វួ​ដ, 52, is the pride of Lowell, ម៉ា​សា​ឈូ​សេត, where he is a living legend. A three-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur boxer, Ward fought professionally between 1985-2003, registering a 38-13 (27 លើក) record as a junior welterweight throughout his pro career. He is best known for his epic trilogy with the late លោក Arturo Gatti, in which he became the first fighter with double-digit losses to earn a $1-million purse (ពីរ​ដង).

An all-action, crowed-pleasing fighter, Ward was involved in three Fight of the Year honors, the first and third of the Gatti trilogy, along with a memorable match with Emanuel Augustus. Ward was the winner in two (first Gatti and Augustus) of those classic fights.

Boston-native Mark Wahlberg portrayed Ward in, អ្នកប្រយុទ្ធ, a movie about Micky’s life that won two Academy Awards.

“To be honorary captain of Team USA means a lot to me,” Ward said. “It’s great having elite amateur boxing back in Boston with the national teams from the United States and Ireland. It’s especially exciting for me as an Irish-American.”

The 44-year-old McBride was born in Clones, អៀ​រ​ឡង់. គាត់​គឺជា​សមាជិក​ម្នាក់​នៃ​មួយ 1992 Ireland Olympic Boxing Team at the age of 19, competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, អេស្ប៉ាញ. Two years earlier, he represented Ireland at the European Championships and one of his teammates was លោក Billy Walsh បាន, Team USA’s current head coach of Team USA and former chief trainer for Team Ireland.

Like other Irish boxers, McBride came to the United States to enhance his professional career, landing in the predominately Irish neighborhood of Dorchester, a working-class section Boston, ត្រឡប់​មក​វិញ​ក្នុង 1999. 6′ 6″, 285-pound McBride started training in Brockton, MA with Goody Petronelli, who had trained Marvin Hagler ដ៏​អស្ចារ្យ, and later Packy Collins, the brother of another Petronelli-trained fighter, ម្ចាស់​ជើង​ឯក​ពិភពលោក Stevie Collins.

McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, retiring with a 35-10-1 (29 លើក), highlighted by his shocking sixth-round knockout of Tyson in 2005, driving the “Baddest Man on the Planet” into ring retirement.

“I feel good about being honorary captain of Team Ireland,” remarked the still thickly Irish-brogue McBride, who still lives with his family in Dorchester. “I’m honored to be carrying the Irish flag for these fighters. I’m not sure how many of them remember me as the man who beat Tyson. I know some of the Irish coaches and I still support boxing in Ireland as well as America. I just love boxing. And it’s always a pleasure to be with my friend, Micky វួ​ដ. He’s a good lad.”
