“I am a boxer, I like to keep my opponents at bay and use my range. I am out in Oxnard training with Robert Garcia and hopefully will make my debut in September.”

“I am as excited about signing Antonio as anyone I’ve ever signed,” said David McWater of Split-T Management. “I think he has the ability to be heavyweight champion of the world some day and the opportunity to be a tremendous star.”

In his relatively brief, but extremely successful run in the amateurs, Mireles compiled a record of 28-4 સાથે 10 knockouts – culminating in winning the 2020 USA Olympic Trials in the Super Heavyweight division. He was also a 2019 National Golden Gloves Champion, એક 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, અને “great power” as reasons for a successful future together.

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:

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

એક ટિપ્પણી મૂકો

COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (ફેબ્રુઆરી 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, 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.”

હવે માટે, છતાં, 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, અર્જેન્ટીના.

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, મે 13-14, પોરિસ માં, 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.”

એ 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 યુ.એસ.. 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.”

હેરારા, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.

“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, સહિત, દાખ્લા તરીકે, the footwork and head movement ofજુલીઓ સેસર ચાવેઝ Sr., અનેમાઇક ટાયસન’s set-ups from the body to head.

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

Men’s Field for 2020 યુ.એસ.. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing Set

એક ટિપ્પણી મૂકો

COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (નવેમ્બર 26, 2019) – Sixty-four of the nation’s top male amateur boxers will compete at the upcoming 2020 યુ.એસ.. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing in Lake Charles, Louisiana, ડિસેમ્બર 9-16.

કુલ 479 boxers competed in the four qualifying tournaments with hopes of advancing to Lake Charles. The top two boxers in each weight division will advance to the next stage of the selection procedures this January in Colorado Springs and compete for a chance to represent Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Here is a closer look at the boxers stepping into the ring in the eight men’s weight divisions.

Flyweight/114 lbs./52 kg

The flyweight division will feature multiple exciting matchups, as all eight boxers will be looking to represent Team USA next year and follow in 2016 Olympic bronze medalists Nico Hernandez’ footsteps. 2019 World Championships team member and 2018 Elite National Championમાઇકલ Angeletti (વસંત, ટેક્સાસ) has hopes of using his great deal of international experience he gained this year to lead the pack, while two-time flyweight national champion (’16 and ’17) ફર્નાન્ડો માર્ટીનેઝ (ફોનિક્સ, એરિઝોના.) will want to return to the top of the podium. 2018 Elite National Championships runner-upAbraham Perez (આલ્બુક્યુર્કી, N.M) has hopes of redemption to take the title. YoungsterRay Ray Robinson(સિનસિનાટી, ઓહિયો) punched his ticket to Lake Charles by winning the Eastern Elite Qualifier in his home state and his elite debut, અનેJose Nieves (Avenel, એન.જે.) grabbed the title at the Last Chance Qualifier in Oxnard over an impressive field.Roscoe Hill is the second boxer from Spring, Texas to qualify in this division following his silver medal-effort at the Western Elite Qualifier in Reno. Los Angeles duoAnthony Herrera અનેAnthony Olascuaga round out the field. Herrera was victorious in Reno and Olascuaga finished second in Oxnard.

Bantamweight/125 lbs./57 kg

After falling short on his Olympic-qualification run in 2016,ડ્યુક Ragan (સિનસિનાટી, ઓહિયો) 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 પાન અમેરિકન ગેમ્સ. જો કે, a mix of youth and veterans will make this division one to watch.David Navarro (લોસ એન્જલસ, કેલિફ.) finished third at the 2018 એલિટ નેશનલ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ્સ, but punched his ticket following Raymond Ford’s move to the professional ranks.Japhethlee Llamido(Norwalk, કેલિફ.) અનેRashiem Jefferson (ફિલાડેલ્ફિયા, Pa.) had impressive runs at the Western and Eastern Qualifiers to earn the championship at those events, જ્યારેJonathan Mansour (La Mesa, કેલિફ.) defeated an impressive field in Oxnard, કેલિફ. to head to Lake Charles with momentum on his side.બ્રુસ કેરિંગટન (બ્રુકલીન, એન.વાય), a competitor in the 2016 યુ.એસ.. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, અનેકેવિન મોન્ટાનો(Concord, કેલિફ.), have a great deal of experience on the national and international stage to make things interesting, જ્યારેXavian Ramirez (વાંચન, Pa.) qualified for the trials after just recently moving up to the elite division.

Lightweight/138 lbs./63 kg

Arguably the deepest male division at the trials, the competition for the top two spots will be one of the toughest and most exciting of the week. 2019 Pan American Games and World Championships silver medalistKeyshawn ડેવિસ(નોર્ફોક, વા.) has dominated on the national stage the previous two years, and will hope to continue his run, but will have stiff competition from the other seven boxers in this bracket. 2018 USA Boxing Elite National Championships silver medalistsDalis Kaleiopu(Waianae, હવાઈ) will be looking for redemption after his close bout in the finals last year against Davis. 2015 Junior World Championships silver medalistsHarley Mederos (ન્યૂ યોર્ક, એન.વાય) hopes to repeat his impressive performance from the 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier, જ્યારે 2019 Western Elite Qualifier Championચાર્લી શીહી (બ્રિસ્બેન, કેલિફ.) looks to return to the USA Boxing High Performance squad after being a member in 2018. 2019 Last Chance Qualifier ChampionErnesto Mercado (POMONA, કેલિફ.) made the transition to the elite division easily after dominating throughout this year on the youth stage, including an international gold medal in March.ઇઝરાયેલ રોડરિગ્ઝ (નમ્ર, ટેક્સાસ) surprised many when he took the second spot at the 2019 પૂર્વીય ક્વોલિફાયર, which will be a huge confidence booster in Lake Charles, અનેMarcell Davidson (Shawnee, મે.) has the goods to reach the finals. Another boxer making the transition to elite this year, Daniel Garcia(વેસ્ટમિન્સ્ટર, Colo.), secured the final spot after a strong performance in Oxnard, including a close matchup against Mercado in the finals.

Welterweight/152 lbs./69 kg

2017 વર્લ્ડ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ બ્રોન્ઝ વિજેતાFreudis રોજસ જુનિયર. (લાસ વેગાસ, Nev.)  અને 2019 Pan American Games bronze medalistDelante જોહ્ન્સન (ક્લેવલેન્ડ, ઓહિયો) headline a strong welterweight division.Marques Valle (Wesley Chapel, ફ્લામાં.) surprised many at last year’s Elite National Championships, defeating some of Team USA’s top competitors, to secure his spot.કેલ્વિન ડેવિસ(નોર્ફોક, વા.), the older brother of Keyshawn Davis, will be looking to pick up where he left off in Ohio, જ્યારેVictor Aranda (પગલું, ટેક્સાસ) enters as the Western Elite Qualifier Champion. Lavars Carter (સિનસિનાટી, ઓહિયો) earned the final spot, and could see a potential third matchup against Johnson, as they met in Salt Lake last year and the finals of the Last Chance Qualifier, with Carter winning in Salt Lake and Johnson in Oxnard.Wayne Bourdreaux (Marrero, આ.) will be looking for a strong performance, as he is one of the few Louisiana natives in the field, અનેMorris Young (Chesaning, મિચ.) will be hoping to improve on his silver medal performance in Reno.

Middleweight/165 lbs./75 kg

Expected to be another weight division with exciting matchups, the middleweight division has the potential to see a fourth finals matchup between 2019 Pan American Games bronze medalistટ્રોય Isley (એલેક્ઝાન્ડ્રા, વા.) અને 2018 Elite National Championજાવિએર માર્ટીનેઝ(મિલવૌકી, WISC.). Isley took the national title in 2016 અને 2017 over Martinez, while Martinez was victorious in 2018. જો કે, both boxers will have to get through six talented boxers that will be hungry to end their finals runs.Kahshad Elliot(Plainfield, એન.જે.), Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, મિચ.) અનેAntonio Garcia (એનાહેમ, કેલિફ.) were crowned champions at the three qualifiers, and will look to continue their winning ways in Louisiana.Alexis Chaparro (ન્યૂ યોર્ક, એન.વાય), Francis Hogan (Weymouth, માસ.) અનેAlex Chisholm (Hialeah Gardens, ફ્લામાં.) showed why they should not be underestimated with their qualifying performances and will be tough to get through in this bracket.

Light Heavyweight/178 lbs./81 kg

2018 Elite National Championરહિમ ગોન્ઝાલિસ (લાસ વેગાસ, Nev.) has the heart and determination to succeed in Lake Charles after falling short at the 2016 યુ.એસ.. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, જ્યારે આતિફ Oberlton (ફિલાડેલ્ફિયા, Pa.) has been on the rise following his silver medal performance at last year’s National Championships. Following the shuffling around of boxers who qualified in multiple divisions, Francis Oran (આલ્લેણટોવન, Pa.) is the lone regional qualifier champion, taking the title in Oxnard at the Last Chance Qualifier.Orville Crooks (બ્રુકલીન, એન.વાય), Amir Ghaffari Nikou (Charlotte, એન.સી.) અનેNasheed Smith(વોશિંગ્ટન, ડી.સી.) qualified to these trials after finishing second at the Eastern, Last Chance and Western Qualifiers, respectively.Chavon Davis (Mansfield, ઓહિયો) અનેRobert Magee(Byrnes Mill, મો) were added to the field following Javier Martinez and Adrian Tillman, the Eastern and Western Qualifier Champions in this division selected to compete in the other weight class they are qualified in.

                                                       Heavyweight/201 lbs./91 kg

After qualifying in two different weight classes, એડ્રીયન Tillman (કૉલરાડો સ્પ્રિંગ્સ માં, Colo.) chose to compete in the heavyweight division with hopes of being one of the two boxers in this division, જો કે, આ 2018 Elite National Championships heavyweight silver medalists will have to fend off a tough bracket to advance.Najee Lopez (Ellenwood, Ga.), Brandon Moore(LAKELAND,, ફ્લામાં.) અનેDevon Young(Aiken, S.C.) were crowned champions in the three regional qualifying tournaments and all three will be looking to continue their winning ways in a few weeks, જ્યારેJoshua Edwards (હ્યુસ્ટન, ટેક્સાસ), ડેરિયસ Fulghum (Rosharon, ટેક્સાસ) અનેJamar Talley (Camden, એન.જે.) finished second in the regional qualifiers but could make it an interesting week in Louisiana. 2016 Elite National Champion and 2018 bronze medalistsCymone Kearney (બ્યુમોન્ટ, ટેક્સાસ) was a late addition to the field after Jared Anderson moved to the professional ranks and could surprise many.

Super Heavyweight/201+ lbs./ 91+ કિલો

With the medical exemption of two-time USA Boxing Elite National Champion and 2019 Pan American Games bronze medalistરિચાર્ડ ટોરેઝ જુનિયર(TULARE, કેલિફ.)** being accepted by USA Boxing, the super heavyweight division is wide open for the eight boxers competing in Lake Charles. 2019 Eastern and Western Qualifier ChampionsJeremiah Milton (તુલસા, Okla.) અનેAntonio Mireles (Des Moines, આયોવા) will look to be victorious once more after they stood atop the podium at their respective events to qualify, જ્યારેDominic Okopie (હ્યુસ્ટન, ટેક્સાસ) grabbed the Last Chance Qualifier title to secure his spot in the tournament.Luis Alvarado (Keonsha, WISC.) made an impressive international debut earlier this year and will look to use that valuable experience over the other boxers in this division.Dacarree Scott(Decatur, Ga.), Pryce Taylor (બ્રુકલીન, એન.વાય) અનેKenyon Walker (સાન એન્ટોનિયો, ટેક્સાસ) punched their tickets to Louisiana by placing second at their respective qualifying event, while Deandre Savage (લાસ વેગાસ, Nev.) will return to the national stage after qualifying to last year’s Elite National Championships.

USA BOXING HEAVYWEIGHT ADRIAN TILLMAN IN U.S. ARMY

એક ટિપ્પણી મૂકો

COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (સપ્ટેમ્બર 3, 2019) – No. 2 rated American heavyweight એડ્રીયન 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), in which qualified athletes have an opportunity to train fulltime for the Olympics.

“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 Tokyo, જાપાન, is the one thing on my mind.

“Training (in Colorado Springs) 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, કેલિફોર્નિયા, 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 અને 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, જો કે, 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, રશિયા, to compete in the 2019 આર્મર હેઠળ, સપ્ટેમ્બર 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 ઓલિમ્પિક્સ.

આતિફ ઓબરલ્ટન વિશ્વ ચેમ્પિયનશીપમાં તમામ રીતે સિટી ઓફ બ્રધરલી લવનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરે છે

એક ટિપ્પણી મૂકો

COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (ઓગસ્ટ 22, 2019) - આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય બોક્સિંગ સીન પર એક નવું ઉભરી રહ્યું છે અને તેનું નામ છે આતિફ Oberlton, ફિલાડેલ્ફિયાથી લાઇટ હેવીવેઇટ, જે બોક્સિંગમાં પોતાનું નામ બનાવવાના મિશન પર છે.

ઓબર્લ્ટન એલિટ મેન્સ વર્લ્ડ ચેમ્પિયનશિપમાં ભાગ લેશે, સપ્ટેમ્બર 7-21, યેકાટેરિનબર્ગમાં, રશિયા.

દાવો કરનાર 21 વર્ષીય બોક્સર માટે આત્મવિશ્વાસનો અભાવ એ કોઈ મુદ્દો નથી, “મારા માટે સારું કરવું અને વર્લ્ડમાં જીતવું ખૂબ જ મહત્વપૂર્ણ છે, કારણ કે હું એક હકીકત માટે જાણું છું, મારા હ્રદયમાં, હું વિશ્વનો શ્રેષ્ઠ ફાઇટર છું. પણ, હું આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય સીન પર નવો છું, તેથી તેઓ જે ખૂટે છે તેનો એક ભાગ આપવાનો સમય આવી ગયો છે.”

ઓબેર્લ્ટને નવ વર્ષની ઉંમરે બોક્સિંગની શરૂઆત કરી હતી, જોકે તેણે ત્યાં સુધી સ્પર્ધા કરવાનું શરૂ કર્યું ન હતું 14, કારણ કે તે તેના પરિવારમાં એકમાત્ર છોકરો હતો, અને તેના પિતા ઇચ્છતા હતા કે તે પોતાનો બચાવ કેવી રીતે કરવો તે શીખે. તેના ઘણા સાથી ખેલાડીઓની જેમ, તે બોક્સિંગના પ્રેમમાં પડ્યો.

છેલ્લા પાંચ વર્ષમાં, Oberlton ખાતે ગોલ્ડ મેડલ કબજે કર્યો છે 2018 અને 2016 નેશનલ ગોલ્ડન હાથમોજાં ટુર્નામેન્ટ, 2018 પૂર્વીય એલિટ ક્વોલિફાયર અને 2014 રાષ્ટ્રીય જુનિયર ઓલિમ્પિક્સ. તે યુએસએ વિ.માં પણ વિજેતા હતો. નેધરલેન્ડ ડ્યુઅલ.

“અત્યાર સુધીની મારી સૌથી મોટી સિદ્ધિ એ છે કે ટીમ યુએસએ બનાવવી અને હું જ્યાં છું ત્યાં રહેવું, કારણ કે વર્ષો અને વર્ષોથી મને નકારવામાં આવ્યો હતો, અને અહીં હું આજે ટોચના સ્થાને છું જ્યાં હું છું. હું ટોપ-સ્પોટ ફાઇટર છું, તેથી હું તેને લાયક છું, અને મેં ટોચનું કામ કર્યું, પણ"

ઓવરલટને યુ.એસ. ખાતે કોલોરાડો સ્પ્રિંગ્સમાં તાલીમનો લાભ લીધો છે. ઓલિમ્પિક તાલીમ કેન્દ્ર, જ્યાં તેણે પહેલા દિવસથી સુધારો દર્શાવ્યો છે, સંપૂર્ણ બોક્સર બનવા માટે તેની કુશળતાને સન્માનિત કરી.

“કન્ડિશનિંગ મારા સુધારણામાં મોટો ભાગ ભજવે છે; વિવિધ શૈલીઓ પણ જોઈ, અને ટોચનું કામ મળવાથી મને ઉન્નતિ મળી છે,"તેણે ટીમ યુએસએ સભ્ય તરીકે તાલીમ વિશે વાત કરી. "હું હંમેશા મહાનતા અને આના માર્ગ પર નવા અવરોધોને તોડી નાખું છું (ધ વર્લ્ડ્સ) બીજી એક છે જેને હું તોડી પાડવા માંગુ છું."

પોતાના દેશનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરવા ઉપરાંત, Oberlton એક ગૌરવપૂર્ણ ફિલી ફાઇટર છે જે લાંબા સમય સુધી ચાલુ રાખે છે, બ્રધરલી લવ શહેરમાં સમૃદ્ધ બોક્સિંગ પરંપરા, જે ની પસંદ પેદા કરી છેબર્નાર્ડ હોપકિન્સ, મેથ્યુ સાદ મુહમ્મદ, બેની બ્રિસ્કો, જોય Giardello, માઇક Rossman,જેમ્સ શુલર, યુજેન હાર્ટ અને વર્ષોથી ઘણા વધુ મહાન લડવૈયાઓ.

"મારું શહેર તેના મહાન બોક્સિંગ ઇતિહાસ માટે જાણીતું છે અને હું મારી પીઠ પર 'ધ સિટી ઑફ ફિલાડેલ્ફિયા' પહેરું છું,"ઓબરલ્ટને ઉમેર્યું. “થોડા વધુ વર્ષોમાં ડાઉન ધ લાઇન, હું મારી જાતને ફિલી બોક્સરોની આગામી તરંગનું નેતૃત્વ કરતી જોઉં છું. હકિકતમાં, મને લાગે છે કે હું તરંગ છું, હમણાં, જેમ આપણે બોલીએ છીએ. બધા મને જોઈ રહ્યા છે. હું તે બધાને ગર્વ કરીશ, જૂની અને યુવા પેઢી બંનેમાંથી.

“હું રશિયા ગયો નથી અને હું ત્યાં જવાની રાહ જોઈ રહ્યો છું. વિશ્વને જોવું હંમેશા સારું છે. હું જ્યાંથી છું ત્યાંથી પાછા જવાનું મને હંમેશા ગમે છે અને બીજાઓને વિશ્વ જોવા માટે સમજાવવાનો પ્રયાસ કરું છું, કારણ કે તે આપણા પડોશ કરતાં ઘણું મોટું છે.”

Oberlton રિંગમાં કાચંડો જેવો છે, સતત બદલાતા રહે છે અને તેના વિરોધી સાથે એડજસ્ટ થાય છે. “હું મારી શૈલીને પાણી જેવી માનું છું,"તેણે તારણ કાઢ્યું. "તે વેવી છે કારણ કે હું જીતવા માટે એડજસ્ટ થયો છું, અને હું કોઈપણ શૈલીને હરાવી શકું છું. હું કોઈને પણ પછાડી શકું છું, બાબત પર મનની લડાઈ. બોક્સિંગ 80 ટકા માનસિક છે, 20-ટકા ભૌતિક, અને મારી પાસે તે બધું છે.

“મારો ટૂંકા ગાળાનો ધ્યેય ધ વર્લ્ડ્સમાં ગોલ્ડ જીતવાનો છે અને બીજું બધું ઓલિમ્પિક્સ તરફ દોરી જાય છે. અને ઓલિમ્પિકમાં ગોલ્ડ જીતવાથી ઓછું નથી. મારું લાંબા ગાળાનું ધ્યેય બ્રહ્માંડમાં ચાલવા માટે સૌથી મહાન ફાઇટર બનવાનું છે.”

આતિફ ઓબરલ્ટન માટે આત્મવિશ્વાસ ચોક્કસપણે કોઈ સમસ્યા નથી.

બોક્સિંગ, યુએસએ બોક્સિંગ

યુએસએ બોક્સિંગ સ્ટેન્ડઆઉટ બેન્ટમવેઇટ ડ્યુક રાગન તેની પુત્રીના ભવિષ્ય માટે લડી રહ્યાં છે

એક ટિપ્પણી મૂકો
COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (મે 29, 2019) – બોક્સરો વિવિધ કારણોસર લડે છે. ટીમ યુએસએ બેન્ટમવેઇટ ડ્યુક Ragan તેની બે વર્ષની પુત્રી દ્વારા જીમ અને રીંગમાં ચલાવવામાં આવે છે, કેનેડી રાગન.


21 વર્ષીય રાગન કોલોરાડો સ્પ્રિંગ્સમાં તેના સાથી ચુનંદા ટીમના સભ્યો સાથે તાલીમ લે છે, કોલોરાડો, જે સિનસિનાટીમાં તેના ઘર અને પુત્રીથી ઘણું દૂર છે.

“તેનાથી દૂર રહેવું મુશ્કેલ છે,” રાગને સ્વીકાર્યું, “પરંતુ તેણી મને પ્રોત્સાહિત કરે છે. હું અમારા ભવિષ્ય માટે બોક્સિંગ કરું છું.”

બોક્સિંગમાં રાગનનું ભવિષ્ય ઉજ્જવળ છે. તેમણે નં. 1 યુનાઇટેડ સ્ટેટ્સમાં બેન્ટમવેઇટ, જેઓ આ પછી કેશ-આઉટ કરવાની યોજના ધરાવે છે 2020 જાપાનમાં ઓલિમ્પિક્સ.

જો કે તે સાત વર્ષનો હતો ત્યારે તેની પ્રથમ કલાપ્રેમી મેચ હતી, રાગનનો જન્મ વ્યવહારીક રીતે બોક્સમાં થયો હતો, બેબી બોક્સિંગ ગ્લોવ્ઝ પહેરેલા શિશુ તરીકેના ચિત્રો દ્વારા સ્પષ્ટ થાય છે. તેના પિતા અને કોચ, ડેરેક “ડ્યુક” રાગએક, જેણે પોતાના પુત્રનું નામ પોતાના હુલામણા નામથી રાખ્યું, બોક્સર એવા ઘણા મિત્રો હતા. જ્યારે ડ્યુકનો છ વર્ષનો મોટો ભાઈ, લેવિસ વોકર, તેમના કાકા પાસે તાલીમ લીધી સીન સિંગલટનનું જીમ, યુવાન ડ્યુકને તેના પિતા દ્વારા ઘરમાં તાલીમ આપવામાં આવી રહી હતી.

“હું નાનો હતો ત્યારે અન્ય રમતો રમ્યો હતો, પણ હું હાઈસ્કૂલમાં નહોતો,” રાગને કહ્યું. “જ્યારે હું છ વર્ષનો હતો અને એક વર્ષ પછી મારા પિતાએ મને તાલીમ આપવાનું શરૂ કર્યું, હું જીમમાં તાલીમ અને ઝઘડામાં હતો. હું બોક્સિંગ સિવાય અન્ય કોઈ રમત રમવા માંગતો ન હતો.”

રાગન પાસે એ 151-19 કલાપ્રેમી રેકોર્ડ, ખાતે તેના સિલ્વર-મેડલ પ્રદર્શન દ્વારા પ્રકાશિત 2017 વિશ્વ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ્સ. ખાતે સોનું કબજે કર્યું હતું 2016 & 2018 એલિટ નેશનલ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ્સ, માટે તેને લાયક ઠરે છે 2020 બોક્સિંગ માટે ઓલિમ્પિક ટ્રાયલ્સ, તેમજ ખાતે 2016 નેશનલ ગોલ્ડન ગ્લોવ્સ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ.


ખાતે સિલ્વર મેડલ જીતવા ઉપરાંત 2017 વિશ્વ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ્સ, રાગન અન્ય આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય સ્પર્ધાઓમાં સફળ રહ્યો છે, ખાતે ટોચ સન્માન લેતા 2017 રસાયણશાસ્ત્ર કપ, ખાતે રનર અપ 2018 પ્રમુખ કપ, અને માં ત્રીજા સ્થાને સમાપ્ત થાય છે 2017 કોન્ટિનેંટલ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ્સ અને 2019 નિકારાગુઆમાં પાન અમેરિકન ક્વોલિફાયર. બાદમાં ટુર્નામેન્ટમાં, રાગન સેમિફાઇનલમાં ઇક્વાડોર સામે હારી ગયો હતો જીન કેસેડો, 3-2, પાન-અમેરિકન ગેમ્સ માટે ક્વોલિફાય થવા માટે, જુલાઈ 27 લિમામાં, પેરુ.

રાગન પાન-અમેરિકન ગેમ્સમાં કૈસેડો સામેની તેની વિવાદાસ્પદ હારનો બદલો લેવા આતુર છે.. “હું નંબર હતો. 1 પાન અમેરિકન ક્વોલિફાયરમાં બીજ, અને મને લાગે છે કે હું નંબર હોઈશ. 1 પાન અમેરિકન ગેમ્સમાં બીજ,” રાગને ટિપ્પણી કરી. “મને લાગે છે કે સેમિફાઇનલમાં મને ખરાબ નિર્ણય મળ્યો. પાન અમેરિકન ગેમ્સમાં કેટલીક સારી સ્પર્ધા જોવા મળશે, પરંતુ મારા માટે ચિંતા કરવાની કોઈ નથી.”

એક શુદ્ધ બોક્સર તરીકે સ્વ-વર્ણન કરેલ જે રિંગ સ્નેપિંગ જૅબ્સની આસપાસ ફરવાનો આનંદ માણે છે, રાગનમાં વિરોધીઓને ઊંઘમાં મૂકવાની પૂરતી શક્તિ પણ છે. તે સિનસિનાટીના સમૃદ્ધ બોક્સિંગ ઇતિહાસનો ભાગ બનવા માંગે છે, જેમ કે સર્વકાલીન મહાન પેદા કર્યા છે આરોન પ્રાયર,એઝાર્ડ ચાર્લ્સ, એડ્રિયન બ્રોનર, Rau'shee વોરન અને ટિમ ઓસ્ટિન, બીજાઓ વચ્ચે.

“પ્રાયર અને ચાર્લ્સ એ જ સમુદાયમાં બોક્સિંગ કર્યું જ્યાં હું મોટો થયો હતો,” રાગને નોંધ્યું. “મેં ખરેખર હજુ સુધી કંઈ કર્યું નથી, પરંતુ તેમની જેમ વર્લ્ડ ચેમ્પિયન બનવું સારું રહેશે.”

યુએસએ બોક્સિંગે રાગનના યુવાન જીવનમાં મુખ્ય ભૂમિકા ભજવી છે અને, જો તેને તેની ઈચ્છા મળે, તે ઓછામાં ઓછા બીજા વર્ષ કે તેથી વધુ સમય માટે ચાલુ રહેશે. “મારું મુખ્ય ધ્યાન છે 2020, હું તેના પછી તરફી બનવાની ચિંતા કરીશ,” તેણે ટિપ્પણી કરી. “એમેચ્યોર બોક્સિંગ મને ખૂબ લાંબુ લાવી છે. હું વધુ શિસ્તબદ્ધ છું, વધુ સારી રીતે કેન્દ્રિત, અને વધુ સ્માર્ટ બોક્સર. મારો બોક્સિંગ આઈક્યુ વધારે છે. મારે બલિદાન આપવાનું પણ શીખવું પડ્યું છે, કારણ કે મારી યુવાન પુત્રી માટે સમય કાઢવા માટે મારે એક માણસ બનવું પડશે. આ બધું મને પ્રોફેશનલ બનવા માટે તૈયાર કરી રહ્યું છે.

રાગને જર્મની અને કઝાકિસ્તાનની ટીમ યુએસએ બોક્સર તરીકે વિશ્વભરમાં પ્રવાસ કર્યો છે (દરેક બે વાર), પોલેન્ડ, બલ્ગેરિયા અને નિકારાગુઆ. છેવટે, ડ્યુક રાગન તેમના દેશનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરવાનું અને સમગ્ર વિશ્વમાં મુસાફરી કરવાનું ચાલુ રાખવા માંગે છે, આશા, આવતા વર્ષે ટોક્યોની ટ્રીપનું બુકિંગ.

Lightweight Keyshawn Davis preparing to go gold digging next year in Japan at 2020 ઓલિમ્પિક્સ

એક ટિપ્પણી મૂકો

COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (મે 20, 2019) – Team USA lightweight Keyshawn ડેવિસ has been preparing all of his young life to represent his country in the Olympics. If everything goes as planned and remains on schedule, the Norfolk, Virginia native will be boxing for gold next year in Japan.


The 20-year-old Davis, જે રમતગમત કરે છે 110-15 કલાપ્રેમી રેકોર્ડ, is racking up medals at such a torrid pace that he desperately needs to expand his display case. He is a two-time Elite National (2017-18) and two-time National PAL (2013-14) ચેમ્પિયન, as well as a gold medalist at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open and 2017 નેશનલ ગોલ્ડન હાથમોજાં.

Internationally, he’s done some serious damage, ખૂબ. The highlight of his amateur career, આજ સુધી, is winning gold at last year’s Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. Davis recently captured silver at the 2019 Pan-American Games Qualifier in Nicaragua, in addition to the 2018 Chemistry Cup in Germany.

“I won my first International gold medal in Bulgaria,” Davis agreed with it being the highlight of his amateur career. “I was also selected as the Most Outstanding Boxer.”

His victory at the 2018 USA Nationals qualified him for the 2020 બોક્સિંગ માટે ઓલિમ્પિક ટ્રાયલ્સ, while his silver at the Pan American Games Qualifier qualified him for the Pan American Games (July 27-August 2) લિમામાં, પેરુ. This year he will also be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships (સાત. 7-21) યેકાટેરિનબર્ગમાં, રશિયા.

“Qualifying for the Olympic Trials really wasn’t much of an accomplishment for me because it was expected,” Davis noted. “For me it was to get on Team USA, again and this is my second year on the team.

“There’s no real competition for me to qualify for the USA Olympic Boxing Team. My last fight in The Nationals was a little bit of a challenge (વિ. Dalis Kaleiopu), because I slipped and got up.”

At the Pan American Games, Davis could very well face the Cuban boxer who defeated him by a score of 3-2 at the Pan American Games Qualifier, Andy Cruz, setting up a possible rubber match between the two elite boxers next year at the Olympic Games.

“There’s a very good chance we’ll fight again at the Pan-Am Games, most likely in Japan, સાથે સાથે,” Davis added. “We have to win two rounds to qualify for the finals and for me to get my revenge. Cruz has a lot more International experience than I do. તેમણે છે 26 years old and World Champion in our weight class.”

Davis started boxing when he was nine when, tired of Keyshawn and his two brothers fighting each other and in school, his mother asked if they wanted to go to the gym to learn how to box. They did and today, his older (Kelvin) and younger (Keon) brothers are also amateur boxers.

Not long after that he met ટ્રોય Isley, who is a fellow member of Team USA, and today they’re as close as brothers.

“I met Troy way back, after I first started boxing,” Davis remembered. “We’d meet up at the Nationals and other tournaments and hang together with my brothers. My coach retired, so I went to Troy’s gym (એલેક્ઝાન્ડ્રિયા, વીએ) and started working with Coach Kay (Koroma, USA Assistant National Boxing Coach). We’re getting close to our dream (representing the USA in the Olympics) that started so long ago that it seems unreal to be getting close. You can expect two boxers from Virginia to come back from Japan with gold medals. We’re like brothers.”

“Coach Kay first cornered me when I was 13. He’s a great coach who wants us to succeed in life, not just in the ring. He wants the best for us. We have one of the best U.S. boxing teams in a long time and it’s going to show in Japan. We always help each other out and this is a very exciting time for us right now.”

Another close friend of Keyshawn’s is, 2018 ઓલિમ્પિક ચાંદીના વિજેતા Shakur Stevenson, who has been through what Keyshawn is approaching, and is now at the level as a professional prospect in which Davis aspires to reach.

“Shakur has always supported me,” Davis continued. “We talk a lot. પ્રામાણિકપણે, it’s hard for me not to think about turning pro, because my amateur career will be over after the Olympics. I’ve always been taught to have a plan, so I’ve been preparing, business-wise, looking into my options (manager and promoter), and to stay on the right track from the amateurs to pros.”

If he wasn’t a boxer, Davis figures he’d be a realtor, but he’s thoroughly enjoying the life as a boxer.

“This has been a great experience,” Davis spoke about his amateur boxing career, “especially this year getting ready for the Pan AMs. I’ve had opportunities to travel and meet people, but the best part is being part of a team like this. Boxing is an individual sport but, રીંગ બહાર, we’re always pushing hard for each other.

“I thank God every day when I get up for putting me in this position. All I want to do is provide for me and my family. At my age, I’m ahead of the game.”
