Pennsylvania featherweight Cornellio Phipps living the dream 2022 Youth World Championships November 14-26 in La Nucia, Spanyol

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (November 10, 2022) – As talented featherweight Cornellio “Chada” Phipps prepares for the upcoming Youth World Championships, he admits to living the dream, and before he turns pro in a few years, the Olympic-style boxing plan for him is medaling in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The 17-year-old Phipps, who fights out of Oxford, Pa., first got into boxing four years ago on the advice of his father. Phipps played basketball and football, but he didn’t feel either of those were his true spot. He actually fell in love with boxing while watching fights before he even boxed, when he was seven.   

“I tell people to never give up their dreams, to keep punching, and never let anybody doubt you,” Phipps said. “This feels good (preparing for the Youth Worlds). I never thought I’d get to this stage. It’s been tough but fun. I’m on Team USA representing my country.

“It starts on the big stage by me medaling at the Youth Worlds (November 14-26, in La Nucia, Spanyol). Being on Team USA has made a big difference for me. I’ve learned how to box against different moves, understanding the points system, and how to win. Training in Colorado Springs has helped me to succeed and also have fun learning from my new coaches.”

Phipps (headgear).jpg

Phipps has already tasted success prior to the Youth Worlds. He has captured gold medals at the 2022 USA Boxing National Qualifier, 2021 USA Boxing Youth National Championships, serta 2020 dan 2019 Junior National Championships.

All-around boxer-puncher is the best way to describe Phipps style in the ring. He can brawl, kotak, and move around well. “I’m more of a boxer than brawler,” he noted. “I can fight on the outside or lay on the ropes. I move and show angles, plus I can easily switch to southpaw (from his orthodox stance)."

Like many of his young USA Boxing teammates, the Youth Worlds will be the first international competition of his career. These championships is something he is really looking forward to for a wide variety of reasons.

“I’m excited to be fighting on my first international competition at the Youth Worlds in Spain,” Phipps concluded. “I was supposed to fight in a tournament in Bulgaria in 2020, but that was canceled due to COVID. I’m going to show my skills at the Youth Worlds to prove I belong at the top level, and that is the Olympics.”

Competition begins in La Nucia, Spain on Tuesday, November. 15 and can be followed along bymengklik di sini.

Tempat kuota termasuk enam petinju Tim USA, yang didasarkan pada Peringkat BTF.

“Keenam petinju ini telah menjadi andalan dalam program kami dan telah memantapkan diri mereka di antara yang terbaik di dunia dengan penampilan mereka selama quad terakhir.,” kata Direktur Kinerja Tinggi Tinju USAMatt Johnson. “Sekarang saatnya mereka tampil di panggung terbesar dunia di Tokyo.”

Semua enam petinju akan bersaing di Olimpiade pertama mereka.

2019 Peraih medali perunggu Kejuaraan Dunia Elite Wanita Ellis akan bersaing di kelas ringan wanita (132 lbs./60 kg) divisi. Ellis memenangkan perunggu di 2019 Pan American Games untuk menambah peringkat BTF-nya untuk memperkuat posisinya di Tokyo sebagai petinju Amerika peringkat kedua tertinggi dan 12th secara keseluruhan di kelas beratnya. Ellis akan mencari untuk memenangkan medali Olimpiade ringan wanita pertama Tim USA.

“Kualifikasi ke Olimpiade telah menjadi salah satu impian terdalam saya,” sebut Ellis. “Saya tidak pernah meragukan kemampuan saya. Saya telah berhenti takut pada apa yang bisa salah dan mulai bersemangat tentang apa yang bisa berjalan dengan benar. Jadi, Saya menerima kesalahan saya dan belajar darinya, karena kesalahan saya telah membantu saya meningkatkan dan mencapai Olimpiade. Saya tidak melakukannya dengan mudah; Saya membuat sesuatu terjadi. Kerja keras dan dedikasi dengan usaha dan tekad, Saya bisa berhasil.”

Fuchs akan mewakili Tim USA di divisi flyweight (112 pon/51 kg). Petinju berusia 33 tahun ini akan berusaha untuk mendapatkan medali kedua dari USA Boxing di divisi flyweight wanita sejak diperkenalkannya acara tersebut di London 2012.

Saya siap mewakili negara saya dengan cara yang paling terhormat dan membawa pulang emas!"

Jones akan masuk ke ring di salah satu dari dua kelas berat wanita yang baru ditambahkan, welter yang (152 pon/69 kg) divisi. Jones, yang membuat sejarah di 2019 dengan penampilan medali emasnya di Pan American Games, akan terus membuat sejarah dengan menjadi peraih medali emas Olimpiade pertama di divisi beratnya.

Johnson adalah petinju Amerika unggulan ketiga dan 19th secara keseluruhan.

“Perjuanganku adalah garis-garisku, dan saya memakainya di punggung saya, sehingga orang-orang di sekitar saya dapat melihatnya bahkan ketika Anda tinggal di hutan, kamu masih bisa mengejar mimpimu,” kata Johnson. “Saya tidak hanya melakukan ini untuk kota saya, tapi untuk dua pelatih saya, Dante Benyamin Sr. dan Clint Martin, yang saya hilangkan selama perjalanan saya ke Game ini.”

Torrezo, kelas berat super peringkat tertinggi (201+ lbs./91+ kg) petinju dari Amerika dan 11th secara keseluruhan, mendapatkan tempatnya melalui penampilannya di tempat ketiga di 2019 Pan American Games dan posisi lima teratas di Kejuaraan Dunia Elite Pria tahun itu. Torrezo, mantan peraih medali perunggu Kejuaraan Dunia Pemuda, akan menjadi petinju Amerika pertama yang berkompetisi di kelas berat ini sejak 2012.

“Semua orang senang mereka pergi ke Olimpiade, itu impian semua orang, tapi aku harus ada,” kata Torrez. “Api yang ditanamkan dalam diriku bahkan sebelum aku bisa berjalan, yang mendorong saya untuk menjadi yang terbaik, api yang telah ada di keluarga saya selama beberapa generasi, telah meluap. Itu telah membakar semua pilihan kedua saya, dan itu telah membuat abu kemungkinan lain selain kesuksesan.”

Tim USA akan dipandu oleh Pelatih Kepala Nasional Tinju USA Billy Walsh selama Olimpiade ini.

“Ini adalah berita fantastis bagi enam petinju kami yang telah bekerja tanpa henti selama lima tahun terakhir untuk menjadi seorang Olympian,"Walsh berbagi. “Kami sekarang fokus pada tahap proses selanjutnya, menjadi Juara Olimpiade.”

Texas Twins Yordania & Josh Jenkins dalam Misi khusus untuk Menulis Sejarah Tinju Amerika

2020 Kejuaraan Tinju Nasional ASLaut. 25-April. 4, di Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Maret 1, 2021) — Kembar Texas Olokan (L) dan Jordan (R) Jenkins sedang dalam misi untuk menjadi anak kembar pertama yang berada di Tim Tinju Olimpiade Tim AS.


Mereka berdua akan bersaing di divisi elit di 2020 USA Boxing Kejuaraan Nasional, ditunda karena pandemi COVID-19 dari Desember lalu hingga Maret 25 – Bulan April 3, di Shreveport, Louisiana.


The Jenkins twins have overcome numerous obstacles in Dallas, primarily their father’s long incarceration, subsequently getting into trouble and constantly fighting others in school. And that doesn’t even include COVID-19 restrictions that limited gym time and eliminated tournament competition this past year.


They were fortunate to have their grandfather, akhir Guilford Childress, who was the most significant male influence in their lives. “We played all sports but were getting into trouble fighting in school,” older brother by 1 minute Josh said. “Our grandfather took us to the gym, but our mother didn’t want us to box. He and my godfather, Darryl Thomas, who was also a father figure for us, trained us. Our grandfather used to come to school when we got in trouble. He was our disciplinarian. He’d take us right out of training at the gym or stop us from sparring for two weeks. He didn’t just want us to be champion boxers, he wanted us to become mature men.


"Dua tahun yang lalu, Greg Hatley became our trainer. Everything changed for us when we started being trained by Coach Hatley. Our styles completely changed, and we started settling down in the ring, and picking spots. Coach Hatley has had a big impact on our lives. He’s taught us how to be men. He’s a roofer and he taught us how to roof, change oil and tires, and save our money for later.”


The twins work for Amazon in a warehouse. Jordan is a brawling lightweight, while welterweight Josh is more of a boxer. Have they ever switched places and fought under the other’s name? “Everybody asks us that,” laughed Jordan. "Tidak, Josh is bigger than me.”


They’ve been competing in the elite division for the past couple of years, and both have reached the semifinals of major tournaments, but they’re ready to break out at the upcoming National Championships.


The Jenkins twins have had their training impacted. like most other amateur boxers, but not terribly, yet different from what they were used to. At first there were limitations at their gym, but once restrictions opened-up, they were able to train more often, spread out more than normal at the gym while working out, and COVID-19 tested monthly.


The dream for “Twin Nation”, coined by their grandfather when Josh and Jordan were in the seventh grade, is becoming the first twins on a Team USA Boxing Olympic Team, something late grandfather first mentioned to them. “We want to be the first twins on the US Olympic Boxing Team so kids can look up to us,” Jordan noted. “We want to prove that kids labeled as bad can still be successful growing up in an environment like ours. A lot of friends we grew up with are dead or in jail. We’ve worked had to change our lives and we’re looking ahead to Paris (site of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games)."


Their remarkable journey reaches a new level at the Nationals. They aren’t in a rush to go pro, salah satu. Aduh, they both intend to be professional boxers, but only when they’re ready as a tandem.


“We’re humble,” Josh concluded. “We’ve had a lot of bumps and bruises. We could have gone left or right. A lot of our friends went one way, but we went the other way, dan
became boxers.”

Top USA amateur boxers adjusting to life without fights & waiting another year for Olympics show

Arjan Iseni training during the pandemic

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan April 23, 2020) — Amateur boxing, as in the professional ranks, has been shut-down worldwide due to the Coronavirus pandemic. USA Boxing members are adjusting to these challenging and trying times all across the country.

Gyms and schools are closed, tournaments suspended, dan 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo have been postponed a year. Members of the Elite Qualification, Youth and Junior High Performance teams are home rather than in Colorado Springs training at the state-of-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center.

How are some of the leading U.S. amateur boxers living during this period without fights?

ELITE OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION TEAM

Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, Michigan), 26-year-old middleweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold medal performances: 2019 Golden Gloves nasional; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-time Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks was within one qualifier victory of officially becoming a member of the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. He is taking advantage of the break, meskipun, spending quality time with his wife and young daughter.



I personally feel that this has been a blessing in disguise, because I have more time to improve on the things the USA coaches have been telling me to work on. I live in an apartment in Lansing (MY), but I’ve been staying with my mom in Grand Rapids so I can comfortably train. It’s weird in a way, but I miss getting punched at. I’ve been trying to adapt to the new normal, but I can’t wait to be back at the training center (in Colorado Springs).

I love that I can see my daughter every day to give her all my attention, but she misses the gym as much as me. My wife and mother have been very supportive. I believe waiting another year will only make me better by the time the Olympics are here.

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohio), 22-year-old welterweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2020 Olympic Team Trials, 3-time Elite National Championships (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 PAL Nasional. International: 2020 Strandja Tournament & 2019 Pan-American Games

Jones had been on a roll leading up to the since postponed Americas Qualifier to lock a roster spot on the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. She has been training at her family’s gym in Toledo, as well as getting more involved in community services and functions.



I have not adapted to life without boxing, because boxing will never leave my life. Keluarga saya / coaches have a gym connected to our house we live in. Boxing is not a sport, it’s a lifestyle .

My heart dropped when I first heard that the Olympics were postponed. Everything that I have been working toward for basically my whole life is on pause until next July. I do not know how I feel or how to express how I feel. The only thing I can do is try to stay motivated.


YOUTH HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Arjan Iseni (Staten Island, New York), 17-year-old light heavyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships, Terbuka Regional Timur & Youth Open

Iseni lives in the Coronavirus epicenter, Staten Island, NY. He and his father built a small ring in their backyard (lihat gambar dibawah) because he couldn’t train in any gyms.

It’s very hard to know that I won’t be able to represent Team USA this year in any international tournaments. This is my last year as a youth boxer, but I have been training very hard during quarantine, and I will be ready for whatever is next for me.

It is hard knowing that I will not be fighting soon, but this gives me more time to perfect the little flaws in my game, and I’ll comeback stronger when this all ends. Mudah-mudahan, everything goes back to normal soon, so I can get back to fighting actively and hopefully make Team USA as an Elite boxer.


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Hawai), 17-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships & Terbuka Regional Barat; 2018 Youth National Championships & Western Regionals Open; 2017 National Junior Olympics & Golden Gloves nasional

Patricio lives the furthest away from training camp and her teammates, but her family owns a boxing gym, and training/sparring isn’t as a problem for her because she has eight siblings.



We are in quarantine and I have adapted to life without fights by continuing to train at our personal gym with my siblings. Training hasn’t been a problem for us because we have our own personal gym. We sanitize all the equipment and the gym before and after training. Since there are no fights coming soon, we have been sharpening up our skills and building more knowledge We’ve been gaining strength and keeping up our endurance. On weekends, my dad rides a bike while we run laps to get some sunlight, and sometimes we do sprint drills outside.

Our family is a boxing family that started with my dad as he was a boxer. He started training me, only for defense, but it started to get serious in 2015 when I won my first tournament in Kansas. All of my other siblings are also boxers and they’re also multiple-time champions. My siblings and I have been getting a ton of family time staying home together. This quarantine has made us even closer. Our bond makes us stronger individually and as one. I’m far away from training in Colorado Springs, but my teammates are only a phone call away. I’m able to stay in touch and that’s very warming. Some of the coaches check on me to see how I’ve been doing. I looked forward to all the tournaments I planned to fight in and I’m disappointed they’ve been postponed, but I have more time to be even better prepared for my next fight.

JUNIOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Steven Navarro (Los Angeles, California) 16-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior National Championships & PAL Nasional; 2018 Junior National Championships; 2017 Prep Open & Terbuka Regional Barat

Navarro was training in Colorado Springs to prepare for international competition in Bulgaria, but the trip was cancelled two days before Navarro and his teammates were scheduled to depart.



As a member of the USA Boxing Junior Team, I look forward to every fight / turnamen, because it could be my last. So it was very heartbreaking when I was notified that our fights in Bulgaria and future international fights were cancelled due to this pandemic. I continue working as hard as I do on a regular basis: waking up at 5 di pagi hari, berjalan 5-6 miles in nearby hills, of course wearing my mask. I come home to take my online classes from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., which gives me a 2-hour nap before heading to my private gym. I am the only person who trains at my gym every day at 4:30 p.m. Once I get to the gym, I begin stretching for 3 putaran (3-minute rounds), shadow box for 5-7 putaran, then I hit five varieties of punching bags (3 putaran masing-masing). Afterwards, I work mitts (5-8 putaran) where I focus on different movements and situations that could possibly happen in a fight. I often hit the double-end bag and speed bag for 3 putaran. I finish my boxing training with 15 min. of jump rope.

I train on a daily basis for 2 hours with my father/coach Refugio Navarro. This pandemic is a bit of a gamble due to not having access to sparring. I do tend to ‘movewith my father once every week, but the experience is different. Once finished, I head to my grandparentshouse (only one block away from my home) to do my strength and conditioning. I do wear a mask and gloves when working out there. My grandfather is a bodybuilder and has his gym setup in his garage. I work-out with my grandfather for a good hour, constantly disinfecting all equipment, to wrap-up my day. I work with what I have, which is a blessing. Boxing isn’t a season sport, you must stay ready all year for anything, and that’s what I continue to do as I strive for greatness.

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Texas), 14-year-old bantamweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Eastern Regional



Chavez is a first-year member of the Junior High Performance Team and her inaugural training camp in Colorado Springs was pushed back.

Adapting to this new lifestyle hasn’t been the easiest. I’m thankful I have my family, as we’ve been going on daily runs and workouts at parks. My family understands the importance of my athleticism and staying fit, which is why we continue to motivate each other during this tough time. I’m not sure when our lives will return to normal, which is why I’m still prepared at all times.

The things I’m looking forward to most at camp in Colorado Springs is meeting other junior females on the team, as well as learning the different styles they bring. I also look forward to creating bonds between my new teammates and coaches from across the nation.

West Point Boxing Fall Klasik Winchester Kadet Senior Luca LoConte Botis akan dipamerkan di pertandingan tinju lokal terakhir

November. 10 di Anthony di Malden, Massa.

BOSTON, Massa. (Bulan Oktober 28, 2019) – Kadet Senior Akademi Militer Amerika Serikat Luca LoConte Botis, yang lahir dan besar di Winchester (Mass.,) menantikan kompetisi tinju lokalnya yang terakhir pada hari Minggu, November 10.

Botis, kapten tim tinju West Point, akan beraksi di depan banyak teman dan anggota keluarga Nov. 10 di National Collegiate Boxing Association’s (NCBA) “West Point Fall Klasik,” untuk diadakan di Anthony's di dekat Malden, Massachusetts.

Anggota tim tinju West Point akan bertanding melawan petinju amatir dari USA Boxing New England, Universitas Connecticut, Perguruan Tinggi Trinitas, Perguruan Tinggi Hartford, dan Universitas Massachusetts.
Botis adalah 2015 lulusan Sekolah Menengah Winchester, tempat dia menjadi kapten lintas negara sekolah, tim renang dan trek luar ruangan.

“Selalu terasa menyenangkan untuk kembali ke rumah dan bertarung di depan pendukung tuan rumah,” Kata Botis. “Karena ini pertarungan lokal terakhir untukku, Saya pasti bisa mengatakan bahwa ada rasa nostalgia awal.”

Botis akan lulus dari Akademi Militer Amerika Serikat pada Mei 23, 2020, setelah itu dia akan ditugaskan sebagai Letnan Dua di AS. Angkatan Darat. Meskipun dia berharap untuk bertugas di Infanteri di Colorado atau Kentucky, Botis tidak akan mengetahui tugas pertamanya sampai November. 13, atau di mana dia akan ditugaskan sampai Februari.

Tinju telah menjadi pengalaman yang menyenangkan bagi Botis karena berbagai alasan. “Tinju telah membantu saya menjadi lebih rendah hati, orang yang terhormat,” jelasnya. “Di ring tinju harus ada rasa saling menghormati antara kedua lawan; tidak ada ejekan, menggoda, atau segala bentuk sikap tidak hormat. Petinju juga harus belajar untuk tidak merasa emosional terhadap lawan mereka. Saya mempelajari pelajaran ini dengan bertarung atau menonton perkelahian di mana contoh seperti itu terjadi.

“Saya tidak akan bertinju kompetitif di ketentaraan, tapi saya akan terus berlatih, karena itu adalah bentuk latihan terbaik yang pernah saya alami. Mengenai kehidupan pasca-Angkatan Darat saya, Saya kemungkinan besar akan menjadi sukarelawan di gym lokal untuk melatih generasi muda bertinju.”

Tidak yakin berapa lama dia akan bertugas di AS. Angkatan Darat, setidaknya pada tahap ini, Botis berencana untuk melayani lebih dari lima tahun yang dibutuhkannya, tapi kurang dari 10 tahun. Dia berbicara tujuh bahasa yang luar biasa: Bahasa Inggris, Italia, Sisilia dan Rumania ia pelajari di rumah, menambahkan Portugis, Spanyol dan sedikit bahasa Ibrani di West Point.

Botis agak mengikuti jalan yang ditetapkan oleh paman buyutnya, Louis LoConte, yang merupakan atlet universitas yang mahir dalam hoki. Dia lulus 1948 dengan pujian dari West Point, di mana dia dilatih untuk menerbangkan pembom B-52. Sekarang 93 tua tahun, yang tinggal di Louisiana, bertugas di militer sampai 1956. Lucas’ bagus deh, kakek yang hebat, Louis LoConte, Sr., berimigrasi ke AS. dari Sisilia, bekerja sebagai tukang di pangkalan militer West Point. Dia biasa berbicara dengan putranya, Lou, tentang betapa dia mengagumi para Kadet muda, memahami bahwa mereka istimewa.

“West Point telah mengajari saya bahwa hidup bukanlah tentang keuntungan pribadi saya tetapi, malah, tentang layanan kepada orang lain,” Botis menyimpulkan. “Tidak peduli jenis layanan apa, militer sipil, tetapi yang terpenting adalah saya akan membantu orang ke mana pun saya pergi. Saya sangat menghargai hubungan saya di West Point sehingga saya tidak akan sampai sejauh ini jika saya tidak memilikinya.”

Penghormatan kepada Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS juga akan diadakan selama “West Point Fall Klasik,” termasuk penampilan oleh 1988 Peraih medali emas Olimpiade Ray Mercer, peserta Fight of the Year tiga kali “Irlandia” Micky Ward (Lowell, MA), tiga kali, Juara dunia dua divisi “The Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera(Worcester, MA), dan mantan juara amatir New England dan juara bertahan IBA kelas super welter Greg “Penjahat” Tua (Stoneham, MA).

Pintu terbuka di 2 p.m. DAN, pertarungan pertama dijadwalkan untuk 3 p.m. DAN.
