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

Legg igjen en kommentar

 

Brooklyn, NY (Januar 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. Nylig, 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,"Sa Melson, en 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. Men, 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. Denne gangen, 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.”

An undefeated boxer losing for the first time was a common theme on ShoBox in 2017 som 15 prospects lost their perfect record on the popular developmental series last year. Now in its 17th year, a total of 171 fighters have suffered their first loss on ShoBox.

RONALD ELLIS vs. JUNIOR YOUNAN – 10-Round Super Middleweight

 

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, Mass., 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. Dette er min første main event, 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 Nasjonale Golden Gloves. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. i 2012 OL.
 

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 i en alder av 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, den 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, New York. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 kamper, 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,sa Romero. “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.
 

Født i 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 profesjonelle kamper, 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. Helt siden jeg begynte å bokse, 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, inkludert to enstemmige avgjørelser over tidligere ubeseirede Ladarius Miller og 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 med 12 knockouts. 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.
 

I stedet, 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.
 

Barry Tompkins vil kalle ShoBox-aksjonen fra ringside med Steve Farhood og tidligere verdensmester Raul Marquez som ekspertanalytikere. Den utøvende produsent er Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan produsere og Rick Phillips dirigere.

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si om sitt januar 20 dueller og mer:
ROBERT PÅSKE (20-0, 14 KOs) – Making tredje forsvar av IBF Lett Verden tittel
“Denne kampen kan definitivt sette en god tone for meg i 2018. Jeg kommer til å være å lage en uttalelse med denne kampen. Mine tre siste kamper har jeg ikke fått en knockout. Jeg kommer til å være å gi mine fans og kjempe fans et bra show.
“Jeg kommer til å bruke min rekkevidde og lengde og ødelegge denne fyren fra utsiden. All min karriere jeg har slåss kortere gutta. Hvert kort fyr ikke kjempe på samme. Men du får i ringen og du føler ham ut og foreta justeringer.
“Det er ikke noe spesielt som jeg må forberede seg med Fortuna. Jeg tar hver kamp samme. Hver fighter kamper forskjellig så du får der, føler ham ut og foreta justeringer mens du går. Jeg er ikke bekymret for ham å være en southpaw. Jeg har møtt mange lefties i min karriere og amatører. Det er ingen problemer i det hele tatt.
“Jeg tror det som gjør meg mer farlig bokseren i denne kampen er å ha den høyden som jeg gjør og slagkraft og hastighet og tankesett samt. Min tenkemåte er at jeg ikke kommer inn der for å leke seg med ham. Jeg er klar til å ødelegge.
“Mine mål for 2018 er å fange opp flere titler, og for å få gjenforeningen bouts. Vi hadde noen vinnere i vektklassen, men det ser ut til at ingen er villig til å kjempe mot andre vinnere. Vi er villig til å gjøre hva det tar, bekjempe den som har titlene. Vi er villig til å fange opp alle disse titlene når de andre gutta er villige til å melde seg på kampene.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOs) – Tidligere super fjærvekt verdensmester
“Min forberedelse til denne kampen går veldig bra. Jeg har jobbet ut i Den dominikanske republikk, men jeg har kommet tilbake til Boston for å fullføre min trening. Akkurat nå er vi på 75% og nærmer seg 100%. Jeg vil være helt forberedt når det er på tide å slåss. Min forberedelse og min strategi gjør meg mer farlig fyr.
“Jeg ser dette som ingen andre kamp som jeg har hatt før, fordi hver motstander er forskjellige. Alle har sin egen nisje på dette nivået, noe som fungerer for dem. Hans nisje er at han er høy. Han bruker det til sin fordel. Men det er ingenting som jeg ikke kan overvinne. Jeg har kjempet høye gutta før.
“Jeg foretrekker mine motstandere for å være høyere. Det spiller inn i hva jeg er i stand til å gjøre. Jeg har aldri hatt et problem med høyere motstandere. Abner Cotto (5-10) er en av høye gutta som jeg kjempet. Jeg kjempet i Chicago og sette på en stor ytelse. (Fortuna scoret 5th runde KO mot Cotto)
“Mitt mål for 2018 er å bekjempe alle de beste elite jagerfly i min vektklasse, og jeg prøver å bli nevnt som en av de beste i idretten. Jeg ønsker virkelig å vinne en VM-tittel i en annen vektklasse. Det ville være den største øyeblikk så langt i min karriere å få en annen verden tittel.”
Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 KOs) – Topp 10 rangert på 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Min motstander (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOs) ser ut som en holdbar, tøffing. Jeg ser denne kampen blir veldig spennende for fansen så lenge det varer. Jeg så en liten bit av tape på ham. Jeg vet at han alltid kommer i toppform, og jeg hører han er konsekvent i sin opptreden i ringen. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Det er alltid en ære å kjempe her hjemme og på Barclays Center. Det er spesielt å være i stand til å utføre foran disse fans, og jeg kan ikke vente med å sette på en god prestasjon som fører opp til Spence vs. Peterson kampen.
“Denne kampen kunne sette meg i den posisjonen at jeg trenger å være i for å kjempe for en verden tittel. Jeg kan ikke mangle på noen måte. Jeg må komme ut sterkt med stor ytelse fra start til slutt og etterlater ingen tvil i det.
“For 2018, Jeg ønsker å bli en verdensmester. Jeg er fast bestemt på tomake det skje i år. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOs) – Kjempet David Benavidez på Barclays Center i juni 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Jeg håper det er tilfelle, fordi det kommer til å være et sjokk for ham, fansen og teamet hans når jeg tar hans plass i kø for en tittel. Jeg ønsker å møte Eleider Alvarez i vår hjemby Montreal etter at jeg får denne seieren.
“Min forrige kamp på Barclays Center mot strømmen WBC-mester David Benavidez var tydeligvis en svært dårlig avgjørelse av dommeren å stoppe kampen, spesielt når jeg var å vinne runden og Benavidez var sakker. Jeg begynte å bli sterkere mens han stadig svakere.
“Jeg har aldri vært skadet og aldri blitt droppet i en kamp. Jeg ønsker Marcus å utfordre seg selv og se om han kan gjøre noe ingen andre har. Jeg gleder meg til å være i en kamp i denne størrelsesorden. Marcus, det er på tide for oss å gi fansen det de vil ha!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOs) – Opprinnelig fra Polen & bekjempelse av Brooklyn
“Denne kampen kommer til å bli enda et steg mot å bli en mester. Jeg vet at jeg kommer til å jobbe veldig hardt og bevise at jeg fortsetter å bygge på min seier mot Szpilka. Fra videoen jeg har sett på Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOs), han beveger seg mye, så jeg skal være behov for å kutte av ringen. Uansett hva han bringer til ringen, Jeg vil ha et svar for.
“Tre år på rad nå har jeg kjempet i januar. Jeg elsker start av året sterk. Min kone og jeg faktisk startet en tradisjon av “Kownacki Family Run” ved midnatt on New Year’s Eve. Siden jeg alltid forbereder seg til en kamp rundt nyttårs, vi tenkte vi kan like godt ha det gøy mens vi jobber. Så, vi har noen venner komme ut og kjøre noen få miles med oss ​​rundt i nabolaget i løpet av fyrverkeri. Det er morsomt og bidrar til å få meg klar.
“Til syvende og sist, Jeg ønsker å bli den beste i tungvekt divisjon. Det endelige målet for dette året er å bli verdensmester. Men den aller første skritt er å ta Iago Kiladze svært alvorlig. I can’t look past Januar 20 akkurat nå. Jeg har en tøff motstander som vil utfordre og gjøre meg til en bedre fighter i det lange løp.”
Iago Kiladze, Tredje kamp siden flytte opp til tungvekt divisjon (2-0, 2 KOs)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Min trener er Freddie Roach nå. Jeg sparred med (IBF Cruiservekt Champion) Murat Gassiev tre ganger nylig som er en fin forberedelse til meg. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Uansett, Jeg vil seire. Jeg føler at jeg er mer dyktig fighter og som vil vise i ringen.
“Dette er en stor kamp for min karriere og en veldig bra start for 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Mitt mål er å bli verdensmester på slutten av 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”
