Tampa, FL (Červen 13, 2018) – When unbeaten middleweight Connor Coyle entered the paid ranks, he was considered one of Ireland’s prized prospects. The Derry native medaled at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and generated a lot of interest from promoters across the globe.
Coyle ultimately signed with Tampa, FL based Fire Fist Promotions and five of his seven professional bouts took place in the Tampa region. To ensure he’s at his absolute best when entering the squared circle, Coyle treks more than 4000 miles from Ireland to Tampa for training camp.
While his stateside training camps play an integral role in Coyle’s improvement, it comes with major sacrifices.
“The hardest part is having to get up and leave my little girl for each camp,” Coyle said of training in Tampa while his 2-year-old daughter remains in Ireland. “I’ve been doing this since she was born and it’s hard because she doesn’t understand why.”
The 7-0 Coyle’s next challenge comes Saturday, Červen 16 when he meets rival Danny Pastrana of Orlando, FL in a ten round contest for the NBA Intercontinental middleweight title at the Coliseum in St Petersburg, FL.
Pastrana has a modest 6-4 Záznam s 1 KO but has faced good competition. He’s had a full training camp leading up to June 16 and Coyle’s expecting the confident Pastrana to be at his best.
“I’ve put in a full training camp and the work has been done in the gym. Training so far from home is a struggle with my daughter back in Ireland but it also inspires me. I’ll be ready for whatever Danny Pastrana brings Saturday night and plan to return to Ireland with the NBA championship.”
The card is promoted by Fire Fist Promotions in association with Money Round Boxing. A limited number of tickets are available at www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00548D9F1C967E.
Fans can also enjoy the fight live from anywhere in the world starting at 7 pm ET at Moneyroundboxing.com. The telecast will feature commentary by Boxing Hall of Famer Winky Wright.

Boxing Commission Launches Boxer Health & Safety Advisory Website
The British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) today announced the launch of the BIBA Health & Safety Executive website – www.boxbiba.co.uk– that not only covers Health & Safety advice, resources and information for boxers, but also features Mental Health awareness information and resources.
Od té doby 2016 the British & Irish Boxing Authority have strived to improve all aspects of Boxer Health & Safety, including appointing a number of specialists, including renowned sports injury specialist Professor Michael Graham MBChB; PhD; FRSM; BASEM; MICR; MCSFS; PCCMH; APIL Expert; FSB to the BIBA Medical Advisory Board to develop additional Boxer Health and Safety procedures, such as Cognitive Testing both as part of their licensing procedure as well as the post event medical, as well as to head up a team of experts to undertake long term research into Combat Sports related head injuries.
V březnu 2017 the British & Irish Boxing Authority were the first commission to introduce Infra-Scanners, a portable infrared brain scanner that can detect signs of bleed to the brains, at events sanctioned by themselves, following a number of serious head injuries within the sport, including the death of Mike Towell in 2016.
Another recent British & Irish Boxing Authority initiative was the introduction in January 2018 of permitting Rehydration drinks in the corner for all contest of eight rounds and over, in an attempt to ensure that boxers remain hydrated in longer contests, which in itself can also reduce the risk of potential swelling or bleeds to the brain.
On announcing the new Health & Safety Executive website BIBA CEO and Executive Vice President Gianluca Di Caro stated;
“Back in February we signed up to the Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation and as part of our action plan we decided to create a specific website to raise Mental Health awareness within the sport.
During the discussions with the committee that overseas our Mental Health policies it dawned on me that whilst it is essential that we get the information and resources available on the very important subject of Mental Health, that we should also cover other equally important Health & Safety matters, especially those that may reduce the potential risks of bleeds to the brain as well as take a serious look at the current rules of the sport to improve the Health & Safety of those that compete.
Another factor that led us to decide to create an all-encompassing HSE website was that our leading team of specialists are currently undertaking a long-term research project into head injuries within not just Boxing but all Combat Sports.
Even though we are only a few months into this research project we have already highlighted a number of areas, within the current rules, that need to be seriously looked at and changes made, we will also be highlighting these proposed changes on the new HSE website ahead of lobbying all World and Regional Championship Organisations, the Boxing and Combat Sports Industry Associations as well as other Commissions around the world to try and get these incredibly vital changes to the rules introduced.
Those of us who govern the sport need to consider making much needed changes to the rules now, as well as move with the times and embrace new technology, especially if these can prevent further tragedies, as I believe it is our, the Commissions that Govern the Sport’s responsibility to ensure that the Health & Safety of those that compete is of the highest level possible, not to do so would be dangerous and irresponsible and could even destroy our beloved sport, by basically help in making the case, by our own inaction, for those that want Professional Boxing banned.”
The British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) Health & Safety Executive website – www.boxbiba.co.uk – went live today and will be updated regularly to provide boxers with an unequalled information and resources reference point.

Amateur Boxing: USA vs Ireland New England Tour Closes Out With Fantastic Night of Action in Manchester, NH
Fight Report By: Rich Bergeron

PHOTO SLIDESHOW (contact rich.bergeron@gmail.com for photo copies):
Boxing fans packed the Manchester Downtown Hotel Wednesday night to take in a spectacular night of elite amateur boxing. This was the final stop on a three-city tour of Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The scheduled fights featured Team USA amateurs facing the best amateur boxers from Ireland. By the final bell, Ireland managed to finish the eight bouts of the evening with a tie score, their best outcome of the tour. Team USA won the first two duals of the tour in Boston and Springfield, příslušně, podle skóre 8-4 a 7-3.
Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, nicméně. Pro většinu zúčastněných boxerů to byla skvělá příležitost k vyladění jejich technik a získání potřebných zkušeností z mezinárodních soutěží. Někteří z nejlepších interpretů středeční noci budou pravděpodobně v nadcházejícím období zastupovat své země 2020 Olympijské hry.
Hlavní událost noci představovala 2016 Bronzový medailista z mistrovství světa mládeže Richard Torrez dominující trojnásobnému irskému národnímu šampionovi Deanovi Gardinerovi. Výška a dlouhý dosah irského bojovníka prostě nemohly překonat rychlé tempo a vynikající obrannou pozici kratšího Američana.
Torrez strávil první kolo mistrovským fintováním a úderem, zatímco skóroval pomocí několika bombardovacích háků. Torrez změnil úrovně, použitý úhledný pohyb hlavy, a nikdy neopustil nohu z plynu, jak se Gardiner v rané fázi hnal vpřed s nevyváženým a divokým přístupem. V první se Ir spojil s úderem těla, ale nic jiného.
Torrez udržel rychlou pracovní rychlost v dalším snímku, rozpoutání levého a pravého háku a čisté přistání po většinu kola. Snadno skóroval do těla a hlavy, ačkoli velká část kola viděla, jak se jeho protivník kryje a čeká na otvory. Jeden rovně vlevo od Torreze poslal svého protivníka na okamžik k navíjení, ale vyšší muž se vzpamatoval a přistál fenomenální levý hák na hlavu Torreze, když bojoval z provazů. Gardiner se pokusil přistát většinou přímé údery na vnější stranu a zdálo se, že není schopen své údery zblízka otočit.
Třetí kolo vidělo, jak to oba bojovníci tloukli až do závěrečného zvonu s jednou z nejdivočejších směn noci a noci, ale pro Gardinera bylo příliš málo a příliš pozdě. Prostě nemohl vytočit svůj rozsah. Torrez svého oponenta jen přepracoval a přistál s několika úhlednými háky, aby mohl vyrazit svými bušícími pravými a levými háky. Úder používal střídmě, ale efektivně, utrácí většinu finálního rámce za cílení na Gardinerovo tělo. Torrez si svým výkonem vysloužil vítězství v jednomyslném rozhodnutí a v tomto procesu nepřijal více než hrst tvrdých střel.
Kelly Harrington, stříbrný medailista z Irska, pravděpodobně měla nejchytřejší výkon svého týmu při plavbě k jednomyslnému rozhodnutí vítězství nad Stacia Suttles v úvodním zápase noci. Suttles se snažila udržet si ideální děrovací rozsah proti neutuchajícímu útoku Harringtona v prvním kole, trávila většinu tří minut houpáním a tkáním, aby se pokusila vyhnout ostrým kombinacím svého protivníka. Suttlesová přistála její úder docela důsledně, a začala dávat dohromady několik kombinací pozdě v kole, ale Harrington je absolutní odborník, pokud jde o pohyb hlavy. Vypadala, jako by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. byl jedním z jejích trenérů, protože používala techniku nízkých rukou s neustálými fintami, proklouznutí úderu a změna úrovně. První kolo ji vidělo přistát krásnou rovnou zleva k hlavě a fantastickou kombinací těla a hlavy, která pevně přistála. Uvolnila několik divokých háků, ačkoli několik z nich bylo divokých senátorů. Níže je obrázek Harringtona během jednoho z několika krátkých okamžiků boje, kdy zvedla obě ruce, aby si chránila obličej.
