CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE SERIES DEBUT FEATURING HISTORY-MAKING FEMALE WORLD CHAMPION CLARESSA SHIELDS
Salita Promotions, boxing’s leading promotions company, announced today the launch of their new YouTube series “Train Like a Boxer,” featuring Company Founder Dmitriy Salita and Olympic Gold Medalist and multi-weight world champion Claressa Shields, as well as other premier fighters under the Salita banner including Otto Wallin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Kolbeinn Kristinsson.
Starting with a new webisode Jumatano hii, Aprili 1, 2020, on the Salita Promotions and Claressa Shields YouTube channels, “Train Like a Boxer” will seek to motivate people to remain active during quarantine by providing fitness advice and boxing-related routines perfectly suited for individuals with minimal equipment and limited space to exercise.
Before becoming boxing’s newest promotional powerhouse with an impressive stable of world champions, top contenders and blazing new prospects, Dmitriy Salita spent years training in some of the most recognized gyms in the sport’s history as a New York State Golden Gloves champion and professional top contender.
“During this worldwide Corona crisis, this series will help boxing fans with their physical and mental state by engaging with our fighters in these fun and healthy activities,” said Salita. “A boxer’s workout is perfect for these tough times because it is done in the isolation of training camp. Our fighters want to give back and connect with fans worldwide during this ‘isolation training camp’ period and soon together we are all going to enjoy the great victory of overcoming Covid 19.”
Three-division and current WBC and WBO Super Welterweight world champion Shields, who saw her bid to become the first boxer in the four-belt era to be crowned an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions against also unbeaten IBF Super Welterweight Champion Marie-Eve Dicaire officially postponed last week, says she hopes these videos help everyone stay physically and mentally fit during these trying times.
“With all that the world is going through right now, I want to help people in any way I can to feel better while staying at home until this pandemic is over,” said Shields. “These videos — even 20 kwa 40 minutes a day — can help. Let’s stay strong together!"

Below are excerpts from the interview with Espinoza:
On SHOWTIME Sports’ interim content plan…
Espinoza – “It is therapeutic to look forward to and make plans for things that are more reflective of normal life for us, absolutely. Our goal is to fill that gap with a lot of the stuff we have. We have a deep library of documentaries and we are definitely surfacing a lot more of the archive bothJuu ya mahitaji and we will look at it on linear more regularly.”
On what lies ahead when boxing resumes…
Espinoza – “It’s going to be a wild ride. There’s a lot to be made up. There are a lot of fighters that need fights to happen, and I think we could be in for a pretty interesting period of time where there’s a lot of activity in a relatively short window … I think we’re going to see an action-packed, jam-packed schedule whenever we return, whether it’s in three, six or nine months – and we may see people taking a different tact on taking fights.”
On what fight you wish you could go back in time to attend live …
Espinoza – “Chavez vs. Haugen on February 20,1993 for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City… It wasn’t a great fight or great opponent but it’s my pick because of the legendary status that fight has within Showtime’s hallways. Kulikuwa na 132,000 Watu katika mahudhurio, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [na] you had Don King getting robbed on his way from the airport to the hotel as soon he got into town. There were so many things around the atmosphere. It was one of those legendary events I would’ve loved to be at for the atmosphere.”
The weekly SHOWTIME BOXING podcast features Raskin and Mulvaney diving deep into the boxing and SHOWTIME boxing events. New episodes are release in all major podcast platforms every Monday, including Radio.com.
Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions
MANCHESTER, Conn. (Machi 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 Kos) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.
The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.
Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.
”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”
Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre’Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.
Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.
“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 kwa 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”
“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerPaul Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (meneja) Jackie Kallen na (promoter) Lou DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”
Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.
“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”
Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, kuandaa 45-13 rekodi amateur, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.
“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, sasa hivi, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”
And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

Kuchukua Usawa kwa Umri wa Dijitali
na: Nini Andz
WhatsApp inachukua saa 10 asubuhi… ”Hi, hii ni mazoezi yako, kwa sababu ya coronavirus mazoezi yamefungwa hadi taarifa nyingine ".
Ikiwa wewe ni kama mimi, na unahitaji mkimbiaji huyo wa hali ya juu kuweka mwili na akili yako, basi ujumbe hapo juu ulikuwa mazingira ya siku ya mwisho. Kusahau karatasi ya choo, Ninahitaji uzito wangu!
Hiyo ni kwa ajili yangu, mchezaji wa mazoezi…vipi kuhusu wakufunzi wa kibinafsi, wapiganaji wa MMA, wapambanaji, mabondia ambao hupata riziki yao kwa kila kitu ambacho Covid-19 analazimisha tusifanye?
Taaluma hizi zinaweza kuwa sio "huduma muhimu" kama vile madereva wa gari za wagonjwa na maduka makubwa, lakini wataalamu hawa ni huduma muhimu kwa siku zijazo kwa akili, mwili, na roho ya kila mtu, haswa wakati wa janga linazidi kuwa muhimu na siku, hata kwa saa.
Habari njema ni…mawasiliano ya dijiti ya sanaa ya mwili sio jambo jipya. Video za mazoezi, mieleka na mapigano ya MMA yote yamekuwa ya digitized kuanzia matangazo ya Runinga, YouTube na karibu kila mahali unaweza kupata skrini.
Hatua ya kwanza ni kujiuliza, umekuwaje ukitoa huduma zako mpaka sasa?
Sasa, unaweza kuiga hiyo mbele ya kamera?
Sasa, unaweza kutumia kompyuta na kuweka vitu kwenye wavuti ya wanachama?
(angalia hii https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/memberhip-management-software)
Hey! Umepata biashara!
Karibu huduma yoyote ya msingi ya elimu, hata ya mwili inaweza kuwa digitized na kuwasilishwa. Je Si, haitakuwa nzuri kama vitu halisi na hapana, huwezi kutarajia wateja wako kuwa na vifaa ambavyo mazoezi hufanya…
…Lakini hapa kuna sehemu ngumu na hapa kuna tofauti kati ya kampeni iliyofanikiwa na ile ambayo sio…
Jambo la kwanza kuelewa ni, watu watalipa kwa thamani, hasa katika enzi hii wakati matumizi yanapaswa kufanywa vizuri. Basi hebu tufanye vizuri
Chaguo A: Toni chini. Vifaa haipatikani, kwa hivyo badilisha mpango wako wa mafunzo ili usihitaji vipande hivyo vya kupendeza. Jiulize, ni nini unaweza kubadilisha au kutoka kwa kawaida na bado upate athari unayotafuta?
Stairmaster inaweza kubadilishwa na ngazi, uzito unaweza kubadilishwa na mawe (kwa uangalifu).
Ukitengeneza video zako za mafunzo na vifaa hivi vilivyopigwa chini, kuifanya kuwa kitu ambacho kila mtu anaweza kufanya, kwenye bajeti yoyote, umejipatia mshindi.
Hii pia ni fursa ya kuchanganya katika huduma zingine zinazofanya kazi pamoja kama lishe wakati wa kutengwa. Kiwango kisicho na mwisho cha fursa, labda hata zaidi ya kawaida.
Chaguo B: Upsell – Watu hawana vifaa hivi, kwanini usifikishe kwao. Duka zote zinateseka. Fikia duka hizi na viwanda na ugome mpango ambao utasaidia kuwezesha mauzo kwao.
Kwa upande mwingine, unatangaza mpango maalum wa punguzo kwenye vifaa bora. Wakati wote unaanza kupata alama za tume kwenye mauzo haya. Ushindi wa kweli kwa kila mtu. Ikiwa unahitaji msaada na uuzaji wako wa dijiti, soga na hawa watu.
Kumbuka wasikilizaji wako, idadi ya watu na jinsi inauzwa.
Najua hizi ni aina mpya za umri wa mbinu za uuzaji kwa anayeenda chini kwenye mazoezi ya ardhi, hizi ni nyakati ambazo tunapaswa kujifunza kubadilika na kubadilika…au kutoweka.
