Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

להשאיר תגובה

מנצ'סטר, קונטיקט. (מרץ 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect"נפלא" מיקוואן וויליאמס (15-0-1, 7 קוס) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre’Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) ארצות הברית (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 ל 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerפול צ'יכון added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (מנהל) ג'קי קאלן ו (אמרגן) לו DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, קומפילציה 45-13 שיא חובב, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, עכשיו, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

המנהל המהולל ג'קי קלן מנבא שמיקוואן ויליאמס הבלתי מנוצחת תהיה אלופת העולם השישית שלה

להשאיר תגובה

מנצ'סטר, קונטיקט. (פבואר 12, 2020) - חלוץ הנשיםג'קי קאלן, המנהלת הראשונה ומצליחה ביותר לטעון בהיסטוריה של האגרוף, מאוד מאמין בת 21 ללא הפסד"נפלא" מיקוואן וויליאמס (15-0-1, 7 קוס) תתפתח לאלופת העולם השישית שלה.

וויליאמס, לחימה ממזרח הרטפורד, CT, היא המכהנת של מועצת האגרוף העולמית (WBC) אלופת סופר קל משקל ארצות הברית.

"למיקי יש הרבה תכונות כמו חלק מהמגדלים באגרוף,"אמר קלן. "יש לו כמה מההבזק והמהירות של לוחמים כמו ריי לאונרד, והרגלי האימון וההתמדה של תומאס Hearns ו מייק טייסון. יש לו גם חיוך רוצח ונראה טוב הקטור קמאצ'ו, SR.

"Mykey יכול ללכת עד תואר עולמי. יש לו המהירות, גישה, ולב, יחד עם יכולת איגרוף יוצאת דופן. המאמן שלו מטופח בצורה מושלמת, פול צ'יכון, ששמר על מיקי נאמן לסגנונו, עובד קשה כדי לשכלל את המיומנות שלו. מיקי מתאמן חזק, אוכל נכון, ולוקח את המשחק ברצינות. "

"ג'קי מאוד מנוסה ובקיא באגרוף,"ויליאמס העיר. "היא עבדה עם כמה נהדרים, לוחמים ברמה העולמית, אז היא יודעת את המסלול שצריך לקחת אותי לשם. "

ציקון הוסיף, "חיפשתי את ג'קי כמנהל שלנו בגלל אהבתה לספורט, כמו גם הידע על כך שהיא מביאה לשולחן. היא מכבדת היטב, כפי שהיא בהחלט ראויה להיות. "

האיגרוף השתנה באופן דרמטי מאז שקאלן סיקר את המאבק הראשון שלה בעיתון היומי של דטרויט בשנת 1978. הכרטיס הראה את Hearns ו-מיקי גודווין.  היא הפכה לאוהדת מיידית וכתבה על אגרוף על בסיס קבוע. מאמן / מנהל אגדי מבוסס בדטרויט, עמנואל סטיוארד, שכר אותה כפובליציסט במכון הכושר המפורסם של קרונק. כמה מחברותיה הטובות ביותר עד היום הן לוחמות איתן עבדה אז. היא והרנס עדיין נפגשות.

לאחר ששימש כפרסומאי של קרונק במשך עשור, קלן החליטה להסתעף והיא החלה לנהל לוחמים. הלקוח הראשון שלה היה במשקל כבדבובי היץ, שהיום מקדם ומסעדן מצליח בשיקגו. היא המשיכה לנהל קבוצה של לוחמי Who's Who, כולל אלופי עולםג'יימס Toney, ברונקו מקרט, טום "בום בום" ג'ונסון, פינקלון תומאס וNonito Donaire.

קלן, שגברו על סקסיזם בענף האגרוף, ידוע בעיקר, אולי, על יחסי העבודה שלה עם טוני, בעיקר משום שחייה בתקופה ההיא היוו את ההשראה לפופולריות 2004 סרט, נגד החבלים, מככבמג ראיין כמו קלן.

"איגרוף היום הוא חיה שונה לחלוטין," היא הסבירה. "זה לא אומר שזה טוב יותר או גרוע יותר, פשוט שונה. היו בעבר יותר חדרי כושר בכל עיר, תוכניות חובבניות כבדות, המון מופעים ברשתות טלוויזיה, ומספיק מופעי מועדון מקומיים כדי להפעיל לוחם צעיר פעיל. היו לי בחורים אז שנלחמו 8 ל 10 פעמים בשנה, ש, כמובן, כמעט בלתי אפשרי ב 2020.

"גם למתנגדים לא היה מידע רב. אם היה לך מזל, אתה יכול לקנות קלטת. אם הלוחם לא היה בטלוויזיה, למרות ש, היה לך מזל. לא היה אינטרנט, כך שלא היה כמו BoxRec כדי לבדוק את הרשומות של המתנגדים. אתה רק צריך להאמין לשדכן. היו לי לוחמים שצפו להילחם א 14-4 בחור שגילה במשקל שהוא בעצם 16-0. "

אגרוף, ככל הנראה המקצוע השני הבכור, המשיך לשרוד, אם כי לעתים קרובות בנסיעה ברכבת הרים.

"הלוחמים של היום לא ממהרים להילחם זה בזה כמו שהיו בימי הרנס / האגלר / לאונרד / דוראן,”ציין קאלן. "אז, לוחמים רצו להילחם באמת כדי להיות הכי טובים שהם יכולים להיות. אני רואה שלוחמים כיום יותר אנליטיים ולוקחים פחות סיכויים.

"יש כיום גם ארגונים גדולים יותר של סנקציה. אז זה היה הכי WBA, WBC ו- IBF. שלא לדבר על מעולם לא היה אדם אחד שניהל עשרות ועשרות מתאגרפים בו זמנית. המשחק בהחלט השתנה!"

קלן, אם כי היא עדיין מושקעת רבות בספורט שהיא אוהבת. וויליאמס הבטוחה תהיה אלופת העולם הבאה שלה, החלום שלה יובא להיכל התהילה עם טוני.

"בשנת 1992,” קאלן סיכם, "אני נבחרתי ל"מנהל השנה" והאהבה שלי לספורט מעולם לא דעכה. כל עוד יש כישרון בחוץ הזקוק להדרכה, אני אשאר פעיל. "

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

להשאיר תגובה
Picture by Emily Harney / Team Williams

מנצ'סטר, קונטיקט. (נובמבר 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, גזירה, knockdown or, in the case of “נפלא” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, עכשיו 15-0-1 (7 קוס), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre’Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 קוס), ב “ברודווי אגרוף” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, עדיין, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight title.

וויליאמס’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ כוח, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, פול צ'יכון, was pleased when the judges’ scores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 פעמיים – for a majority draw. Never-the-less, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

“The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

“I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.”

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “הופתעתי,” הוא הודה. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (וויגינס) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. He didn’t. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wiggins’ hands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

“Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.”

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, אחרי הכל, הוא רק 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (CT) לוחם.

“I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “Time will tell. Styles make fights but I hurt him (וויגינס) several times.”

“We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,” ציקון הוסיף. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.”

“I was very proud of Mykey,” וויליאמס’ מנהל ג'קי קאלן העיר. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.”

מנצ'סטר, קונטיקט. (נִשׂגָב 22, 2019) — Even dangerous thunderstorms and tornado warnings couldn’t deter fans from attending yesterday’s meet-and-greet and back to school backpack give-way with undefeated super lightweight prospect “נפלא” Mykquan Williams, presented by DiBella Entertainment and Team Williams, at ROCS Gym in Manchester, קונטיקט.

Williams signed autographs, posed for pictures and gave each child (K-12) a free backpack for school.

The 21-year-old Williams (15-0, 7 קוס), who lives in East Hartford (CT), has an inspiring story in which his father was murdered when Mykquan was eight months old, and the family house burned to the ground when he was 10.

“Everything went very well,” a happy Williams said. “All the kids got a backpack and had a good time. My team made it possible for me to do it. Shout out to DiBella Entertainment, Wet Paint and Capital Bail Bonds. I did this event to give back to the community but, יותר חשוב, help parents who may have a little bit of difficulty getting everything their kids need for school.”

Williams is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) אלופת סופר קל משקל ארצות הברית, שמדורג אין. 5 by the United States Boxing Association (לַעֲרוֹך), ולא. 12 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF).

He is promoted by לו DiBella, managed by ג'קי קאלן and trained by פול צ'יכון.

NEW YORK, N.Y.. (יוני 28, 2016) – DiBella Entertainment has announced the signing of E. הרטפורד, Connecticut 18-year-old welterweight prospect Mykquan “Mykey” וויליאמס (1-0, 1 KO) לחוזה קידום מכירות בלעדי.
וויליאמס, who is currently finishing his junior year at A.I. Prince Technical School in Hartford, was a decorated amateur boxer with a 45-13 שיא חובב, highlighted by three gold-medal performances at the Ringside World Championships, in addition to winning the PAL Tournament and Silver Gloves Championships.
“I am thrilled to sign such a hungry, young prospect like Mykey Williams,” אמר לו DiBella. “Williams is an accomplished amateur and Jackie Kallen certainly has an eye for spotting great talent. He already has a growing fan base in the New England area and I am confident that he will quickly develop into a rising prospect.”
“Signing with DiBella was the best move for me,” Williams commented. “I’m excited to be fighting under the DiBella banner now. He’s a great promoter who will help me get to the world-class level in this sport. I’m just happy that the ball is finally rolling!”
Williams has already overcome tremendous obstacles during his young life, including the shooting murder of his father when Mykey was only one week old, and then his house burned down 10 years later.
פול צ'יכון, a 2014 קונטיקט. Boxing Hall of Fame inductee, has trained Williams since he was seven. “If anybody had a reason to go the wrong way, it was Mykey,” ציקון הוסיף. “But he’s a great kid who is a hard worker and is always happy with a positive attitude. He’s a boxer who can punch and when he sets up his opponent, היזהר, because he’s in big trouble. Mykey is a great finisher who moves well and has good defense. He’s a left-hander who goes to the body to breakdown his opponent. Mykey’s slick and hard to hit, but he’s also unique because he’s a naturally gifted athlete who could have excelled at any sport he chose.”
Although Williams made his successful professional debut on April 16ה at Foxwoods Resorts Casino in a card promoted by DiBella Entertainment, he will make his DiBella Entertainment debut ביום חמישי הקרוב לילה (יוני 30) at Foxwoods in a four-round bout.

BOXING’S TOP WOMEN TO HONOR KATHY DUVA WITH “RAGING BABE LUMINARY” AWARD AT RAGING BABE BRUNCH, NEW YORK, NEW YORK

להשאיר תגובה
NEW YORK – מאי 24, 2016 – The weekend of June 11th, boxing’s most influential women will gather for brunch in the Big Apple for the 7th Raging Babe event of its kind, dubbed New York, ניו יורק. Attendees will include promoters, network executives, public relations representatives, referees, fighters and others, and come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and levels of experience. Women who have attended Raging Babe events have networked, forged business and personal relationships and have been inspired by the stories of success and persistence shared by the hundreds of attendees over the past few years. There may be no woman that better personifies a story of success and persistence than קתי Duva, who will be honored with the Raging Babe Luminary Award at the brunch.

Duva, the CEO of Main Events, and a mother of three, has been involved with boxing for nearly forty years, entering the business while in college with her then boyfriend Dan Duva. The Duvas teamed up to promote some of boxing’s top talent over the years under the Main Events banner, including Evander Holyfield, לנוקס לואיס, Pernell Whitacker, Arturo Gatti and Fernando Vargas, all while cultivating powerful relationships with HBO and other networks. Kathy continued her husband’s legacy after his passing in 1996, becoming one of the most recognized figures in boxing. לאחרונה, Duva and Main Events have developed one of boxing’s most avoided superstars in Sergey Kovalev.

“Kathy Duva is the perfect honoree for our first New York City Brunch,” said Raging Babe founder and namesake Michelle Rosado. “אגרוף, like the ‘Concrete Jungle,’ has so many hard edges, and can be tough to navigate…but like New York City, it is full of opportunity for the right type of person, and Kathy Duva is that kind of person. She’s a headstrong, smart and persistent woman, who has an uncanny ability to endear people to her while not taking any gruff from anyone. It’s our honor to recognize her at the brunch.”

Past Raging Babe event honorees have included the “First Lady of Boxing” ג'קי קאלן, אס יחסי הציבור קלי סוונסון, פורץ דרך טלוויזיה Claudia Trejo, heart transplant recipient קנדי קנינגהם, היכל התהילה של אגרוף נבדה סמנכ"ל תפעול מישל קוראלס-לואיס, and Golden Boy’s מוניקה סירס. “It’s a privilege to stand in a room with women of this caliber,” אמר רוזאדו. “The Raging Babe Brunch started as a concept…something we might try to do yearly, but it’s become such a powerful and valuable event for attendees, we’re growing and doing more than one event per year. We’re able to do this because of the women of boxing that continue to support the event, ובוודאי, thanks to our event partners.
The East Coast is well overdue for a Raging Babe Brunch, and I’m so pleased to be able to work with our partners to bring the event to New York City.”

The Raging Babe Brunch is made possible by the generous support of World Boxing Organization (WBO), War Tape, Box Stats, Boss Case (owned and operated by Raging Babe Livvy Cunningham), מועצת אגרוף העולם (WBC) and Youth Fighting Forward.
