Lämna en kommentar
BOSTON (December 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach Fighter Locker har undertecknat Boston fjädervikt Troy Anderson, Jr. till ett exklusivt chefsavtal.

Anderson, en fackförening Sheetmetal arbetare i lokal 17, var en dekorerad amatör som vann en guldmedalj på 2016 Rocky Marciano-turnering, samt New Englands turnering två gånger i 2018-2019, och vann Central Division i New England Golden Gloves Tournament två gånger och tvåa två gånger under hans fyra år (2016-2019) springa. Han tävlade också i tre nationella turneringar.

Anderson, fast, började inte boxas förrän han var 23, när han gick in i ett gym för första gången, 10 år efter att hans två bästa vänner introducerade honom till boxning. “Jag började i boxning eftersom jag hoppades kunna lyckas och nå mina mål genom boxning,” Förklarade Anderson. “Jag tränar på Nonantum Boxing Club i Newton (MA), var Marc Gargaro är min tränare. Han är en av de bästa i New England. Han tränar för USA Boxing. Jag skulle inte vara i den här branschen utan honom eftersom han har byggt mig från grunden. Jag är så glad att bli coachad av honom och vi har utvecklat ett band som familj.”

Vid en ålder av 28, Anderson har bestämt sig för att bli proffs, vilken, Naturligtvis, är relativt sent i boxning. Men han känner fortfarande 21 på grund av hur han rör sig och att han inte var i fel ände av misshandel hos amatörerna. Han har också fått förtroende med några av New Englands bästa proffs och amatörer.

“Jag har jobbat mycket i gymmet tidigare 5 eller 6 år och jag blev trött på amatörerna,” Anderson förklarade varför han bestämde sig för att bli proffs nu. “Det är inte för sent för mig; andra har börjat sent som jag och blev världsmästare. Jag vill vara i den gruppen.

“Jag tackar Ryan Roach för att han gav mig denna möjlighet att gå med i Fighter Locker. Han är ärlig och jag var bekväm med honom. Jag gillar honom och vet att han kommer att hålla ett öga på mig. Varför inte skriva med en Boston-chef för att hjälpa till att sätta boxning här på kartan igen?”

“Jag är glad över att få Troy Anderson, Jr” Sa mört. “Jag har tittat på honom i flera år och han har utvecklats väl under Marc. Troy har kämpat med de bästa i landet. Han är en mycket rundad fighter. Jag är glad att lägga till honom i stallen. Han är en BOSTON-fighter och en fantastisk ung man. Det är en vinn-vinn för oss.”



Anderson inser att han måste flytta för att ställa in sina skott, kasta flera slag, och ändra vinklar. Han är en snygg sydpote som normalt inte rusar i ringen. Anderson är glad över att veta att rivande kroppsstansar kommer att få poäng, till skillnad från i amatörledningarna, och bryta ner sin motståndare. Han förutspår att han kommer att visa mer kraft än han gjorde som amatör.

“Jag drivs för att nå mina mål,” avslutade han. “Jag hoppas kunna göra min pro-debut tidigt nästa år, pågående pandemibegränsningar. Ryan har hållit sina krigare upptagna, några strider i Mexiko. Jag älskar utmaningen och kan inte vänta!”

Fighter Lockers växande stall av begåvade boxare inkluderar Dorchester, MA weltervikt Gabriel Duluc (15-3, 4 Kos), Troy, NY superlätt Ray Jay “Jagaren” Bermudez (10-0, Kos), Toronto, Kanada weltervikt Jeff “Problemet 1” Tabrizi (8-3, 7 Kos), West Haven, CT super weltervikt Jimmy “Tyst storm” Williams (16-4-2, 5 Kos), superfjäder Jesus Vasquez, Jr. (6-0, 2 Kos), super mellanvikt “Den fantastiska” Shawn McCalman (4-0, 2 Kos), US.

USA vs. Irland East Boxing Tour
Kicks-off Mars 12 i Boston
Biljetter till försäljning, VISIT WWW.USABOXING.ORG
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Februari 26, 2018) – One of boxing’s most beloved boxer of all-time, “Irländsk” Micky Ward, and the Irishman best known for knocking out legendary Mike Tyson into retirement, Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride, have been selected as honorary team captains, respektive, of Team USA and Team Ireland for the first leg of the three-city 2018 USA vs. Irland East Boxing Tour.
The tour commences Måndag, Mars 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district. The Boston stop, which is being presented by Budweiser, have general admission tickets for $20.00 and a limited amount of $30.00 reserved tickets on sale and are available to purchase online here.
Ward, 52, is the pride of Lowell, Massachusetts, where he is a living legend. A three-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur boxer, Ward fought professionally between 1985-2003, registering a 38-13 (27 Kos) record as a junior welterweight throughout his pro career. He is best known for his epic trilogy with the late Arturo Gatti, in which he became the first fighter with double-digit losses to earn a $1-million purse (två gånger).
An all-action, crowed-pleasing fighter, Ward was involved in three Fight of the Year honors, the first and third of the Gatti trilogy, along with a memorable match with Emanuel Augustus. Ward was the winner in two (first Gatti and Augustus) of those classic fights.
Boston-native Mark Wahlberg portrayed Ward in, The Fighter, a movie about Micky’s life that won two Academy Awards.
“To be honorary captain of Team USA means a lot to me,” Ward said. “It’s great having elite amateur boxing back in Boston with the national teams from the United States and Ireland. It’s especially exciting for me as an Irish-American.”
The 44-year-old McBride was born in Clones, Irland. Han var en medlem av 1992 Ireland Olympic Boxing Team at the age of 19, competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spanien. Two years earlier, he represented Ireland at the European Championships and one of his teammates was billy Walsh, Team USA’s current head coach of Team USA and former chief trainer for Team Ireland.
Like other Irish boxers, McBride came to the United States to enhance his professional career, landing in the predominately Irish neighborhood of Dorchester, a working-class section Boston, back in 1999. Den 6′ 6″, 285-pound McBride started training in Brockton, MA with Goody Petronelli, who had trained Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and later Packy Collins, the brother of another Petronelli-trained fighter, världsmästare Stevie Collins.
McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, retiring with a 35-10-1 (29 Kos), highlighted by his shocking sixth-round knockout of Tyson in 2005, driving the “Baddest Man on the Planet” into ring retirement.
“I feel good about being honorary captain of Team Ireland,” remarked the still thickly Irish-brogue McBride, who still lives with his family in Dorchester. “I’m honored to be carrying the Irish flag for these fighters. I’m not sure how many of them remember me as the man who beat Tyson. I know some of the Irish coaches and I still support boxing in Ireland as well as America. I just love boxing. And it’s always a pleasure to be with my friend, Micky Ward. He’s a good lad.”
USA vs.. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue Mars 15 på Massmutual Center i Springfield, Mass., concluding Mars 21 på The Manchester Downtown Hotel i New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST och biljetter kommer att göras tillgängliga för köp under de närmaste veckorna. Varje stad kommer att visa upp till 12 ändarna, som alla kommer att livestreamas, gratis, på USA Boxing hemsida (www.usaboxing.org).
