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

Lasă un comentariu

 

Brooklyn, NY (Ianuarie 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. Recent, 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,", A declarat Melson, o 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. Totuși, 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. De data asta, 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.”

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.

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Mănuși naționale de Aur. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. la 2012 Jocuri olimpice.

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 lupte, 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.

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.
 

Născut în 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, NJ.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,A spus Teah. “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.”

“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 cu 12 knockout. 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.
 

În schimb, 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.

Iată ce a avut de spus despre ianuarie lor luptătorii 20 matchups și mai mult:
ROBERT DE PAȘTE (20-0, 14 KO) – Efectuarea treia apărare a IBF Ușoare titlu mondial
“Această luptă poate stabili cu siguranta un ton bun pentru mine în 2018. Voi face o declarație cu această luptă. Ultimele mele trei lupte nu am ajuns un knock-out. Voi fi oferindu-fanii mei și lupta fanilor un spectacol bun.
“Am de gând să utilizeze o mică și lungimea mea și distruge acest tip din exterior. Toată cariera mea am fost lupta baieti mai scurte. Fiecare tip scund nu lupta același lucru. Dar te în ring și să-l simți afară și să facă ajustări.
“Nu e nimic, în special, că trebuie să se pregătească pentru cu Fortuna. Eu iau fiecare luptă la fel. Fiecare luptător luptă diferite, astfel încât să obțineți acolo, sa-l simt afară și să facă ajustări pe măsură ce merge de-a lungul. Nu sunt îngrijorat de el fiind stangaci. M-am confruntat cu o mulțime de stângaci în cariera mea și în amatori. Asta e nici o problema.
“Cred că ceea ce mă face să mă mai periculos boxer în această luptă are înălțimea pe care o fac și puterea stantare și viteza și mentalitatea precum. mentalitatea mea este că eu nu mă duc acolo să se joace în jurul cu el. Sunt gata să distrugă.
“Obiectivele mele pentru 2018 sunt de a capta mai multe titluri și pentru a obține crize de unificare. Am avut câțiva campioni din clasa de greutate, dar se pare că nimeni nu este dispus să lupte cu alți campioni. Suntem dispuși să facem tot ce este nevoie, lupta oricine are titlurile. Suntem dispuși să captureze toate acele titluri ori de câte ori ceilalți băieți sunt dispuși să se înscrie pentru luptele.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KO) – Fostul Campion Mondial Super Ușoară
“pregătirea mea pentru această luptă merge foarte bine. Am fost de lucru în Republica Dominicană, dar m-am întors la Boston pentru a termina formarea mea. Chiar acum suntem la 75% și de închidere de pe 100%. Eu voi fi complet pregătită atunci când este timpul pentru a lupta. pregătirea mea și strategia mea mi mai periculos tip face.
“Eu văd acest lucru ca nici o altă luptă pe care le-am avut înainte, pentru că fiecare adversar este diferit. Orice persoană are propria lor nișă la acest nivel, ceva care lucrează pentru ei. nisa lui este că el e înalt. El folosește în avantajul său. Dar nu e nimic care nu pot depăși. M-am luptat băieți înalți înainte.
“Prefer adversarii mei sa fie mai inalt. Se joacă în ce sunt în stare să fac. Nu am avut niciodată o problemă cu adversari mai inalti. Abner Cotto (5-10) este unul dintre băieți înalți pe care am luptat. M-am luptat în Chicago și a pus pe o mare performanță. (Fortuna a marcat un 5lea KO rundă împotriva Cotto)
“Scopul meu pentru 2018 este de a lupta împotriva tuturor top luptători de elită din clasa mea de greutate, și am încercat să devin menționat ca unul dintre cele mai bune din sport. Chiar vreau să câștige un alt titlu mondial într-o clasă de greutate diferită. Ar fi cel mai mare de până acum acest moment al carierei mele pentru a obține un alt titlu mondial.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KO) – Top 10 clasat la 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Adversarul meu (francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KO) arata ca un durabil, tip dur. Eu văd această luptă fiind foarte interesant pentru fani atât timp cât durează. Am văzut un pic de bandă pe el. Știu că întotdeauna vine în forma tip-top, și am auzit că e consecvent în interpretarea sa în ring. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Este întotdeauna o onoare să lupte aici, acasă și la Barclays Center. Este special pentru a putea efectua, în fața acestor fani și eu nu pot să aștept pentru a pune pe o performanță bună care duce la Spence vs. lupta Peterson.
“Această luptă mi-ar putea pune în poziția pe care trebuie să fiu în a lupta pentru un titlu mondial. Nu pot lipsi în nici un fel. Trebuie să iasă puternic cu o mare performanță de la început până la sfârșit și se lasă nici o îndoială acolo.
“Pentru 2018, Vreau să devin campion mondial. Sunt hotărât tomake se întâmple în acest an. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KO) – David Luptat Benavidez la Barclays Center din iunie 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Sper că e cazul, pentru că va fi un șoc pentru el, fanii și echipa lui atunci când iau locul lui în linie pentru un titlu. Vreau să se confrunte cu Eleider Alvarez în orașul nostru natal de la Montreal după ce am obține acest câștig.
“lupta mea anterioară la Barclays Center împotriva actualului campion WBC David Benavidez a fost, evident, o decizie foarte proastă de arbitru pentru a opri lupta, mai ales atunci când am fost câștigarea etapei și Benavidez a fost încetinirea. Am fost mai puternică în timp ce el a fost obtinerea mai slab.
“Nu am mai fost rănit și nu a fost abandonat într-o luptă. Vreau Marcus să se provoace și să vedem dacă el poate face ceva ce nimeni altcineva nu are. Sunt încântat să fiu într-o luptă de o asemenea magnitudine. Marcus, este timpul pentru noi pentru a da fanilor ceea ce doresc!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KO) – Originar din Polonia & lupta din Brooklyn
“Această luptă va fi un alt pas spre a deveni un campion. Știu că va trebui să lucreze foarte greu și dovedi că sunt în continuare să se bazeze pe victorie împotriva Szpilka. Din film l-am văzut pe Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KO), se mișcă mult, așa că voi avea nevoie să taie inelul. Oricare ar fi el aduce la inelul, Voi avea un răspuns.
“Trei ani la rând acum am luptat în ianuarie. Îmi place începând de pe anul puternic. Soția mea și am început de fapt, o tradiție a “Kownacki familie” la miezul nopții on New Year’s Eve. Din moment ce eu sunt mereu pregătesc pentru o luptă în jurul valorii de Anul Nou, ne-am gândit că s-ar putea avea la fel de bine distractiv în timp ce lucrăm. Așa, vom avea niște prieteni ieși și a alerga câteva mile cu noi în jurul valorii de cartier în timpul focuri de artificii. Este distractiv și ajută să mă gata.
“În cele din urmă, Sunt în căutarea de a deveni cel mai bun din divizia grea. Scopul final pentru acest an este de a deveni un campion mondial. Dar primul pas este de a lua foarte în serios Iago Kiladze. I can’t look past Ianuarie 20 chiar acum. Am un adversar dur, care va provocare și mă face un luptător mai bine pe termen lung.”
IAGO KILADZE, A treia luptă deoarece se deplaseze până la diviziunea grea (2-0, 2 KO)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. antrenorul meu este Freddie Roach acum. I sparred cu (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev de trei ori mai recent, care este o mare pregătire pentru mine. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Oricum, Voi fi victorios. Sunt simt că eu sunt luptător mai calificați și care vor arăta în ring.
“Aceasta este o lupta mare pentru cariera mea și un început teribil pentru 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Scopul meu este de a fi un campion mondial la sfârșitul anului 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”
