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

 

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. V zadnjem času, 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,"Je dejal Melson, a 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. Vendar, 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. Tokrat, 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.”

“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

“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.

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.”

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.

ROBERT VELIKONOČNA (20-0, 14 Kos) – Izdelava tretjo obrambo IBF lahki svetovnega naslova
“Ta boj je mogoče z gotovostjo določiti dober signal za mene v 2018. Bom se kar izjavo s tem boju. Moje zadnje tri borbe nisem dobila Knockout. Bom dajal svoje navijače in boj fans dobro predstavo.
“Bom uporabila svoj doseg in dolžino in uničiti ta fant od zunaj. Vse moje kariere sem bil boj krajše fantje. Vsak kratek človek ne boriti enako. Ampak prideš v ring in ga čutijo, in prilagoditve.
“Nič še zlasti, da moram pripraviti s Fortuna. Vzamem vsak boj enaka. Vsak borec bori drugačna, tako da boste dobili tam, čutijo ga ven in prilagoditve, ko gredo skupaj. Nisem zaskrbljen mu čemer Ljevak. Sem se soočajo veliko Lefties v moji karieri in amaterji. To je brez težav na vseh.
“Mislim, da tisto, kar me še bolj nevaren boksar v tem boju ima višino, da jaz in izsekavanje moč in hitrost in način razmišljanja, kot tudi. Moja miselnost je, da ne bom tam igral z njim. Pripravljen sem, da se uniči.
“Moji cilji za 2018 so, da zajame več naslovov in da bi dobili poenotenje napade. Imeli smo nekaj prvaka v razredu teže, vendar se zdi, da je nihče ni pripravljen boriti druge prvake. Mi smo pripravljeni storiti karkoli je potrebno, boj kdor ima naslovov. Mi smo pripravljeni, da zajame vse tiste naslove, kadar so drugi fantje pripravljeni, da se prijavite za borbe.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Nekdanja super lahka stvar svetovni prvak
“Moja priprava za ta boj je šlo zelo dobro. Sem delal v Dominikanski republiki, vendar sem se vrnil v Boston, da končam izobraževanje. Zdaj smo na 75% in zapiranja na 100%. Bom popolnoma pripravljen, ko je čas za boj. Moja priprava in moja strategija, da me bolj nevaren tip.
“Vidim, da je to kot nobena druga boju, ki sem jih imel prej, ker je vsak nasprotnik je drugačen. Vsakdo ima svojo nišo na tej ravni, nekaj, kar deluje za njih. Njegova niša je, da je visok. On uporablja, da v svojo korist. Ampak to ni nič, da ne more premagati. Sem se bori visok fantje pred.
“Raje svoje nasprotnike, da je višja. To je igra na tisto, kar sem sposoben narediti. Nikoli nisem imel težav z Taller nasprotniki. Abner Cotto (5-10) je eden od visokih fantov, ki sem se borili. Boril sem se v Chicagu in dal na veliko uspešnost. (Fortuna dosegel 5th Okrogla KO proti COTTO)
“Moj cilj za 2018 je boj vseh najboljših elitnih borcev v mojem razredu teže, in poskušam postati omenja kot eden najboljših v tem športu. Res bi rad, da osvoji naslov svetovnega prvaka v drugem razredu teže. To bi bil največji trenutek doslej v moji karieri, da bi dobili še naslov svetovnega prvaka.”
MARCUS Browne (20-0, 15 Kos) – Top 10 uvrščen na 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Moj nasprotnik (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) Izgleda trajno, Korenjak. Vidim, da je ta boj pa je zelo zanimivo za ljubitelje dokler traja. Videl sem malo traku na njem. Vem, da je vedno na voljo v tip-top formi, in sem slišal, da je v skladu s svojim nastopom v ringu. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“To je vedno čast, da sem boj doma in v Barclays Centru. To je posebna, da lahko opravlja pred temi navijači in komaj čakam, da dajo na dobre rezultate, ki vodi do Spence vs. Peterson boj.
“Ta boj bi me dal v položaj, da moram biti v boju za naslov svetovnega prvaka. Ne morem manjka na kakršen koli način. Moram priti ven močna z odličnim nastopom od začetka do konca in ne puščajo nobenega dvoma tam.
“Za 2018, Želim, da postane svetovni prvak. Sem odločen tomake se je zgodilo v tem letu. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.
Francy NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Borili David Benavidez v Barclays Centru v juniju 2015
I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Upam, da je temu tako, saj to se dogaja, je šok, ki mu, ventilatorji in njegova ekipa, ko sem se prvo mesto v vrsti za naslov. Želim soočiti Eleider Alvarez v našem domačem kraju Montreal, ko sem dobil to zmago.
“Moj prejšnji boj v Barclays Centru proti trenutni WBC prvak David Benavidez je očitno zelo slaba odločitev, ki jo sprejme sodnik prekine borbo, še posebej, ko sem bil zmagovalni krog in Benavidez bila upočasnitev. Sem bil še močnejši, ko je bil že šibkejši.
“Sem bil nikoli poškodovan in nikoli ni padel v boju. Želim Marcus sam izziv in videli, če lahko naredi nekaj, nihče ni drugega. Jaz sem navdušena, da je v boju za te velikosti. Marcus, je čas za nas, da bi se navijačem, kaj hočejo!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Prvotno iz Poljske & boj iz Brooklyna
“Ta boj se bo še en korak v smeri, da postane prvak. Vem, da bom moral trdo delati in dokazati, da sem še naprej graditi na mojo zmago proti Szpilka. Od video sem videl na Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), se giblje veliko, tako da bom potreboval, da bi prekinil obroč. Karkoli je prinaša obroča, Jaz bom odgovor za.
“Tri leta zapored zdaj sem bil boj v januarju. Ljubim speljevanju leto močno. Moja žena in sem dejansko začela tradicija “Kownacki Family Run” pri midnight on New Year’s Eve. Ker sem vedno pripravlja na boj okrog novega leta, smo ugotovili bomo morda tudi zabavali, medtem ko delamo. Torej, bomo imeli nekaj prijatelji pridejo ven in teče nekaj kilometrov z nami po soseski v ognjemet. To je zabavno in pomaga me pripravljeni.
“Navsezadnje, Iščem postati najboljši v težki delitev. Končni cilj za letos je, da postane svetovni prvak. Ampak prvi korak je ob Iago Kiladze zelo resno. I can’t look past Januar 20 zdaj. Imam težka nasprotnika, ki bo izziv in bi mi boljši borec na dolgi rok.”
Iago Kiladze, Tretji boj od poti do težki delitev (2-0, 2 Kos)
I feel great and my training has been terrific. Moj trener je Freddie Roach zdaj. sparred sem z (IBF Cruiserweight prvak) Murat Gassiev trikrat v zadnjem času, ki je odlična priprava za mene. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Kakorkoli, Bom zmagala. Jaz sem občutek, da sem bolj usposobljenih borec in da bo pokazal v ringu.
“To je velik boj za mojo kariero in grozen začetek za 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Moj cilj je, da bo svetovni prvak na koncu 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.
