In his relatively brief, but extremely successful run in the amateurs, Mireles compiled a record of 28-4 с 10 нокаута – culminating in winning the 2020 USA Olympic Trials in the Super Heavyweight division. He was also a 2019 Национален шампион за златни ръкавици, а 2019 Eastern Elite Amateur Champion and a five-time Iowa Golden Gloves Champion.

Mireles has already impressed new coach Robert Garcia in his transition to the pro ranks, with Garcia noting his new fighters dedication, boxing skills, и “great power” as reasons for a successful future together.

With the postponement of the Games, many U.S. sports and their athletes are facing extraordinary financial hardship and decision making, especially with the cancellation of most, or all, of their domestic competitions.

“While I have to wait another year to achieve my Olympic dreams, Giving Games is a great opportunity to inspire America to support USA Boxing and all United States athletes,” said USA Boxing Heavyweight Olympic Qualification Team Member and Giving Games AmbassadorДарий Фулхум. “Donations will not only help myself and my 2021 teammates but will help the next generation of Olympic Champions.”

“This year has been extremely difficult for all, and our hope is to not only help support our 2021 Олимпийци, but help raise funds for our 1,700+ gyms that have been impacted by COVID-19 and impact the lives of so many youth that are our future Olympians,” statedМайк Мактейти, Изпълнителен директор по бокс на САЩ.

All funds raised will either be a direct donation to a specific sport of the donor’s choice or general support for all sports which will be equally divided among the participating NGBs. Fans and supporters can contribute to Giving Games in the following ways:

  • Take the Giving Games quiz to find the sport that best matches you and donate,
  • Enter to win one of 10 amazing sweepstakes packages from Omaze,
  • Help set the world record for most donations made in 24 часа, или
  • Compete in the Medal of Giving by donating directly to a sport. At the conclusion of Giving Games, each sport will award a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal to the top three donors.

     

    Donations to USA Boxing can be giving online byclicking here.

     

    Giving Games will actively raise funds for athletes and their sports organizations during the original window of the Tokyo 2020 Games: Юли 24 – Август 9. In addition to participating in the activations listed above, fans and supporters can also text ‘GIVINGGAMES’ to 243725 or make a donation online. Details can be found atgivinggames2020.com. 

     

    Though recognized and supported by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, the National Governing Bodies are separate organizations. The Giving Games initiative is not associated with or endorsed by the USOPC or the USOPF, and funds raised through the Giving Games initiative are used to directly aid the National Governing Bodies and the athletes they support.

From East LA to Team USA Flyweight boxer Anthony Herrera is living the dream

Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Февруари 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightАнтъни Ерера, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.

“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”

За сега, въпреки че, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Аржентина.

Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Май 13-14, в Париж, France.

“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”

A 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.

“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” he noted. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.

“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.

“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”

Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, живее мечтата.

“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”

Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, включително и, for example, the footwork and head movement ofЖулио Сезар Чавес Sr., иМайк Тайсън’s set-ups from the body to head.

Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

Bantamweight/125 lbs./57 kg

After falling short on his Olympic-qualification run in 2016,Duke Раган (Синсинати, Ohio) has been one of Team USA’s most successful boxers leading into the tournament, winning multiple international medals including a silver at the 2017 Elite World Championships and 2019 Панамериканските игри.

Lightweight/138 lbs./63 kg

Another boxer making the transition to elite this year, Daniel Garcia(Westminster, Colo.), secured the final spot after a strong performance in Oxnard, including a close matchup against Mercado in the finals.

Обаче, both boxers will have to get through six talented boxers that will be hungry to end their finals runs.Kahshad Elliot(Plainfield, Ню Джърси), Джоузеф Хикс (Гранд Рапидс, Mich.) иAntonio Garcia (Anaheim, Калифорния.) were crowned champions at the three qualifiers, and will look to continue their winning ways in Louisiana.Alexis Chaparro (Ню Йорк, N.Y.), Francis Hogan (Уеймут, Mass.) иAlex Chisholm (Hialeah Gardens, Fla.) showed why they should not be underestimated with their qualifying performances and will be tough to get through in this bracket.

USA BOXING HEAVYWEIGHT ADRIAN TILLMAN IN U.S. ARMY

Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Септември 3, 2019) – No. 2 rated American heavyweight Adrian Tillman, who is also ranked No. 5 as a light heavyweight, is not only representing his country as a member of USA Boxing’s 2019 Men’s Elite team, he’s also serving in the U.S. Army at the same time.

Tillman, 24, is able to do both, because he’s an active soldier enrolled in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), в които квалифицирани състезатели имат възможност да се обучават в края на мача за Олимпийските игри.

“As of right now,” Tillman said, “my focus is on the Olympics. I love the military and I love boxing. So, I’ll just see where life takes me. But, as of now, 2020 Токио, Япония, is the one thing on my mind.

“Training (в Колорадо Спрингс) with the Elite team has definitely elevated my game all around. The coaches and trainers are always teaching me. It’s a non-stop learning environment with the team.”

Born in Riverside, Калифорния, Tillman started boxing in 2008, because he wanted to lose weight and learn how to defend himself and his siblings as he was about to enter high school.

The heavyweight with a stiff jab is a three-time National PAL champion (2018, 2017 и 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, обаче, may be a little surprising, because it isn’t about winning medals, trophies and belts.

“My greatest accomplishment was being able to qualifying two weight classes (lightweight and heavyweight) for the Olympic Trials.”

Tillman has traveled throughout South America and Europe. He is with his Team USA teammates training in England before going straight to Yekaterinburg, Русия, to compete in the 2019 Elite Men’s World Championships, Септември 7-21.

“Gaining a medal at the World Championships is important to me because,” he noted, “not only am I representing my country, I’m also representing the Army and my family.”

When he’s in the ring, Tillman adjusts to his opponent, brawling or boxing equally, whatever it takes to win.

Adrian Tillman is a true patriot who also happens to wear boxing gloves. Whether he qualifies as a heavyweight or light heavyweight, all that matters to him is boxing for Team USA at the 2020 Олимпиада.

Atif Oberlton representing City of Brotherly Love all the way to the World Championships

Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Август 22, 2019) – There’s a new rising force on the international boxing scene and his name is Атиф Оберлтън, 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, Септември 7-21, в Екатеринбург, Русия.

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 и 2016 Националните Златни ръкавици Tournament, 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 ofБърнард Хопкинс, Матю Саад Мохамед, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Майк 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, в момента, 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.

Раган има 151-19 любителски запис, подчертана от изпълнение сребърен медал си на 2017 Световно първенство. Той заловен злато в 2016 & 2018 Elite Национално първенство, го квалификациите за 2020 Олимпийските Опити за Бокс, както и в 2016 Националните Златни ръкавици първенства.

САЩ Бокс е изиграла важна роля в младия живот Раган и, ако той получава желанието му, тя ще продължи да бъде най-малко още една година или така. “Основната ми цел е 2020, Ще се тревожи за да станат професионалисти след това,” той отбеляза,. “Любителски бокса ме доведе дълъг път. Аз съм по-дисциплинирани, по-добре фокусирани, и много по-умен боксьор. Имам по-висок бокс IQ. Също така трябваше да се науча да правя жертви, защото трябва да бъда мъж, за да отделя време за малката си дъщеря. Всичко това ме подготвя да бъда професионалист.

Раган е обиколил света като боксьор на отбор от САЩ, като е бил в Германия и Казахстан (два пъти на брой), Полша, България и Никарагуа. В края на краищата, Херцог Рейгън иска да продължи да представлява страната си и да пътува по целия свят, да се надяваме, резервиране на пътуване до Токио догодина.

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Май 20, 2019) – Отборът на САЩ лек Keyshawn Дейвис се подготвя през целия си млад живот да представя страната си на Олимпийските игри. Ако всичко върви по план и остане по график, Норфолкът, Роденият във Вирджиния ще се боксира за злато догодина в Япония.


20-годишният Дейвис, който спортове 110-15 любителски запис, е претакане медала на такава пламенна темпо, което той отчаяно се нуждае, за да разширите своя дисплей случай. Той е двукратен Elite Национален (2017-18) и два пъти Националната PAL (2013-14) шампион, както и златен медалист в 2017 Източна Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open и 2017 Националните Златни ръкавици.

В международен план, той е направил някои сериозни щети, твърде. Гвоздеят на аматьорски си кариера, към днешна дата, печели злато в миналогодишния турнир Странджа в България. Дейвис наскоро заловен сребро в 2019 Панамериканските игри Qualifier в Никарагуа, в допълнение към 2018 Химия първенство в Германия.

“Аз спечелих първата си международен златен медал в България,” Дейвис се съгласи с това е връхната точка на любител си кариера. “Аз също е избран за най-забележителните боксьора.”

Неговата победа на 2018 САЩ Гражданите го класира за 2020 Олимпийските Опити за Бокс, докато среброто си на Панамериканските игри Qualifier го класира за Панамериканските игри (27 Юли август 2) в Лима, Перу. Тази година той ще се състезава в елитните мъжко Световното първенство (Седем. 7-21) в Екатеринбург, Русия.

“Квалификацията за Олимпийските изпитания наистина не е много голямо постижение за мен, тъй като се е очаквало,” Дейвис е отбелязано. “За мен това беше да се кача на Team USA, отново и това е втората ми година в екипа.

“Няма никаква реална конкуренция за мен да се класира за олимпийския отбор на САЩ Бокс. Последната ми битка в гражданите е малко предизвикателство (срещу. ДАЛИС имоти), защото аз се подхлъзна и стана.”

На Панамериканските игри, Дейвис много добре може да се изправи пред кубински боксьор, който го победи с резултат 3-2 в Панамериканските игри Qualifier, Анди Круз, създаване на възможно каучук мач между двата елитни боксьори през следващата година на олимпийските игри.

“Има един много добър шанс, че ще се бори отново на Pan Am-игри, Най-вероятно в Япония, и,” Дейвис добавен. “Ние трябва да спечелим два кръга, за да се класират за финалите и за мен, за да ми отмъсти. Круз има още много Международният опит от мен. Той е 26 години и световен шампион в нашия клас тегло.”

Дейвис започна бокса, когато той е на девет години, когато, уморени от Keyshawn и двамата си братя борба помежду си и в училище, майка му попита дали те искаха да ходя на фитнес, за да научите как да се боксира. Те направиха и днес, по-големия си (Келвин) и по-млади (Keon) братя също са аматьорски боксьори.

Не след дълго той се срещна Троя Айли, който е член на колегите Team USA, и днес те са най-близо братя.

“Срещнах Троя обратния път, след като за първи път започна по бокс,” Дейвис спомни. “Бихме се срещнат в гражданите и други турнири и да се мотае, заедно с братята ми. Треньорът ми оставка, така че отидох до фитнес Троя (Александрия, VA) и започнах да работя с треньор Кей (Koroma, САЩ помощник Националната Бокс Coach). Получаваме близо до нашата мечта (представляващи САЩ в олимпийските игри) който започна толкова отдавна, че изглежда нереално да се доближава. Можете да очаквате двама боксьори от Вирджиния да се върне от Япония с златни медала. Ние сме като братя.”

“Треньор Кей първо ме притиснат в ъгъла, когато бях 13. Той е страхотен треньор, който иска да успее в живота, не само на ринга. Той иска най-доброто за нас. Ние имаме една от най-добрите си към САЩ. боксови отбори в дълъг период от време и това ще се покаже в Япония. Ние винаги си помагат един на друг, и това е един много вълнуващ момент за нас в момента.”

Друг близък приятел на Keyshawn е, 2018 Олимпийски сребърен медалист Шакур Стивънсън, който е бил през това, което се приближава Keyshawn, и в момента е на ниво като професионален перспектива, в която се стреми да достигне Дейвис.

“Шакур, който ме е подкрепена,” Дейвис продължава. “Ние говорим много. Честно, това е трудно за мен да не си помисля да станат професионалисти, защото аматьорски си кариера ще бъде над след Олимпиадата. Аз винаги съм бил научил да има план, така че аз се подготвяхме, бизнес-мъдър, търси в моите възможности (мениджър и промоутър), и да остане на прав път от аматьорите до професионалисти.”

Ако той не беше боксьор, Дейвис цифри щеше да недвижимост, но той старателно се наслаждавате на живота като боксьор.

“Това е страхотно преживяване,” Дейвис говори за аматьорски бокс му кариера, “особено тази година се готви за Пан AMS. Аз съм имал възможност да пътуват и да отговарят на хората, но най-хубавото е да си част от отбор като този. Бокс е индивидуален спорт, но, извън ринга, ние сме винаги сериозен натиск един за друг.

“Благодаря на Бог всеки ден, когато ставам за мен поставянето на тази позиция. Всичко, което искате да направите, е осигуряване на мен и семейството ми. На моята възраст, Аз съм на прага на играта.”
