ПРОВИДЕНЦЕ, Р.И. (Мај 5, 2020) – Undefeated super welterweight prospectЛамонт “The Blessed One” Powell, based on a near death experience 2-½ years ago in Providence, could easily have “Срећан” as his nickname.

The 26-year-old Powell was a three-time Silver Mittens champion, who compiled a 45-4 аматер запис, prior to turning two years ago. Он је 5-0 (1 КО) as a professional but, due to the pandemic, he hasn’t fought since last August, when he won a 4-round unanimous decision over 14-7-1Рикардо Гарсија.

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** и**Mary 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 boxerЈасон “Биг Сик” Пут у свом углу.

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, који “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 (ЦЕС). 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, још, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. Jednog dana, 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.”

У рингу, Powell displays a stiff jab and, наравно, 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 године, 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.

Укратко, Lamont Powell is the total package, у и ван ринга. And lucky to be alive!

Рођен да боксује Реја “Боом боом” Манчини

Април 27, 2020 ФНУ47 Оставите коментар

(слике љубазношћу Гетти Имагес)
ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Април 27, 2020) — Као син наградног борца, Припадник Међународне боксерске куће славних (“Класа 2015”) **Зрак “Боом боом” Манчини** је рођен за бокс, и Иоунгстовн, Ловац из Охаја попео се на врх спортске планине, хватање Светске боксерске асоцијације (ВБА) лака титула у 1982.

Манцинијев отац, покојни **Ленни “Боом боом” Манчини**, боксовао професионално од 1937 на 1947, састављање 46-12-3 (16 КОс) про рецорд. Ленни је био Не. 1 рангиран у лакој категорији на свету у 1941 и сматран будућим светским прваком. Међутим, његов сан је нажалост срушен када је рањен током Другог светског рата. Након отпуштања вратио се боксу, али физички проблеми због ране спречили су га да испуни свој некада огроман потенцијал.

Његов син, Зрак, узео мантију и потрчао с њом до славе, слава и озлоглашеност као светски шампион. Почео је боксати млад и имао је прву борбу кад је био 15 на јуниорским олимпијским играма у Кливленду. Реј је мислио да ће морати да сачека док се не окрене 16, јер је то била минимална старост за такмичење у Златним рукавицама.

“Кад сам чуо да могу да уђем (јуниорске олимпијаде),” Манцини се сетио, “Притискао сам оца да ме пусти (у Цлевеланд). Врло блиски породични пријатељ тренирао је неке момке у суседном граду од нас и водио је неке борце на јуниорске олимпијске игре. Рекао је да ће ме тамо одвести. Победио сам у првој борби нокаутом у првој рунди и завршио сам освајањем регионалне титуле. Отишао сам на Мид-Вест Регионал у Детроиту и борио се са локалним дететом, **Самми Фуентес**, да оде код Натионалс. Победио ме одлуком, али стекао сам прву праву лекцију о боксу и животу: искуство је све. Била је то моја шеста аматерска борба и речено ми је да је Фуентес имао више од 200. Није ме одвратило, заправо, учинило ме гладнијим да успем.”

Успео је, упркос његовом агресивном стилу који је највише одговарао професионалним редовима него аматерима. Је освојио 43 од 50 аматерске утакмице, хватање врхунских почасти у 1977 Златне рукавице Иоунгстовн и Златне рукавице североисточног Охаја. Такође је победио на ААУ првенству североисточног Охаја и стигао до четвртфинала 1978 Национални ААУ турнир.

“Изгубио сам блиску одлуку у полуфиналу 1978 Националне златне рукавице двоструким америчким. Олимпијски **Давеи Армстронг**,” Рекао је Манцини. “Изгубио сам одлуку да **Антхони Флетцхер** у четвртфиналу 1978 Државно првенство ААУ и још једном у финалу првенства Сајма државе Охио. У мојој последњој аматерској борби, Изгубио сам лошу одлуку бранећи националног шампиона **Мелвин Паул** у 1979 Национални Голден Гловес турнир. (Nakon toga) Знао сам да нећу водити још једну аматерску борбу и постаћу професионалац.

“Имао сам више професионални стил када сам се борио међу аматерима. Три рунде ми нису користиле. Никад се нисам борио у четири рунде (као професионалац). Почео сам са шест кругова јер, за мој стил, аматерска борба у три круга или професионална борба у четири рунде биле су ми прилично исте. Шестокружници су ми били кориснији и то је одмах доказано.

“Знао сам да нећу победити ни на једном великом аматерском првенству због свог стила. Успут, мада, Победио сам неке прилично добре аматере: **Даррил Цхамберс**,**Мемо Арреола**, **Тим Цхристиансон** и **Марк Цхиеверини**. Моја аматерска каријера само ме учинила још гладнијим да професионално освојим светску титулу.”

Његов стил тражења и уништавања учинио га је тренутним фаворитом професионалца. “Морао сам бити агресиван, као борац или на игралишту када сам се бавио другим спортовима, због мојих природних нагона,” Објаснио је Манцини. “Нисам могао седети лежећи и чекати да се ствари догоде; Морао сам да покушам да остварим ствари. Пратим то размишљање и у свом пословном животу, али слично као борбена игра, морате знати када напасти, а када завалити и супротставити се.”

Манчини, којег су неки називали малим Роцкијем Марцианом због начина на који се борио, претворио се у октобар 18, 1979 у Струтхерс-у, Охајо, заустављање **Пхил Бовен** у првом колу. Раи се борио 15 пута у првој години професионализма и продужио свој победнички низ на 19, пре него што је изазвао Светски боксерски савет (ВБЦ) лака светска шампионка **Алекис Аргуелло** (67-5), који је победио техничким нокаутом у 14 рунди, у борби која је била мртва и после 10 метака. После меча, тада је цитирана будућа Кућа славне Аргуелло: “Мислим да је моје срце посебно, али његова (Манчини) је већи него што ја имам. Једног дана биће шампион.”

Само седам месеци и три борбе касније, Манцини је освојио Светску боксерску асоцијацију (ВБА) лагана категорија светског наслова сензационалног нокаута браниоца титуле у првој рунди **Артуро Фриас** (24-1). Реј је ту борбу посветио свом оцу, који није могао да постане светски првак, због рана које је задобио у Другом светском рату.

Манцини је завршио професионалну каријеру са 29-5 (23 КОс), што је подразумевало победе против светских првака **Бобби Цхацон** (523-5-1), **Ернесто Шпанија** (35-4), Фриас и **Јосе Луис Рамирез** (71-3), и свих пет његових пораза имао је од светских шампиона – Аргуелло, **Хектор Камачо**, **Грег Хаугхен** и **Ливингстоне Брамбле** (двапут).

“Раи ‘Боом Боом’ Манцини је током каријере демонстрирао шампионско срце,” рекао **Цхрис Цуглиари**, Директор УСА Алумни бокса. “Иако се о његовом успеху у прстену пре свега говори на професионалном нивоу, глад за учењем и аматерским растом нешто је што надахњује данашње шампионе САД бокса. Још је један пример америчког алумниста из бокса који је доживео огроман успех произашао из искустава и поука из његових аматерских дана.”

Манцини је поносан на своје корене у Иоунгстовн-у, која је такође изнедрила светске професионалне шампионе у боксу као што су **Харри Арроио**, **Јефф Лампкин**, **Грег Рицхардсон** и **Кели Павлик**.

“Одрастање у Иоунгстовну ми је изузетно помогло као борцу,” Манцини је говорио о свом родном граду. “Сви смо знали какав је то тежак град био и јесте и знали смо приче свих бораца, аматерски и про, који је пре нас оставио трага. Одрастајући тамо, фудбал и бокс су била два спорта о којима су сви причали. Ако сте у било ком оставили траг, људи су и даље причали о вама дуго након што сте свирали, или су се дани борбе завршили. Тако, да успе у граду попут Иоунгстовн-а, је само по себи било огромно постигнуће.”

**Америчко удружење бивших боксера**

Створен да се бори за живот, обострано корисни односи између УСА Бокинг-а и његових бивших ученика, — боксери, званичници, тренери и љубитељи бокса — Алумни удружење повезује генерације шампиона, надахњујући и враћајући будућим шампионима у боксу УСА Бокинг, у и ван ринга.

Америчко удружење бивших боксера отворено је за све који воле љубав према боксу и желе да остану повезани са аматерским боксом. Члановима је омогућен приступ широком спектру специјалних догађаја које организује Алумни Ассоциатион, укључујући и годишњи пријем Куће славних у Удружењу бивших боксерских савезника САД.

Да се придружи Алумни удружењу, једноставно се региструјте на алумни@усабокинг.орг За $40.00 годишње чланарина. Нови чланови добиће мајицу, привезак за кључеве и е-новчаник.

Изузетно популарни Манцини један је од ретких боксера који је имао филм (“Срце шампиона: Прича о Раи Манцинију)”), песма (“Боом Боом Манцини” аутор Варрен Зевон) и књига (“Добри син: Рејин живот “Боом боом” Манцини, Марк Криегел) о њему.

Данас, 59-годишњи Манцини и даље борави у Иоунгстовну, и даље се бави боксом као коментатор боја за ПБЦ на Фоку. Такође је члан боксерске комисије Охаја у последње три године. “Умешан сам (у боксу) онолико близу колико желим да будем и још увек могу да будем фан,” је признао. “Оно што ми највише недостаје у борбеној игри је ментално и емоционално изазивање себе, и да би могао “Устани” и свакодневно се физички изазивам. Да стане пред другог човека пре борбе, тачно у центру прстена, и реци себи, ‘Или ћете се вечерас однети одавде или ја, али један од нас се вечерас одводи одавде,’ био мој менталитет. Недостаје ми тај изазов!”

Осврћући се на своју боксерску каријеру, Манцини тврди да ништа не би променио. “Не могу да кажем да бих урадио нешто другачије, у ретроспективи, јер сам освојио светску титулу, успешно одбранио четири пута, добро зарадио и здраво се пензионисао,” Закључио је Манцини. “Људи се још увек сећају и разговарају о мојим борбама и ушао сам у Међународну боксерску кућу славних, крајње светилиште за борце. Тако, зашто бих желео да учиним било шта другачије?”

Arjan Iseni training during the pandemic

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Април 23, 2020) — Amateur boxing, as in the professional ranks, has been shut-down worldwide due to the Coronavirus pandemic. USA Boxing members are adjusting to these challenging and trying times all across the country.

Gyms and schools are closed, tournaments suspended, анд 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo have been postponed a year. Members of the Elite Qualification, Youth and Junior High Performance teams are home rather than in Colorado Springs training at the state-of-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center.

How are some of the leading U.S. amateur boxers living during this period without fights?

**ELITE OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION TEAM**

Пратите УСА Бокинг на друштвеним мрежама да бисте били у току са тренинзима и вестима о Олимпијском квалификационом тиму. (Пратите УСА Бокинг на друштвеним мрежама да бисте били у току са тренинзима и вестима о Олимпијском квалификационом тиму., Мичиген), 26-year-old middleweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold medal performances: 2019 Национални Голден Рукавице; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-time Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks was within one qualifier victory of officially becoming a member of the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. He is taking advantage of the break, мада, spending quality time with his wife and young daughter.

“

I personally feel that this has been a blessing in disguise, because I have more time to improve on the things the USA coaches have been telling me to work on. I live in an apartment in Lansing (МИ), but I’ve been staying with my mom in Grand Rapids so I can comfortably train. It’s weird in a way, but I miss getting punched at. I’ve been trying to adapt to the new normal, but I can’t wait to be back at the training center (in Colorado Springs).

“I love that I can see my daughter every day to give her all my attention, but she misses the gym as much as me. My wife and mother have been very supportive. I believe waiting another year will only make me better by the time the Olympics are here.”

***Осхае Јонес***, (Толедо, Охајо), 22-year-old welterweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2020 Olympic Team Trials, 3-time Elite National Championships (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 Национални ПАЛ. International: 2020 Strandja Tournament & 2019 Панамеричке игре

Jones had been on a roll leading up to the since postponed Americas Qualifier to lock a roster spot on the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. She has been training at her family’s gym in Toledo, as well as getting more involved in community services and functions.

“I have not adapted to life without boxing, because boxing will never leave my life. Моја породица / coaches have a gym connected to our house we live in. Boxing is not a sport, it’s a lifestyle .

“My heart dropped when I first heard that the Olympics were postponed. Everything that I have been working toward for basically my whole life is on pause until next July. I do not know how I feel or how to express how I feel. The only thing I can do is try to stay motivated.”

**YOUTH HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM**

***Arjan Iseni*** (Staten Island, Њујорк), 17-year-old light heavyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships, Eastern Regional Open & Youth Open

Iseni lives in the Coronavirus epicenter, Staten Island, НИ. He and his father built a small ring in their backyard (see picture below) because he couldn’t train in any gyms.

“It’s very hard to know that I won’t be able to represent Team USA this year in any international tournaments. This is my last year as a youth boxer, but I have been training very hard during quarantine, and I will be ready for whatever is next for me.

“It is hard knowing that I will not be fighting soon, but this gives me more time to perfect the little flaws in my game, and I’ll comeback stronger when this all ends. Надајмо се, everything goes back to normal soon, so I can get back to fighting actively and hopefully make Team USA as an Elite boxer.”

***Shera Mae Patricio*** (Вино, Хаваји), 17-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships & Western Regional Open; 2018 Youth National Championships & Western Regionals Open; 2017 National Junior Olympics & Национални Голден Рукавице

Patricio lives the furthest away from training camp and her teammates, but her family owns a boxing gym, and training/sparring isn’t as a problem for her because she has eight siblings.

“We are in quarantine and I have adapted to life without fights by continuing to train at our personal gym with my siblings. Training hasn’t been a problem for us because we have our own personal gym. We sanitize all the equipment and the gym before and after training. Since there are no fights coming soon, we have been sharpening up our skills and building more knowledge We’ve been gaining strength and keeping up our endurance. On weekends, my dad rides a bike while we run laps to get some sunlight, and sometimes we do sprint drills outside.

“Our family is a boxing family that started with my dad as he was a boxer. He started training me, only for defense, but it started to get serious in 2015 when I won my first tournament in Kansas. All of my other siblings are also boxers and they’re also multiple-time champions. My siblings and I have been getting a ton of family time staying home together. This quarantine has made us even closer. Our bond makes us stronger individually and as one. I’m far away from training in Colorado Springs, but my teammates are only a phone call away. I’m able to stay in touch and that’s very warming. Some of the coaches check on me to see how I’ve been doing. I looked forward to all the tournaments I planned to fight in and I’m disappointed they’ve been postponed, but I have more time to be even better prepared for my next fight.”

**JUNIOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM**

***Steven Navarro*** (Лос Анђелес, Калифорнија) 16-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior National Championships & Национални ПАЛ; 2018 Junior National Championships; 2017 Prep Open & Western Regional Open

Navarro was training in Colorado Springs to prepare for international competition in Bulgaria, but the trip was cancelled two days before Navarro and his teammates were scheduled to depart.

“As a member of the USA Boxing Junior Team, I look forward to every fight / турнир, because it could be my last. So it was very heartbreaking when I was notified that our fights in Bulgaria and future international fights were cancelled due to this pandemic. I continue working as hard as I do on a regular basis: waking up at 5 ујутру, running 5-6 miles in nearby hills, of course wearing my mask. I come home to take my online classes from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., which gives me a 2-hour nap before heading to my private gym. I am the only person who trains at my gym every day at 4:30 п.м. Once I get to the gym, I begin stretching for 3 метака (3-minute rounds), shadow box for 5-7 метака, then I hit five varieties of punching bags (3 метака сваки). Afterwards, I work mitts (5-8 метака) where I focus on different movements and situations that could possibly happen in a fight. I often hit the double-end bag and speed bag for 3 метака. I finish my boxing training with 15 min. of jump rope.

“I train on a daily basis for 2 hours with my father/coach Refugio Navarro. This pandemic is a bit of a gamble due to not having access to sparring. I do tend to ‘move’ with my father once every week, but the experience is different. Once finished, I head to my grandparents’ house (only one block away from my home) to do my strength and conditioning. I do wear a mask and gloves when working out there. My grandfather is a bodybuilder and has his gym setup in his garage. I work-out with my grandfather for a good hour, constantly disinfecting all equipment, to wrap-up my day. I work with what I have, which is a blessing. Boxing isn’t a season sport, you must stay ready all year for anything, and that’s what I continue to do as I strive for greatness.”

***Fernanda Chavez*** (Далас, Тексас), 14-year-old bantamweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Eastern Regional

Chavez is a first-year member of the Junior High Performance Team and her inaugural training camp in Colorado Springs was pushed back.

“Adapting to this new lifestyle hasn’t been the easiest. I’m thankful I have my family, as we’ve been going on daily runs and workouts at parks. My family understands the importance of my athleticism and staying fit, which is why we continue to motivate each other during this tough time. I’m not sure when our lives will return to normal, which is why I’m still prepared at all times.

“The things I’m looking forward to most at camp in Colorado Springs is meeting other junior females on the team, as well as learning the different styles they bring. I also look forward to creating bonds between my new teammates and coaches from across the nation.”

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. Више, 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…

Реч – “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…

Реч – “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…

Реч – “In the fight with [Тајсон] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Владимир] Klitschko and [Деонтаи] 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 [Микрофон] Тајсон. 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!

Април 15, 2020 ФНУ47 Оставите коментар

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

Лас Вегас, НВ. (Април 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. Додатно, 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. Уколико 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:
