming debut?


(CF) I would like to give thanks to my sponsor, Gary Sutherland at GSRI, Steven Logie at Strength 101 for keeping me in shape and Paul Peers for everything he has done over the last year and a half to get my confidence back up and reignite my love for boxing. I would also like to give a shout out to all of my old teammates at Nemesis kickboxing Academy and Nemesis Boxing Gym without them I wouldn’t be where I am today.

ЊУЈОРК (Април 1, 2020) - Државна боксерска кућа славних у Њујорку (НИСБХОФ) и Прстен 8 заједнички данас најавили партнерство за успостављање фонда ЦОВИД-19 за помоћ боксерима и боксерском особљу Њујорка и Њу Џерсија који су у финансијским потребама током пандемије коронавируса.

Било које боксерско особље (боксери, тренери, посечени људи, итд) који су независни уговарачи и живе у Њујорку или Њу Џерсију могу се пријавити за новчану помоћ попуњавањем обрасца захтева објављеног наввв.НИБокингХОФ.орг иввв.Ринг8тв,са, или затражите образац нафигхтпублицист@гмаил.цом да се директно пошаље е-поштом.

Сви кандидати морају имати лиценцу (НИСАЦ, ЊСАЦ или САД бокс) а обрасци се морају послати е-поштом председнику НИСБХОФ-а Бобу Дуффију (депцомисх@аол.цом) или га позовите (1.516.313.2304) са потребним информацијама.

„Теретане су затворене, а бокс је суспендован на неодређено време,”Рекао је председник НИСБХОФ-а Боб Дуффи. „Већина тренера бокса, резачи и друго боксерско особље су независни извођачи, тако да тренутно немају никаквих прихода током ове пандемије. Имају породице за издржавање, закупнина за плаћање, храну за стављање на сто, и друге критичне трошкове. Желимо да им помогнемо оснивањем овог фонда. Нисмо у могућности да сваком подносиоцу захтева дамо велику накнаду,  али смо у могућности да обезбедимо малу уплату да им привремено мало помогнемо. Обавезали смо се да ћемо ово урадити за месец април, у најмању руку, а затим ћемо поново посетити продужење плаћања док се бокс не врати, све док у овом фонду има новца. То је права ствар!"

„Звони 8 наставља наше циљеве да помогнемо боксерима и боксерским људима у Њујорку током ове кризе,”Прстен 8 председник Чарли Норкус, Јр. додао. „То је наша мисија од самог почетка. Задовољство нам је што смо се придружили Кући славних у Њујорку у овом подухвату. “
