親密接觸 10 時代世界跆拳道冠軍凱特琳·福蘭（Caitlin Foran）在她的職業拳擊首次亮相之前

發表評論
這個大流行的鎖定實際上全球遍布全球, 許多戰鬥已經被取消, 來自最大的, 例如Anthony Joshua與Kubrat Pulev, 直到許多小廳活動.


雖然很明顯，鎖定正在影響參與我們心愛的運動的每個人, 這讓我想到了那些為他們的專業拳擊首次亮相做準備的人, 例如今天的受害者, 對不起，客人, 凱特琳·福蘭（Caitlin Foran）, 誰將在4月25日在奧克尼首次亮相.


凱特琳是十次跆拳道世界冠軍, 對於仍然只是僅僅是一個僅僅 19 歲, 讓我們面對現實，以在如此年輕的時候在任何運動中取得如此高的地位都是一項成就，毫無疑問，她的廣泛的戰鬥體驗經驗將使她受益，而這場大流行就結束了，她將她的職業選中亮相.


實際上，我很高興在三月份在巴羅（Barrow-In-Furness）的一次活動中與凱特琳（Caitlin）見面, 當她挑戰時，她在支持保羅·佩爾斯（Paul Peers）, 並擊敗, 尼加拉瓜米爾頓·阿勞斯（Nicaraguan Milton Arauz）專業拳擊委員會 (PBC) 國際標題, 並且總是打算涵蓋她的專業首次亮相, 但是，由於當前情況，這是由於當前情況而恢復到今年下半年，而是安排面試.


我的華夫餅夠了, 讓我們更好地了解這位驚人的青少年明星.




(GDC) 你好凱特琳, 感謝您抽出寶貴的時間為我們回答一些問題. 我的第一個問題是我了解您是多世界冠軍踢拳擊手, 您能告訴我們的讀者一些有關您的踢拳的事業嗎?




(CF) 所以我開始跆拳道 2008 八歲, 當時我正在與許多其他運動和活動一起玩耍跆拳道，但隨著時間的流逝，我的注意力只是跆拳道，這變成了我的生活.


我當然不是那些有才華橫溢的運動的人之一. 我不靈活, 我沒有信心, 但是我所做的一件事使我直到今天是決心.


生活在一個島上，我們無法參加大陸上其他俱樂部盡可能多的比賽，這意味著我們知道我們必須真正付出額外的努力來彌補缺乏經驗.


也來自一個大家庭，我母親是單親父母 5 孩子們意味著我很少能逃脫競爭，直到我把黑帶加入 2011.


然後，我通常每月開始參加一次與第一個大型比賽是格拉斯哥的WKA蘇格蘭錦標賽, 那是我的第一個巨大信心助推器，我繼續競爭更經常贏得更多蘇格蘭冠軍以及英國和歐洲的冠軍.


然後，我被邀請參加我的第一個世界冠軍 2013 在我帶著銅牌的意大利.


當我參加比賽時，我總是更喜歡積分, 這是一種更空手道的風格, ‘開始停止’ 戰鬥風格, 但是在我在布拉格的第二世界錦標賽中 2014, 有一個女人沒有為她的戒指連續的戰鬥而戰，所以我被問到我是否會打架.


我從來沒有拒絕打架，所以我參加了戰鬥，最終贏得了戰鬥，還有兩個人，所以我獲得了我的前三個世界冠軍和對戒指戰鬥的新愛.


從 2014 到 2017 我繼續在各個國家贏得了七個世界冠軍.


由 2016/17 我的跆拳道生涯真的在起飛，我一直在尋找不久的將來的職業, 但是在結尾 2017 我的教練Ryan Reffell可悲地通過了，這結束了我的跆拳道生涯.


(GDC) 影響您從踢拳擊轉換為專業拳擊的原因?


(CF) 正如我之前提到的, 我從來都不是一個自然靈活的人.


當我仍在與瑞安（Ryan）一起訓練時，作為剋星跆拳道的一部分, 在 2015 我們認為我的手變得更好，開始考慮切換到拳擊.


這使瑞安（Ryan）在星期一晚上開始拳擊課以及整個星期.


那9月我得到了我的第一次戰鬥 4 UKBC輕量級國際標題的日期通知. 我繼續贏得了戰鬥，並在那個12月的重賽中辯護.


2017 是當我真正開始專注於拳擊和跆拳道上的時候，還有另外兩場戰鬥, 我無牌職業的最後一場戰鬥是四月份的五個國家冠軍戰鬥 2017 這使我的記錄達到了 4-0-0.


我以為我的拳擊事業已經結束, 直到Paul Peers搬到Orkney 2018 並通過Facebook取得了聯繫，然後他再次開始了我的訓練，因為他對我的拳擊表現出了極大的興趣，並且對我對這項運動的熱愛有很大的幫助，並表明他相信我，這使我對自己更有信心，並在今年1月在我的專業合同之前再次獲得了培訓。.


(GDC) 您將於4月25日在奧克尼首次亮相專業拳擊, 顯然，這是由於19號大流行而被重新安排的, 因此，首先您的準備工作如何?


(CF) 是的, 當所有這些開始時，這是毀滅性的，但我確保在日常跑步和家庭練習中保持盡可能活躍.


(GDC) 政府下令鎖定是否會影響您的準備工作?


(CF) 在鎖定之前，我們至少每週在俱樂部進行一次或兩次陪練.


到目前為止，我們只對此進行了一次管理，天氣惡劣，船隻不確定跑步，但在節目之前的計劃中有更多的計劃.


(GDC) 當鎖定結束並宣布新日期時, 據說您的對手是Carly Mackenzie, 你對她了解很多嗎?


(CF) 我最初是為了與卡莉·麥肯齊（Carly Mackenzie）打架，但是我的對手最近改為專業拳擊委員會 (PBC) 國際銀冠軍傑米·貝茨·沃利斯. 老實說，我對傑米不知道很大.


我參加了戰鬥，知道這將是一個挑戰，尤其是我的第一次戰鬥 3 歲月.
她被證明是冠軍，所以為了讓我成為冠軍，我必須擊敗冠軍.


(GDC) 遠離您的職業, 誰是你最喜歡的拳擊手, 男女不限, 為什麼?


(CF) 迄今為止，我最喜歡的拳擊手是凱蒂·泰勒（Katie Taylor）. 她在將女子拳擊到今天的位置中發揮了重要作用，這是任何運動員的真正靈感，因為她表明，如果您真的想要一些東西，可以克服任何障礙.


(GDC) 同樣, 這是您一直以來最喜歡的戰鬥, 為什麼?


(CF) 很難選擇一場最喜歡的戰鬥，但必須是凱蒂·泰勒（Katie Taylor）與克里斯蒂娜·拉納達托（Christina Linardatou）的最新戰鬥，因為她繼續獲勝，並增加了WBO超級輕量級​​世界冠軍. 通常泰勒會陷入戰鬥, 射擊後開槍. 但是，這次她一直在外面拳擊聰明而不浪費能量.


(GDC) 感謝您抽出寶貴的時間回答我的問題, 最後，您想提及您即將舉行的首次亮相?


(CF) 我要感謝我的讚助商, GSRI的Gary Sutherland, 史蒂文·洛吉（Steven Logie） 101 為了讓我保持身材，保羅在過去一年半以來所做的一切，以使我的信心恢復並重新點燃我對拳擊. 我還想向我在Nemesis Kickboxing Academy和Nemesis Boxing Gunt的所有老隊友大喊大叫，而沒有他們.

New York State Boxing HOF & 環 8 establish fund to assist boxers and boxing personnel in New York

紐約 (四月 1, 2020) – The New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) and Ring 8 jointly announced today a partnership to establish a COVID-19 fund to assist New York and New Jersey boxers and boxing personnel who are in financial need during the coronavirus pandemic.

Any boxing personnel (拳擊手, 教練, cut-men, 等等) who are independent contractors and live in New York or New Jersey may apply for monetary assistance by filling out a request form posted atwww.NYBoxingHOF.org 和www.Ring8tv,同, or request a form atfightpublicist@gmail.com to be directly emailed.

All applicants must be licensed (NYSAC, NJSAC or USA Boxing) and forms must be submitted to NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy by email (depcomish@aol.com) or call him (1.516.313.2304) with the required information.

“Gyms are closed, and boxing has been suspended indefinitely,” NYSBHOF 總裁 Bob Duffy 說. “Most boxing trainers, cut-men and other boxing personnel are independent contractors, so they do not have any income right now during this pandemic. They have families to support, rent to pay, food to put on the table, and other critical expenses. We want to help them by establishing this fund. We’re not in the position to give each applicant a large stipend,  but we are able to provide a small payment to temporarily help them a little bit. We’re committed to doing this for the month of April, 至少, and then we’ll will revisit extending payments until boxing returns, as long as there is money available in this fund. It’s the right thing to do!”

“Ring 8 is furthering our goals to assist boxers and boxing people in New York during this crisis,” Ring 8 president Charlie Norkus, JR. added. “It has been our mission since the very beginning. We are pleased to join the New York Boxing Hall of Fame in this endeavor.”

CLICK 這裡 TO WATCH THE SERIES DEBUT FEATURING HISTORY-MAKING FEMALE WORLD CHAMPION CLARESSA SHIELDS

Salita促銷, boxing’s leading promotions company, announced today the launch of their new YouTube series “Train Like a Boxer,” featuring Company Founder Dmitriy Salita and Olympic Gold Medalist and multi-weight world champion Claressa Shields, as well as other premier fighters under the Salita banner including Otto Wallin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Kolbeinn Kristinsson.

Starting with a new webisode 本週三, 四月 1, 2020, on the Salita Promotions and Claressa Shields YouTube channels, “Train Like a Boxer” will seek to motivate people to remain active during quarantine by providing fitness advice and boxing-related routines perfectly suited for individuals with minimal equipment and limited space to exercise.

Before becoming boxing’s newest promotional powerhouse with an impressive stable of world champions, top contenders and blazing new prospects, Dmitriy Salita spent years training in some of the most recognized gyms in the sport’s history as a New York State Golden Gloves champion and professional top contender.

“During this worldwide Corona crisis, this series will help boxing fans with their physical and mental state by engaging with our fighters in these fun and healthy activities,薩利塔說. “A boxer’s workout is perfect for these tough times because it is done in the isolation of training camp. Our fighters want to give back and connect with fans worldwide during this ‘isolation training camp’ period and soon together we are all going to enjoy the great victory of overcoming Covid 19.”

Three-division and current WBC and WBO Super Welterweight world champion Shields, who saw her bid to become the first boxer in the four-belt era to be crowned an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions against also unbeaten IBF Super Welterweight Champion Marie-Eve Dicaire officially postponed last week, says she hopes these videos help everyone stay physically and mentally fit during these trying times.

“With all that the world is going through right now, I want to help people in any way I can to feel better while staying at home until this pandemic is over,“希爾茲說. “These videos — even 20 到 40 minutes a day — can help. Let’s stay strong together!”

看著 2007 整年的 這裡



紐約 - 三月 26, 2020 - SHOWTIME Sports will delve into its rich archive of historic boxing events to re-air the epic Israel Vázquez vs. Rafael Márquez trilogy this Saturday, 三月 28 在 10 P.M. ET / PT在Showtime. The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.



The fierce Mexican rivals squared off in three consecutive award-winning fights which aired live on SHOWTIME in 2007 和 2008 before meeting for a fourth and final time in 2010. The first three bouts were all contested with the WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship on the line.



Described by the network’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood as, “藝術暴行發生爆炸,” Vázquez-Márquez I was a unanimous selection for 2007 Fight of the Year and left the fans and fighters clamouring for a rematch. The two warriors delivered yet again in their second meeting just five months later in another bloody slugfest that produced a Round of the Year winner and a result that demanded a rubber match. Vázquez-Márquez III, 有爭議的只是 363 從他們的第一次見面天, was the only match in the rivalry to go the distance and was named the 2008 年度撲滅.



During Saturday night’s re-airing of the trilogy, combat sports analysts Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell will host a live episode of the duo’s popular digital talk show, MORNING KOMBAT WITH LUKE THOMAS AND BRIAN CAMPBELL 在 Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. Thomas and Campbell will watch and react to the fights in real time and conduct a Q&A session with fans.



The Vazquez-Marquez series was called by the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® announce team, all four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: host and play-by-play from Steve Albert, popular ringside analyst Al Bernstein, Emmy Award winning reporter Jim Gray and world renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.



“We all knew the first fight would be great, and it more than lived up to expectations,” said Bernstein, who called all four fights. “The second fight was exciting, and when fight three came, I didn’t think they could top Nos. 1 和 2, but they did just that. It’s one of the top five fights I’ve ever announced or seen. The ebb and flow was tremendous, and you almost felt it didn’t matter who ended up getting the decision because they both had been so great. I can’t admire two boxers more than these two men.”



Fans new to SHOWTIME® who sign up through the recently announced 30-day free trial before May 3 can watch these fights, the network’s original series, documentaries, specials and movies online via the SHOWTIME streaming service on SHOWTIME.com or the SHOWTIME app, available on all supported devices.

In the new episode, veteran boxing reporters Raskin and Mulvaney discuss a wide-range of topics with Espinoza, including the current state of boxing and what may lie ahead for the network’s boxing programming once the current hiatus comes to an end.

Below are excerpts from the interview with Espinoza:

On SHOWTIME Sports’ interim content plan…

Espinoza – “It is therapeutic to look forward to and make plans for things that are more reflective of normal life for us, absolutely. Our goal is to fill that gap with a lot of the stuff we have. We have a deep library of documentaries and we are definitely surfacing a lot more of the archive both一經請求 and we will look at it on linear more regularly.”

On what lies ahead when boxing resumes…

Espinoza – “It’s going to be a wild ride. There’s a lot to be made up. There are a lot of fighters that need fights to happen, and I think we could be in for a pretty interesting period of time where there’s a lot of activity in a relatively short window … I think we’re going to see an action-packed, jam-packed schedule whenever we return, whether it’s in three, six or nine months – and we may see people taking a different tact on taking fights.”

On what fight you wish you could go back in time to attend live …

Espinoza – “Chavez vs. Haugen on February 20,1993 for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City… It wasn’t a great fight or great opponent but it’s my pick because of the legendary status that fight has within Showtime’s hallways. 有 132,000 人到齊, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [和] you had Don King getting robbed on his way from the airport to the hotel as soon he got into town. There were so many things around the atmosphere. It was one of those legendary events I would’ve loved to be at for the atmosphere.”

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

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

發表評論

曼徹斯特, 康涅狄格州. (三月 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“奇妙的” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 科斯) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre'Sean威金斯, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) 美國 (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 到 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainer保羅Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (經理) 成龍凱倫 和 (促進者) 婁DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, 編譯 45-13 業餘紀錄, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, 現在, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

40日 anniversary of tragic airplane crash in Poland

22 members of Team USA Boxing perished

科羅拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (三月 14, 2020) – One of the darkest days in American sports history occurred 40 years ago today, when Polish Airlines flight #7 that had departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City crashed a half-mile from Okecie Airport in Warsaw, 波蘭.
 
所有 87 passengers died, 含 14 boxers and eight officials on the USA Boxing team, due to a disintegration of a turbine disc in one of the plane’s engines that ultimately failed.
 
Team USA was traveling to Poland to compete in two international amateur boxing dual events. The average age of the 14 boxers was only 20 ½, ranging from 27-year-old Walter Harris to 16-year-old Byron Payton.
 
The potential Olympic dreams of the 14 boxers were destroyed in the horrific accident. Although most of the boxers were still in their developmental stage, outside of prospective medal challenger Lemuel Steeples, each member aspired to represent the United States in the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. (The United States eventually led a boycott of the 1980 Olympics because of the Soviet-Afghan War.)
 
“I remember coming home from my boxing gym on March 14, 1980 and hearing the news of the plane crash on the evening news,” stated USA Boxing Executive Director Mike McAtee.
 
“As an aspiring Olympic-style boxer I was shocked and felt a sense of loss like every American boxer, coach and official. Today we are reminded that life is precious, and every day is a blessing. On behalf of USA Boxing’s Board of Directors, 48,000 拳擊手, coaches and officials and the national office staff we remember the 1980 USA Boxing Team Members and Staff. Please keep them, their families and the worldwide Olympic-style boxing family in your thoughts and prayers.”
 
“Down But Not Out… Lost But Not Forgotten”

USA Boxing Head Coach Billy Walsh remembers the crash to this day. “I remember it well, as I was a 16-year-old dreaming of the Olympics,” said Walsh. “It was massive news in Europe, a big tragedy with some of the world’s best boxers and staff wiped out. We lost a generation of great fighters, and most importantly loved ones.”
 
Patricia Chavis was only seven years old when she learned her father, Sgt. Elliott Chavis, had perished in the crash. She was playing outdoors with friends when she noticed a lot of people crying as they entered and left her home. Her mother called her inside, sat her down with people watching, and said that her father wasn’t coming back because he had been killed in a plane crash.
 
“She asked me if I understood and I did, because we had recently lost my great grandmother and paternal grandfather,” an emotional Patricia explained. “I went back outside and told my friends. They were a little older and they didn’t understand why I hadn’t stayed inside with family. It didn’t really hit me that my dad wasn’t coming home until my teenage years. I remember sitting in bed and writing letters to him.
 
“Every year still affects me every March. We usually have a family dinner with my mom and grandchildren. They listen to stories about a man they never met. He’s buried in South Carolina and we’ve laid flowers on his grave. Every year on March 14日 it brings back memories and we celebrate his life.”
 
Sgt. Chavis, who died at the age of 25, was stationed at Ft. Bragg (北卡羅來納州), where he learned to box. 他的一名成員 118日 Military Police Company and during his boxing career, the light heavyweight was All-Army and All-Southeastern.
 
“My parents married young,” Patricia continued. “My mom told me he was always athletic. He played football and was a pole vaulter on the track team in high school. But I didn’t know anything about his boxing until we went to a reunion at Ft. Bragg. Around the 30日 anniversary I got in touch with some of his Army buddies when I saw on Facebook that they were having a reunion. I went there with my mom and listened to stories they told me about his boxing career. I found it so interesting because I hadn’t known about that. There are quite a few memorials I’ve seen on Facebook and I try to get in touch with other family members (of her father’s teammates who died in the crash). We’ll never forget!”
