“What an incredible fight that was – major credit to both women” said Coyle, who trained with Taylor in Dublin when both were amateurs. “Katie really had to overcome a lot of adversity against Serrano especially in the fifth round. Katie showed incredible heart and came through like a champion. She’s a true warrior and great inspiration for me heading into the most important fight of my career.”

Undisputed Welterweight Champion Jessica McCaskill looking for Biggest names in Boxing

McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields


Chicago, IL (Maaliskuu 17, 2021) – Fresh off her second consecutive victory over future Hall of Famer, Cecilia Brækhus, undisputed welterweight champion, Jessica McCaskill is looking to fight the biggest names on the female circuit.


McCaskill of Chicago, easily outpointed the legendary Braekhus by scores of 100-89, 99-90 ja 98-91 to win her fifth consecutive and raise her record to 10-2.


I felt my aggression was really good, just keeping the pressure non-stop, and we are ready for what is next. She was running in, and crowded herself, and I figured if she was going to run in, I would have to get at least one or two shots off, and she kept doing it, so I kept doing it as well. I wanted to move and show some more angles, but she kept coming straight in, so she was right there,” said McCaskill.


A fight with Katie Taylor might be the next thing on the agenda. If that is what it is, that would be great. If that does not work out, then there are a couple of other names out there. As for Claressa Shields, McCaskill thinks a fight with her can happen, “That could be a possibility if Claressa could come down to 147 kiloa. Ensin, she said that she would not give up any weight, and now she is saying she would, so we are just going to have to see if they are going to take this seriously.

Said McCaskill’s promoter, Leon Margules Warriors Nyrkkeily, “Jessica proved yet again that she is one of the top fighters in the world. She has now dominated the fighter that has been the long-time pound for top boxer. We would love to fight anyone, and a fight with Katie Taylor would most certainly have a different outcome then their first fight. Fights with Taylor or Claressa would be historic fights as it would match two of the reigning undisputed champions against each other.

Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. Benefited from sparring with undisputed world lightweight champion Katie Taylor

BOSTON (Helmikuu 17, 2021) – Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr.  hasn’t made his pro debut yet, but he did get the opportunity to recently spar with undisputed world lightweight championKatie Taylor (17-0, 6 KOs), the 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ireland, who was a 5-time AIBA world champion as an amateur.

The 28-year-old Anderson, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, was supposed to make his pro debut earlier this year in Mexico. He showed up but his opponent tested positive for COVID-19 and their fight was canceled.

Taylor frequently travels from Ireland to Connecticut, where she prepares for fights with her trainerRoss Enamait.    

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson benefitted from being a southpaw when his trainerMarc Gargaro, was contacted by Enamait about needing a lefthanded sparring partner for Taylor. “I’ve only sparred with her once,” Anderson said, “but I believe I will be getting more work with Katie at her training camp in the near future. I’ve already been asked back for more sparring.

“In the ring, Katie is patient, terävä, and quick with her combinations. She also doesn’t waste any movements all all. She is very tough and aggressive. Outside the ring, she is very nice, always smiling when talking, and a generous, decent human being.”

There’s nothing better for a young boxer than to train and spar with a world-class athlete, even if it’s a female against a male, the experience in invaluable.

I believe getting experience with a world champion helped me build up my confidence. It definitely opened my mind and eyes to trying new things like different movements and combinations, as well as make sure my defense and foot work was on point. Learning to become better at changing the tempo of combinations I was throwing. Also, realizing the things Katie did during and after sparring, understanding her mentality, and letting me know and see what it takes to be the best in the world, will help me grow big-time as a boxer.

“It is a little different sparring a woman but, rehellisesti, it helped me work on my craft in areas I’ve been trying to improve on. I am still available to give and get good, solid work and effort. It’s expanding my mind, I was still able to pick and choose when to dig hard shots to make sure I was still solidly sparring for her, unlike with guys’ majority of punches are thrown hard.

Ortiz’ managerRyan Roach kommentoi: “This is a great opportunity for Troy. Anytime you share the ring with a world champion, even sparring, is a great way to elevate your level of confidence. As many know there are a lot of levels to this sport and these opportunities are crucial in building a fighter. I am really proud of Troy. His debut got pushed back, but he’s stayed in the gym and remains positive waiting for his shot. He has a great coach and team at Nonantum Boxing.”

Sparring Taylor may not have erased the disappointment of Anderson’s pro debut being canceled; kuitenkin, the experience will surely make him a better fighter.

“Sparring a world champion was unbelievable,” Anderson concluded. “Just having the opportunity to step foot in the ring with world champion Katie Taylor was amazing. Literally, leading up to the day of sparring, that’s all I could focus on and think about. I was extremely locked in, because I wanted to give Katie Taylor good work and show her that reaching out to my coach Marc was not a mistake, and his words about me were solid. Seeing how Katie is when moving, throwing combinations, and on defense picking and choosing when to be aggressive and not, is unexplainable. It was truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the experience and opportunity to be able to spar with a world champion, Katie Taylor”

CLARESSA-SHIELDIT, JOTKA KOSKEVAT USA: NEN ROKASTUSALUMNIYHTEISTYÖHALLIEN

Naisten nyrkkeilijöiden tietä…..
Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing on perhe!”
USA Boxing Alumni Association, luokka 2018 inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Joulukuu 3, 2018) – Kaksinkertainen olympialaisten kultamitalisti Claressa Shields ei vain johda uusi aalto naisten nyrkkeilyyn, hänestä on tullut todellinen roolimalli lukemattomille nuorille.

 

 

 

Kilvet johdetaan USA: n Boxing Alumni Associationin kuuluisuussaliin perjantai-iltana Salt Lake Cityssä, yhdessä luokan 2018 jäsenet Roy Jones Jr. ja, Andre Ward, samoin kuin myöhään Emanuel Stewartja Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

Toinen vuosittainen USA-nyrkkeilyalumniyhdistys ry: n kuuluisuuden hallin vastaanotto, pidetään yhdessä 2018 USA: n nyrkkeily eliitin ja nuorten kansalliset mestaruuskilpailut sekä Junior ja Prep Open, Joulukuu 2-8, pidetään joulukuussa 7, Radisson-hotellissa (215 S. Temple St.) kaupungissa Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

“tunnen oloni kunnioitetuksi,” Shields puhui osallistumisestaan ​​Yhdysvaltain Boxing Alumni Association -säätiön halliin,” olen vain 23 Vuotiaita vanhoja ihmisiä ja ilmoittaminen Yhdysvaltain nyrkkeilyhalli-kuuluisuuteen on suuri kunnia, mutta myös shokki minulle. Uskon, että olen kaiken kunnian arvoinen, mutta tiedän, että asiat vievät aikaa, ja ajattelin aina laittavani Hall of Fame iässä 40 tai 50. Tämä on iso juttu minulle ja tunnen olevani niin kunnia. Se, että mainitsen nimeni mainittakoon suuret nimet kuten Andre Ward ja Roy Jones, motivoi minua todella. Tunnen olevansa etuoikeutettu!”

 

 

 

Flintin ylpeys, Michigan, Shields on jo onnistuneesti suostunut amatööri menestyksensä ammattilaisjoukkueisiin, jossa hän on 7-0 (2), ja hallitseva yhtenäinen (IBF, WBA & WBC) maailma keskisarjan mestari.

 

 

 

Shields päätti amatööriuransa uskomatonta 77-1 (18 KOs) ennätys, korosti hänen olympialaisten kultamitaliesitystensä aikana 2012 ja 2016. Hän ei ole hävinnyt kehässä siitä lähtien 2012, kun Savannah Marshall (Englanti) voitti pisteillä, 14-8, Kiinan maailmanmestaruuskisoissa.

 

 

 

“USA-nyrkkeily tuli elämääni kaksinkertaisena olympiavoittajana,” Claressa selitti Yhdysvaltain nyrkkeilysuhteitaan. “USA Boxin apu oli niin tärkeää: vain huomaa minua nuorena urheilijana ja tiedän olevani vahva nuori nainen edustamaan Yhdysvaltoja tulevaisuudessa; kokous Julie Goldsticker, joka oli minulle siunaus, koska hän auttoi minua paljon teini-ikäisenä, ja vain valmentaja Abdullahin kanssa, valmentaja Al Mitchell, ja valmentaja Gloria Peek opettaa minulle erilaisia ​​tyylejä ja kuinka käyttää kaikkia ominaisuuksiani. USA Boxing siunasi minut paljon tietämystä ja elinikäisiä ystävyyssuhteita kaikkien olympiajoukkueideni ja olympiavalmentajien kanssa. Lempivalmentajani, Koroma, oli kirjaimellisesti kanssani läpi 2015-2016, auttaen minua renkaan ulkopuolella neuvoilla ja renkaan sisällä.”

 

 

 

Kilvet ovat yksi naisten nyrkkeilyn voimista tänään, Amerikan naisten nyrkkeilypioneerien, kuten Christy Martin, Laila Ali ja muutama muu.

 

 

 

“Juuri nyt tapahtuu suuri muutos — minua, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon-miehistö, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano ja muutama muu nainen kantaa taskulamppua naisten nyrkkeilyyn juuri nyt,” Shields selitti. “Edistyminen on ollut nopeaa, jokaisessa verkossa on ollut naisten taistelu televisiossa tänä vuonna, etenkin Showtime, johon olen laatinut päätapahtuman neljä kertaa. Naisten nyrkkeily voi mennä pitkälle. Uskon, että tulee päivä, jolloin meille voidaan maksaa miljoonia samoin kuin miehille.”

 

 

 

Avaamalla ovet ja murtaamalla esteet, Claressasta on tullut todellinen esimerkki nuorille kaikkialla, nyrkkeilystä sisään ja ulos.

 

 

 

“Tuntuu hyvältä olla roolimalli heille (naaraat), ja myös niin monelle urosbokserille,” Kilvet huomataan. “Nyrkkeily on eri aikakaudella, ja haluan vain helpottaa tytöille tulemista, joten kun he kääntyvät proksi, nyrkkeily on lähempänä tasa-arvoa.”

 

 

 

“Claressalla on yksi amatööriboksin historian suurimmista tarinoista,” sanoi Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “Hänen ajaa, sitoutuminen, lahjakkuus, ja hahmo teki hänestä USA: n nyrkkeily- ja olympiavoittaja, jättäen perinnön, joka kestää hyvin pitkään. Hän on naisten nyrkkeilyn edelläkävijä ja vakiinnuttanut paikkansa yhtenä kaikkien aikojen vaikutusvaltaisimmista USA Boxing Alumni -jäsenistä.. USA: n nyrkkeilyalumniiliitto haluaa kiittää häntä amatööri-nyrkkeilyyhteisön inspiroimisesta ja siitä, että se on ollut hyvä esimerkki seuraavan sukupolven mestarille.”

 

USA Boxing Alumni Association

Kaikista kunnianosoituksista ja kiitoksista huolimatta, hän on saanut niin rikkaasti vastaan, Shields ei ole unohtanut, mistä kaikki alkoi, ja hän on edelleen aktiivisesti mukana USA: n nyrkkeilyssä.

 

 

 

“Pidän jatkuvasti yhteyttä monien naisurheilijoiden kanssa ja annan heille neuvoja, jos he kysyvät minulta,” Claressa lisäsi. “Kävin myös viidessä päivässä Coloradossa motivoivana ja pääpuhujana seuraavalle olympialaisten toivomukselle. Kun urani on ohi 15 vuotta, Haluan olla nyrkkeilykouluttaja ja johtaa naisten joukkuetta enemmän olympiakultaa, jos sille annetaan mahdollisuus. Haluan myös olla kouluopetaja ja neuvonantaja nuorille.”

 

 

 

Shields, valitettavasti, ei voi osallistua perjantai-iltana Hall of Fame -vastaanottoon, koska hän on syksyllä harjoittelussa nimensä puolustamiseen tänä lauantaina HBO: lla, elävät StubHub-keskuksesta Carsonissa, Kalifornia, vastaan Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Valitettavasti,” Kilvet tehty, “En voi olla siellä, mutta, jos olisin siellä, Sanoisin: Kiitos USA Boxing -yritykselle, että uskot minua vuotiaana 16. Oli kunnia edustaa Amerikkaa, ei vain kerran vaan kaksi kertaa olympialaisissa! Kiitän valmentajaa Kenttäpakki (walsh) että sain minut kaivaa syvälle, joutuessaan käsittelemään hänen irlantilaisia ​​tapojaan ja vitsejään, myös USA: n nyrkkeilykulttuurin muuttamiseksi. Erityinen kiitos valmentaja Kaylle, myös, En voi luottaa käsiini, kuinka monta päivää harjoittelemme 1 aamulla, kuinka monta kertaa koputin hänen huoneen ovelle ja juoksin, kuinka monta kertaa hän on joutunut ottamaan puhelimeni minulta, koska itkin tai minulla oli perheongelma. Hän on valmentaja, jolle voin kertoa kaiken, ja hän siunasi minua myös nyrkkeilystaidollaan ja sai minut aina tuntemaan olonsa turvalliseksi itsessäni, kun hän oli nurkassa. USA Boxing ei ole vain henkilökuntaa – USA Boxing on perhe! Vaikka minulla on ollut muutama sana kanssani Matthew Johnson ja muu henkilöstö, Kiitän heitä siitä, että he ovat olleet ahkera minulle ja varmistivat, että olen hoitanut vastuuni. Rakkaus kaikelle USA: n nyrkkeilyhenkilökunnalle, Olen todella kiitollinen.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields on paljon enemmän kuin maailmanmestari ja olympialainen mestari, hän on myös luokan teko, mitä juuri niin kipeästi tarvitaan tänään.

Selina Barrios vs. Lisa Porter NABF Lightweight Title On The Line



SAN ANTONIO, TX (Joulukuu 18, 2017)The two most avoided female boxersin the country are about to face each other, in what looks to be an all-out war, when undefeated sensation, kevyt Selina “aztec Queen” Lähiöissä, takes on the dangerous “Ihana” Lisa Porter.
On the line will be the NABF lightweight title, as both fighters were granted by the NABF committee to fight for this respected belt. The 10-round bout will take place at the Rapides Parish Coliseum päällä Joulukuu 29, 2017, Alexandria, LA. The only other female pro to fight for a major title this quickly is 2-time gold medalist Clarissa Shields.
When everyone in the lightweight division has refused to fight Barrios or Porter, the two agreed to fight each other. Barrios is a winner of four Ringside World Amateur Titles to go along with her many national championships. Porter was a decorated amateur herself, winning three National PAL championships, US Golden Gloves, and was a US National Silver medalist. Both fighters are coming in with undefeated records.
To put things in perspective, Lähiöissä’ last opponent Jasmiini Clarkson, was world champion Katie Taylor’s sixth opponent, before Taylor fought for the WBA world title. In Porter’s case, she fought to a draw with Katonya Fisher, who defeated Jessica McCaskill, who is just went the distance with Taylor for WBA world title.
I’m very excited to be fighting for the NABF title,” said Selina Barrios. “All I want is an opportunity to win a world title, and winning the NABF belt will get me closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know I’m going to be facing a dangerous opponent in Lisa Porter, but nothing comes easy in boxing. Että on sanottu, I’m willing to fight anyone they put in front of me. I’m confident I can win this fight. I just want to fight the best and prove I’m elite.
I’m glad Selina Barrios and I have come to an agreement to make this fight happen, especially for the NABF title,” stated Lisa Porter. “It’s been tough getting opponents to step in the ring with me, so this is truly a blessing. I’m very grateful to the folks at the NABF for sanctioning this fight. Selina Barrios is going to be a tough test, but one I believe I can pass. The fans are going to see a great fight.
With Selina being the most avoided female fighter in boxing, I had to do my part on getting her ranked by the NABF,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “It’s not going to be an easy road to the top. There’s a lot of good fighters out there with a lot of experience that she’s going to have to fight. That will be the case when Selina steps in the ring with Lisa Porter, who has a plethora of amateur experience. She, also is one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. This will be a battle of two fighters who are putting everything on the line to advance their career to the next level.

Jessica McCaskill Gets Her Wish to Face Katie Taylor: Social Media Challenges Turn to Women’s Super Fight on December 13 Lontoossa

Christmas comes a little early this year for hard-punching Warriors Boxing lightweight Jessica ‘CasKILLAMcCaskill.

All year, she and manager/trainer Rick Ramos have been expressing their wish, via social media, to face Irish gold medalist turned professional world champion Katie Taylor.
Päällä Keskiviikko, Joulukuu 13, they will get their wish, as Chicago-based McCaskill (5-1, 3 KOs) will challenge Taylor (7-0, 4 KOs) for her WBA Lightweight Championship at York Hall in London, Englanti, and live before a massive audience on Sky Sports.
I’m relieved. I’ve been working toward this fight for a long time,” said McCaskill, Rated #2 in the world at 135 lbs and #1 in the United States in women’s boxing. “We have been training for this fight since my last fight because we knew it was coming and we’ve definitely bumped up the intensity.
Before turning professional a year ago, the popular Taylor, from Bray, won lightweight gold at the 2012 London Olympics, as well as an impressive assortment of world and European amateur championships. Known as the Irish athlete of her entire generation, Taylor is regarded as a superstar in the UK because of her aggressive and crowd-pleasing style.
I’ve never watched a full fight of hers,” professed McCaskill. “I’ve seen some highlights. I see mistakes she makes, but it’s not so much what I see in her. It’s what I see in all her opponents. They’ve all been scared of her. I am not. You won’t see any fear in me. Everybody else was terrified to engage her. They just showed up. I’ll be fighting to the last bell.
Much of the credit for landing the fight must go to Ramos, who doggedly pursued Taylor and her promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, on social media.
I felt like offended about comments Katie and Eddie made about how no one wants to fight her,” explained Ramos. “I remember thinking, ‘well, NO ONE called Jessica. We would love to fight Katie!’ That kind of started everything. Eddie Hearn finally did contact me via Instagram and things started getting real. I was happy that my social-media tactic worked!”
McCaskill, who also works full-time in Regulatory and Reporting at R.J. O’Brien & Associates investment bank in Chicago, says she’s not intimidated about stepping into Taylor’s home field for this fight. Itse asiassa, she’s expecting a number of her fans to be there as well.
It’s funny because of my job and my previous investment banking job, I have a lot of contacts and friends over there who are excited to show up for me. My company I work for has a branch that is three miles from the venue. I’ll be expecting a lot of fans there for me as well that night. It would be incredible to headline over there and to break her undefeated record and get my first world title in one night in front of them. En voi odottaa!”

Selina Barrios Spooks Her Opponent, Zarina Tsoloyeva Backs Out of Fight



RAYNE, LA (Marraskuu 2, 2017)Two days after Halloween, unbeaten female sensation, kevyt Selina “aztec Queen” Lähiöissä (2-0, 1 KO), has spooked her opponent, Zarina Tsoloyeva (Pro Debut) from Zhaksy, Kazakstan, as she backed out of their scheduled 4-round bout, set to take place today at The Rayne Civic Center in Louisiana. Tsoloyeva refused to step on the scale at yesterdays weigh-in.
Selina Barrios is one of the most avoided female fighters in the United States and now Kazakhstan. Ebony Jones from Alabama, Alpha Patricia Lopez from Mexico, ja nyt Zarina Tsoloyeva from Kazakhstan, all signed to fight Selina but backed out to fight her at the last minute. Jones and Lopez were no shows, while Tsoloyeva who is from the distant land of Kazakhstan, showed up to the weigh-in, but declined to step on the scale.
I was willing to fight Zarina Tsoloyeva, the decorated amateur from Kazakhstan, but she pulled out at the last minute, like my last two opponents.said Selina Barrios from San Antonio. “It’s been very difficult getting opponents to fight me. Olen aina sanonut, I don’t care who they put in front of me, I’ll fight anyone. I have that much confidence in my skills. I have no choice but to move on, but I’m respectfully sending a message to everyone in the lightweight and super-lightweight divisions, En ole menossa minnekään, eventually you will all have to fight me.
Nothing will derail Selina as she stays positive and continues to work hard, looking for that opportunity to challenge the best the lightweight and super-lightweight divisions has to offer. Selina’s handlers must now move her to six and eight round bouts right away, to chip away and get to a championship fight as she gains more ring experience as a professional.
Looking at all the top lightweights and super-lightweights, I predict Selina will fight for a world championship before her tenth fight,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “Possibly by fight number seven or eight. We’re going to move her into six and eight rounders moving forward. I’m already in talks with the sanctioning bodies to get her ranked.
If no one wants to fight me, then I’m calling out all the name fighters in the division,” Selina Barrios continued. “Amanda Serrano, Mikaela Mayer, Jessica McCaskill and of course, Katie Taylor, I’m willing to fight you guys anytime, missä tahansa. Kuten sanoin, at some point, you will all have to fight me.
