Omar Juarez’ Touching Story with Special Needs Child

Efterlad en kommentar
BROWNSVILLE, TX (November 10, 2020) – The rapidly expanding emergence of an inspirational leader continues unabated in the personage of undefeated super lightweight prospect, Omar Juarez (9-0, 4 KOS). An outstanding professional boxer by trade, Juarez is rising on the national stage with his recent designation as brand ambassador for the newly formed partnership between the California based Feet First Foundation and the globally recognized World Boxing Council’s humanitarian branch “World Boxing Cares”.


Omar Juarez’ carefully crafted message about the principles needed to achieve goals has positively affected young people’s lives in his hometown, Brownsville, Texas since he was 15-years old. The overwhelmingly positive feedback he has received from young people about his message has inspired him to even greater heights in this endeavor.


None more than a touching tribute he just received from a special needs child named Isaias, who deals with acute challenges that include communication. Isaias is limited to communicating through a laptop and was a frequent visitor to Omar’s gym on Fridays when it was opened to special needs kids.


As the pandemic took hold, Isaias found himself isolated at home and began to feel the effects of this isolation, he typed out a message of gratitude to Omar for being a source of inspiration and hope. His family acknowledged to Omar the much needed solace this represented to their son.


“To hear a message like the one I received from Isaias and his family made my day,” said Omar Juarez, who fights under the Premier Boxing Champions banner. “Its moments like these that keep me motivated as I continue to be a positive role model in my community. As a Chinese proverb states…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.”


These are the touching moments that energize Omar as he continues his quest to become an inspirational leader on a worldwide scale.

Sa'Rai Brown-El : The future of women’s boxing – 2020 USA Boxing Nationals, December. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

Efterlad en kommentar

Colorado Springs, Lap. (November 9, 2020) – The future of women’s boxing, måske, is 15-year-oldSa'Rai Brown-El, who has already captured top honors in 11 national and regional tournaments.

Since she started boxing in 2015, Sa’Rai has collected gold medals at the 2019 Junior Open, 2019 National PAL, 2019 & 2017 National Golden Gloves Tournaments og United States Olympic Trials, 2017 Western Regional Open, and Eastern Regional Open in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

“I stayed focused and hungry and, vigtigst, humble,” she spoke about her success in the junior division. “No matter how much you’ve accomplished or the number of accolades you’ve gotten, always stay hungry and always strive for more.”

Boxing started for her when she was 10, training at Lugo Boxing and Fitness in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to that in her native Albany (NY), she went to her uncle’s gym and found a pair of boxing gloves.

“I fell in love with boxing when I found that first pair of gloves,” Brown-El explained. “I first started boxing because, på dette tidspunkt, my dad didn’t agree with me. I saw a lot of people who didn’t agree with females competing in a male dominated sport, so I wanted to prove those people wrong. I just love boxing because my whole family boxes.”

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely effected most boxers, who were limited in terms of training and sparring, in addition to being shutout of tournaments. Brown-El, dog, made the best of a bad situation, running miles with her siblings, cardio mitt work with her father, and much more.

Brown-El has her sights firmly set on the 2020 USA Boxing nationale mesterskaber, December 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“I am super excited and super focused on the National Championships,” she added. “I am fighting to get on the USA High Performance Team for my second year. I really want this and I will be working hard every day. My goal for now is to be on Team USA for the second time. I want to fight internationally and be Number 1 in the world.”

Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.

“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 OL, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.

“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, sleep, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”

Sa’Rai Brown-El is on a golden path to stardom. She represents the future!

Giovanni Marquez following in Olympian and world champion father’s footsteps

2020 USA Boxing Nationals, December. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

Colorado Springs, Lap. (November 2, 2020) – Houston welterweight amateur boxerGiovanni Marquezis hoping for a little Deja-vu from his chief coach and grandfather, Arturo Marquez, who guided his son and Giovanni’s father, Raul “El Diamante” Marquez, to a roster spot on the 1992 USA Boxing Olympic Boxing Team.

Raul, who was a 2-time US amateur champion in two different weight classes, weltervægt, and junior middleweight, went on to become the International Boxing Federation (IBF) light middleweight World champion, retiring with a 41-4 (12 KOS) pro record.

Rather than turn pro this year, 19-year-old Giovanni remained in the amateur ranks, albeit with a series of goals, first and foremost, to capture a gold medal at the 2020 USA Boxing nationale mesterskaber, December 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“My goal this year is to win the U.S. Nationals and have outstanding performances throughout the tournament,” Giovanni reported. “My long-term goal is to compete internationally and represent the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

“The reason I returned for another year after missing in the Olympic Trials is because I still have a lot to prove on the amateur boxing scene. My team and I decided this was the best decision and I am still very young. My performances in every national tournament I’ve competed in have consistently improved every time. In my last national tournament – Last Chance Qualifier – I faced off withdELANTE Johnson, den 2020 US Olympic Qualification Team member, and I lost a split decision. Although I lost the fight, I proved that I could compete at the highest level with the top dogs. Now that I’m a little bit older, stærkere, and physically and mentally more mature, I’m confident I have what it takes to become No. 1 in the division. This is why my team and I decided to stay an amateur instead of turning pro.

“I’m very excited about these Nationals, excited to show what I’ve been working on and critiquing everyday inside the gym. Winning the Nationals will mean the world to me, as I have put in so much time and effort into this sport. With my experience gained the past few years, hard work and maturity, I am confident a gold medal awaits me in Shreveport.”

A boxer-puncher who makes the necessary adjustments needed to win, Giovanni has the ability to switch from his orthodox stance to southpaw, comfortably and effectively.

Being the son of a famous boxer, naturligt, has its advantages and disadvantages. Giovanni is ready to break out on his own, at least to some extent, with his grandfather and grandmother (Yolanda Marquez) working his corner, while his dad sits in the stands watching the action.

“Coming from a boxing family,” Giovanni remarked, “I was always in the gym messing around on the heavy bag while my father was training. The reason I started boxing was because it’s something that was just part of my family’s life. I had an interest to try it out myself and realized I was talented. I fell in love with the sport and haven’t looked back since. My first official fight was when I was 12.

“There definitely are more eyes on the son of a famous boxer. This doesn’t add pressure on me, it motivates me to prove that I am capable of accomplishing the same things my father did like winning national titles. To have a father with his experience and knowledge in boxing is truly a blessing.”

Training during the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t really been a problem, largely because his grandfather and father are boxing gym owners. Giovanni did struggle, selv, because he worried about his grandfather’s health due to his advanced age and susceptibility to dangerous complications if infected. They’ve stayed healthy by practicing social distancing and properly sanitizing each and every day in the gym.

“Being cornered by my grandfather is a good feeling,” Giovanni explained, “because I know everything he tells me is for my own good. I feel like my grandfather already created one Olympian in my dad, so he has all the right tools and knowledge to do the same with me.

“Not only is he my boxing coach, he’s also a mentor who has groomed me into the young man I am today. My father and uncle also help to train me by working the mitts and helping out with strength and conditioning workouts. Ultimately, it is a good feeling to have my family in my corner, pushing me beyond my limits in order for me to be successful.”

Giovanni Marquez is preparing to establish his own identity.

DEVIN HANEY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES AND PHOTOS: “I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer”

WBC Lightweight Champion Haney Battles Former Two-Time World Champion Yuriorkis Gamboa on Saturday, November 7 Live on DAZN from Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in an Event Presented by Matchroom USA and Devin Haney Promotions

LAS VEGAS, NV (Oktober 30, 2020) – Undefeated WBC lightweight world champion Devin “Drømmen” Haney (24-0, 15 KOS), will return to the ring on November 7, 2020, against former 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and two-time world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOS).


Haney vs. Gamboa is a 12-round world title fight taking place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be the main event on a highly anticipated Matchroom USA card in association with Devin Haney Kampagner, broadcast on DAZN.


Here is what Devin Haney, the WBC Lightweight Champion, had to say ahead of his fight with Gamboa as he wraps up his final day of training camp in Las Vegas.


On his recent training camp in Las Vegas.


“I stay in the gym, I basically live in the gym, so once camp begins, I put my all into training. I do not want to be outworked, and I am driven by those around me. I am extremely focused right now. I’m going to be the face of boxing.”


On returning after his shoulder injury.


“No athlete wants to ever be injured. I took the time I needed to, listened to the doctors, and let my body rest. One good thing from the social distancing and stay-at-home orders was it occurred during the time I was recovering so I was able to be fully rested once the gyms reopened. I am now 100% and better than ever, you will see on fight night.”


On his matchup with Yuriorkis Gamboa.


“Gamboa has done a lot in the sport, and the fact that he gave a lot of fighters tough fights, says a lot about him. I want to prove a point in this bout that a lot of people are not mentioning my name amongst the best in the world, and I am looking to change that by putting forth a performance against Gamboa that no one has ever seen before. I respect Gamboa as a fighter, but in the ring, I will have no respect for him at all. In the ring he is my enemy.


On what a spectacular win means for your career.


"Naturligvis, a win gives me my 2nd world title defense which is very important to me. Title defenses shows a lot about what kind of fighter you really are. I don’t care how you won it or who you won it from…can you defend the world title against all challengers? That’s what I represent as a throwback champion. You can have a strategy to get there but when you become a champion you become a target. Tank Davis, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia are all great potential opponents for me. I’d rather fight sooner than later but they have to feel the same way about me. I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer, and to do that I have to put forth billion-dollar performances. That’s exactly what I’m going to do on November 7th in Miami.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“My team and I decided to move our camp to Las Vegas so we could have a perfect camp. We spent 15 weeks in training, so I’m well prepared. Hopefully Leo is well prepared and we give the fans what they want to see.

“We know Leo is going to come with a lot of punches and I’m going to be explosive. It’s all about giving fans a treat. I’m grateful to be in this position and I’m ready. Saturday night is going to be a memorable night.

“Not to take anything from him, Yuriorkis Gamboa was just trying to survive against me. It’s harder to get punches off when someone isn’t trying to bring the fight. I know Leo is going to come to fight. I think this performance is going to put me up to the next level.

“I don’t think I have to knock him out, I just have to go out there and be great. Forget everything else, I just have to go out there and show everyone that I’m the top guy in the boxing world. That’s my main goal.

“Michael Jordan used to read the paper and do what they said he couldn’t do. That’s what I’m doing. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.

“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.

“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.

“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, but also do everything that comes with being the next pay-per-view star.

“I’m one of those fighters that knows how to focus when I have something big in front of me. None of the great fighters before me have frozen up when it’s crunch time. I’ve always been able to focus when big things are on the line. That’s what I did for this training camp.

“I’m not really focused on anyone who isn’t Leo Santa Cruz. I can’t overlook Leo. As far as any other fighter out there, they just don’t matter to me right now. I’ll prove it along the way. This is one step closer to proving the point I want to prove.”

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“This is what I’ve always dreamed of. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be on this stage. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.

“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.

“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.

“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. Uanset hvad, we’re going to find a way to beat him.

“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. It’s my job to go out there and prove the doubters wrong. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.

“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.

“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.

“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.

“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.

“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.

“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer

“Camp has been great. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.

“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.

“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. Han er en familie mand, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer

“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.

“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.

“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Præsident, Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13th with Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, sved, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”

“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 i Washington, D.C. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.

“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quiet, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. Pointen er, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.

“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them during Al adgang. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.

“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, hvor de kommer fra, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, fart, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Ud over at, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”

Film Chronicles the Unlikely Rise and Untimely Death of One of Boxing’s Most Colorful Champions

Premieres Friday, December 4 på 9 PM ET/PT

NEW YORK – October 27, 2020 – Showtime Sports Documentary Films today announced it will air MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY, an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Premiering Friday, December 4 på 9 p.m. ET / PT på SHOWTIME, the documentary debuts just two weeks after the eighth anniversary of Camacho’s fatal shooting in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

For the first time on film, MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY offers a thorough examination of an unlikely sports hero. The film celebrates Camacho’s sublime boxing skills and the unbridled charisma that brought Spanish Harlem and Puerto Rican culture to the center of the sports world. Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately lead to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012.

“Macho Camacho’s charisma, boxing prowess and flamboyant style made him a Puerto Rican sports icon, og, for a time, the biggest star in boxing. When he stepped into the ring, everyone knew it was ‘Macho Time,’” said Stephen Espinoza, Præsident, Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. “This film reveals the complex highs and lows of Hector’s life: the joy he brought so many, as well as the demons that he battled privately behind the scenes. Through it all, dog, Camacho brought boxing a level of showmanship and flamboyance that was far ahead of his time.”

Born in Bayamon and raised in the projects of Spanish Harlem in the 1970s, Camacho ascended to the pinnacle of boxing. His dynamic speed, footwork and power combined with his unparalleled showmanship helped usher in a new era of modern boxing and made him a member of an exclusive club of fighters who transcended the sport. The film tells the story of Camacho’s rise from a troubled youth to a multi-division world champion. MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY revisits Camacho’s unforgettable performances against legends such as Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez, and pivotal career turning points in bouts with Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and beloved New England fighter Vinny Pazienza. Through all the ups and downs and wins and losses, Camacho’s story of resilience is inspiring, selv, in the end, there was one opponent he could never beat – himself.

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY er directed by two-time Emmy® Award winner Eric Drath (Assault in the Ring and No Más, 30 for 30), and produced by Drath and Danielle Naassana, both of Live Star Entertainment. Sixteen-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Cohen served as writer and consulting producer.

Alexander “Den store” Flores drevet til at erobre Luis “King Kong” Ortiz

Efterlad en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Oktober 27, 2020) – Californisk sværvægter Alexander “Den store” Blomster (18-2-1, 16 KOS), hvis eneste pro-tab har været til verdensmestre, får mulighed for sin boksekarriere i november 7th, når han tager imod 2-dobbelt verdensmestertiteludfordrer Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (26 KOS).

King Kong vs. Alexander den Store sendes direkte på FOX tv, begyndende ved 8:00 p.m. OG / 5:30 p.m. PT, i 10-runders hovedbegivenhed på Premier Boxing Champions-kortet fra Microsoft Theatre i Los Angeles.

“Ortiz er en 2-dobbelt verdenstiteludfordrer, som har en masse erfaring,” sagde Flores. “Jeg er ung, sulten, drevet og fast besluttet på at vinde. At slå Ortiz er en livsændrende mulighed, som jeg ikke vil tage for givet.”

“Ortiz er en fantastisk fighter,” Blomster’ promotor Keith Veltre (RJJ Boxing CEO/medstifter) tilføjet, “men jeg tror, ​​han kan fortryde, at han kæmpede mod en sulten løve som Flores. At kæmpe mod eliten i sværvægtsdivisionen har aldrig været et problem for Alexander, hvis kun to tab har været til verdensmestre. Han fik uvurderlig erfaring i de kampe, som han vil tage ind i ringen mod Oritz. Vi vil gerne takke Team Ortiz, PBC og FOX for denne fantastiske mulighed.”

Den 30-årige Flores, kæmper ud af Roland Heights (F.EKS), tabt i 2014 til verdensmestre Charles Martin og Joseph Parker fire år senere erobrede Flores World Boxing Council (WBC) Ungdoms VM-titel i sværvægt 2012 med et stop i femte runde på Joey Montoya.

Cuba-fødte Ortiz, der bor i Miami, har kun tabt to gange, begge gange til verdensmester Deontay Wilder. Ortiz, en 41-årig sydpaw, har besejret en litani af sværvægtere i verdensklasse under sin 10 ½ års professionel karriere, herunder Christian Hammer, Travis Kaufman, Malik Scott, Tony Thompson, Bryan Jennings, Monte Barrett, Lateef Kayode og Epifanio Mendoza. Som en amatør, Ortiz havde en anmeldelse 349-19 rekord, og han erobrede en guldmedalje på 2006 Cubanske nationale mesterskaber.

Bokser en familieaffære for Idaho-amatørbokseren Kendra Samargis

Efterlad en kommentar
Colorado Springs, Lap. (Oktober 26, 2020) – Idaho mellemvægtsbokser Kendra (Reeves) Samargis‘ beslutningen for fire år siden om at tabe sig har ført hende ind på en vej til at konkurrere i 2020 USA Boxing nationale mesterskaber, December 5-12, på Shreveport Convention Center i Shreveport, Louisiana.

Boksning for den 26-årige Samargis, der bor i Twin Falls, er en rigtig familiesag. Hun er trænet af sin mand, Jason, og deres to sønner, Skyler Bellus (11) og Riley Marovich (8), er i USA Boxing. Skyler, faktisk, har deltaget i flere turneringer, hvor hans mor også kæmpede.

“Jeg kom til boksning bare som en form for vægttab,” Kendra forklarede. “Min mand havde været boksetræner i mange år, og han havde stadig alt sit udstyr. Vi satte den op i vores garage og begyndte at træne. Først, at starte var det værste, jeg nogensinde havde gjort. Mængden af ​​udholdenhed, udholdenhed, og den styrke, jeg skulle have, var uvirkelig. Langsomt over tid tabte jeg mig enormt, 73-pund for at være præcis, og jeg kom til at elske sporten.

“Jeg bliver altid spurgt, hvordan det er at blive trænet af min mand. Jeg siger altid, at jeg har et hemmeligt våben, en, der er i mit hjørne, som ønsker, at jeg skal lykkes lige så meget, som jeg gør, og støtter mig hele vejen igennem. Også, i tider, hvor vi er til turneringer, Jeg er aldrig alene aftenen før en stor kamp, ​​og hvis jeg har brug for en peptalk, han er lige der. Nu, mine sønner konkurrerer med mig, godt, det er en anden historie. At være på ydersiden af ​​ringen, mens mine drenge konkurrerer, er langt sværere end nogen kamp, ​​jeg nogensinde har haft. Min mor-side slår helt sikkert ind. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, selv, Jeg ved, hvor godt uddannede de er, og det må jeg stole på. Jeg arbejder ikke på deres hjørner, fordi det er for tæt på. Jeg ville kaste håndklædet i ringen hver gang. Jeg skal på tribunen.”

Kendra og begge hendes sønner skal konkurrere i Shreveport i år, på trods af at skulle træne under COVID-19-pandemien for at forberede sig til årets første nationale turnering i USA.

“Træning under pandemien har været en velsignelse for mig,” sagde Kendra. “Vi ejer nu et fitnesscenter i byen. Så, i de tider vi måtte lukke dørene, min mand, børn og jeg var i stand til at følge med i vores træningsprogram. Jeg lærte så meget i denne tid. Vi var faktisk i stand til at bremse tingene og arbejde på så mange ting, der bliver overset. Vi er også meget heldige at bo i en lille by, vi skulle kun holde vores fitnesscenter lukket i to måneder, og vi har været i gang siden. Jeg kunne kun forestille mig, hvor svært det må være for så mange mennesker i disse tider. Vi var meget velsignede med at have et fitnesscenter til at komme igennem.”

Lige nu placeret som nr. 10 på 152 pund og nr. 5 på 165, Kendras højdepunkter indtil videre er at vinde guldmedaljer på 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier og 2018 Nationale Golden Gloves turnering.

En aggressiv bokser, der kaster slag i flok, Samargis mener, at hun har opnået en dramatisk forbedring i de seneste år. Hun ændrede ganske vist mange forskellige dele af sit spil, mere fokus på bevægelse, fod- og hovedplaceringer.

Til sidst, hun ønsker at vinde tophæder ved flere nationale turneringer, starter med dette års landsmesterskab, og til sidst bliver proff for at vinde en verdenstitel. For nu, selv, hun er helt med til Nationals.

“Jeg er min største konkurrence til dette års nationale mesterskaber,” konkluderede hun. “Hver dag vil jeg være den bedste udgave af mig selv, og hver dag vågner jeg op til den spøgende mulighed, jeg kunne falde tilbage til den person, jeg plejede at være. Jeg er nødt til at gå i krig med mig selv hver dag for at holde denne person på afstand. Alle timers træning, ernæring og mental forberedelse hjælper mig med at opnå dette. Hver dag kan jeg fortsætte med at være den bedste udgave af mig selv, fokuserer kun på at blive bedre, så er det lige meget hvem jeg konkurrerer imod.

“Jeg er ovenud klar og spændt på de nationale mesterskaber i år. Når verden går i stå, vil dette være min første turnering i år. Jeg er klar til at komme tilbage i ringen. Medaljering vil give mig endnu en national titel under bæltet og skærpe mit CV, når jeg bliver professionel.”

Slot, et tidligere World Boxing Council (WBC) Muay Thai verdensmester, sikrede Women's International Boxing Association (WIBA) World Crown tilbage i oktober 2019, efter et stop i femte runde over Sutthinee Bamrungpao i Bangkok, Thailand.

Den 21. november skulle slottet oprindeligt forsvare hendes WIBA World Crown mod Judit Hachbold, betinget af, at Hachbolds medicinske suspension udstedt af Florida State Boxing Commission i det mindste er løst 30 dage før begivenheden, hvilket ikke er sket. En erstatningsmodstander vil blive annonceret til sin tid.
