PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Maj 5, 2020) – Undefeated super welterweight prospectLamont “The Blessed One” Powell, based on a near death experience 2-½ years ago in Providence, could easily have “Me fat” as his nickname.

The 26-year-old Powell was a three-time Silver Mittens champion, who compiled a 45-4 rekord amator, prior to turning two years ago. Ai është 5-0 (1 KO) as a professional but, due to the pandemic, he hasn’t fought since last August, when he won a 4-round unanimous decision over 14-7-1Ricardo Garcia.

Back on that near fatal night in 2018, Lamont and his uncle were sitting in a car in front of Powell’s home, when another vehicle suddenly and surprisingly stopped near them. Two unidentified young men jumped out and starting firing automatic weapons in Powell’s direction. Thirty-six rounds were shot, one hit Powell’s uncle in the leg, but Powell somehow miraculously escaped without a scratch.

“No bullets hit me,” Powell confirmed. “I’m blessed and the reason for that is God and my mother – we lost her (Melissa) when I was 3 – who is my guardian angel. We were just sitting in a car, when two kids got out of a car and starting shooting our car. They had extended clips, but I don’t know who they were, and neither do the police to this day. My uncle was taken to the hospital and I had to start watching myself closer.”

Powell’s grandparents – **Phillip Copper** dheMary Ann Powell – brought him up, because his mother had passed away and his father was in and out of his life. His grandmother is his legal guardian and his grandfather has been like a father since he was a baby.

Naturally, after his surreal experience, Powell dramatically changed his lifestyle. Instead of running the streets and ending up like many people he knew, dead or incarcerated, Powell dedicated himself to boxing and created a charity for high-risk kids, *Gloves Up, Guns Down*, sponsored by Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, where he trains with his grandfather as head coach, as well as having former U.S. Olympian boxerJason “Big Gjashtë” Rrugë në këndin e tij.

After the shooting somebody who had been shot in the head reached out to Powell. They met to talk about what they’d been through and soon createdGloves up, Guns Down, që “blew up” overnight, according to Powell.

“Gloves Up, Guns Down” offers at-risk youngsters an opportunity to try boxing as part of an after-school program aimed to keep kids active and out of trouble. Kids are supplied with boxing equipment and taught valuable lessons through boxing with proper coaching and support.
“I started boxing when I was eight years old,” Powell added. “Boxing kept me off of the streets and busy. This is a sport outside of school that everyone can get involved in.”

Powell is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Sports and Entertainment (CES). Burchfield clearly remembers the first time he saw Powell, because he was so impressive running a hilly 2 ½ mile course around a pond at Lincoln Woods State Park.

“I walk there often, and I’ve watched everybody struggle running those hills, including top athletes, but I saw this kid running the hills without a problem,” Burchfield remembered. “I later found out that he was a boxer and knew I’d never have to worry about him being in top shape.

“Lamont came to see me with his grandfather, who has been such a big part of his life, and laterRoland Estrada joined us. I was impressed because Lamont had a full-time job, ende, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. Një ditë, he called and asked if I would go with him to the Met School, where he was going to be speaking to about 150 kids and teachers. He spoke about running the streets and admitted that he had done it all. He said to me that if he could impact the lives of one or two of those kids, he’d feel happy, and that brought tears to my eyes. He was going speak at other schools, but this pandemic has put that on hold for now. His program is No. 1 in his life, helping at-risk kids so they don’t repeat what Lamont did when he was younger.”

Në unazën, Powell displays a stiff jab and, sigurisht, tremendous conditioning. And like most boxers, he believes that he’ll be a champion someday.

“Everything is going as planned with CES,” Powell concluded. “My grandfather has been my head coach since day one, Jason also coaches me, and Doc. Estrada is my adviser. Boxing came naturally to me. I just needed to put in the hard work. Someday I will be a champion and I can’t wait to see my grandfather in the ring holding the belt over his head, because nobody deserves that more than him.”

Burchfield has been a boxing promoter for nearly 30 vjet, and he agrees that Powell will be a champion someday. “He’s definitely is on a mission to be a champion,” Burchfield added, and he has everything needed to make that happen. This kid has a really good story. He can be a champion and continue helping at-risk kids have better lives. What’s better than that?”

Powell, who also gave-away toys to children in need last Christmas at Big Six Boxing Academy, is on the boxing journey of his career that he believes will climax someday with him being crowned world champion.

Shkurtimisht, Lamont Powell is the total package, në dhe nga unaza. And lucky to be alive!

Born to box Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini

Prill 27, 2020 FNU47 Lini një koment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Prehër. (Prill 27, 2020) — As the son of a prizefighter, International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee (“Class of 2015”) **Rreze “Boom Boom” Mancini** was born to box, and the Youngstown, Ohio fighter climbed to the top of the sport’s mountain, capturing the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight title in 1982.

Mancini’s father, vonë **Lenny “Boom Boom” Mancini**, boxed professionally from 1937 në 1947, hartimin e një 46-12-3 (16 KO) pro record. Lenny was the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the world in 1941 and considered a future world champion. Megjithatë, his dream was sadly shattered when he was wounded during World War II. He returned to boxing after being discharged, but his physical issues due to the wound prevented him from fulfilling his once vast potential.

His son, Rreze, took the mantle and ran with it to fame, glory and notoriety as a world champion. He started boxing young and had his first fight when he was 15 at the Junior Olympics in Cleveland. Ray had thought that he would have to wait until he turned 16, because that was the minimum age to compete in the Golden Gloves.

“When I heard that I could enter (the Junior Olympics),” Mancini remembered, “I pressured my father to let me go (to Cleveland). A very close family friend was training some guys in the next town over from us and he was taking some fighters to the Junior Olympics. He said he’d take me there. I won by first fight by first-round knockout and I wound up winning the regional title. I went on to the Mid-West Regional in Detroit and fought a local kid, **Sammy Fuentes**, to go to the Nationals. He beat me by decision, but I gained my first real lesson about boxing and life: experience is everything. It was my sixth amateur fight and I was told that Fuentes had more than 200. It did not deter me, në të vërtetë, it made me hungrier to succeed.”

Succeed he did, despite his aggressive style that best suited the professional ranks much more than amateurs. He won 43 i 50 amateur matches, capturing top honors in the 1977 Youngstown Golden Gloves and Northeastern Ohio Golden Gloves. He also won the Northeast Ohio AAU Championship and reached the quarterfinals of the 1978 National AAU Tournament.

“I lost a close decision in the semifinals of the 1978 National Golden Gloves to two-time U.S. Madhështor **Davey Armstrong**,” Mancini said. “I lost a decision to **Anthony Fletcher** in the quarterfinals of the 1978 National AAU Championships and once again in the championship final of the Ohio State Fair. In my last amateur fight, I lost a bad decision to defending National Champion **Melvin Paul** në 1979 Doreza kombëtare Artë Tournament. (Pas kësaj) I knew I wasn’t going to have another amateur fight and was going to turn pro.

“I had more of a pro style when I fought in the amateurs. Three rounds didn’t benefit me. I never had a four-round fight (si një pro). I started with six-rounders because, for my style, a three-round amateur or a four-round pro fight were pretty much the same for me. Six-rounders were more beneficial to me and that was proven right away.

“I knew I wouldn’t win any of the major amateur championships because of my style. Gjatë rrugës, megjithëse, I beat some pretty good amateurs: **Darryl Chambers**,**Memo Arreola**, **Tim Christianson** dhe **Mark Chieverini**. My amateur career just made me even more hungry to win a World title as a pro.”

His seek and destroy style made him an instant favorite as a professional. “I had to be aggressive, as a fighter or on the playing field when I played other sports, because of my natural instincts,” Mancini explained. “I couldn’t sit back and wait for things to happen; I had to try and make things happen. I follow that thinking in my business life as well, but much like the fight game, you have to known when to attack and when to sit back and counter.”

Mancini, who some called a little Rocky Marciano because of the way he fought, turned pro October 18, 1979 in Struthers, Ohio, ndalim **Phil Bowen** në raundin e hapjes. Ray fought 15 times in his first year as a pro and extended his winning streak to 19, before he challenged World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight World champion **Alexis Arguello** (67-5), who won by way of a 14-round technical knockout, in a fight that was dead even after 10 raunde. After the match, then future Hall of Famer Arguello was quoted as saying: “I think my heart is special, but his (Mancini) is bigger than I have. Someday he will be champion.”

Only seven months and three fights later, Mancini captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight World title way of a sensational first-round knockout of defending champion **Arturo Frias** (24-1). Ray dedicated that fight to his father, who was unable to become world champion, due to the wounds he suffered in World War II.

Mancini finished his pro career with a 29-5 (23 KO), which included victories against world champions **Bobby Chacon** (523-5-1), **Ernesto Espana** (35-4), Frias and **Jose Luis Ramirez** (71-3), and all five of his losses were to world champions – Arguello, **Hector Camacho**, **Greg Haughen** dhe **Livingstone Bramble** (dy herë).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” tha **Chris Cugliari**, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “Even though his in-ring success is primarily discussed at the professional level, the hunger to learn and grow as an amateur is something that inspires today’s USA Boxing champions. He is another example of a USA Boxing alumnus who experienced tremendous success resulting from experiences and lessons from his amateur days.”

Mancini is proud of his roots in Youngstown, which also produced world pro boxing champions such as **Harry Arroyo**, **Jeff Lampkin**, **Greg Richardson** dhe **Kelly Pavlik**.

“Growing up in Youngstown helped me tremendously as a fighter,” Mancini talked about his hometown. “We all knew what a tough town it was and is and we knew the stories of all the fighters, amateur and pro, who had left a mark before us. Growing up there, football and boxing were the two sports everybody talked about. If you left a mark in either one, people still talked about you long after you’re playing, or fight days were over. Kështu, to succeed in a town like Youngstown, was a tremendous accomplishment in itself.”

**USA Boxing Alumni Association**

Created to champion lifelong, mutually beneficial relationships between USA Boxing and its alumni, — boxers, officials, coaches and boxing fans — The Alumni Association connects generations of champions, inspiring and giving back to USA Boxing’s future boxing champions, në dhe nga unaza.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association is open to anyone who has a love for boxing and would like to stay connected with amateur boxing. Members are granted access to a wide variety of special events hosted by the Alumni Association, including its annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception.

To join the Alumni Association, simply register at alumni@usaboxing.org for a $40.00 per year membership fee. New members will receive a T-shirt, key-chain and e-wallet.

The ultra-popular Mancini is one of the few boxers to have had a movie (“Heart of a Champion: The Ray Mancini Story)”), song (“Boom Boom Mancini” by Warren Zevon) and book (“The Good Son: The Life of Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini by Mark Kriegel) about him.

Sot, the 59-year-old Mancini still resides in Youngstown, and he remains involved in boxing as a color commentator for PBC on Fox. He’s also been a member of the Ohio Boxing Commission for the last three years. “I’m involved (në boks) as close as I want to be and can still be a fan,” ai pranoi. “What I miss most about the fight game is challenging myself mentally and emotionally, and to be able to “get up” and challenge myself physically on a daily basis. To stand in front of another man before the fight, right in the center of the ring, and say to myself, ‘Either you’re getting carried out of here tonight or I am, but one of us is getting carried out of here tonight,’ was my mentality. I miss that challenge!”

Looking back at his boxing career, Mancini maintains that he wouldn’t change a thing. “I can’t say I would do anything different, in retrospect, because I won the World title, successfully defended it four times, made good money and retired healthy,” Mancini concluded. “People still remember and talk about my fights and I made it into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, the ultimate shrine for fighters. Kështu, why would I want to have done anything differently?”

Boksierët më të mirë amatorë të SHBA-ve që i përshtaten jetës pa përleshje & duke pritur edhe një vit për shfaqjen Olimpike

Arjan Iseni stërvitet gjatë pandemisë

COLORADO SPRINGS, Prehër. (Prill 23, 2020) — Boksi amator, si në gradat profesionale, është mbyllur në të gjithë botën për shkak të pandemisë Coronavirus. Anëtarët e Boksit të USA po përshtaten me këto kohë sfiduese dhe provuese në të gjithë vendin.

Palestrat dhe shkollat janë të mbyllura, turne të pezulluar, dhe 2020 Lojërat Olimpike Verore në Tokio janë shtyrë për një vit. Anëtarët e Kualifikimit Elitë, Ekipet e të rinjve dhe të rinjve me performancë të lartë janë në shtëpi sesa në trajnimin e Colorado Springs në Qendrën e Trajnimit Olimpik dhe Paraolimpik të Shteteve të Bashkuara.

Si janë disa nga SHBA-të kryesore. boksierë amatorë që jetojnë gjatë kësaj periudhe pa luftime?

**EKIPI ELITE I KUALIFIKIMIT OLIMPIK**

***Joseph Hicks*** (Grand Rapids, Michigan), 26-pesha e mesme vjeçare, Renditja në SHBA #2

Hicks ishte brenda një fitoreje kualifikuese për t'u bërë zyrtarisht anëtar i 2020 Ekipi Ekipi Olimpik i Boksit në SHBA. Ai po shfrytëzon pushimin, megjithëse, duke kaluar një kohë cilësore me gruan dhe vajzën e tij të vogël.

“

Unë personalisht mendoj se ky ka qenë një bekim i maskuar, sepse kam më shumë kohë për të përmirësuar gjërat që trajnerët e SHBA më kanë thënë të punoj. Unë jetoj në një apartament në Lansing (MY), por unë kam qenë duke qëndruar me mamanë time në Grand Rapids në mënyrë që të mund të stërvitem komodisht. Weshtë e çuditshme në një farë mënyre, por më ka marrë malli për tu grushtuar. Jam përpjekur të përshtatem me normalin e ri, por mezi pres të kthehem në qendrën e trajnimit (në Colorado Springs).

“Më pëlqen që mund ta shoh vajzën time çdo ditë për t'i dhënë asaj gjithë vëmendjen time, por asaj i mungon palestra po aq sa unë. Gruaja dhe nëna ime kanë qenë shumë mbështetëse. Unë besoj se duke pritur një vit tjetër do të më bëjë më të mirë deri në momentin kur Lojërat Olimpike janë këtu.”

Jones kishte qenë në një listë që çoi deri në kualifikuesin e shtyrë të Amerikës për të bllokuar një vend në listë 2020 Ekipi Ekipi Olimpik i Boksit në SHBA. Ajo ka qenë duke u stërvitur në palestrën e familjes së saj në Toledo, si dhe përfshirja më e madhe në shërbimet dhe funksionet e komunitetit.

“Unë nuk jam përshtatur me jetën pa boks, sepse boksi nuk do të largohet kurrë nga jeta ime. Familja ime / trajnerët kanë një palestër të lidhur me shtëpinë tonë në të cilën jetojmë. Boksi nuk është një sport, është një mënyrë jetese .

“Zemra më ra kur dëgjova për herë të parë që Lojërat Olimpike ishin shtyrë. Gjithçka për të cilën kam punuar, në thelb, gjithë jeta ime është në pauzë deri në korrikun e ardhshëm. Unë nuk e di se si ndihem apo si të shpreh se si ndihem. E vetmja gjë që mund të bëj është të përpiqem të qëndroj e motivuar.”

Iseni jeton në epiqendrën e Coronavirusit, Ishulli Staten, NY. Ai dhe babai i tij ndërtuan një unazë të vogël në oborrin e shtëpisë së tyre (shih foton më poshtë) sepse ai nuk mund të stërvitej në asnjë palestër.

“Veryshtë shumë e vështirë të dihet se nuk do të jem në gjendje të përfaqësoj Team USA këtë vit në asnjë turne ndërkombëtar. Ky është viti im i fundit si boksier për të rinj, por unë kam qenë duke u stërvitur shumë fort gjatë karantinës, dhe unë do të jem i gatshëm për gjithçka që do të vijë më pas.

“Shtë e vështirë të dish se nuk do të luftoj shpejt, por kjo më jep më shumë kohë për të përsosur të metat e vogla në lojën time, dhe unë do të rikthehem më i fortë kur të mbarojë gjithçka. Shpresojmë, gjithçka kthehet në normalitet së shpejti, kështu që unë mund t'i kthehem luftimeve në mënyrë aktive dhe shpresoj ta bëj Team USA si një boksier elitar.”

Patricio jeton më larg nga kampi stërvitor dhe shokët e saj të skuadrës, por familja e saj ka një palestër boksi, dhe trajnimi / sparring nuk është problem për të sepse ajo ka tetë vëllezër e motra.

“Ne jemi në karantinë dhe unë i jam përshtatur jetës pa luftë duke vazhduar të stërvitem në palestrën tonë personale me vëllezërit e motrat e mi. Stërvitja nuk ka qenë një problem për ne, sepse ne kemi palestrën tonë personale. Ne pastrojmë të gjitha pajisjet dhe palestrën para dhe pas trajnimit. Meqenëse nuk ka luftime që vijnë së shpejti, ne kemi qenë duke mprehur aftësitë tona dhe duke ndërtuar më shumë njohuri Ne kemi qenë duke fituar forcë dhe duke mbajtur qëndrueshmërinë tonë. Në fundjavë, babai im ngas një biçikletë ndërsa ne drejtojmë xhiro për të marrë dritën e diellit, dhe nganjëherë ne bëjmë stërvitje sprint jashtë.

“Familja jonë është një familje boksi që filloi me babanë tim pasi ai ishte boksier. Ai filloi të më stërviste, vetëm për mbrojtje, por filloi të bëhej serioz në 2015 kur fitova turneun tim të parë në Kansas. Të gjithë vëllezërit e motrat e mi janë gjithashtu boksierë dhe ata janë gjithashtu kampionë me shumë kohë. Unë dhe vëllezërit e motrat e mi kemi marrë një ton të familjes kohë duke qëndruar në shtëpi së bashku. Kjo karantinë na ka bërë edhe më afër. Lidhja jonë na bën më të fortë individualisht dhe si një. Jam larg trajnimit në Colorado Springs, por shokët e mi të skuadrës janë vetëm një telefonatë larg. Unë jam në gjendje të qëndroj në kontakt dhe kjo është shumë e ngrohtë. Disa nga trajnerët më kontrollojnë për të parë se si kam shkuar. Kam pritur me padurim të gjitha turnet që kam planifikuar të luftoj dhe jam i zhgënjyer që janë shtyrë, por kam më shumë kohë për tu përgatitur edhe më mirë për luftën time të radhës.”

Navarro po stërvitej në Colorado Springs për t'u përgatitur për konkursin ndërkombëtar në Bullgari, por udhëtimi u anulua dy ditë para se Navarro dhe shokët e tij të skuadrës të planifikohej të largoheshin.

“Si anëtar i Ekipit të Boksit për Junior të SHBA-ve, Unë pres çdo luftë / turneu, sepse mund të jetë e fundit ime. Kështu që ishte shumë zemërthyer kur u njoftova se luftimet tona në Bullgari dhe luftrat e ardhshme ndërkombëtare u anuluan për shkak të kësaj pandemie. Unë vazhdoj të punoj aq fort sa bëj rregullisht: duke u zgjuar në 5 ne mengjes, duke vrapuar 5-6 milje në kodrat aty pranë, natyrisht e veshur me maskën time. Unë vij në shtëpi për të marrë klasat e mia në internet nga 9 paradite-2 pasdite, gjë që më jep një gjumë 2 orë para se të drejtohem në palestrën time private. Unë jam i vetmi person që stërvitet në palestrën time çdo ditë në 4:30 ores. Sapo të shkoj në palestër, Unë filloj të shtrihem për 3 raunde (3-raunde minutash), kuti hije për 5-7 raunde, atëherë godita pesë lloje thasësh me grusht (3 raunde secili). Më pas, Unë punoj dorashka (5-8 raunde) ku unë përqendrohem në lëvizje dhe situata të ndryshme që mund të ndodhin në një luftë. Unë shpesh godas çantën me fund të dyfishtë dhe çantën e shpejtësisë për të 3 raunde. Unë përfundoj stërvitjen time në boks me 15 min. të litarit të kërcimit.

“Unë trajnoj çdo ditë për 2 orë me babanë / trajnerin tim Refugio Navarro. Kjo pandemi është paksa e rrezikshme për shkak të mungesës së hyrjes në ndeshje. Kam tendencë të ‘lëviz’ me babanë tim një herë në javë, por përvoja është e ndryshme. Pasi të mbarojë, I drejtohem gjyshërve të mi’ shtëpia (vetëm një bllok larg shtëpisë sime) të bëj forcën dhe kushtëzimin tim. Unë mbaj një maskë dhe doreza kur punoj atje. Gjyshi im është një aparat gjimnastikor dhe ka rregullimin e tij të palestrës në garazhin e tij. Unë punoj me gjyshin tim për një orë të mirë, dezinfektimi i vazhdueshëm i të gjitha pajisjeve, ta mbyll ditën time. Unë punoj me ato që kam, i cili është një bekim. Boksi nuk është një sport sezoni, ju duhet të qëndroni gati gjatë gjithë vitit për çdo gjë, dhe kjo është ajo që unë vazhdoj të bëj ndërsa përpiqem për madhështi.”

“Përshtatja me këtë stil të ri jetese nuk ka qenë më e lehtë. Jam mirënjohës që kam familjen time, pasi ne kemi qenë duke shkuar në vrapime të përditshme dhe stërvitje në parqe. Familja ime e kupton rëndësinë e atletizmit tim dhe qëndrimin në formë, e cila është arsyeja pse ne vazhdojmë të motivojmë njëri-tjetrin gjatë kësaj kohe të vështirë. Nuk jam i sigurt kur jetët tona do të kthehen në normalitet, prandaj jam akoma i përgatitur në çdo kohë.

“Gjërat që unë pres më shumë në kampin në Colorado Springs është takimi me femra të tjera të reja në ekip, si dhe të mësuarit e stileve të ndryshme që ato sjellin. Unë gjithashtu pres të krijoj lidhje midis shokëve të mi të rinj të skuadrës dhe trajnerëve nga i gjithë kombi.”

NEW YORK – April 14, 2020 – This week’s installment of the digital podcast seriesSHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY features heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who recently recovered from COVID-19, and promoter Dmitriy Salita in an interview about life in quarantine and the effect the virus has had on the sport of boxing. Më shumë, Hall of Fame analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood joins this week’sRevenge: The Rematchessegment to discuss Azumah Nelson vs. Jesse James Leija II, Gerald McClellan vs. Julian Jackson II, and Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Frankie Randall II.

Excerpts from the episode:

On COVID-19 and its effect on the sport of boxing…

Fjalë – “It’s a really unpredictable environment right now. Boxing is an international sport. Now more than ever, fighters come to the U.S. from all over to train and fight. It’s really important that the whole world heals so that things can go back to normal.”

Wallin – “This virus is very serious. People are dying – people from the gym have died. I didn’t have many symptoms when I had it, but it spread to my mother’s boyfriend who is a diabetic and he was very ill. When you are home, don’t just stay on the couch. You have to come up with ideas to keep yourself busy and do something.”

On staying in shape during quarantine…

Wallin – “I am trying to make the best of the situation, and I can do a lot with what I have now. It’s working alright. I do some boxing punching on the wall and lots of shadow boxing.”

On Salita Promotions’ Train Like a Boxer YouTube Series…

Fjalë – “We were thinking of ways to keep connections between the fighters and the fans. Everyone is stuck at home, no one can go to work and it’s important to stay healthy and active. We thought we could let the fans know about what the fighters are doing at home and keep communication between everyone going.”

On what’s next for Wallin…

Fjalë – “In the fight with [Tyson] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Vladimir] Klitschko and [Deontay] Wilder –in the first fight. Otto is a world-class fighter, and hopefully we get back to business and he can show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world.”

On Chavez vs. Randall II…

Farhood – “I think it was a sign Chavez was getting to the end, he was only 31 but he had 90 fights and I think Randall got him at the right time. Watching Randall in both fights boxing so well reminded me a bit of Buster Douglas against [Mikrofon] Tyson. This guy didn’t give you anything to think he could do something like this – just boxing beautifully. I thought Randall probably deserved the rematch decision by a point, but it was a very close fight.”

The weekly SHOWTIME BOXING podcast features Raskin and Mulvaney diving deep into the world of boxing and SHOWTIME boxing events. New episodes are released on all major podcast platforms every Monday, including Radio.com.

CONTENDERS CLOTHING LAUNCHES FIGHTING FOR FIGHTERS FUND – ALL PROCEEDS TO GO DIRECTLY TO PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS!

FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND

Las Vegas, NV. (Prill 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

“While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

“We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.”

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Veç kësaj, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund.

Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters.

“We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Nëse Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fighters’ family for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.”

If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at:

If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to:
