Fay is a Springfield police officer who started his program 10 много лет назад, last year moving into Central City Boxing and Barbell Gym, primarily to keep kids off the street, teaching them values to become productive citizens.
“Our program, первый, is youth development and second, бокс,” Fay explained. “We use boxing as a vehicle for valuable teaching lessons, embodying the same values of boxing: competition, cohesiveness and integrity. Springfield has had a long history in boxing. The Golden Gloves were held in Holyoke, one city over from Springfield, для 50 years before coming here. Golden Gloves has funded a lot of small gyms because many of these kids can’t afford fees. We’ve bridged the gap by hosting shows that raises money and creates fanbases.
“На протяжении многих лет, Марвин Хаглер, Марлон Старлинг, Микки Уорд, John Scully and so many others have come through USA Boxing programs in New England. Boxing represents life; how to conduct themselves in and out of the ring. Boxing is a small fraternity and boxers walk up those steps and through the ropes, in front of everybody, and confront their fears. Boxing is determined by judges and, в жизни, you are judged by how you live by laws. Life values are taught through boxing.
“Hosting the USA-Boxing Northeast Boxing Tour gives kids in our program an opportunity to watch up close the top boxers who are representing their country. My kids realize that they could do that someday. They see the best boxers in the country and that’s where they want to be.”
Anticipated Team USA boxers competing in Springfield include 2017 Элитный бронзовый призер чемпионата мира Трой Айли (Александрия, ВА.), вместе с 2017 Elite World Championship team members Delante Джонсон (Кливленд, Огайо), Virginia Fuchs (лагерь, Техас), who won four international gold medals last year, и 2016 Молодежный чемпионат мира бронзовый призер и 2017 США бокс супер тяжелый вес Чемпион, Ричард Torrez (Тулар, ТАКОЙ КАК). All boxers are subject to change.
Retired three-time, Два-чемпион мира Хосе Антонио Ривера started boxing in Springfield before moving to another Western N.E. stronghold in Worcester (Массачусетс). Now promoting professional shows, Rivera excelled as an amateur, winning top honors at the New England Golden Gloves and twice in the Western N.E. Чемпионат, highlighted by a bronze-medal performance at the PAL Championships.
“I was fortunate to be part of USA Boxing,” Ривера сказал. “Gaining experience in amateur boxing helped mold me as a person and give me confidence to pursue my dream of becoming world champion as a professional. I started boxing in Springfield when I was 15, before moving to Worcester (Массачусетс), becoming part of Carlo Garcia‘s growing stable of national and regional champions.”

Билеты в продаже, ПОСЕЩЕНИЕ WWW.USABOXING.ORG
Колорадо-Спрингс, Круг. (Февраль 26, 2018) – One of boxing’s most beloved boxer of all-time, “Ирландский” Микки Уорд, and the Irishman best known for knocking out legendary Майк Тайсон into retirement, Кевин “Клоны Колосс” McBride, have been selected as honorary team captains, соответственно, of Team USA and Team Ireland for the first leg of the three-city 2018 США против. Ирландия Северо-Восток Бокс тур.

Подопечный, 52, is the pride of Lowell, Массачусетс, 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 КО) record as a junior welterweight throughout his pro career. He is best known for his epic trilogy with the late Артуро Гатти, in which he became the first fighter with double-digit losses to earn a $1-million purse (дважды).
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 Эмануэль Огастес. Ward was the winner in two (first Gatti and Augustus) of those classic fights.
Boston-native Марк Уолберг portrayed Ward in, Истребитель, 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, Ирландия. Он был членом 1992 Ireland Olympic Boxing Team at the age of 19, competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Испания. Two years earlier, he represented Ireland at the European Championships and one of his teammates was Билли Уолш, 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, назад в 1999. 6′ 6″, 285-pound McBride started training in Brockton, MA with Goody Petronelli, who had trained Замечательное Марвин Хаглер, и позже Packy Collins, the brother of another Petronelli-trained fighter, чемпион мира Stevie Collins.
McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, уходя на пенсию с 35-10-1 (29 КО), 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, Микки Уорд. He’s a good lad.”

“Collegiate Fight Night” Homecoming for two West Point Cadet Boxers Luca LoConte Botis & Jack Ward

Оставить комментарий
Суббота, Ноябрь. 11 in Winchester, Массачусетс
(L-Р) – Лука LoConte Botis, head coach Ray Barone, and Jack Ward
WINCHESTER, Масса. (Октября 29, 2017) – “Collegiate Fight Night”, presented by the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) in association with USA Boxing, в субботу ночь (7 p.m. И начало), Ноябрь 11, will be a homecoming for a pair of West Point Cadets boxers with close ties to the town of Winchester (Массачусетс), Лука LoConte Botis и Jack Ward.
Ten amateur bouts are on tap at Maurer Auditorium in Winchester Town Hall (on Mt. Vernon St.) as the Cadets of the United States Military Academy at West Point are matched against a New England all-star caliber team comprised of boxers from the Coast Guard Academy (Нью-Лондон, Коннектикут), University of Massachusetts, Университет штата Коннектикут, Trinity College and Harvard University.
West Point requires all its Cadets, мужчина и женщина, to take 19 lessons of boxing and that, combined with the program’s tremendous success in competition over the years, results in its relatively high number of boxers (40) on a college boxing team. West Point voluntary head boxing coach Ray Barone is a military retiree who taught at West Point.
“Luca and Jack work hard in the gym and are leaders amongst their peers,” Coach Barone said. “They are top-of-the-line guys and we’re fortunate to have both on our team. West Point is a high-end academic school, like an Ivy League school, and we aren’t allowed to recruit boxers.
“We have another great group of boxers this year. It’s always, ‘Yes, сэр; не, сэр’ and they’re all very articulate. Luca and Jack, like other boxers on our team, are very respectful. Luca is a very good boxer who could very well be in the Fight of the Night. Jack came here as a football player and he’ll be in his first boxing match on November 11й.”
LoConte Botis and Ward, who has close to a 4.0 GPA, are sophomores who aspire to be Infantry officers upon graduation from West Point.
Luca attended West Point Prep School for one year before entering West Point Military Academy. A 2015 выпускник Winchester средней школы, he started boxing at a young age, capturing top honors in the New England Junior Olympics, and he developed his skills at Peter Welch’s Gym in South Boston, as well as with the Rivera brothers at the Somerville Boxing Club.
Because he always intended to box at West Point, Luca contacted boxing officials there when he was still in high school, and he knew the coaches and boxers before he officially got there. С 18 (11-7) amateur matches under his belt, Luca has invaluable experience in a sport he passionately views as a lifestyle, much more than a sport
“I am from Winchester and look at this show as a homecoming,” Luca remarked. “I fought there once as a freshman and now I want to show everybody at home that I’ve grown. I’m no longer a boy, I’m growing into a man, and boxing has a lot to do with that. Styles make fights and I know who I’m fighting. I plan to relax in the ring and give everybody a real show. I’m going to have a lot of fun, слишком, and leave with a smile on my face.
“I become a better version of myself, каждый день, by getting in the ring. Boxing takes its toll on the body and mind but, if I have a tough day academically or during military training, I get that anger out in the gym. Boxing is a release for me. It reminds me why I’m here. What I overcome in the ring, I can do in any other way. I plan to compete in the Golden Gloves this year and as an officer, I will lead men and women soldiers.”
Ward grew-up in Hampton, Нью-Гемпшир, but he has roots in Winchester, which he considers his second home. Jack attended Salisbury School, в Коннектикуте, and he was recruited as a football player. He decided not to play football at West Point and, despite having no prior experience as a boxer, he joined the West Point Boxing Team after meeting Coach Barone and some members of the squad.
“Я люблю конкурировать, discipline and conditioning and I’ve never been in as good shape as I am now as a boxer,” Jack explained. “Boxing adds to my overall development, умственно и физически, and the it will help me become a more effective leader: Calm under pressure, в и из кольца.
“Because my entire mother’s side is from Winchester, my extended family lives in Winchester, which is like home for me. I’m very happy to be boxing for the first time there and I plan on having a great outing.”
Former professional world champions “Ирландский” Микки Уорд (Лоуэлл) – no relations to Jack Ward — и Хосе Антонио “Gallo” Ривера (Вустер) will be special guests at “Collegiate Fight Night”.
