“Our family believes our father would accept this award graciously as a very high honor,” daughterMegan McCain said on behalf of the McCain family. “The courage, character and action needed to step into the ring is something he felt very strongly about.

DiritaChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. Throughout his career in politics, USA Boxing communicated with his office numerous times as part of a collaborative effort to safeguard the future of Olympic style, Amatora bokso, and Senator McCain never hesitated to offer to do more for our athletes.

Simply The Best! Mark Breland
klaso de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Decembro 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Mark Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Decembro 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano.
The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Usono. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Naciaj #?ampioneco, Dec. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kazino. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.
The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George ForemanKaj “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell KajRay Rodgers.
Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.
“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withEvander (Holyfield) (Muhammad) Ali, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”
Breland, Ironie, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, wow! I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.
“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”
Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 Rekordo, Inkluzivanta 19 #Knoka?to, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Germanio, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.
At the 1984 Olimpikaj Ludoj, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,
along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman KajTyrell Biggs.
Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 KOs) Rekordo, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.
“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”
“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 KOs) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.
The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, great 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Deontay Pli #Sova?a, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.
“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

Closing cuts & controlling blood flow leads 83-year-old Ray Rodgers into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame
“Smokin’”Joe Frazier punched way into USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame
klaso de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, La lasta, great“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Vendredo nokte, Decembro 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano.
The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Olympic Trials and 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.
The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George ForemanKajMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches, Al Mitchell KajRay Rodgers.
Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.
“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier Dirita, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.
“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMahometo Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”
Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, compiling a 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.
When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.
Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. In the opening round, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (#A?stralio) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusio) en la ĉirkaŭvojo duonfinalo, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.
Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, #Kontra?Hans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.
“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”
Frazier (32-4-1, 27 KOs) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMahometo Ali, Jimmy Ellis (Dufoje), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(Dufoje), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen KajGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.
Listed at only 5-11 ?, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.
“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13Th.?
