USA BOXING HEAVYWEIGHT ADRIAN TILLMAN IN U.S. ARMY
COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Septembre 3, 2019) – No. 2 rated American heavyweight Adrian Tillman, who is also ranked No. 5 as a light heavyweight, is not only representing his country as a member of USA Boxing’s 2019 Men’s Elite team, he’s also serving in the U.S. Army at the same time.
Tillman, 24, is able to do both, because he’s an active soldier enrolled in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), dans lequel les athlètes qualifiés ont la possibilité de s'entraîner à plein temps pour les Jeux olympiques.
“As of right now,” Tillman said, “my focus is on the Olympics. I love the military and I love boxing. So, I’ll just see where life takes me. But, as of now, 2020 Tokyo, Japon, is the one thing on my mind.
“Training (à Colorado Springs) with the Elite team has definitely elevated my game all around. The coaches and trainers are always teaching me. It’s a non-stop learning environment with the team.”
Born in Riverside, Californie, Tillman started boxing in 2008, because he wanted to lose weight and learn how to defend himself and his siblings as he was about to enter high school.
The heavyweight with a stiff jab is a three-time National PAL champion (2018, 2017 et 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, cependant, may be a little surprising, because it isn’t about winning medals, trophies and belts.
“My greatest accomplishment was being able to qualifying two weight classes (lightweight and heavyweight) for the Olympic Trials.”
Tillman has traveled throughout South America and Europe. He is with his Team USA teammates training in England before going straight to Yekaterinburg, Russie, to compete in the 2019 Elite Men’s World Championships, Septembre 7-21.
“Gaining a medal at the World Championships is important to me because," il a noté, “not only am I representing my country, I’m also representing the Army and my family.”
When he’s in the ring, Tillman adjusts to his opponent, brawling or boxing equally, whatever it takes to win.
Adrian Tillman is a true patriot who also happens to wear boxing gloves. Whether he qualifies as a heavyweight or light heavyweight, all that matters to him is boxing for Team USA at the 2020 Jeux olympiques.

Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KOs) is seeking to climb back into the championship ranks and must go through Angulo before reaching them. The 36-year-old, who was born in Chicago and now lives in Brooklyn, won the middleweight world title against Hassan N’Dam in 2012. He successfully defended it three times. He is coming off a no-decision against former super middleweight champion Caleb Truax on April 13 in an FS1 PBC Fight Night main event. He had taken the first two rounds on all three judges’ scorecards before the action was halted when a deep cut over Truax’s right eye, caused by an accidental head butt, brought an end to the fight and resulted in a no-decision.
“It looks like the Caleb Truax fight wasn’t meant to be, but this fight against Angulo is an important fight for me to establish myself in this division,” Saïd Quillin, who was originally scheduled to rematch Truax on August 31, before Truax withdrew due to an Achilles injury. “I’m ready to go 12 rounds right now. I just have to stay ready and stay in shape because we’ve had a great camp where we were able to build on certain things. This is what was meant to be and I’m going to make the most of it with a great performance on September 21.”
Angulo (25-7, 21 KOs) enters the match against Quillin after a knockout victory over Evert Bravo on April 20. The 37-year-old veteran, who was born in Mexicali, Mexico and now lives in Coachella, Californie, has been in with some of the top boxers and sluggers during a career that has seen him in numerous exciting bouts against the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara amongst others.
“I am looking forward to showing my fans the best Alfredo Angulo on September 21,” Saïd Angulo. “I have been working hard towards this opportunity. This is a chance to move closer to a world title and with hard work and the support of my team, I’m going to win that title.”
Représentant sa ville natale de Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert(12-0, 4 KOs) has begun to make a name for himself showing off tremendous skills across his first 12 victoires pro. The 22-year-old turned pro in 2019 after an impressive amateur career and most recently dominated Alberto Mercado on his way to a unanimous decision on FOX in June.
“I’m dedicating this bout to the fight against childhood cancer,” said Colbert, who was inspired after recently being introduced to a young fan who has cancer. “I plan on going in to Rabobank Arena and doing what I do best on September 21. I never make predictions for my fights, but I’m always looking to dominate and if the knockout comes then it comes. I have a job to do and I just have to stay focused on the man in front of me. It’s going to be ‘Prime Time’ sur Septembre 21 so that fans will want to make sure to tune-in for this one.”
Combats de Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexique, Beltran (33-7, 22 KOs) will return to action after dropping a decision to former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa last November. The 30-year-old challenged Roman Martinez for a super featherweight title and lost by split decision in September 2012.
“I’m very excited for this opportunity to fight Chris Colbert on FS1 and FOX Deportes,” dit Beltran. “I have fought the best 130 pounders in the world – Rocky Martinez, Gamboa, Mickey Roman and I have challenged for the world title twice. This is the type of fight I need on national TV to get myself back in contention. I’m very serious about winning and happy to have my training camp in Los Angeles with my cousin, former world champion Ray Beltran, who is helping me prepare for victory.”
Williams (18-0, 13 KOs) extended his unbeaten record in April with a split decision victory over Justin DeLoach in Las Vegas. The 35-year-old from Los Angeles previously won a decision over David Grayton in September 2018.
A longtime contender, Dulorme (24-3-1, 16 KOs) earned a majority draw in his last fight against former world champion Jessie Vargas last October. The 29-year-old had previously dropped a narrow decision to top contender Yordenis Ugas in August 2017. That defeat came after a streak where the Puerto Rican fighter won eight of nine fights, with his only loss during that stretch coming in a title fight against Terrence Crawford.
At just 18-years-old, Ramos (10-0, 9 KOs) scored knockouts in his first nine fights since turning pro last May. The Casa Grande, Arizona-native most recently went the distance for the first time in his pro career, winning a shutout unanimous decision over Kevin Shacks in June on FOX.
Fighting out of Paterson, New Jersey, Edwards (12-3, 3 KOs) won his first 11 pro fights including victories over then unbeaten fighters Azriel Paez and John Delperdang. The 29-year-old most recently lost a decision to undefeated Mykquan Williams in May.

The Dominican-born fighter residing in Florida has taken down a slew of contenders and top prospects including Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach, Marcos Hernandez and most recently, Jorge Cota on FS1 in April.
Russia’s Murtazaliev(16-0, 13 KOs), who now resides in Oxnard, California and is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014. The 26-year-old has delivered knockout victories over Elvin Ayala and Bruno Leonardo Romay in 2019.

RAGING BABE PRÉSENTE: PELTZ BOXING CÉLÉBRATION DU 50E ANNIVERSAIRE OCTOBRE 4 AT 2300 ARÈNE
Atif Oberlton représentant City of Brotherly Love jusqu'aux Championnats du monde
COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Août 22, 2019) - Il y a une nouvelle force montante sur la scène internationale de la boxe et son nom est Atif Oberlton, un poids lourd léger de Philadelphie, qui a pour mission de se faire un nom dans la boxe.
Oberlton participera aux championnats du monde hommes élite, Septembre 7-21, à Ekaterinbourg, Russie.
Le manque de confiance n'est pas un problème pour le boxeur de 21 ans qui prétend, «C’est très important pour moi de bien faire et de gagner aux Mondiaux, parce que je sais pertinemment que, dans mon coeur, Je suis le meilleur combattant du monde. Aussi, Je suis nouveau sur la scène internationale, il est donc temps pour moi de donner une part de ce qu’ils ont manqué. »
Oberlton a commencé la boxe à l'âge de neuf ans, bien qu'il n'ait commencé la compétition qu'après avoir été 14, parce qu'il était le seul garçon de sa famille, et son père voulait qu'il apprenne à se défendre. Comme tant de ses coéquipiers, il est tombé amoureux de la boxe.
Au cours des cinq dernières années, Oberlton a remporté des médailles d'or au 2018 et 2016 Golden Gloves tournoi national, 2018 Qualification élite de l'Est et 2014 Jeux olympiques nationaux juniors. Il a également été vainqueur aux USA vs. Pays-Bas Dual.
«Ma plus grande réussite à ce jour est de rejoindre Team USA et d’être là où je suis, parce que pendant des années et des années on m'a refusé, et me voici aujourd'hui à la première place où j'appartiens. Je suis un combattant de premier plan, donc je le mérite, et je mets un travail de premier ordre, aussi"
Overlton a profité de l'entraînement à Colorado Springs aux États-Unis. Olympic Training Center, où il a montré une amélioration dès le premier jour, perfectionner ses compétences pour devenir un boxeur complet.
«Le conditionnement joue un grand rôle dans mon amélioration; voir aussi différents styles, et obtenir le meilleur travail m'a élevé,»Il a parlé de la formation en tant que membre de Team USA. «Je brise toujours de nouvelles barrières sur la route de la grandeur et ceci (Au monde) en est une autre que je cherche à percer. »
En plus de représenter son pays, Oberlton est un fier combattant de Philly qui continue le long, riche tradition de boxe dans la ville de l'amour fraternel, qui a produit les goûts deBernard Hopkins, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Mike Rossman,James Shuler, Eugène Hart et tant d'autres grands combattants au fil des ans.
«Ma ville est connue pour sa grande histoire de boxe et je porte« The City of Philadelphia »sur le dos,»A ajouté Oberlton. «Dans quelques années plus tard, Je me vois mener la prochaine vague de boxeurs de Philly. En réalité, Je sens que je suis la vague, maintenant, en ce moment même. Tout le monde me regarde. Je les rendrai tous fiers, des générations anciennes et jeunes.
«Je n’ai pas été en Russie et j’ai hâte d’y aller. C'est toujours bon de voir le monde. J'aime toujours retourner d'où je viens et essayer de convaincre les autres de voir le monde, car il est beaucoup plus grand que notre quartier. »
Oberlton est comme un caméléon sur le ring, changeant constamment et s'adaptant à son adversaire. «Je considère mon style comme de l'eau,»A-t-il conclu. "C'est ondulé parce que je m'adapte pour gagner, et je peux battre n'importe quel style. Je peux déjouer n'importe qui, esprit de combat pour la matière. La boxe est mentale à 80%, 20-pour cent physique, et j'ai tout.
«Mon objectif à court terme est de remporter l'or aux Mondiaux et tout le reste menant aux Jeux olympiques. Et gagner pas moins que l'or aux Jeux olympiques. Mon objectif à long terme est d'être le plus grand combattant à avoir jamais parcouru l'univers. »
La confiance n'est définitivement pas un problème pour Atif Oberlton.
