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

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 vào thứ bảy Chủ nhật, 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 Tháng chín 28 in Kentucky.

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 vào thứ ba. Children are the key to our future and veterans that represented this great country will forever have my gratitude.

LAS VEGAS – Tháng bảy 24, 2017Tháng chín, 16th là một ngày tuyệt vời cho quyền anh ở Las Vegas, với Saul “Canelo” Alvarez đối mặt với Gennady “GGG” Golovkin trong cuộc thi nhất định phải thắng để giành ngôi vương của hạng cân trung bình. Khi giới thượng lưu quyền anh đổ bộ trên dải Las Vegas Strip, Các em bé cuồng nhiệt của Quyền anh sẽ một lần nữa tập hợp lại thành mạng lưới, cười và gắn kết với bữa sáng muộn.

Sự kiện năm nay sẽ được tổ chức tại Mandalay Bay's Border Grill, với tầm nhìn ra bãi biển của Vịnh Mandalay, và số lượng mimos không giới hạn mà những người tham dự bữa nửa buổi đã mong đợi trong hơn bốn năm sự kiện Raging Babe. Quan trọng hơn, những người tham dự sẽ có cơ hội gặp gỡ và kết nối với một số giám đốc điều hành hàng đầu của quyền anh, những người chơi quan trọng nhất ở hậu trường và những phụ nữ truyền cảm hứng từ khắp ngành.

Sự kiện tiếp tục phát triển, với hơn 50 phụ nữ tham dự bữa nửa buổi cuối cùng “New York, New York,” trong 2016, và người sáng lập Raging Babe, Michelle Rosado, mong đợi một ngôi nhà đầy đủ cho bữa nửa buổi vào tháng 9. Rosado giải quyết “Toả sang” cho chủ đề của sự kiện. “Ai tỏa sáng hơn những nữ quyền anh,” Rosado nói. “Sự kiện này đã trở nên lớn hơn nhiều so với việc một nhóm phụ nữ chia sẻ một bữa ăn. Kinh nghiệm, tài năng và những câu chuyện đau khổ và chiến thắng được chia sẻ tại các sự kiện này. Chúng có ý nghĩa rất lớn đối với những người phụ nữ làm việc không mệt mỏi để phát triển môn thể thao này của chúng ta.”

Như các sự kiện trước đây đã làm, Shine Bright sẽ vinh danh một trong những phụ nữ có ảnh hưởng nhất của làng quyền anh với Giải thưởng Luminary. “Tôi rất nóng lòng được chia sẻ câu chuyện về người được vinh danh của chúng ta,” Rosado nói, ai chỉ ra người chiến thắng giải thưởng sẽ sớm được công bố.
Shine Bright sẽ mang lại lợi ích cho sự nghiệp gần gũi với trái tim của Rosado – sự phục hồi của võ sĩ quyền Anh Prichard Colon. “Prichard đã đạt được một số bước tiến lớn trong quá trình hồi phục của mình, nhưng thực tế vẫn là liệu pháp anh ta cần, chi phí y tế, sự hỗ trợ mà gia đình anh ấy cần, không kết thúc. Gia đình anh ấy đã hy sinh tất cả để giúp anh ấy khỏe lại, và anh ấy đã hy sinh mọi thứ để chúng tôi giải trí trên võ đài.” Hồng, cùng với quản lý quyền anh và doanh nhân Livvy Cunningham, đã tạo nhóm Facebook, “Cầu nguyện 4 Prichard,” vốn là nơi để gia đình Colon tìm thấy sự động viên và ủng hộ qua tin nhắn từ những người hâm mộ quyền anh trên toàn thế giới. Một phần trăm số tiền thu được từ Shine Bright sẽ mang lại lợi ích cho Tổ chức Prichard Colon, tài trợ cho khoản phí bảo hiểm hàng tháng khổng lồ cần thiết cho sự phục hồi của Colon.
