Heavyweight Factory Team, Including Newest Signee Ivan Dychko, Provide Thousands of Meals to Miami Victims of Hurricane Irma

Efterlad en kommentar
This past weekend in Miami, Heavyweight Factory Gym Founder, Kris Lawrence, and a group of their prominent fighters, which included recently signed two-time Olympic Super Heavyweight Bronze Medallist Ivan Dychko, opened their hearts to the victims of Hurricane Irma by holding a free barbecue.
Over two 10-hour shifts på lørdag og Søndag, the group cooked and served over 2500 pieces of chicken, 1000 sausages, 800 racks of ribs, as well as baked beans and potato salad, to a hungry community still feeling the effects of the devastating hurricane.
Standing 6′ 9″ tall, Kazakhstan’s Dychko was an imposing sight at first, but quickly warmed the hearts of locals with his warm smile and tireless efforts to help. Despite the oppressive heat, he and former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe, who also volunteered his time, posed for hundreds of pictures between servings.
“Ivan was amazing,” said Heavyweight Factory Director of Boxing, Henry Rivalta. “He hung in there while the sun was brutal. His desire to stay with us and make sure the neighborhood was fed was just awesome.”

Well-known for being very giving to the needy, Lawrence is active with several charities and, every Christmas, loads a 40-foot container with toys and distributes them to children on the streets of his native Liberty City.

“Giving back to the community gave our team a chance to join together and provide nice warm meals, which have been hard to find, due to the circumstances of Hurricane Irma,” continued Rivalta.
Dychko, a heavily decorated amateur, was also a two-time world amateur championships silver medallist. He and trainer Derek Santos are hard at work at the Heavyweight Factory for his highly anticipated professional debut on September 28 in Kentucky.

Brooklyn, NY (September 4, 2017) – Retired boxer and NY-11 congressional candidate Boyd Melson and 2017 Boxing Hall of Fame inductee turned promoter Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield will visit two New York care centers this week.

Tirsdag, September 5, Melson and Holyfield will spend time with children at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). The world’s oldest and largest private cancer center, the MSKCC’s devoted more than 130 years to exceptional patient care, innovative research and outstanding educational programs. The visit takes place at the main campus, placeret på 1275 York Avenue in New York, NY.

Two days later, the pair heads to St. Albans Community Living Center in Queens, NY. Run by the Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System (VA NYHHS), St. Albans Community Living Center has 386 beds and provides extended care, primary care and housing for homeless veterans. The center also offers counseling and training for patients looking to return to independent living.

Melson, an Army Public Affairs Officer who comes from a military family, is looking forward to teaming up with a boxing legend to spend time with those in need.

"I have differing emotions here,"Sagde Melson, who hopes to unseat Rep. Dan Donovan in the 2018 election. “My inner child is extremely excited because I remember the first fight I watched was Evander Holyfield against Riddick Bowe. My father would talk about Evander and his warrior heart every time he brought up boxing, so he became my first favorite fighter.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be doing this with somebody like Evander. I sincerely thank him for going with me to visit Sloan Kettering and my fellow Veterans that served in our nation’s armed forces but are now homeless. Between my parents, two siblings and myself, we have about 65 years of military service. Helping the military is extremely important for me and I’m also on the Advisory Board for the non-profit Stop Soldier Suicide.

For the Sloan Kettering visit, I’ve spent the past week trying to emotionally prepare to see innocent children suffering from cancer. These children are the truest of warriors with more bravery than anybody. They’ll be my greatest teachers tirsdag. Children are the key to our future and veterans that represented this great country will forever have my gratitude.”

Ruben Villa Receives Local Award for Community Building Efforts

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE
ORANGE, Calif. (August. 10, 2017) – Ruben Villa (7-0, 4 KOS), one of boxing’s brightest, young talents in the featherweight division, recently received an award for his community building presence in his hometown of Salinas, Calif.
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors recognized Team Villa Boxing, a non-profit gym, for creating a safe space for low-income youths in East Salinas. Through grants, Team Villa Boxing offers free boxing and physical fitness lessons to select youths.
“I was really surprised that we were honored with the award because we only found out about it the day before,” Villa said. “We are obviously very happy about it, but we don’t do it for the recognition. It’s all about helping the community. There’s not much opportunity out here so we have to give the kids additional chances to succeed.”
“Ruben cares about his community and wants to be a positive role model to the local kids,” said Danny Zamora, Villa’s manager. “The gym offers a safe and productive outlet for young kids and keeps them from getting into trouble.”
For those that are unaware, Salinas has an ongoing struggle with drug related gang violence. The Villa family, in an effort to pull local kids away from a life of crime, formed the gym three years ago. When not conducting training camps in Riverside, Calif., Villa stays sharp at the gym that bears his name.
Villa received the honor as part of the “National Night Out” event hosted by the City of Salinas.
The public awareness event, which drew thousands to the Salinas Soccer Complex, aimed to strengthen community relations with law enforcement and other public safety personnel such as firefighters and first responders.
Villa marks his return to the ring on a Thompson Boxing card Fredag, Syv. 22 fra Doubletree Hotel i Ontario, Calif. An opponent will be announced at a later date.
Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

RAGING BABE BRUNCH Vender tilbage 16. SEPTEMBER; PROCEDURER TIL FORDELE PRICHARD COLON FONDEN

Efterlad en kommentar
LAS VEGAS – Juli 24, 2017 – September, 16th er en kæmpe dag for boksning i Las Vegas, med Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vender mod Gennady “GGG” Golovkin i en must-win-konkurrence for kongen af ​​mellemvægtsdivisionen. Da bokseens elite stiger ned på Las Vegas Strip, Raging Babes of Boxing samles igen til netværk, grine og binde over brunch.

Årets begivenhed afholdes på Mandalay Bay's Border Grill, med udsigt over Mandalay Bays strand, og de ubegrænsede mimoser, som brunchdeltagere har forventet over fire års Raging Babe-begivenheder. Vigtigere, deltagerne får mulighed for at mødes og netværke med nogle af boksens øverste ledere, de vigtigste spillere bag kulisserne og inspirerende kvinder fra hele branchen.

Begivenheden fortsætter med at vokse, med over 50 kvinder, der deltager i den sidste brunch “New York, New York,” i 2016, og Raging Babe-grundlægger Michelle Rosado forventer fuldt hus til septemberbrunch. Rosado slog sig ned “Skinne lyst” til begivenhedens tema. “Hvem skinner lysere end kvinder i boksen,” sagde Rosado. “Denne begivenhed er vokset til at være så meget mere end en flok kvinder, der deler et måltid. Erfaringer, talenter og historier om hjertesorg og triumf deles ved disse begivenheder. De er kommet til at betyde meget for de kvinder, der arbejder utrætteligt for at fremme denne sportsgren.”

Som tidligere begivenheder har gjort, Shine Bright ærer en af ​​boksens mest indflydelsesrige kvinder med Luminary Award. “Jeg kan ikke vente med at dele vores æres historie,” sagde Rosado, der angav, at prisvinderen snart blev annonceret.
Shine Bright vil gavne en sag tæt på Rosados ​​hjerte – inddrivelsen af ​​bokser Prichard Colon. “Prichard har gjort nogle store fremskridt i sin opsving, men faktum er, at den terapi, han har brug for, lægeudgifterne, den støtte, som hans familie har brug for, slutter ikke. Hans familie har ofret alt for at hjælpe ham med at blive bedre, og han ofrede alt for at underholde os i ringen.” Lyserød, sammen med boksechef og iværksætter Livvy Cunningham, oprettede Facebook-gruppen, “Bede 4 Prichard,” som har været et sted for familien Colon at finde opmuntring og støtte via beskeder fra boksefans over hele verden. En procentdel af provenuet fra Shine Bright vil være til fordel for Prichard Colon Foundation, som finansierer de store månedlige forsikringspræmier, der er vigtige for Colons genopretning.

I was told that the theme for this year’s conference is “Suit Up, Step Up.” Well I have a great deal of internal fire I am happy to share with members of our nature’s future attending the conference. I thank the love in this universe dearly for giving me another opportunity to use my abilities hopefully offering a perspective that helps at least one person want to suit up and step up. If I was independently wealthy, I would wish my life would be me traveling around to students each and every day hoping to help them lift their own lives up.”
