BUDAPEST, هنغاريا (أغسطس 31, 2018) — The final day of the 2018 Youth World Championships in Budapest, Hungary was another golden day for Team USA, as both هيفين جارسيا (El Monte, كاليفورنيا.) و Asa Stevens (Waianae, هاواي) won the female and male flyweight titles..
Stevens began the final day of boxing in the first bout against 2018 European Champion Ivan Price of England. Leading up to this showdown, Stevens and the USA Boxing coaching staff worked on a plan that would result in victory.
“The past three days we were creating a game plan of keeping distance and doing a lot of faints,” said Stevens after his gold medal performance. “I feel like we utilized it very well and that is how I got the win.”
The flyweight boxed a total of five times through the 11-day tournament, which included a split decision win over Patrick Clancy (أيرلندا), unanimous decision wins over Ibrahim Boukedim (فرنسا) and Samandar Kholmurodov (أوزبكستان), as well as a split decision win over Bhavesh Kattimani (الهند) في الدور قبل النهائي. His unanimous decision victory today over Price earned him his first World Championship title and the first youth flyweight title since Shakur Stevenson in 2014.
“This means a lot, no words can really explain how I feel,” stated Stevens. “This is the best feeling in the world.”
Garcia picked up her second World Championships title to add to her 2015 Junior World Championship title with her 4-1 انتصار قرار منقسم على أناميكا الهندية.
“My game plan was to use my jab and use that as a key,قال جارسيا. “I wanted to also work in the body shots and wear her down with those and plenty of combinations.”
Like her teammate, Garcia boxed a total of five days in a grueling bracket that included three bouts in a row. Her victories included a split decision over Hatice Akbas (ديك رومي) في الجولة الافتتاحية, unanimous decision wins over Rinka Kinoshita (اليابان) and Simran Kaur (انجلترا), as well as her rematch with Zhanssaya Abdaimova (كازاخستان) by split decision in the semifinals.
Garcia’s win today adds her to a list of female American boxers that have won multiple amateur world titles that includes JaJaira Gonzalez and Claressa Shields. Garcia is the first American to win both a junior and youth world title since Gonzalez did so in 2013 و 2014/2015. Garcia will also look to join Gonzalez in the record books with a win at this October’s Youth Olympics.
“This win feels great because it was harder than my first title in 2015,” continued Garcia. “Everyone is older and more experienced at this level, and I worked very hard to get to the top spot.”
Following the conclusion of the tournament, Augie Sanchez (لاس فيغاس, نيفادا.), Team USA’s Head National Junior and Youth Coach, was awarded Best Coach of the Tournament honors, في حين Isamary Aquino (Universal City, تكساس) was awarded her bronze medal during the medal ceremonies.
“I am very happy with the team,” said Sanchez at the end of the competition. “It was the whole staff that made this happen, and I am happy how our team performed overall.”
Team USA will begin their return home tomorrow with a total of three gold medals and one bronze after ten intense days of boxing. This year’s tournament brought over 350 boxers from over 50 countries from around the World. Joining Sanchez in the boxers corners throughout the tournament were assistant coaches Timothy Back (سينسيناتي, أوهايو), Eliza Olson (Redwood, كاليفورنيا.) و Rosario Solis (ايرفينغ, تكساس).

COLORADO SPRINGS, حضن. (يونيو 2, 2018 – USA Boxing announced today the four boxers who were nominated to represent the United States at the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018, pending approval by the United States Olympic Committee. The Youth Olympic Games will be held Oct. 6-8, with the boxing competition to take place Oct. 14-18 في الأرجنتين.
Following the 2017 Women’s Youth World Championships and 2018 Youth Continental Championships, two men and two women have been nominated for the prestigious competition. The team will be comprised of هيفين جارسيا (El Monte, كاليفورنيا.), Otha Jones III (توليدو, أوهايو), Roma Martinez (متواضع, تكساس) و هارلي ميديروس (نيويورك, N.Y.).
“We’ve got a great group of young talent representing Team USA at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires,” said USA Boxing High Performance Director Matt Johnson on the nominated boxers. “Each one has good international experience, having participated in a junior or youth world championships over the past few years. That experience will be key as they face some of the world’s best up and coming boxers this October.”
Garcia has been on the international scene since her impressive World Championships debut in 2015, where she became the Junior World Champion. The bantamweight represented Team USA at the 2017 Youth World Championships in Guwahati, India before clinching her spot to Argentina with her winning performance at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships this May. She is a two-time USA Boxing Youth National Champion, and currently has a record of 53-7.
Garcia described being able to represent the United States at the Youth Olympics as “amazing.” “Knowing that only four boxers are nominated, and I was one of them is a very huge accomplishment for me,” she stated.
“Being able to represent my country at the Youth Olympics is something I have worked hard for and now that I get the opportunity, I will be sure to work even harder to bring home that gold medal.”
Light welterweight Jones III solidified his position on Team USA by winning gold at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships. Jones III will be looking to add his third international medal in 2018 at these Games, after his silver medal performance earlier this year at the Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament in Bulgaria. جونز, الذي لديه سجل 267-11, is also the 2017 USA Boxing Youth National Champion, as well as a member of the 2015 Junior World Championships team.
“Not only is it an honor to represent Team USA in a huge tournament such as the Youth Olympics, I am pleased to represent my family as well,” stated Jones III.
“I grew up in the boxing gym. My family owns a gym, Soul City Gym, and all my brothers and sisters were brought up in the gym to show kids a better way to live than violence and making it this far will help me show that even more.”
Martinez was the sole American to qualify from the 2017 Women’s Youth World Championships last November. The featherweight was the 2016 USA Boxing Youth National Champion and 2017 USA Boxing Youth National Championship silver medalist. The Youth Olympic Games will be Martinez’s first international tournament of 2018, where she will be looking for her first international medal.
“When I received the notification that I was nominated for the Youth Olympic Games, I felt resurrected,” وقال مارتينيز. “I have experienced a few devastating life losses in the past six months, and was feeling confused about my future in the sport,” she explained.
“لكن, when I was contacted about this amazing opportunity, my vision became clear, my mind focused and my heart determined to take this opportunity not only for myself, but for every person who hoped and dreamed for a chance like this. I plan to take on this journey to Argentina with me; my faith, my boxing skills and a quote from my late teammate: ‘a boxers favorite scripture – it is better to give than to receive.”
Mederos is the final member of Team USA to be nominated for the Youth Olympic Games. The lightweight won bronze at the 2015 Junior World Championships prior to his transition to the youth division. Mederos is the 2017 Youth National Champion and earned his place to Buenos Aires following his impressive gold medal winning performance at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships.
“It feels amazing to be able to go to Argentina and represent my country in what I love to do most and get the chance to showcase my talent in front of everyone,” stated Mederos.
“I can guarantee you, the best Harley you’ve ever seen, جسديا وعقليا, will go out there and do the best that I can do and make everyone proud.”
All four boxers will return to Colorado Springs in July to begin training for the Youth Olympics. غارسيا, Jones and Mederos will use the 2018 Youth World Championships in Budapest, Hungary in August as a tuneup leading to the event before heading to Argentina in late September.
