För omedelbar publicering
LOWELL, Mäss. (Januari 25, 2016) – Returning New England Golden Gloves welterweight champion Xavier Vega, av Lawrence (MA), leads a host of talented open and novice class amateur boxers into this Thursday night’s (Jan. 8) in the Central New England (Greater Lowell) semifinals of the 70th annual Lowell Sun Charities Golden Gloves Championship at historic Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
The 21-year-old Vega, representing Canal Street Boxing, faces Nashua (NH) utmanare Michael Fontanez in one of eight open class matches. There are also eight novice class matches scheduled.
Vega, som har en 33-3 amatör rekord, började inte boxas förrän han var 17 because he has only one kidney. A construction worker by day, Vega hopes to become a professional boxer and, om inte, a Lawrence police officer in order to give back to his community.

A novice super heavyweight showdown between heavy hitters Ryan Brooks, of Weymouth (MA), and Boston’s Christian Ortiz. One of the most exciting boxers in action denna torsdag evening is novice light welterweight Edwin Rozon, of Haverhill (MA). Arlington’s novice middleweight Peter Maher, representing the Somerville Boxing Club, is a promising prospect.

See Thursday night’s pairings below, as well as a remaining 2016 tidtabell.
