L’equip que representa el WBC #14 de pes mig Matvey Korobov ha enviat una carta al fiscal general i governador de Virgínia, demanant que obrin una investigació sobre el controvertit sorteig de Korobov dissabte passat (Maig 11) contra el lluitador de Virgínia Immanuwel Aleem i diversos "incidents circumdants" rellevants.
Leon Margules, Advocat de Team Korobov, va enviar la carta en nom del lluitador, juntament amb diverses proves de suport, al fiscal general de Virgínia, Mark Herring i al governador Ralph Northam.
En ell, Margules assenyala el que al·lega és un conflicte d’interès perquè els dos jutges de Virgínia, Mark D’Actilio i Brian Costello, que van governar sobretot el mal 95-95, són membres de la boxa de l'Estat, Arts marcials, i el consell assessor de lluita professional responsable de seleccionar els jutges de cada lluita i els combatents de llicències.
Costello, de fet, és el president del consell.
I així, Dos membres de l'organisme responsables de designar els jutges d'una lluita designats i un àrbitre relativament inexpert (Michelle Myers) de Virgínia a oficialitzar un atac televisat nacionalment amb un lluitador del seu estat natal, contra Korobov, Un rus que viu a Florida.
A continuació, es pregunta per què, De les tres baralles televisades, aquest va ser l'únic que es va dur a terme així, amb funcionaris no neutres.
La carta també fa referència al quadre de comandament original proporcionat als mitjans de comunicació, Això va mostrar a Korobov com a guanyador de la decisió majoritària, així com el mateix quadre de comandament 20 minuts més tard, amb la ronda de D’Attilio 10 La puntuació de Korobov es va ratllar i va canviar de 10 a un 9, Transformar el resultat en un sorteig majoritari.
Un altre punt de contenció és el rendiment de jutges dels dos jutges basats a Virgínia, que va marcar la lluita un empat quan una victòria de Korobov va ser gairebé universalment acordada pels mitjans de comunicació i els fans de la boxa, posterior a la baralla.
A la majoria, Korobov va semblar guanyar les set primeres rondes i va ferir a Aleem malament a la sisena ronda abans que Aleem va muntar una remuntada menor en les dues o tres rondes últimes. A la campana final, Korobov va gaudir d'un avantatge important en els cops de puny desembarcats (Segons les estadístiques de Compubox, Korobov va aterrar 154 cops de puny de 417 llançat (37%), Mentre Aleem va aterrar 119 trets de fora 630 [19%]).
Respecte oficial de boxa i jutge no oficial del concurs, Larry Hazard Sr., va marcar la lluita 97-92.
També s'adjunta una llarga llista de fans a les xarxes socials que veuen la corrupció sospitosa.
La carta de Margules també assenyala el que molts consideren una derrota perduda per l'àrbitre Myers a la quarta ronda, Quan Korobov va enviar Aleem amb un taulell dret només per tenir -ne la regla incorrectament.
L’equip Korobov assegura que espera que l’estat trobi una solució per a aquesta desgraciada situació per evitar un altre ull negre per a la boxa i un “efecte esgarrifós” sobre els combatents que vinguin a lluitar a Virgínia.

Plantes vs. Lee is presented by TGB Promotions and Sweethands Promotions.
Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles:
Manny Pacquiao
“It’s easy for my opponents to talk before the fight, and I’m used to everything they say. But when we get to the ring, it changes, and it will change on July 20.
“I chose Keith Thurman because he’s a great fighter, he’s undefeated and because we can give a good fight to the fans. I want to make the fans happy on that night and show that I can still go toe-to-toe with any opponent.
“He said he’s young, but we’ll see who looks young in the ring on July 20. I’m going to let my fists say everything for me.
“We will work hard in training camp like always for this fight. We’re not going to take Keith Thurman lightly or underestimate him. He’s a world champion. I’m thankful for what he’s been saying, because it’s giving me motivation to prove that at 40-years-old, Em sento 29.
“Keith Thurman is aggressive and throws a lot of punches. I’m hoping on July 20 he will follow through with what he says and fight toe-to-toe with me.
“The fans need to watch this fight because it’s a once in a lifetime fight. It’s going to be a Fight of the Year and full of action from start to finish. I’m ready to get it on July 20.
“Most of my opponents are bigger than me and I beat them all. When we get into the ring, no importa. This has happened before and it will happen again against Thurman.
“My experience will be very important for this fight. It’s going to be useful against an undefeated fighter. I’m going to give him the experience of losing for the first time.
“I’m still having fun and enjoying the sport. I’m excited to go straight to the gym after this and start focusing on training for the fight.”
KEITH Thurman
“It’s a blessing to be on this stage and have a fight of this magnitude. I’m an all-American fighter, an all-American champion and come July 20, I’m going to stay champion.
“Manny is a world class fighter. He’s a gentleman inside and outside of the ring. I look forward to trading punches with a living legend. But one thing’s for sure, he’s not walking away with my title.
“All Manny does is hop around in the ring. I’m not going to lose to a bunny rabbit. He’s not Tupac, but he does a little hip hop and he’s not going to stop until he gets dropped.
“Manny is a world class fighter, not a world class boxer. I’m going to trip him up in the ring and he won’t know what direction to turn to. I know who I am as a fighter, and it will be proven come July 20.
“I’m destroying the legend of Manny Pacquiao. His legacy ends on July 20 and mine begins. He’s an inspiration to many people throughout the world and everyone respects him, but I’m respectfully going to finish him.
“This is a big fight as far as the stage goes, but it’s a big fight against a little guy. He’s a veteran and I’ve dismantled veterans in the past. I believe I would have destroyed Manny Pacquiao five years ago. I’ve always been ready for this fight. He’s never fought someone like me with this kind of lateral movement, velocitat i potència. I’m coming for him.
“I was in the gym four weeks ago starting some preparations. I wanted to get the ball rolling and use the momentum from my last training camp for this opportunity. Who better to showcase my skills and talent against than Manny Pacquiao? He chose me because it will be a guaranteed action fight.
“I think this is one of the best Manny Pacquiao fights in a long time. Vaig a portar-. Pacquiao did not get reminded in his last fight what it feels like to be up against a real champion. I’m the youngest, fastest, hungriest fighter that he’s ever been in the ring with. Juliol 20, it’s the ‘Keith Thurman show’.”
CALEB PLANTA
“I never consider myself the A-side because my history says that I shouldn’t even be here. As beautiful as the belt is, it’s about more to me than that. It’s about legacy for me. I’ve been carrying myself as a world champion since the day I started this journey, so this is nothing new to me.
“I’m the whole package. Tinc velocitat, I have footwork, Tinc el poder, I have the heart and the will to win. Until you find someone else who’s all that, I’m going to keep having my hand raised.
“Where I’m from, there’s confrontation every day. Això no és res nou per a mi. There are times I was told that I wouldn’t make it. Nobody paved the way for me like I’m from New York or Los Angeles. I paved my own way.
“Mike Lee is in uncharted territory. I’m curious on how he plans on beating me. Does he plan on roughing me up and trying to knock me out like my last opponent? Can he do that better than Jose Uzcategui? Is he going to try to outbox me with his hand and foot speed? Because there’s no person from 160 a 175 who could do that.
“I’ve been committed to the same thing for the last 18 anys seguits. Rain, sleet or snow, I stayed committed. I’m bred for this. I was created for this. It’s the only thing I’ve done my whole life. Al juliol 20, I’ll be keeping the thing that I’ve worked my whole entire life for.
“At every decision that has to be made, you can go left or you can go right. From the genesis of my being, every time it was the moment to make a tough decision, I went the same way. Because I do not bend or fold for anything. No matter what’s tossed my way, this journey must go on for me. He said he has nothing to lose, but I have everything to lose.
“All the motivational videos that he watches and books that he reads, I’m the very essence and meaning of that. I’m the pinnacle of all those things he’s studied. You can’t learn mental fortitude in a book. Those things are earned, they’re not learned.”
MIKE LEE
“Això és un somni fet realitat per a mi. I’ve been through so much and there were days where I thought my dream was over. I’ve chased this since I was eight-years-old and I’m thankful for this chance to go after a dream that others thought I couldn’t reach.
“The beauty of this sport is that it’s only me and Caleb in there. Everyone else can only talk. I’ve been in the ring through adversity and stuck it out, because that’s the kind of person I am. I know that if I come on July 20 as the best Mike Lee possible, that I can win.
“I’ve been in the gym working every day. Doctors told me at one point that I wouldn’t fight again, but I’m still standing right here. I pushed through my pain to get here.
“I’m excited to be here in Los Angles, where we hold training camp. I’m bringing the belt back to Chicago, but Los Angeles is a second home to me.
“Today is the culmination of years of sacrifice, hard work and discipline. I’m undefeated for a reason but I feel people underestimate me and I like that. I’ve been underestimated my whole career. I’ve thrived off people say I couldn’t do it.
“I respect Caleb Plant. He’s the champion for a reason and I respect any fighter who can step into that ring. You have to be a different kind of animal to do that in front of all those people, and I am that animal.
“I’m coming with power, força, speed and I’m going to give it everything I have. I’m going to become the new IBF Super Middleweight World Champion.”
RICHARD TEMPESTA, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment & Esports
“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman, two of the world’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Manny returns to the ring at MGM Grand following his convincing win in January while Keith will fight in Las Vegas for the first time in four years, looking to remain undefeated.
“We’re truly excited to be hosting this sensational event at MGM Grand and we look forward to seeing everybody in July.”
BILL WANGER, Executive Vice President of Programming, Research & Content Strategy for FOX Sports
“Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman is a living legend, versus a legend in the making. We’re excited to deliver an unprecedented night of boxing on July 20 al MGM Grand de Las Vegas.
“Manny is one of boxing’s biggest stars. Keith Thurman is an undefeated world champion and a huge ratings draw. We’re excited to bring viewers inside the ropes and up close to the action on fight night, and produce extensive behind the scenes preview programming that will air across the FOX networks.
“FOX Sports is thrilled to have a battle on July 20 with such a compelling storyline to kick off a great night of championship boxing with the IBF champion Caleb Plant against the undefeated Mike Lee.
“Al gener, Caleb Plant headlined the most-watched boxing event ever on FS1. Now he’s fighting on the FOX network for the first time as the main event. At FOX Sports, big events that capture America’s attention are in our DNA. This fight certainly fits that bill.
“Our goal with the PBC deal is to build these fighters into household names, and we’re well on our way. We expect a great show on July 20 in Las Vegas.”

On training with new coach Justin Gamber:“I’ve been learning a lot since I started training with Justin Gamber, which was about six weeks ago. Nothing against my old trainers, I just felt I needed a new look. Justin and I work well together and I’ve improved tremendously. I’m learning how to relax more in the ring, which has helped me keep my power in the later rounds of sparring. Justin is a great coach and together we are going to make some noise in the light heavyweight division.”
Al seu recent camp d’entrenament: “I’ve put in a lot of hard work for this training camp and I can see the difference compared to other camps I’ve had in the past. I’m working on the fundamentals of boxing, using my jab more and setting up my combinations. I know I have the power to knock out my opponents, but now I’m learning more how to set it up. Living and training in Las Vegas has been a big boost to my career because the sparring out here is second to none. I’m having a great training camp.”
On his matchup with Marlos Simões: “I know Simões is a durable opponent who’s only been stopped once in his career. I’m expecting him to be in great shape. He’s had a lot of success in the ring, so I’m preparing for a guy who can really fight. I’m just going to go in there and execute my game plan.”
On when he will be ready for a world title shot: “I want to get as many fights as possible this year and make a world title run in 2020. Per descomptat, everything is predicated fight to fight, but that is the goal.”
On making his televised return on FS1: “Fighting on FS1 is always fun and exciting. FS1 is the platform where us fighters get the most exposure while we’re coming up. You can’t compare any other network to FOX, where the whole world can tune in. It’s truly a blessing for me to be fighting on FS1.”

“I will make sure that I’m 100 percent and ready for this fight. We’ll find out what happens on July 20, but it’s going to be exciting. I like being the underdog for this fight because that gives me more focus in training.
“I’ve been careless and over confident in some fights, but this time around it’s different. Keith Thurman is a good fighter and we’re going to make sure the fans are happy on July 20.

KEITH Thurman
“Estem preparats. This is a blessing to be here and a dream come true. I started boxing at the age of seven. I worked hard to be a champion and I’ve always wanted to fight the greatest names in the sport.
“Pacquiao wants a challenge and I’m very grateful to be sharing a ring with a legend. If you understand boxing history, you know that times change. I believe boxing is in a new era. Come July 20, Pacquiao will disappear. He’ll always be remembered in the sport, but I’m doing to Manny Pacquiao, what he did to Oscar De La Hoya.
“Aquesta és una gran lluita. I’ve waited 22 months to get back in the game. We had our ups and downs, but Keith Thurman is back on the rise. I’m going to make a big statement.
“This training camp is going to start this Saturday. Once I get home, it’s grind time and on July 20, it’s going to be my time.
“Juliol 20 és 23 anys en la fabricació. I’ve dedicated myself to this beautiful sport of boxing for so long and my first trainer Ben Getty told me that I had what it takes to be a great champion. I’m truly looking forward to having another chance to show it.
“We definitely had a stretch with a lack of activity. Not everyone knows who Keith Thurman is today. You could see that I wasn’t at my best in January. But on July 20, ‘Una vegada’ està de tornada. I’m getting ready to have one of my best training camps for this fight.
“I had the knockdown in my last fight that was a reminder of what ‘One Time’ es tracta de. We brushed the dust off and we’re taking that momentum into this fight.
“I’m excited to be the guy who shows Manny Pacquiao where the exit is. He’s a legend who’s done great things. But I’ve never lost to a fighter who’s lost seven times. I have no intention of losing this fight and I don’t see him winning in any shape or form.
“Speed, power and overall ring IQ will be the difference. I’m one of the smartest fighters in the sport. I always find a way to win. I know Pacquiao comes in shape, but he’s going to fall short of that finish line.”
CALEB PLANTA
“I’ve been boxing my whole life. They say it takes 10,000 hours of work to become a true success at something. Come July 20, I’ll have been doing this for 18-years straight. No breaks and no Plan B. I’ve just been boxing, day in and day out.
“Mike Lee may have a financial degree, but in boxing, I have a Ph.D. That’s something he doesn’t know anything about. I came from very rock bottom, where nobody makes it out. If he thinks I’m going to let him mess this up for me, he’s not half as educated as I thought he was.
“I have everything to lose. Every night from now until July 20, I hope Lee and his team are envisioning the worlds ‘and still’. Because that’s all anyone is going to hear on fight night.
“It’s exciting to be on this primetime card. Everyone who wants to take it to the top of the sport wants to be a main event at MGM Grand. Al mateix temps, where we fight is not most important to me. We can fight in the parking lot, because it’s about legacy to me.
“Anytime that someone steps into the ring and wins their first world title in fashion, it’s going to be a confidence booster. But I did tell everyone what was going to happen. There’s a season for everything and right now is mine.
“He may come into the ring bigger and heavier than me, but boxing skills are what wins fights. Years of repetition with boxing teachers, are what wins fights. You’ll see all of that on July 20.
“I don’t look at myself as the favorite in any fight. I’m the one who’s not supposed to be here. Put everyone through what I’ve been through, and see if they would make it here.”
MIKE LEE
“This has been a culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. El més important, I’ve gotten somewhere no one thought I would get. I’m fine being the underdog. I have nothing to lose.
“I’m coming out with everything I have. Això és tot el que he volgut. I respect Caleb Plant, but on July 20, I plan on making it my moment.
“I’ve headlined cards in Chicago and at Notre Dame before so the bright lights are nothing new to me. I’m very excited and working hard. Al juliol 20, I’m going to keep proving people wrong.
“The whole reason I got into this sport is to do it on big stages. Everyone wants to prove it on the biggest stage possible and there’s no bigger stage than at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It’s a dream come true and it’s the reason I’ve worked so hard.
“Moving down in weight is an advantage. I’ve got a great team working with me to make the weight easily and rehydrate the right way. I’m going to be the bigger and stronger guy in the ring.
“I’ve had people that never thought I’d get here and I love it. It takes a different kind of person to step into that ring in front of so many people. You have to be ready to go out there and risk it all. I fight who they put in front of me and keep winning. That’s what I plan to do on July 20.”

“FOX Sports is thrilled to present our second Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View featuring one of boxing’s biggest stars, Pacquiao, facing the champion Thurman, who wowed nearly three-million viewers live on FOX in January with his latest title defense,” va dir Bill Wanger, EVP de FOX Sports, Programació, Operacions en viu i investigació. “This promises to be a can’t miss night of boxing with an unprecedented FOX Sports PBC doubleheader, as we open the evening with the FOX PBC Fight Night, headlined by newly crowned champion Plant defending his title against the undefeated Lee. Plant set the FS1 viewership record for a boxing show in January when he won his title, and we’re sure this match up will deliver even bigger audiences leading into the Pacquiao vs. Thurman Pay-Per-View.”
A three-time Fighter of the Year and the Boxing Writers Association of America’s reigning Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs), who hails from Sarangani Province in the Philippines, is the only sitting Congressman and Senator to win a world title. After serving two terms as Congressman, Pacquiao was elected to a Philippine Senate seat in May 2016, capturing over 16 milió de vots a nivell nacional. Pacquiao’s boxing resume features victories over at least seven current and future Hall of Famers, incloent a Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marc Antoni Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez.
In his last match on January 19, Pacquiao put on a vintage performance against four-division champion Adrien Broner, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision in the 70th match of his illustrious career. It was his first time fighting in the U.S. en dos anys. Abans d'això, he scored an impressive knockout over Lucas Matthysse to win his version of the WBA welterweight championship in Malaysia last July 15.
“All my life I have confronted challenges — A la vida, in politics, and inside the ring,” va dir Pacquiao. “Keith Thurman is the type of challenge I crave as a fighter. He is the biggest and best test. That is why I want to fight him. We are going to give boxing fans an exciting fight and a great night.”
The 30-year-old Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs) is the longest reigning welterweight champion in boxing, having collected his WBA title with a stoppage victory over Diego Chaves in 2013. He has successfully defended that title eight times and became a unified welterweight champion when he defeated Danny Garcia by split decision to win the WBC title. Plagued by a litany of injuries, including bone chips in his right elbow that had to be surgically removed, Thurman was out of action for nearly two years before getting back into the ring with a hard fought victory against Josesito Lopez in January on FOX.
Having taken up the sport when he was in grade school, the Clearwater, Florida native blossomed under the tutelage of his first trainer, Ben Getty, to become an outstanding amateur. Though Getty has passed away, Thurman still carries those boxing and life lessons with him whenever he steps into the ring with his current longtime trainer Dan Birmingham. His power punching earned him the nickname “One Time.”
“I’m extremely excited for this opportunity to get a fight that I’ve wanted for a long time,” Said Thurman. “The right circumstances have aligned for it to happen now and I’m grateful for that. Me and my team are looking forward to it. It’s going to be an honor to be in the ring with Manny Pacquiao. It’s going to be fun to go back to MGM Grand in my first pay-per-view with FOX Sports. I believe that Ben Getty would be very proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish. He said I’d be able to dominate the welterweight division and be a multi-million-dollar fighter and a star in the sport.
“Manny Pacquiao is beatable. He’s been beaten before in his career. He’s a fan favorite and a legend. For me his boxing tactics are predictable. He fights in spurts and you have to take advantage of that. You have to be respectful of his power. But I believe my movement, athleticism and ring knowledge will be able to present him something he’s not seen in all his years of boxing.”

Plantes vs. Lee will see two hungry unbeaten fighters square off, as Plant looks to defend his title and cement himself as the class of the 168-pound ranks, while Lee will look to join the super middleweight elite as a world champion for the first time.
To win the title, Planta (18-0, 10 KOs) turned the tables on the hard-hitting Venezuelan slugger Jose Uzcategui in their IBF championship fight in January on FS1. Going into the match the consensus was that Uzcategui was the harder puncher and that Plant would have to withstand his power to walk away with the belt. It was the 26-year-old Plant, però, who stunned Uzcategui by dropping him to the canvas twice on the way to a convincing unanimous decision. It was an emotional night for Plant, who is from Ashland City, Tenn. and now lives in Las Vegas. He had dedicated his career-best victory to the memory of his late daughter Alia, who suffered from a rare disorder that caused seizures.
“I’m more than ready to return to the ring on July 20 as the main event on FOX at MGM Grand in Las Vegas,” aquesta planta. “I’ll be defending my IBF world title in tremendous fashion and this is one fight you guys will not want to miss. I’m taking this fight just as seriously as my last opponent.
“This guy is undefeated and looking to stay that way, but unfortunately for him, he took on the wrong challenge against the wrong guy. Come July 20, he’ll realize he’s in deeper water than he’s ever been in. My last fight was for Alia, but this fight I’m dedicating to my beautiful mother Beth Ann. May you Rest in Peace, Love you Momma.”
The 31-year-old Lee (21-0, 11 KOs) graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in business, but decided to pursue his boxing dreams rather than take a job on Wall Street. A native of Wheaton, Illinois who now lives in Chicago, Lee has made a steady climb up the ladder and has been campaigning at light heavyweight. He will be moving down to super middleweight to challenge for his first world championship. Lee is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Jose Hernandez on last June 8.
“I’ve have dreamt of the opportunity to fight for a world title for years,” va dir Lee. “All the years of hard work, pain and sacrifice have led me to this moment. Al juliol 20 I will be victorious and prove everyone wrong that didn’t believe I was good enough to even get here.
“When I spent almost two years in and out of hospitals battling an autoimmune disease there were moments I never thought I could get back to this level and there were doctors who told me my fighting days were done. But I have won every fight since and I plan to prove that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I could not have done this without my Dad, my advisor Mike Borao and my trainers Jamal Abdullah and Julian Chua.”
COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Maig 20, 2019) – Team USA lleuger Keyshawn Davis ha estat preparant tota la seva jove vida per representar el seu país als Jocs Olímpics. Si tot va com estava previst i roman al calendari, el Norfolk, Virginia Native serà la boxa per a l'or l'any que ve al Japó.
El Davis de 20 anys, que fa esport a 110-15 rècord amateur, està acumulant medalles a un ritme tan tòrrid que necessita desesperadament ampliar el seu estoig. És un elit en dues ocasions nacional (2017-18) i en dues ocasions Pal Nacional (2013-14) campió, així com un medallista d'or al 2017 Qualificador d’elit oriental, 2017 Joves oberts i 2017 Guants d'Or Nacionals.
Internacional, Ha fet alguns danys greus, massa. El més destacat de la seva carrera aficionada, fins a la data, està guanyant or al Torneig Strandja de l'any passat a Bulgària. Davis va capturar recentment la plata al 2019 Qualificador de jocs pan-americans a Nicaragua, A més del 2018 Copa de química a Alemanya.
“Vaig guanyar la meva primera medalla d'or internacional a Bulgària,” Davis va estar d’acord amb que era el més destacat de la seva carrera aficionada. “També em van seleccionar com a boxeador més destacat.”
La seva victòria al 2018 Els nacionals dels Estats Units el van qualificar per al 2020 Proves olímpiques per a la boxa, Mentre la seva plata en el qualificador dels Jocs Pan American el va qualificar per als Jocs Panamericans (27 de juliol a agost 2) a Lima, Perú. Aquest any també competirà als Campionats del Món d’Elite Men (Set. 7-21) A Yekaterinburg, Rússia.
“La qualificació per als judicis olímpics no va ser gaire cosa per a mi perquè s'esperava,” Davis va assenyalar. “Per a mi va ser pujar a Team USA, de nou i aquest és el meu segon any a l’equip.
“No hi ha una competència real per a la qualificar -me per a l'equip de boxa olímpica dels EUA. La meva última lluita als nacionals va ser una mica un repte (vs. Dalin Limiopapu), Perquè em vaig relliscar i em vaig aixecar.”
Als Jocs Pan American, Davis podria enfrontar -se molt bé al boxeador cubà que el va derrotar per un marcador de 3-2 al qualificatiu dels Jocs Pan American, Andy Cruz, Configuració d’un possible partit de goma entre els dos boxejadors d’elit l’any que ve als Jocs Olímpics.
“Hi ha molt bones possibilitats que tornarem a lluitar als jocs Pan-AM, Molt probablement al Japó, també,” Davis va afegir. “Hem de guanyar dues rondes per classificar -nos per a les finals i per venjar -me. Cruz té molta més experiència internacional que jo. Ell és 26 Campió del món i dels anys a la nostra classe de pes.”
Davis va començar a boxa quan tenia nou anys quan, Cansat de Keyshawn i els seus dos germans lluitant entre ells i a l'escola, La seva mare li va preguntar si volien anar al gimnàs per aprendre a caixa. Ho van fer i avui, els seus més grans (Kelvin) i més jove (Kon) Els germans també són boxejadors aficionats.
Poc després d’això es va conèixer troy Isley, que és membre de Team USA, I avui estan tan a prop com els germans.
“Vaig conèixer Troy Way Back, Després de començar la boxa,” Davis va recordar. “Ens trobarem als nacionals i altres tornejos i penjarem amb els meus germans. El meu entrenador es va retirar, Així que vaig anar al gimnàs de Troy (Alexandria, Virginia) i va començar a treballar amb l'entrenador Kay (Coroma, Entrenador nacional de boxa dels Estats Units). Ens acostem al nostre somni (representant els EUA als Jocs Olímpics) Això va començar fa tant de temps que sembla irreal que s’acosta. Podeu esperar que dos boxejadors de Virgínia tornin del Japó amb medalles d'or. Som com els germans.”
“L’entrenador Kay em va acorralar per primera vegada quan era 13. És un gran entrenador que vol que tinguem èxit a la vida, No només al ring. Vol el millor per a nosaltres. Tenim un dels millors EUA. Els equips de boxa durant molt de temps i es mostraran al Japó. Sempre ens ajudem mútuament i aquest és un moment molt emocionant per a nosaltres ara mateix.”
Un altre amic íntim de Keyshawn és, 2018 Medallista de plata olímpic Shakur Stevenson, Qui ha passat pel que s’acosta Keyshawn, i ara està al nivell com a perspectiva professional en què Davis aspira a arribar.
“Shakur sempre m’ha donat suport,” Davis va continuar. “Parlem molt. Honestament, Em costa no pensar en convertir -se en professional, Perquè la meva carrera aficionada s’acabarà després dels Jocs Olímpics. Sempre m’han ensenyat a tenir un pla, Així que m’he estat preparant, sensible als negocis, Mirant les meves opcions (gerent i promotor), I per mantenir el bon camí des dels amateurs fins als professionals.”
Si no fos boxeador, Davis calcula que seria un agent immobiliari, Però gaudeix a fons la vida com a boxeador.
“Aquesta ha estat una experiència fantàstica,” Davis va parlar de la seva carrera de boxa aficionada, “Especialment aquest any preparant -se per als Pan AMS. He tingut oportunitats de viatjar i conèixer gent, Però la millor part és formar part d’un equip com aquest. La boxa és un esport individual però, fora del ring, Sempre ens pressionem fort els uns pels altres.
“Agraeixo a Déu cada dia quan em llevo per posar -me en aquesta posició. Tot el que vull fer és proporcionar per a mi i la meva família. A la meva edat, Estic per davant del partit.”
