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

Deixe um comentário
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 no sábado e Domingo, 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 Setembro 28 in Kentucky.

Melson and Holyfield.jpeg


Para Divulgação Imediata

Brooklyn, Nova Iorque (Setembro 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.

Na Terça-Feira, Setembro 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, localizado em 1275 York Avenue in New York, Nova Iorque.

Two days later, the pair heads to St. Albans Community Living Center in Queens, Nova Iorque. 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,", Disse 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 na terça-feira. 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

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA
LARANJA, Califa. (Agosto. 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, Califa.
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 Sexta-feira, Sete. 22 from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Califa. An opponent will be announced at a later date.
Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

RAGING BABE BRUNCH RETORNA 16 DE SETEMBRO; RENDA PARA BENEFICIAR A PRICHARD COLON FOUNDATION

Deixe um comentário
LAS VEGAS – Julho 24, 2017 – Setembro, 16th é um grande dia para o boxe em Las Vegas, com Saul “Canelo” Alvarez enfrentando Gennady “GGG” Golovkin em disputa imperdível pelo rei da divisão dos médios. Enquanto a elite do boxe desce na Las Vegas Strip, os Raging Babes of Boxing mais uma vez se reunirão para a rede, rir e criar laços durante o brunch.

O evento deste ano será realizado no Border Grill do Mandalay Bay, com vista para a praia de Mandalay Bay, e as mimosas ilimitadas que os participantes do brunch esperam ao longo de quatro anos de eventos Raging Babe. Mais importante, os participantes terão a oportunidade de conhecer e interagir com alguns dos principais executivos do boxe, os atores mais importantes nos bastidores e mulheres inspiradoras de todo o setor.

O evento continua crescendo, Com mais 50 mulheres participando do último brunch “Nova Iorque, Nova Iorque,” em 2016, e a fundadora da Raging Babe, Michelle Rosado, espera casa cheia para o brunch de setembro. Rosado decidiu “Brilhar” para o tema do evento. “Quem brilha mais que as mulheres do boxe,” Disse Rosado. “Este evento cresceu para ser muito mais do que um bando de mulheres compartilhando uma refeição. Experiências, talentos e histórias de desgosto e triunfo são compartilhados nesses eventos. Eles passaram a significar muito para as mulheres que trabalham incansavelmente para promover o nosso esporte.”

Como os eventos anteriores fizeram, Shine Bright vai homenagear uma das mulheres mais influentes do boxe com o Luminary Award. “Mal posso esperar para compartilhar a história de nossa homenageada,” Disse Rosado, quem indicou o vencedor do prêmio seria anunciado em breve.
Shine Bright irá beneficiar uma causa próxima ao coração de Rosado – a recuperação do boxeador Prichard Colon. “Prichard fez grandes avanços em sua recuperação, mas o fato é que a terapia de que ele precisa, as despesas médicas, o apoio que sua família precisa, não acaba. Sua família sacrificou tudo para ajudá-lo a melhorar, e ele sacrificou tudo para nos entreter no ringue.” Rosa, junto com o gerente de boxe e empresário Livvy Cunningham, criou o grupo do Facebook, “Orar 4 Prichard,” que tem sido um lugar para a família Colon encontrar incentivo e apoio por meio de mensagens de fãs de boxe em todo o mundo. Uma porcentagem da receita do Shine Bright irá beneficiar a Fundação Prichard Colon, que financia os pesados ​​prêmios de seguro mensais que são essenciais para a recuperação do cólon.

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.”
