USA BOXING HEAVYWEIGHT ADRIAN TILLMAN IN U.S. ARMY

发表评论

科罗拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (九月 3, 2019) – No. 2 rated American heavyweight 阿德里安·蒂尔曼, who is also ranked No. 5 as a light heavyweight, is not only representing his country as a member of USA Boxing’s 2019 Men’s Elite team, he’s also serving in the U.S. Army at the same time.

Tillman, 24, is able to do both, because he’s an active soldier enrolled in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), in which qualified athletes have an opportunity to train fulltime for the Olympics.

“As of right now,” Tillman said, “my focus is on the Olympics. I love the military and I love boxing. So, I’ll just see where life takes me. But, as of now, 2020 东京, 日本, is the one thing on my mind.

“Training (在科罗拉多斯普林斯) with the Elite team has definitely elevated my game all around. The coaches and trainers are always teaching me. It’s a non-stop learning environment with the team.”

Born in Riverside, 加利福尼亚州, Tillman started boxing in 2008, because he wanted to lose weight and learn how to defend himself and his siblings as he was about to enter high school.

The heavyweight with a stiff jab is a three-time National PAL champion (2018, 2017 和 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, 然而, may be a little surprising, because it isn’t about winning medals, trophies and belts.

“My greatest accomplishment was being able to qualifying two weight classes (lightweight and heavyweight) for the Olympic Trials.”

Tillman has traveled throughout South America and Europe. He is with his Team USA teammates training in England before going straight to Yekaterinburg, 俄罗斯, to compete in the 2019 Elite Men’s World Championships, 九月 7-21.

“Gaining a medal at the World Championships is important to me because,”他指出，, “not only am I representing my country, I’m also representing the Army and my family.”

When he’s in the ring, Tillman adjusts to his opponent, brawling or boxing equally, whatever it takes to win.

Adrian Tillman is a true patriot who also happens to wear boxing gloves. Whether he qualifies as a heavyweight or light heavyweight, all that matters to him is boxing for Team USA at the 2020 奥运会.

Is USA Boxing Nationals Champion Jared Anderson America’s next great heavyweight?

发表评论
科罗拉多斯普林斯, 科罗拉多州 (十二月 21, 2017) – Christmas came early for Jared Anderson, who not only won the heavyweight title at the recent USA Boxing National Championships, the 18-year-old also captured the Most Outstanding Boxer Award in the Elite Division.
Seeded No. 7 in an eight-boxer field at The Nationals, 安德森, 为了, defeated No. 2 耶稣弗洛雷斯 在首轮, 5-0, edged No. 3 阿德里安·蒂尔曼 在半决赛中, 3-2, and upset five-time national champion Cam F. Awesome, 5-0, 在最后的冠军.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (十一月. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 和 2, 分别, Flores is No. 5, and Anderson is unranked.
“I think that’s going to change,” Anderson noted. “Winning the heavyweight title and Most Outstanding Boxing Award meant the world to me. Maybe some people had never heard of me, but I’ve been boxing since I was eight, and I’ve faced a lot of different styles.
“I had a vendetta going with Tillman and, instead of boxing, I tried to take his head off. Simple work allowed me to beat Awesome. 他是个好斗士. Cam does what he wants in the ring — throws jabs, sits there and builds up points – and intimidates some opponents. I took the fight to him. Not wild, 虽然, because he’d have been there in the ring, calm and smiling, and I would have lost. I used my jab more than anything against him.”
One of 11 siblings in two households, Anderson is another USA Boxing success story. Growing up in Toledo, 俄亥俄, Anderson was constantly getting into trouble in school and boxing eventually saved him. His mother convinced her son to meet a local boxing coach, who introduced Jared to boxing, drilling discipline into him, something Jared desperately needed at that point in his young life.
Boxing in Toledo has also aided his overall development in boxing. “We push each other,” Anderson explained. “We support each other and perfect our crafts. There’s a lot of support here at all the gyms in Toledo.”
Anderson represented Team USA at this past August’s 2017 Bradenburg Cup in Frankfurt, 德国, at which Anderson won the heavyweight title, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer Award, which should have been a warning for other leading U.S. 权重股.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, 中美. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. 糖光芒伦纳德 – “快动手, 速度, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. 霍利菲尔德 – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.穆罕默德·阿里 — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.”
现在, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 磅。, but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. 最终，, he wants to be heavyweight champion of the world, but Jared does have a plan.
“I want to stay as active as possible next year, competing in tournaments, and turn pro but not until after the (2020) 奥运会,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) 奥运会. I want to win a gold medal, turn pro and win the world heavyweight title, so I can move my mother out of the ‘hood.”
Remember the name, boxing fans, Jared Anderson has the potential to be America’s next great heavyweight.
