Laat een reactie achter
COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Mei 29, 2019) – Boxers vechten voor een verscheidenheid van redenen. Team USA bantamgewicht Duke Ragan in de sportschool en ring wordt gedreven door zijn twee jaar oude dochter, Kennedy Ragan.


De 21-jarige Ragan treinen met zijn collega elite squad leden in Colorado Springs, Colorado, dat is een lange weg van zijn huis en dochter in Cincinnati.

“Het is moeilijk om uit de buurt van haar,” Ragan toegelaten, “maar ze motiveert me. Ik ben boksen voor onze toekomst.”

toekomst Ragan's in het boksen is helder. Hij is de No. 1 bantamgewicht in de Verenigde Staten, die van plan is om cash-out na de 2020 Olympische Spelen in Japan.

Hoewel hij zijn eerste amateur-wedstrijd had toen hij zeven was, Ragan was praktisch geboren vak, blijkt uit foto's van hem als een baby het dragen van de baby bokshandschoenen. Zijn vader en coach, Derek “Hertog” Vodeen, die zijn zoon genaamd met zijn eigen bijnaam, had veel vrienden die boksers waren. Wanneer Duke's oudere broer van zes jaar, Lewis Walker, opgeleid aan hun oom Sean Singleton‘S gym, jonge Duke werd opgeleid in het huis van zijn vader.

“Ik speelde andere sporten toen ik jong was, maar ik heb niet op de middelbare school,” Ragan zei. “Mijn vader begonnen met de opleiding mij toen ik zes jaar oud was en een jaar later, Ik was in de sportschool training en sparring. Ik wilde niet aan een ander dan het boksen sporten.”

Ragan heeft een 151-19 amateur-record, gemarkeerd door zijn zilveren medaille prestaties op de 2017 Wereldkampioenschappen. Hij veroverde goud op de 2016 & 2018 Elite Nationale Kampioenschappen, kwalificeren hem voor de 2020 Olympische Trials voor Boksen, alsook op het 2016 Nationale Golden Gloves Kampioenschappen.


In aanvulling op het winnen van een zilveren medaille op de 2017 Wereldkampioenschappen, Ragan is succesvol in andere internationale concurrentie geweest, het nemen van de hoogste eer aan de 2017 chemie Cup, runner-up op de 2018 Presidents Cup, en derde plaats eindigt in de 2017 Continentale Kampioenschappen en 2019 Pan American Qualifier in Nicaragua. In het laatste toernooi, Ragan verloren in de halve finale om Ecuadoriaanse Jean Caicedo, 3-2, te kwalificeren voor de Pan-Amerikaanse Spelen, Juli 27 in Lima, Peru.

Ragan kijkt uit naar wreken zijn controversiële verlies voor Caicedo op de Pan-Amerikaanse Spelen. “Ik de No was. 1 zaad op de Pan American Qualifier, en ik denk dat ik de No zijn. 1 zaad op de Pan American Games,” Ragan commentaar. “Ik denk dat ik een slechte beslissing in de halve finales. Er zullen een aantal goede concurrentie op de Pan American Games zijn, maar niemand om me zorgen over te maken.”

Zelf beschreven als een pure bokser die geniet van bewegen rond de ring snapping jabs, Ragan heeft ook voldoende vermogen om tegenstanders te laten inslapen. Hij wil een deel van de rijke geschiedenis van het boksen Cincinnati geworden, waarbij alle tijden grootheden zoals geproduceerd Aaron Pryor,Ezzard Charles, Adrian Broner, Rau'shee Warren en Tim Austin, onder andere.

“Pryor en Charles boxed in dezelfde gemeenschap waar ik ben opgegroeid,” Ragan opgemerkt. “Ik heb echt nog niks gedaan, maar het zou wel gaaf om wereldkampioen zoals zij zijn.”

USA Boxing heeft een belangrijke rol gespeeld in het jonge leven Ragan en, als hij krijgt zijn wens, het zal blijven voor minstens een jaar of zo. “Mijn belangrijkste focus is 2020, Ik zal zorgen te maken over het inschakelen pro na dat,” hij merkte. “Amateur boksen heeft mij een lange weg. Ik ben meer gedisciplineerd, beter gerichte, en een veel slimmer bokser. Ik heb een hogere boksen IQ. Ik heb ook leren om offers te brengen, want ik heb een man om tijd te maken voor mijn jonge dochter. Dit alles om me klaar om een ​​professionele.

Ragan heeft de wereld rondgereisd als een Team USA bokser naar Duitsland en Kazachstan te zijn geweest (twee keer per stuk), Polen, Bulgarije en Nicaragua. Tenslotte, Duke Ragan wil blijven vertegenwoordigen zijn land en reist over de hele wereld, hopelijk, boeken van een reis naar Tokio volgend jaar.
