Melson volunteers to serve in the Middle East; withdraws from NY Congressional race

 

Brooklyn, Nova York (Xaneiro 4, 2018) – Army Public Affairs Officer and retired pro boxer Boyd Melson announced his withdrawal from the New York District 11 Congressional election to serve the United States in the fight against ISIS in Operation Inherent Resolve.

 

 

Melson is currently serving in the Army Reserve in the rank of Major. Recentemente, a member of Melson’s Army Reserve unit scheduled for deployment in early 2018 received an opportunity for an assignment in an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) position.

 

 

The soldier wanted this assignment for a long period of time and it was an opportunity that would not be offered again if initially turned down. The soldier is married with children and the opportunity would be extremely beneficial to the soldier and her family. Melson, a Brooklyn resident, previously volunteered, without success, to serve abroad on three different deployments. He was adamant that this is his time to fight terrorism at its forefront.

 

 

“I am proud of many things that have taken place in my life and lives of those around me,", Dixo Melson, un 2003 West Point graduate. “The most important to me without question is being a great American that stands behind his responsibilities as a member of the Army Reserve.”

 

 

Melson, who helped raise more than $400,000 for Spinal Cord Injury research by donating every penny earned in his boxing career and helping host multiple charity galas, has been chronicled by many high profile media outlets for his selflessness. Con todo, the 36-year-old believes this next journey is his responsibility as an American.

 

 

“I have never deployed. Wholeheartedly, I believe that it is my ultimate duty to serve this great country in our fight against ISIS in the Middle East. For this reason, I have decided to withdraw from the 2018 District 11 Congressional election. While there’s no doubt in my mind I was the right man to lead Staten Island and South Brooklyn, America needs me overseas. I was doing well in my campaign run. I was singled out by the New York times as one of a handful of up and coming Democratic candidates for United States Congress. I was one of six candidates asked to speak out in front of the White House to address Russia’s cyber-interference with our elections. Then I received a phone call. A fellow soldier was scheduled to deploy. She asked me if I would switch with her because of various circumstances that would greatly benefit her family’s life to include her. I immediately said yes.”

 

 

“I thought to myself, I have never been deployed and I don’t want to look back on my life thinking how I had my chance to do my part fighting ISIS but shied away from it. That would have gone against everything I stand for. I believe in sacrificing myself to help others. Esta vez, the sacrifice is not only to help combat the terror in the Middle East, but to also help out a fellow soldier. If I said no, I would have lied to myself about who I think I am and what I think I am about.”

 

 

I have spent a great amount of time over the years traveling to schools and speaking to students from pre-k through college. I always stated that you must make sure that your decisions are in alignment with your heart’s values. Me not being there when called upon would have meant I would have lied to these children all of these years. I finally am getting my chance to join my brothers and sisters in arms with this experience. Only my inner-circle knew about the other three deployments I tried to get on. I finally get to join all those throughout our nation’s history that have made this choice. I believe in my choice, albeit it will be costing me my chance at being elected into office. Serving my nation, the United States of America, in uniform while in harm’s way, to help fight.”

Ellis returns to ShoBox in his first bout since defeating Christopher Brooker via a unanimous decision in Atlantic City last January. In his ShoBox debut, Ellis fought Jerry Odom to a majority draw in Atlantic City in February 2016.
 

Originally from Lynn, De Masa., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Este é o meu primeiro evento principal, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Luvas de Ouro nacionais. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. no 2012 Xogos Olímpicos.
 

Younan, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports, was a highly touted amateur boxer who compiled a 90-5 record before turning professional in 2013 coa idade de 18. Once dubbed by The New York Times as “a boxing prodigy” as a 10-year-old, Younan was a two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion, o 2011 National Junior Olympic championship, and at one point was the No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class by USA Boxing.
 

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, Nova York. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 Xogos Olímpicos de Londres, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 loitas, Romero earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American Games and made back-to-back appearances at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games as a teenager.
 

The 26-year-old Romero fought twice in 2017, recording TKOs in both wins over Kevin Womack Jr. and Mike Fowler.
 

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Nacido en Liberia, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.
 

In his last fight on Nov. 11, Mattice beat Orlando Rizo via seventh-round stoppage in Georgia. Mattice, who has recorded four straight KOs and eight overall in 10 loitas profesionais, is a boxer-puncher who likes to attack the body.
 

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Ever since I started boxing, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

 

Haney just turned 19 years old last November and already sports a professional record of 18-0 con 12 nocautes. Trained and managed by his father, William Haney, he has been active with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.
 

Raised in Oakland, Calif., Haney was a seven-time national amateur champion and compiled an impressive record of 130-8. Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
 

Pola, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown. It was the first time in his first nine fights that Nyambayar was taken the distance.

Aquí está o que os loitadores tiñan que dicir sobre a súa xaneiro 20 matchups e moito máis:
ROBERT Pascua (20-0, 14 Kos) – Facendo terceira defensa do IBF Leve título mundial
“Esta loita pode definitivamente dar un bo ton para min en 2018. Eu estou indo facer unha indicación con esta loita. Os meus últimos tres loitas Non teñan obtido un nocaute. Eu vou estar dando os meus fans e os fans de loita un bo concerto.
“Vou usar o meu alcance e duración e destruír este cara do lado de fóra. Toda a miña carreira eu teño loitado caras máis curtos. Cada curta cara non loitar contra a mesma. Pero entrar no arena e sentín-lo para fóra, e facer axustes.
“Non hai nada en particular que eu teño que preparar para con Fortuna. Eu levo cada loita mesmo. Cada loitador loita diferente para que chegar alí, sentín-lo para fóra, e facer axustes a medida que avanza. Non estou preocupado sobre el ser un zurdo. Eu enfrentei moitos canhotos na miña carreira e nos afeccionados. Isto é ningún problema en todo.
“Creo que o que me fai o boxeador máis perigoso nesta loita é ter a altura que fago eo poder de perforación ea velocidade ea mentalidade ben. Miña mentalidade é que eu non vou alí para xogar con el. Estou listo para destruír.
“Os meus obxectivos para 2018 son para capturar máis títulos e para obter loitas de unificación. Tivemos algúns campións na categoría de peso, pero parece que ninguén está disposto a loitar contra os outros campións. Estamos dispostos a facer o que sexa preciso, loitar contra quen ten os títulos. Estamos dispostos a capturar todos os títulos sempre que os outros caras están dispostos a rexistrar para as loitas.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Ex-campión mundial Super Pena
“Miña preparación para esta loita está indo moi ben. Eu estou traballando para fóra na República Dominicana, pero eu vin de volta a Boston para rematar a miña formación. Agora estamos no 75% e pechando en 100%. I será completamente preparado cando é hora de loitar. Miña preparación e miña estratexia de facerme a cara máis perigoso.
“Eu vexo iso como ningunha outra loita que eu tiven antes, porque cada adversario é diferente. Todo o mundo ten o seu propio nicho neste nivel, algo que funciona para eles. Seu nicho é que é alto. Usa isto para a súa vantaxe. Pero non é nada que eu non poida superar. Xa loitei caras altos antes.
“Prefiro meus adversarios para ser máis alto. Xoga para o que eu son capaz de facer. Eu nunca tiven un problema cos adversarios máis altos. Abner Cotta (5-10) é un dos caras altos que eu loitei. Eu loitei en Chicago e poñer nun gran performance. (Fortuna marcou un 5th rolda KO contra Cotta)
“O meu obxectivo para 2018 é loitar contra todos os mellores loitadores de elite na miña categoría de peso, e eu estou tentando facer mencionado como un dos mellores no deporte. Realmente quero gañar un título mundial nunha categoría de peso diferente. Sería o maior momento tan lonxe da miña carreira para chegar máis un título mundial.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 Kos) – Arriba 10 clasificado en 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Meu opoñente (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) parece un duradeiro, cara durão. Vexo esta loita ser moi emocionante para os fans durante o tempo que dura. Vin un pouco de cinta sobre el. Sei que sempre ven en forma tip-top, e eu oín dicir que é consistente na súa actuación no arena. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Xan. 20.
“É sempre unha honra loitar aquí na casa e no Barclays Center. É especial para poder realizar diante deses fans e eu non podo esperar para poñer en unha boa actuación levando ata o Spence vs. loita Peterson.
“Esta loita me pode poñer na posición que eu teño ser-se para loitar por un título mundial. Non se pode desprovisto de calquera maneira. Teño que saír forte cun gran rendemento do principio ao final e non deixar ningunha dúbida alí.
“Para 2018, Quero me facer un campión do mundo. Estou determinado tomake ocorrer este ano. That vision starts on Xan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Loitou David BENAVIDEZ polo Barclays Center en xuño 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Espero que sexa o caso, que vai ser un choque para el, os fans eo seu equipo cando tomar o seu lugar na cola por un título. Quero facer fronte Eleider Álvarez na nosa cidade natal de Montreal despois de obter esta vitoria.
“A miña loita anterior no Barclays Center contra a corrente campión WBC David BENAVIDEZ era obviamente unha mala decisión do árbitro a deixar a loita, especialmente cando estaba gañando a rolda e BENAVIDEZ estaba a abrandar. Eu estaba quedando máis forte, mentres estaba quedando máis feble.
“I nunca foi ferido e nunca foi derrubado nunha loita. Quero Marcus para desafiar a si mesmo e ver se pode facer algo que ninguén máis ten. Estou animado para estar nunha loita desta magnitude. Marcus, é hora para nós para dar aos fans o que eles queren!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Orixinalmente de Polonia & loitando fóra de Brooklyn
“Esta loita será un paso máis para facer un campión. Eu sei que eu vou ter que traballar moi duro e probar que estou continuando a construír na miña vitoria contra Szpilka. Desde o vídeo que vin na Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), se move moi, entón eu vou ser a necesidade de cortar o anel. Todo o que trae para o ringue, Vou ter unha resposta para.
“Tres anos nunha cola agora eu teño loitado en xaneiro. Adoro comezando o ano forte. A miña muller e eu realmente comezou a tradición da “Kownacki Family Run” en medianoite on New Year’s Eve. Dende que eu estou sempre preparado para unha loita en torno de ano, cremos que podería moi ben divertirse mentres traballamos. Así, Nós imos ter uns amigos saír e realizar algunhas millas coa xente de todo o barrio durante os fogos de artificio. É divertido e axuda a me preparar.
“En definitiva, Eu estou mirando para facer o mellor na división peso pesado. O obxectivo final deste ano é para facer un campión do mundo. Pero o primeiro paso é tomar Iago Kiladze moi en serio. I can’t look past Xaneiro 20 agora mesmo. Eu teño un rival difícil, que vai desafiar e me facer un loitador mellor a longo prazo.”
Iago Kiladze, Terceira loita desde moverse para a división de pesos pesados (2-0, 2 Kos)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. Meu adestrador é Freddie Roach agora. Eu pelexaron con (IBF campión Cruiserweight) Murat Gassiev tres veces hai pouco, que é unha gran preparación para min. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. De calquera xeito, Eu vou ser vitorioso. Estou sinto que eu son o loitador máis cualificados e que debería amosar no arena.
“Esta é unha gran loita para a miña carreira e un comezo fantástico para 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“O meu obxectivo é ser campión do mundo a finais do 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.
