I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.

 

 

 

Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Keyshawn Davis is Pushing His Way to the Top Norfolk, Կամք. native is 2020 Olympic hopeful for Team USA

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Լափ. (Հունիս 8, 2018) Overcoming adversity is something many people deal with throughout their lives, and it makes that person who they are. For Keyshawn Davis, he has been overcoming adversity from the beginning, and he is now on his way to the top of the boxing world.

 

 

 

Davis began boxing when he was just nine-years-old, after his mother took him and two of his brothers to the gym. They were constantly fighting each other and fighting in school. After about an hour of watching two kids around his age spar his mother asked if they wanted to sign up. The next day Keyshawn and his two brothers were in the gym training.

 

 

 

Այդ ժամանակից ի վեր, Davis has won numerous titles and is now on his first elite high-performance squad following his win at the 2017 ԱՄՆ բռնցքամարտի ազգային առաջնությունը. Following that win, he has made Colorado Springs, Լափ. a second home, as he spends a great deal of his time training at the United States Olympic Training Center.

 

 

 

Training for his first year at the elite level began with one of the largest multi-nation training camps USA Boxing has ever hosted. Davis got the opportunity to spar with not only his American teammates, but boxers from Great Britain, New Zealand and Poland. The preparation led to one of his proudest moments of his young career, his first elite international tournament and title at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.

 

 

 

It was a very different experience, being that it was my first time out of the country,” stated Davis. “I really had to get used to the different environment, especially the time difference, as it threw off my sleep schedule at first.

 

 

 

Սակայն, he did not let anything distract him from reaching the top of the podium.

 

 

 

The feeling was just so unreal,” said Davis about his gold medal performance in Bulgaria. “I told myself that this is just one gold and I need to be standing here after every tournament. It was just a great feeling.

 

 

 

Shortly after his winning performance in Bulgaria, Davis was back in the ring representing Team USA on the USA vs. IRL Հյուսիսարեւելյան բռնցքամարտի շրջագայություն. Only fighting in one of the three stops of the tour, Davis made every minute of it count, as he pulled off another impressive victory in front of a large number of American fans.

 

 

 

Սակայն, before the success came struggles.

 

 

 

I am a kid from Norfolk, Կամք. that started with nothing; Just my mother and her five children,” stated Davis.

 

 

 

As life went on, I kept getting better in the ring, but outside the ring was horrible, from anger problems to getting sent to a mental institution,” continued Davis. “I would’ve never thought I would be in the position I am today, so I thank God that he blessed me with all my supporters; from my sisters, Shanice and Shantel Davis, also my brothers, Keon and Kelvin Davis, and of course my mother, Wanda Davis. Without them I wouldn’t be here today. I am a walking miracle and I just want to show the world what Keyshawn Davis really can do.

 

 

 

Helping Keyshawn get past his struggles has been his coach who has been there from the beginning, Kay Korma, ինչպես նաեւ 2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson.

Last year when I was put in the mental home, they were both right there pushing me to get back on track,” Davis stated. “They never gave up on me or doubted me. They always knew what I was capable of, even though I was in a bad place.

 

 

 

Another source of motivation and help came from another teammate, troy Isley, who has been there by his side getting to experience Keyshawn’s first year as an elite with him.

 

 

 

Troy has been a huge help for me during my first year on the elite high-performance squad,” mentioned Davis. “He has been telling me what foods I might need on a trip to help me maintain weight.

 

 

 

When Davis went to Bulgaria for his first international tournament, Troy was there representing Team USA with him. “He told me how he felt his first time fighting internationally, and I just took all his information and used it to my advantage.

 

 

 

Now the goal is to continue training and being successful at the international level. He has hopes of becoming an Olympic Champion in 2020 and being able to give back to his family.

 

 

 

My biggest motivation is just to give my family a better life.

 

 

 

With one gold under his belt, Davis will look for his second international title at the 2018 Chemistry Cup later this month. You can continue to follow his journey to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics through social media via Instagram (@keyshawndavis1) or SnapChat (@key4999).

Anthony “The Magic Man” Tarver Credits USA Boxing for giving him Structure that carried him to top

COLORADO SPRINGS, Լափ. (Մայիս 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Anthony “The Magic Man” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 NC, 22 Նոկաուտով) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair of The Ring magazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.
I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Tarver բացատրեց,. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, ուսուցում, sleep….ամեն ինչ! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 գրառում. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, U.S. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Վասիլի Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 Աշխարհի սիրողական առաջնություններ. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver ասել է. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, չնայած, with a gold-medal professional career.
I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 U.S. Օլիմպիական հավաքականը. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, Jr – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 Ֆիլադելֆիայում, ատամնալից Joaquin Garcia (4-0) ի երկրորդ տուրում.
I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract with Russell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17րդ pro fight, երբ Eric Hardingdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Երկու տարի անց, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 ֆունտ համար ֆունտ կործանիչ է աշխարհում. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.

Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Montell Griffin for the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated by Roy Jones Jr., Ապրիլ 26, 2003 ժամը Foxwoods հանգստյան Կազինո Mashantucket, Connecticut. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 բոլոր երեք դատավորների.
Յոթ ամիս անց, սակայն, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, չնայած, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofThe Ring magazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPN Ուրբաթ Գիշերային Մարտեր հեռուստատեսաին.
I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF champion Գլեն Ջոնսոն (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, Ճակատագրի հեգնանքով, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought for The Ring and IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematch six months later է Memphis, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City to Bernard Hopkins for the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision over Elvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local hero Danny Green, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
Դեկտեմբերին 2013 in Temecula, Կալիֆորնիայի, Tarver knocked out Jonathon Banks (29-2-1) in the seventh round, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world champion Steve Cunningham (28-7) է Newark, Նյու Ջերսի.
Մեջ 2006, Tarver starred as MasonThe LineDixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Այսօր, տարեկան հասակում 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Antonio Tarver, Jr. (5-0 (4 Նոկաուտով), where they live in Tampa, Florida.
I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver նշել է. “What a team! Guys like Diego Corrales իսկ Zab Judah didn’t make that Olympic Team. I gave Մեյվեզեր, Jr. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, Zarim Raheem and the others.
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Florida. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 Միջին Antonio Tarver, Jr. այնտեղ. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited with Jimmy Williams, ով է 90 այժմ, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “ԱՄՆ բռնցքամարտի շրջանավարտների ասոցիացիա,” which was created to champion a lifelong, փոխշահավետ հարաբերություններ ԱՄՆ բռնցքամարտի և նրա շրջանավարտների միջև, –բռնցքամարտիկներ, պաշտոնատար անձինք, մարզիչներ և բռնցքամարտի երկրպագուներ — the Alumni Association connects generations of champions, ոգեշնչելով և վերադարձնելով բռնցքամարտի ԱՄՆ բռնցքամարտի ապագա չեմպիոններին, եւ դուրս ռինգում.

Back to the future with Hall of Famer Virgil Hill

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Ապրիլ 20, 2018) —

Virgil “Quicksilver” Բլուր has gone back to the future, parlaying what he learned as an amateur boxer into a Olympic silver medal, five world titles in two weight class, induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF), and now giving back as a Los Angeles-based boxing coach and invaluable member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

Winning the WBA (Բռնցքամարտի աշխարհի ասոցիացիա) and IBF (Բռնցքամարտի միջազգային ֆեդերացիան) world titles were all big.Hill spoke about his greatest boxing achievement, “But the Olympics come around every four years with only one guy from each country, if that, in each weight class. It’s very difficult. I had competed against some of the best athletes in the world, right here in the United States, preparing to represent our country in the Olympics against the best in the world. We sparred each other at camp. US fighters all have a target on their backs.

 

 

 

 

I fought in 10 different countries that year (1984), but the best Olympics ever was held here in Los Angeles. Half of our team went on to become world champions as pro fighters and three are in the Hall of Fame (Բլուր, Evander Holyfield իսկ Pernell Whitaker). I wasn’t picked to win a medal in my class. I should have won a gold medal but lost in the final (Միջին բաժանում) to a Korean fighter (Shin Joon-Sup, 2-3). Losing was tough but the opportunity to be on the US Olympic Boxing Team was the highlight of my boxing career, even more so than winning my world titles.

 

 

 

 

Hill grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. He watched the Golden Gloves on television and asked his father if he could learn to box. His response was, maybe if we move to a city. “Remember,” Hill noted, “a city for me back then was only 50,000 ժողովուրդ. We did move to Grand Forks and my father asked me if I still wanted to box. He brought me to a local gym when I was eight and I started training right away.

 

 

 

 

After capturing a gold medal at the 1984 Ազգային Golden ձեռնոցներ մրցաշար, Hill went to the USA Boxing training facility, where he learned a lot being around so many different people and boxing styles. Although he’s part Puerto-Rican, Hill is a Native-American who grew up in a predominantly German and Norwegian state (North Dakota).

 

 

 

 

There were not many blacks or Latinos,” Hill admitted. “We grew up poor, but not ghetto poor. I learned a lot. My roommate (at USA Boxing’s training facility) was a 106-pound Puerto-Rican from New Jersey, Jose Lazario. Jose took me for a haircut one day and, when I went back to North Dakota, I had a bounce in my step and people there were all looking at my haircut. Evander Holyfield taught me how to iron. He wouldn’t go with me to the mall unless I ironed my jeans. I sat and listened to know what to expect.

 

 

 

 

Hill completed his amateur career with an incredible 288-11 գրառում, married a woman who was on the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team, Denean Howard (two-time gold and two-time silver medalist), and turned professional November 15, 1984, ատամնալից Arthur Wright in the second round at famed Madison Square Garden.

 

 

 

 

He had moved to Las Vegas to train with legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, եւ նրա օգնական, Freddie Roach. “I was on my own for the first time,” Hill explained. “They were good role models who prepared me to be a pro boxer, as well as for life.

 

 

 

 

Hill fought professionally until 2015, հաղթող 51 Հյուրատետր 58 pro մարտեր, 24 նոկաուտով, with only seven losses. Նա արժանացել է իր առաջին 30 pro մարտեր, including a fourth-round win by technical knockout of Leslie Stewart իր 19րդ pro fight to capture the WBA world light heavyweight title. Hill made 10 successful WBA title defenses, including eight in Bismarck, North Dakota, before losing for the first time as a pro in 1991 to future Hal of Famer Tommy HEARNS.

 

 

 

 

 

Hill later recaptured the WBA world light heavyweight crown and he eventually added the IBF world light heavyweight title, in addition to becoming three-time WBA cruiserweight world champion. He retired in 2007 and then make a one-fight comeback February 28, 2015, ատամնալից Jimmy Campbell in the second round in Bismarck, marking Hill’s final fight.

 

 

 

 

During his remarkable pro career, Hill had a 24-5 (7 Նոկաուտով) world title fight record, including victories over Stewart, Marvin Camel, Adolpho Washington, Lou Del Valle, Donny Lalond, Bobby Czyz, Fabrice Tiozzo (երկու անգամ), Henry Maske and Hill’s 1984 US Olympic teammate, Ֆրենկ Թեյթ (երկու անգամ).

 

 

 

 

Hill remains in boxing as a trainer and occasionally a co-promotes pro-am shows in North Dakota. In Los Angeles, Hill currently trains one pro and nine amateurs. “I love being a trainer,” Hill exclaimed. “There are some special kids, the real athletic ones, but it’s the others that often make it for me. Those who aren’t as athletic and really need to work hard. Once you get a few of the kids working hard, the rest follow in line. This isn’t a democracy; it’s a dictatorship and I push ’em hard. Our LBC has 180 fights a year. I do all the matching and, if they’re in too tough, I top the fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s striving to be better, կարգապահություն, accomplishments and competition.

 

 

 

 

The Elite boxers are moving on to the next level, establishing themselves to make a name and enter the pros. Ninety-five percent of the others aren’t. Boxing is still a poor man’s sport and sometimes the only option for some of these kids have is boxing. And boxing is still a very dangerous, unforgiving sport. The sky’s the limited, good and bad, for these kids. Boxing occupies their time. Some kids need more encouragement, others need to believe more in themselves. This is where they come from and who they become.

 

 

 

 

Not only is Hill giving back as a coach, he’s key member of and spokesperson for the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

I’m happy to be involved,” Hill talked about his back to the future journey in boxing. “It’s about time we had an alumni organization. Only the top three-percent of boxers make it big. It’s great watching everybody mix and mingle at alumni gatherings. This is about respect for each other; it’s a kinship.
