Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. Benefited from sparring with undisputed world lightweight champion Katie Taylor

BOSTON (Şubat 17, 2021) – Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr.  hasn’t made his pro debut yet, but he did get the opportunity to recently spar with undisputed world lightweight championKatie Taylor (17-0, 6 KOs), the 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ireland, who was a 5-time AIBA world champion as an amateur.

The 28-year-old Anderson, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, was supposed to make his pro debut earlier this year in Mexico. He showed up but his opponent tested positive for COVID-19 and their fight was canceled.

Taylor frequently travels from Ireland to Connecticut, where she prepares for fights with her trainerRoss Enamait.    

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Turnuvası, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson benefitted from being a southpaw when his trainerMarc Gargaro, was contacted by Enamait about needing a lefthanded sparring partner for Taylor. “I’ve only sparred with her once,” Anderson said, “but I believe I will be getting more work with Katie at her training camp in the near future. I’ve already been asked back for more sparring.

“In the ring, Katie is patient, keskin, and quick with her combinations. She also doesn’t waste any movements all all. She is very tough and aggressive. Outside the ring, she is very nice, always smiling when talking, and a generous, decent human being.”

There’s nothing better for a young boxer than to train and spar with a world-class athlete, even if it’s a female against a male, the experience in invaluable.

I believe getting experience with a world champion helped me build up my confidence. It definitely opened my mind and eyes to trying new things like different movements and combinations, as well as make sure my defense and foot work was on point. Learning to become better at changing the tempo of combinations I was throwing. Also, realizing the things Katie did during and after sparring, understanding her mentality, and letting me know and see what it takes to be the best in the world, will help me grow big-time as a boxer.

“It is a little different sparring a woman but, dürüstçe, it helped me work on my craft in areas I’ve been trying to improve on. I am still available to give and get good, solid work and effort. It’s expanding my mind, I was still able to pick and choose when to dig hard shots to make sure I was still solidly sparring for her, unlike with guys’ majority of punches are thrown hard.

Ortiz’ managerryan roach yorumladı: “This is a great opportunity for Troy. Anytime you share the ring with a world champion, even sparring, is a great way to elevate your level of confidence. As many know there are a lot of levels to this sport and these opportunities are crucial in building a fighter. I am really proud of Troy. His debut got pushed back, but he’s stayed in the gym and remains positive waiting for his shot. He has a great coach and team at Nonantum Boxing.”

Sparring Taylor may not have erased the disappointment of Anderson’s pro debut being canceled; ancak, the experience will surely make him a better fighter.

“Sparring a world champion was unbelievable,” Anderson concluded. “Just having the opportunity to step foot in the ring with world champion Katie Taylor was amazing. Literally, leading up to the day of sparring, that’s all I could focus on and think about. I was extremely locked in, because I wanted to give Katie Taylor good work and show her that reaching out to my coach Marc was not a mistake, and his words about me were solid. Seeing how Katie is when moving, throwing combinations, and on defense picking and choosing when to be aggressive and not, is unexplainable. It was truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the experience and opportunity to be able to spar with a world champion, Katie Taylor”

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM

Boxing’s top female athletes have no “ev”, no network to showcase their talent

BASIN BÜLTENİ

NEW YORKAs women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, İki kez Olimpiyat altın madalyalı, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “It (boks) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. Her üçü. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.

These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” Lou DiBella dedi, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighterspurses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” adı geçen Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.

It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” adı geçen Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.

This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” dedi Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streamingwomen who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, medya, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for

Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 ABD Boks Vatandaşları, Aralık. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

KOLARODO BAHARI, Tur. (Kasım 23, 2020) – The late, great Hall of Fame boxer Johnny tapia played a significant role in the development of Albuquerque welterweight Sharahya-Taina Moreu, and the 3-division world champion remains a strong influence in her life.

During the COVID-19 pandemic she has been preparing to compete in the 2020 ABD Boks Milli Şampiyonası, Aralık 5-12, Shreveport'taki Shreveport Kongre Merkezi'nde, Louisiana.

Çeper (shown below with his tattooed back to Moreu) helped Sharahya-Taina overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s automobile accident. She was only eight at the time, laying on her mother after the accident, and the first out of the car and onto the highway asking for help.

“At first,” she spoke about her relationship with Tapia, “I was regretful and angry, getting into fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing at 12, took anger management, and became motivated.”

Çeper, who was a 2-time National Golden Gloves champion as an amateur, had a tremendous impact on Moreu’s life, something that will never leave her heart and soul.

“We became like family,” the 21-year-old explained. “At first, o (Herif) didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me really hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Bence, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me for about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Training with her father/coachYoruba Moreu during the pandemic, although it was challenging to find good sparring, hasn’t been as much of a problem as for others because her gym is in the backyard. She hasn’t been in a fight since last December’s Olympic Trials.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring because I’ve gone too long without competition,” Moreu looked ahead to Shreveport. “It’s definitely going to be different, because there are a bunch of new faces coming for the number one spot, which makes it fun and worthy to fight.”

Proud to represent the United States in competition, Sharahya-Taina is proud of her Native American and Puerto Rican heritage, and she’s taken up the cause fighting for women.

“I love to embrace both sides of my culture,” she commented, “representing my Acoma side from my mother and Taino lineage from the Puerto Rican blood in me, and that’s why my name is Sharahya-Taina. Every day is a fight for women. I’m just making it known and clear that we are here to stay. I’m not just fighting for myself. I’m also fighting for my family, ancestors and the next generation of females who choose to pick up a pair of gloves. The goal is not to be just a champ in the ring, but on the outside, çok. "

Moreu has been very successful in her development from youth to the elite division, winning the 2017 Youth National Championships and Western Regional Open, hem de 2016 ve 2017 Youth Open. She’s also been runner-up at the 2018 Elite National Championships and Western Elite Qualifier, plus the 2015 National Junior Olympics.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu is a young woman on a mission. She hopes to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, particularly with her younger brother if they both qualified to be, as she says, “an iconic brother/sister duo in Olympic boxing.”

Boxing started for her when she was 10, training at Lugo Boxing and Fitness in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to that in her native Albany (NY), she went to her uncle’s gym and found a pair of boxing gloves.

“I fell in love with boxing when I found that first pair of gloves,” Brown-El explained. “I first started boxing because, o zaman, my dad didn’t agree with me. I saw a lot of people who didn’t agree with females competing in a male dominated sport, so I wanted to prove those people wrong. I just love boxing because my whole family boxes.”

Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.

“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 Olimpiyatlar, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.

“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, sleep, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”

Sa’Rai Brown-El is on a golden path to stardom. She represents the future!

Idaho amatör boksör Kendra Samargis için bir aile meselesi boks

KOLARODO BAHARI, Tur. (Ekim 26, 2020) – Idaho orta sıklet boksör Kendra (Reeves) Samargis‘ dört yıl önce kilo verme kararı, onu, 2020 ABD Boks Milli Şampiyonası, Aralık 5-12, Shreveport'taki Shreveport Kongre Merkezi'nde, Louisiana.

26 yaşındaki Samargiler için boks, Twin Falls'da kim yaşıyor, gerçek bir aile meselesi. Kocası tarafından eğitildi, Jason, ve iki oğulları, Skyler Bellus (11) ve Riley Marovich (8), ABD Boks'ta. Skyler, aslında, annesinin de savaştığı birkaç turnuvada yarıştı.

“Boksa bir kilo kaybı olarak girdim,” Kendra açıkladı. “Kocam yıllardır boks koçuydu ve hala tüm ekipmanına sahipti.. Garajımıza kurduk ve eğitime başladık. Başta, başlamak yaptığım en kötü şeydi. Dayanıklılık miktarı, dayanıklılık, ve sahip olmam gereken güç gerçek değildi. Zamanla yavaş yavaş muazzam kilo kaybettim, 73-tam olarak pound, ve sporu sevmeye geldim.

“Her zaman kocam tarafından eğitilmenin nasıl bir şey olduğu sorulur. Her zaman gizli bir silahım olduğunu söylerim, benim kadar başarılı olmamı isteyen ve baştan sona beni destekleyen, köşemde olan biri. Ayrıca, turnuvalarda olduğumuz zamanlarda, Büyük bir kavgadan önceki gece asla yalnız değilim ve moral verici bir konuşmaya ihtiyacım olursa, o tam orada. Şimdi, oğullarım benimle rekabet ediyor, iyi, bu farklı bir hikaye. Oğullarım rekabet ederken yüzüğün dışında olmak, şimdiye kadar yaptığım herhangi bir kavgadan çok daha zor.. Anne tarafım kesinlikle devreye giriyor. Günün sonunda, gerçi, Ne kadar iyi eğitilmiş olduklarını biliyorum, ve buna güvenmek zorundayım. Köşelerinde çalışmıyorum çünkü bu çok yakın. Her seferinde havlu atardım. Ben tribünlerde olmalıyım.”

Kendra ve oğulları bu yıl Shreveport'ta yarışacak., Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde yılın ilk ulusal turnuvasına hazırlanmak için COVID-19 salgını sırasında antrenman yapmak zorunda olmasına rağmen.

“Pandemi sırasında eğitim almak benim için bir nimet oldu,” Kendra dedi. “Artık kasabada bir spor salonumuz var. Yani, kapılarımızı kapatmak zorunda kaldığımız zamanlarda, kocam, çocuklar ve ben eğitim rejimimize ayak uydurabildik. Bu süre zarfında çok şey öğrendim. Aslında işleri yavaşlatabildik ve gözden kaçan pek çok şey üzerinde çalıştık.. Küçük bir kasabada yaşadığımız için de çok şanslıyız, spor salonumuzu yalnızca iki ay kapalı tutmamız gerekti ve o zamandan beri hazır ve. Sadece bu zamanlarda bu kadar çok insan için ne kadar zor olduğunu hayal edebildim.. Bizi geçindirecek bir spor salonuna sahip olduğumuz için çok şanslıydık.”

Şu anda No. 10 at 152 pound ve hayır. 5 at 165, Kendra’nın şimdiye kadarki en önemli olayları, 2019 Eastern Elite Elemeleri ve 2018 Ulusal Altın Eldiven Turnuva.

Yumruk atan agresif bir boksör, Samargis, geçmiş yıllarda önemli bir gelişme kaydettiğine inanıyor. Kuşkusuz oyunun birçok farklı bölümünü değiştirdi, harekete daha fazla odaklanmak, ayak ve baş yerleşimleri.

Sonunda, birden fazla ulusal turnuvada en iyi ödülleri yakalamak istiyor, bu yılki Ulusal Şampiyonadan itibaren, ve sonunda bir dünya şampiyonluğu için çekim yapmak için profesyonel olmaya. Şimdilik, gerçi, o milli takımda.

“Bu yılki Ulusal Şampiyonalar için en büyük yarışmam benim,” o bitirdi. “Her gün kendimin en iyi versiyonu olmak istiyorum ve her gün unutulma olasılığına uyanıyorum, eskiden olduğum kişiye geri dönebilirim. Bu kişiyi uzak tutmak için her gün kendimle savaşmak zorundayım. Tüm eğitim saatleri, beslenme ve zihinsel hazırlık bunu başarmama yardımcı oluyor. Her gün kendimin en iyi versiyonu olmaya devam edebilirim, sadece daha iyi olmaya odaklanmak, o zaman kiminle rekabet ettiğim önemli değil.

“Bu yıl Ulusal Şampiyonalar için hazırım ve heyecanlıyım. Dünya durma noktasına geldiğinde, bu yılın ilk turnuvası olacak. Ringe geri dönmeye hazırım. Madalya, bana kemerimin altında başka bir ulusal unvan verecek ve profesyonel olduğum zamanlar için özgeçmişimi keskinleştirecek.”

SUPERSTAR CLARESSA SHIELDS NAMED WOMEN’S BOXING #1 POUND-FOR-POUND BY THE RING AND ESPN

Women’s boxing superstar Claressa Shields has added two more impressive distinctions to her already unparalleled boxing career laurels.


25-year-old “T-Rex” Shields (10-0, 2 KOs), currently the unified WBC and WBO World Female Super Welterweight and WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO Middleweight Champion, has been named #1 in both The Ring and ESPN’s inaugural pound-for-pound women’s rankings of the best female fighters in the world.


During an exciting renaissance for the sport, Shields was able to best a strong lineup of female fighters including Irish unified lightweight champion Katie Taylor, seven-division champ Amanda Serrano, Norway’s long-time undisputed queen Cecilia Braekhus and her recent conqueror Jessica McCaskill.


Among her many accomplishments, Shields is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and the first American boxer – female or male – to win consecutive Olympic boxing gold medals. She became Unified Super Middleweight World Champion in her fourth professional fight, Unified Middleweight World Champion in her sixth professional fight and Unified Super Welterweight World Champion in her tenth. She also holds the record for becoming a two and three-weight world champion in the fewest professional fights and is one of only seven boxers in history, female or male, to hold all four major world titles in boxing—WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO—simultaneously.


“Claressa is the driving force for women’s boxing!” said her promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “I am happy to see that ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, and the well-respected “Bible of Boxing” Ring Magazine unanimously and indisputably recognize Claressa’s incredible accomplishments as the best in the world.”


“I’m proud to see two more Herstoric achievements added to the unprecedented resume of Claressa Shields,” said her manager, Mark Taffet, President of Mark Taffet Media. “She continues her march toward equality for female boxers using her broad shoulders from both an athletic and a social perspective. I look forward to the day when she appears on the top pound-for-pound list among the men with no gender labels.”

Two Sensational Female Fights Feature on LET BATTLE COMMENCE II Live on FITE TV August 15th

Promoter Lee Mcallister announced earlier that there will be two female contests on the upcoming LET BATTLE COMMENCE II, in association with PAPA JOHN’S PIZZA and NEON ENERGY DRINK, which takes place ‘behind closed doors’ at the OYO Northern Hotel in Aberdeen and broadcast exclusively live by FITE TV on Saturday 15th August 2020.

The first of the all female battles features on the UK #1 Dünya #27 Ranked Super Flyweight Worksop’s Nicola Hopewell in action against Leeds’ Tasha Boyes.

YAKIN VE KİŞİSEL 10 TIME DÜNYA KICKBOXING ŞAMPİYONU CAITLIN, PRO BOXING İLK ÖNÜNÜN ÖNÜNDE

Bu pandemi kilitlenmesi neredeyse dünya çapında tam güçle, birçok dövüş zaten iptal edildi, en büyüğünden, Anthony Joshua'ya karşı Kubrat Pulev gibi, birçok küçük salon etkinliğine kadar.


Sokağa çıkma yasağı sevgili sporumuzla ilgili herkesi etkiliyor, bu bana ilk profesyonel bokslarına hazırlananları düşündürdü, bugünün kurbanı gibi, üzgünüm misafir, Caitlin Foran, 25 Nisan'da Orkney'de çıkış yapacak olan.


Caitlin on kez Kickboks Dünya Şampiyonu, hala sadece biri için oldukça büyük bir başarı 19 yaş, Kabul edelim ki bu kadar genç yaşta herhangi bir sporda bu kadar yüksek bir statü elde etmek oldukça büyük bir başarı ve şüphesiz bu pandemi bittiğinde ve profesyonel çıkışını yaptığında kapsamlı dövüş sporları deneyimi ona fayda sağlayacak..


Aslında Mart ayında Barrow-in-Furness'teki bir etkinlikte Caitlin ile tanışma zevkini yaşadım., meydan okuduğunda Paul Peers'ı desteklediği yer, ve yendi, Profesyonel Boks Konseyi için Nikaragualı Milton Arauz (PBC) Uluslararası unvan, ve her zaman profesyonel çıkışını örtmeyi amaçladı, ancak mevcut durum nedeniyle yılın sonlarına kadar ertelenmesiyle, onun yerine onunla bir röportaj ayarlamaya karar verdi..


benim waffle'ım yeter, hadi bu harika genç yıldızı biraz daha yakından tanıyalım.




(GDC) Merhaba Caitlin, bizim için birkaç soruyu cevaplamak için zaman ayırdığınız için teşekkür ederiz. İlk sorum, birden çok Dünya Şampiyonu olan bir Kick Boksör olduğunuzu anlıyorum., Lütfen okuyucularımıza Kick Boks kariyerinizden biraz bahseder misiniz??




(CF) Bu yüzden kickboks yapmaya başladım. 2008 sekiz yaşında, O zamanlar kickboksla birçok başka spor ve aktivite arasında hokkabazlık yapıyordum ama zamanla dikkatim kickboksa takıldı ve bu benim hayatım oldu..


Ben kesinlikle bu spora yeteneği olan insanlardan değildim.. esnek değildim, güvenim yoktu, ama beni bu güne taşıyan tek şey kararlılık.


Bir adada yaşadığımız için anakaradaki diğer kulüpler kadar çok müsabakaya katılamadık, bu da deneyim eksikliğini telafi etmek için gerçekten fazladan çaba göstermemiz gerektiğini bildiğimiz anlamına geliyordu..


Ayrıca annemin bekar bir ebeveyn olduğu geniş bir aileden geliyor. 5 çocuklar, nadiren rekabet etmek için kaçabildiğim ve siyah kuşağımı alana kadar gerçekten düzgün bir şekilde yarışmaya başlamadığım anlamına geliyordu. 2011.


Daha sonra genellikle ayda bir kez yarışmaya başladım ve ilk büyük olan Glasgow'da 2x altın kazandığım WKA İskoç şampiyonalarıydı., bu benim ilk büyük özgüvenimdi ve daha sık rekabet etmeye devam ettim, daha fazla İskoç şampiyonluğu, İngiliz ve Avrupa şampiyonluğu kazandım..


Daha sonra ilk dünya şampiyonalarıma davet edildim. 2013 bronz madalya ile çıktığım İtalya'da.


Yarışırken hep puan savaşını tercih ettim, hangisi daha karate tarzı, 'başla dur’ dövüş stili, ama Prag'daki ikinci Dünya şampiyonamda 2014, yüzüğü için kavga etmeyen bir kadın vardı Kesintisiz bölüm o yüzden kavga edip etmeyeceğim soruldu.


Hiçbir zaman bir dövüşü reddeden biri olmadım, bu yüzden dövüşü aldım ve diğer iki kişiyle birlikte kazandım, bu yüzden ilk üç Dünya şampiyonluğum ve ring dövüşüne olan yeni aşkımla ayrıldım..


Itibaren 2014 için 2017 Çeşitli ülkelerde yedi dünya şampiyonluğu daha kazanmaya devam ettim..


Tarafından 2016/17 kickboks kariyerim gerçekten iyi gidiyordu ve yakın zamanda profesyonelleşmeyi düşünüyordum., ancak sonunda 2017 koçum Ryan Reffell ne yazık ki öldü ve bu da kickboks kariyerime son verdi.


(GDC) Kick Boks'tan Profesyonel Boks'a geçmenizde sizi ne etkiledi??


(CF) Daha önce bahsettiğim gibi, Hiçbir zaman doğal olarak esnek bir insan olmadım, bu yüzden kickboksta bacaklarım ağırlıklı olarak güçlü vücut tek vuruşları için kullanıldı..


Hala Ryan ile Nemesis Kickboks'un bir parçası olarak antrenman yaparken, sonunda 2015 Ellerimle iyileştiğime karar verdik ve boksa geçmeyi düşünmeye başladık.


Bu, Ryan'ın bir Pazartesi gecesi boks derslerine ve hafta boyunca kickboks derslerine başlamasına neden oldu..


Eylül'le ilk dövüşüm teklif edildi. 4 UKBC tüy sıklet uluslararası şampiyonluğu için gün bildirimi. Dövüşü kazanmaya devam ettim ve Aralık ayındaki bir rövanşta onu savundum..


2017 gerçekten daha çok boksa ve daha az kickboksa odaklanmaya başladığım ve iki dövüş daha yaptığım zamandı., lisanssız kariyerimdeki son dövüş, Nisan ayındaki Five Nations unvan dövüşüydü. 2017 hangi rekorumu getirdi 4-0-0.


Boks kariyerimin o zaman sona erdiğini sanıyordum., Paul Peers, Orkney'e taşınana kadar 2018 ve Facebook aracılığıyla iletişime geçtim ve daha sonra boksuma büyük ilgi gösterdiği için antrenmanımı yeniden başlattı ve spora olan sevgimi geri kazanmamda çok yardımcı oldu ve bana inandığını gösterdi ve bu da beni kendime daha fazla güvenmemi sağladı ve kendime geldi. bu yılın Ocak ayında profesyonel sözleşmemi imzalamadan önce tekrar düzgün bir şekilde eğitime geri döndüm.


(GDC) 25 Nisan'da Orkney'de ilk profesyonel boks maçınıza çıkacaktınız., Açıkçası bu, COVID-19 Pandemisi nedeniyle yeniden planlanıyor, peki öncelikle hazırlıklarınız nasıl gidiyor?


(CF) Evet, tüm bunlar başladığında yıkıcıydı ama evde sahip olduğum küçük alanı kullanarak günlük koşu ve ev egzersizleri ile olabildiğince aktif kalmaya çalışıyorum..


(GDC) Hükümet sokağa çıkma yasağı emrinin hazırlıklarınız üzerinde bir etkisi oldu mu??


(CF) Kilitlenmeden önce, kulüpte haftada en az bir veya iki kez fikir tartışması yapıyorduk ve Orkney Boks Kulüpleri dövüşçülerini hafta sonları biraz dövüş için onlarınkiyle karıştırmak için Aberdeen'deki Assassin's boksunda Lee Mcallister ile ortaklığımıza başlamıştık..


Bunu şu ana kadar sadece bir kez başardık, çünkü hava kötüydü ve tekneler çalışacağından emin değildi ama gösteriye kadar daha fazlasını planlıyorduk..


(GDC) Sokağa çıkma yasağı sona erdiğinde ve yeni tarih açıklandığında, rakibinizin Carly Mackenzie olduğu belirtiliyor, onun hakkında çok şey biliyor musun?


(CF) Aslında Carly Mackenzie ile dövüşecektim, ancak rakibim kısa süre önce Profesyonel Boks Konseyi'ne geçti. (PBC) Uluslararası Gümüş Şampiyon Jamie Bates Wallis. Dürüst olmak gerekirse Jamie hakkında pek bir şey bilmiyorum ama gördüğüm kadarıyla güçlü bir hücumu ve keskin savunması olan güçlü bir ortodoks boksör..


Özellikle de ilk dövüşüm olmanın zor olacağını bilerek dövüşe katıldım. 3 yıl.
O bir şampiyon olduğunu kanıtladı, benim şampiyon olabilmem için şampiyonları yenmem gerekiyor..


(GDC) Kariyerinizden bugüne kadar uzaklaşmak, en sevdiğin boksör kim, Erkek veya kadın, ve neden?


(CF) Bugüne kadarki en sevdiğim boksör Katie Taylor olmalı. Bayanlar boksunun bugün olduğu yere gelmesinde büyük rol oynadı ve gerçekten bir şey istiyorsanız her türlü engelin üstesinden gelinebileceğini gösterdiği için dışarıdaki tüm sporcular için gerçek bir ilham kaynağı oldu..


(GDC) Aynı damarda, tüm zamanların en sevdiğin dövüş hangisi, ve neden?


(CF) Favori bir dövüş seçmek çok zor ama biri Katie Taylor'ın Christina Linardatou'ya karşı en son dövüşü olmalı, çünkü kazanma rekorunu devam ettirdi ve WBO Süper Hafif dünya unvanını sürekli büyüyen başarı listesine ekledi.. Genelde Taylor kavgaya takılıp kalırdı., atış üstüne atış. Ancak bu sefer akıllıca boks yaparak ve enerjisini boşa harcamadan dışarıya çıktı..


(GDC) Sorularıma cevap vermek için zaman ayırdığınız için teşekkür ederim, Son olarak, yaklaşan çıkışınızla ilgili bahsetmek istediğiniz biri var mı??


(CF) sponsoruma teşekkür etmek istiyorum, GSRI'da Gary Sutherland, Steven Logie, Mukavemet'te 101 beni formda tuttuğu için ve Paul Peers'ın geçen bir buçuk yılda yaptığı her şey için özgüvenimi geri kazandığı ve boks sevgimi yeniden alevlendirdiği için. Ayrıca Nemesis kickboks Akademisi ve Nemesis Boks Spor Salonu'ndaki tüm eski takım arkadaşlarıma da sesleniyorum, onlarsız bugün olduğum yerde olmazdım..
