Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Május 12, 2021) — The Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced today the 49 quota places, originally to be awarded at the Road to Tokyo Americas Qualifier, that were awarded to boxers to compete in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 this summer. The quota places included six Team USA boxers, which was based off the BTF Rankings.
“These six boxers have been staples within our program and have established themselves amongst the world’s best by their performances during the past quad,” stated USA Boxing High Performance DirectorMatt Johnson. “Now it is time for them to perform at the world’s biggest stage in Tokyo.”
Representing Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, pending United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee approval, leszRashida Ellis (Lynn, Mass.) Virginia Fuchs(Houston, Texas), Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.), Delante Johnson (Cleveland, Ohio), Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohio) ésRichard Torrez Jr. (Tulare, Kalifornia.). All six boxers will be competing in their first Olympic Games.
2019 Elite Women’s World Championships bronze medalist Ellis will compete in the women’s lightweight (132 lbs./60 kg) osztás. Ellis won bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games to add to her BTF rankings to solidify her position in Tokyo as the second highest ranked America’s boxer and 12th overall in her weight class. Ellis will be looking to win Team USA’s first women’s lightweight Olympic medal.
“Qualifying for the Olympics has been one of my deepest dreams,” mentioned Ellis. “I never doubt my ability. I have stopped being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right. Így, I embrace my mistakes and learn from them, as my mistakes have helped me improve and reach the Olympics. I don’t do easy; I make things happen. The hard work and dedication with effort and determination, I can succeed.”
Fuchs will represent Team USA in the flyweight division (112 lbs./51 kg). The 33-year-old will be looking to earn USA Boxing its second medal in the women’s flyweight division since the introduction of the event in London 2012. Fuchs brings an impressive resume to the ring, including a bronze medal at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and silver medal from the 2019 Pan American Games, which places her as the second highest America’s flyweight boxer and 16th overall in the BTF rankings.
“I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I am so excited I can finally call myself an Olympian,” stated Fuchs. “With all this world has been through and having to postpone the Olympics a whole year, I am proud to say I am one of the participants in what will be known as the most recognized Olympics in history. I am ready to represent my country in the most respected way and bring home the gold!"
2019 Pan American Games Graham is the highest seeded America’s female middleweight (165 lbs./75 kg) boxer in the BTF rankings, where she currently sits eighth overall. Graham earned points from her Pan American Games title, as well as her third-place finish at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and top five finish at the 2019 edition. Graham, who will become USA Boxing’s first active female military member to compete in an Olympic Games, will be in contention to grab Team USA’s third straight Olympic gold medal in the women’s middleweight division.
“It feels unreal that I am going to the Olympics,” Graham stated when talking about earning her place to Tokyo. “I continue to surprise myself by finding my own limits, and then having the courage to blow past them.”
Joneswill step into the ring in one of the two newly added women’s weight classes, A váltósúlyú (152 lbs./69 kg) osztás. Jones, who made history in 2019 with her gold medal performance at the Pan American Games, will look to continue making history by becoming the first Olympic gold medalists in her weight division. The 23-year-old added valuable points to her rankings with her top five placement at the 2019 Elite Women’s World Championships to finish as the top America’s boxer and seventh in the overall BTF rankings for the welterweight division to punch her ticket to the Olympics.
“I may only take up one spot, but my one spot represents so much,” shared Jones. “I’m beyond grateful for the chance to represent women, African Americans, my small city of Toledo, de ami a legfontosabb, my country.”
The second Ohioan to represent Team USA, Johnson, extends the streak of Cleveland-native boxing Olympians to four, following in the footsteps of Charles Conwell (2016), Terrell Gausha (2012) and Raynell Williams (2008). The welterweight (152 lbs./69 kg), who first caught the attention of the boxing world with his gold medal performance at the 2016 Youth World Championships, earned his ranking points through his bronze medal finish at the 2019 Pan American Games and top 16 placement at the 2019 Elite World Championships. Johnson was the third highest seeded America’s boxer and 19th overall.
“My struggles are my stripes, and I wear them on my back, so that the people around me can see that even when you’re living in a jungle, you can still chase your dreams,” stated Johnson. “I am not only doing this for my city, but for my two coaches, Dante Benjamin Sr. and Clint Martin, whom I lost during my journey to these Games.”
Torrez, the highest ranked super heavyweight (201+ lbs./91+ kg) boxer from the Americas and 11th teljes, earned his place through his third-place performance at the 2019 Pan American Games and top five standing at that year’s Elite Men’s World Championships. Torrez, a former Youth World Championships bronze medalist, will be the first American boxer to compete in this weight class since 2012.
“Everyone is happy they’re going to the Olympics, it’s everyone’s dream, but I need to be there,” said Torrez. “The fire that was instilled in me before I could even walk, that drives me to be the best, the fire that has been in my family for generations, has overflowed. It has set ablaze all my second options, and it has made ashes of any other possibility besides that of success.”
Team USA will be guided by USA Boxing National Head Coach Billy Walsh during these Olympic Games.
“It is fantastic news for our six boxers who have worked endlessly for the past five years to become an Olympian,” Walsh shared. “We now focus on the next stage of the process, to become an Olympic Champion.”

Top USA amateur boxers adjusting to life without fights & waiting another year for Olympics show
A remarkable boxing journey like no other 1972 Olimpiai aranyérmes “Cukor” Ray Seales
Darius Fulghum, a houstoni nehézsúlyú ökölvívó visszatartja az ápolói karriert az olimpiai álom megvalósítása érdekében
Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Február 26, 2020) - Az amatőr ökölvívók gyakran különböző utakat választanak személyes útjaikon és Houston nehézsúlybanDarius Fulghum karrierjét a ringen kívülre tette, hogy bokszálmait megvalósítsa.
Fulghum a középiskolában volt birkózó még Killeen-ben, Texas. Bokszolni kezdett 2015 és gyorsan kialakult rajongása az „Édes tudomány,”Nagyrészt azért, mert egyszemélyes sport. Nem kellett támaszkodnia a csapattársakra, inkább saját akaratából nyer vagy veszít. Bár elég tehetséges volt ahhoz, hogy kollégista birkózó legyen, túl nagy anyagi megterhelést okozott volna a családjának.
„Ez a verseny viszketésem volt, és nagyon jó voltam, amikor először elkezdtem bokszolni,- mondta Dariuis. - Tudtam, hogy bármit megtehetek, amire csak rá gondoltam. Újra szeretném definiálni a bokszot. Nem vagyok egy tipikus ökölvívó, aki az utcán nőtt fel. Nem is szeretek verekedni; Passzív vagyok, és soha nem folytattam utcai harcot. ”
A 23 éves Fulghum jelenleg határozott célja, hogy képviselje országát a 2020-as olimpiai játékok Tokióban. A profi boksz következik, de, most, keményen edz, hogy kvalifikálja magát az olimpián való részvételhez azáltal, hogy az amerikai kvalifikációs torna első három helyezettje közé kerül, Március 26-április 3, Buenos Airesben, Argentína. Lesz még egy „Utolsó esély” lehetőség is, ha szükséges, a világselejtezőn, Május 13-14, Párizsban, ahol az ottani három legjobb is kvalifikálja magát az olimpiára.
„Olyan nehéz nem állandóan az olimpiára gondolni,- vallja be. „Igyekszem nem túl sokat gondolkodni rajta, de az jár a fejemben, mert olimpikonról álmodoztam, és most olyan közel vagyok. Meghoztam az áldozatokat, hogy olimpikon legyek, majd életem végéig olimpikon leszek.
„Hallgatom az edzőimet. A pillanat hevében, amikor a dolgok a leginkább stresszesek, Úgy érzem, hogy a hátrányos helyzetű vagyok, és az abszolút pillanatig teljesítek. Tett-halott volt az olimpiai tárgyalásokon. Csak nem vagyok hajlandó veszíteni.
Fulgham minden bizonnyal pozitívan reagált a kísérletek nyomására, felkavaró a próbák előtti kedvencAdrian Tillman a nyitó fordulóban, majd átgurult az ellenfeleken, amíg be nem szerezte a címet.
„Az emberek nem ismertek engem,- magyarázta Fulgham. „Az esélytelen voltam, mert sok versenyen nem vettem részt, mert bent voltam (gondozás) iskola. A döntőm mindig decemberben volt (az USA állampolgáraival egyidőben). Szünetem volt a menetrendemben 2018, amikor aranyérmet nyertem az Országos Aranykesztyű Versenyen. Csak így alakult a menetrendem. Így, Nem sok tornán harcoltam, de akkor tudtam besurranni, amikor a legfontosabb volt. ”
Fulghum nemrégiben első nemzetközi tornáján vett részt a rangos bulgáriai Strandja tornán, megnyerte a két mérkőzés egyikét. A tapasztalat, bár, felbecsülhetetlen volt, esetleg karrierváltás az olimpiára való felkészülés szempontjából.
„Nem csak ez volt az első nemzetközi tornám,- jegyezte meg, „Először bokszoltam fejfedő nélkül (mint az olimpián), és idegen stílusú srácokkal küzdöttem, különböző stílusokkal. Nagy élmény volt, mert most nem vakulok be az olimpiai selejtezőbe. ”
Az USA bokszolimpiai kvalifikációs csapatának tagjai, mint Fulghum, szünetben vannak, mielőtt csapattársaival együtt visszatérnek az edzésre a Colorado Springs-i Egyesült Államok Olimpiai és Paralimpiai Képzési Központjába.
„Január 2-án jelentettem ott először, és imádom,”Fulghum megjegyezte. „Minden sportoló arról álmodozik, hogy olyan élsportolókkal készüljön edzésre, ahol nincsenek zavaró tényezők és vezető edzők. felkelek, eszik, alvás, vonat és másnap csináld meg újra. Ez az én menetrendem. ”
Fulghum ápolói diplomáját tavaly májusban szerezte meg, de most és a közeljövőben teljes mértékben az ökölvívásra koncentrál.
„Elsőként az oktatást helyeztem el, és megszereztem a diplomámat,- fejezte be Fulgham. „A bokszolás után mindig lesz ápolónőm. De arról álmodoztam, hogy az iskolán keresztül végigmegyek az olimpiára. Felfüggesztettem az ökölvívást, és most oldalra tettem az ápolást, hogy mindent beleadhassak a bokszba. Nem akartam az ápolással és az ökölvívással zsonglőrködni. Így sem tudnék a legjobb lenni.
„Azt tervezem, hogy profivá válok, mert annyira szeretek bokszolni. Bokszolni kell, amikor fiatal vagyok. Minél messzebbre megyek a bokszban, és mindig ápolni fogok. "
Darius Fulgham körkörös utat járt be az életben az ápolástól az ökölvívásig. Megéri, bár, ha Tokióba kerül a Team USA részeként a 2020 Olimpia.

Atif Oberlton representing City of Brotherly Love all the way to the World Championships
Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Augusztus 22, 2019) – There’s a new rising force on the international boxing scene and his name is Atif Oberlton, a light heavyweight from Philadelphia, who is on a mission to make a name for himself in boxing.
Oberlton will be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships, Szeptember 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, Oroszország.
Lacking confidence is not an issue for the 21-year-old boxer who claims, “It’s very important for me to do well and win at the Worlds, because I know for a fact that, in my heart, I’m the best fighter in the world. Also, I’m new on the international scene, so it’s time for me to give a piece of what they’ve been missing.”
Oberlton started boxing at the age of nine, although he didn’t start competing until he was 14, because he was the only boy in his family, and his father wanted him to learn how to defend himself. Like so many of his teammates, he fell in love with boxing.
In the last five years, Oberlton has captured gold medals at the 2018 és 2016 Nemzeti Golden Gloves Verseny, 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier and 2014 National Junior Olympics. He also was a victor in the USA vs. Netherlands Dual.
“My greatest accomplishment so far is making Team USA and being where I’m at, because for years and years I was denied, and here I am today in the top spot where I belong. I’m a top-spot fighter, so I deserve it, and I put down top-notch work, too”
Overlton has taken advantage of training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, where he has shown improvement from day one, honing his skills to become a complete boxer.
“Conditioning plays a big part in my improvement; also seeing different styles, and getting top work has elevated me,” he spoke about training as a Team USA member. “I always break new barriers on the road to greatness and this (The Worlds) is another one I’m looking to smash through.”
In addition to representing his country, Oberlton is a proud Philly fighter continuing the long, rich boxing tradition in the City of Brotherly Love, which has produced the likes ofBernard Hopkins, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Mike Rossman,James Shuler, Eugene Hart and so many more great fighters over the years.
“My city is known for its great boxing history and I wear ‘The City of Philadelphia’ on my back,” Oberlton added. “In a few more years down the line, I see myself leading the next wave of Philly boxers. In fact, I feel like I am the wave, most, as we speak. Everyone’s watching me. I will do them all proud, from both the old and young generations.
“I haven’t been to Russia and I’m looking forward to going there. It’s always good to see the world. I always like to go back where I’m from and try to convince others to see the world, because it’s much bigger than our neighborhood.”
Oberlton is like a chameleon in the ring, constantly changing and adjusting to his opponent. “I consider my style like water,” he concluded. “It’s wavy because I adjust to win, and I can beat any style. I can outsmart anybody, fighting mind over matter. Boxing is 80-percent mental, 20-percent physical, and I have it all.
“My short-term goal is to win gold at The Worlds and everything else leading to the Olympics. And winning no less than gold at the Olympics. My long-term goal is to be the greatest fighter to ever walk the universe.”
Confidence is definitely not a problem for Atif Oberlton.
