**PHILADELPHIA** (Avril 1, 2021) - Invaincu welterweight **Jaron «Bottes» Ennis** cherchera à consolider son statut d'étoile montante dans la division des poids welters lorsqu'il affrontera un ancien champion du monde robuste **Sergey Lipinets** dans une bataille de 12 rounds qui fait la une de l'action en direct sur SHOWTIME samedi, Avril 10 depuis Mohegan Sun Arena à Uncasville, Conn. dans un événement Premier Boxing Champions.

Ennis, 23 ans, affrontera la compétition la plus rude de sa carrière aux Lipinets, alors qu'il entre sur le ring lors de son premier Main Event SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Représentant la ville combattante de Philadelphie, Ennis a utilisé de sublimes compétences de boxe et une puissance à deux mains pour revendiquer le titre de prochain grand champion de la ville..

Ennis a organisé une séquence de 16 combats à élimination directe qui comprenait le fait de devenir la première personne à arrêter Juan Carlos Abreu lorsqu'il a éliminé le challenger de longue date au sixième tour en août. 2020. Ennis n'a pas pu prolonger cette séquence en décembre 2020, lorsque son combat contre Chris van Heerden a été déclaré sans concours après le premier tour en raison d'un choc de têtes provoquant une grave coupure au front de Van Heerden.

Formé par son père Bozy Ennis, Ennis a partagé ses réflexions sur le camp d'entraînement, Lipinets et plus ci-dessous:

***En tête d'affiche de sa première carte de boxe Showtime Championship:***

«Cela a rendu mon emploi du temps un peu plus fou. Être dans l'événement principal sur SHOWTIME apporte plus d'attention, mais j'aime ça. J'aime être sous les projecteurs. J'aime briller, donc ce n’est pas nouveau pour moi. Maintenant c'est l'heure du combat. Je suis enfermé et prêt à faire du rock and roll. »

***Le camp d'entraînement***:

«Nous faisons toujours des rondes de quatre minutes au camp. Je fais ça depuis que je suis bébé. C'est une autre raison pour laquelle je ne m'assois pas quand je me bats, parce que je suis tellement habitué aux tours de quatre minutes. Les rounds de trois minutes passent très vite le soir du combat. Une chose que nous avons ajoutée à ce camp était le travail sur tapis roulant sous-marin.

***Sur ses derniers préparatifs:***

«La semaine avant le combat, nous le réduisons et nous affûterons. C’est un excellent camp d’entraînement. Je vais de mieux en mieux chaque jour, et j'ai hâte de me produire samedi prochain. »

***Face à son premier ancien champion du monde:***

"Il est un bon combattant, mais ça ne veut rien dire pour moi. C’est juste un autre jour au bureau. C'est une personne ordinaire comme n'importe qui d'autre. "

***Sur Sergey le qualifiant de «combattant typique de Philly»:***

«Je suppose qu'il sait que je suis dur, graveleux et je suis prêt à gronder. Je viens là-bas pour remporter une victoire à Philadelphie et avoir l'air bien de le faire, n'importe comment."

***Sur sa puissance KO***:

«Je ne pense pas avoir encore la force de mon homme. Je sens qu'il faudra encore un ou deux ans avant d'avoir pleinement la force de mon homme. La partie folle est, Je me sens comme dans un combat, Je n’ai toujours pas lancé de tir puissant et je me suis encore vraiment assis sur un coup de poing. Tout ce avec quoi j'ai assommé des gars a été une force naturelle. "

***Sur la façon dont il voit sa séquence à élimination directe***:

«Certaines personnes pourraient envisager un KO en avril 10 le 17^e KO consécutive, certains pourraient le voir comme le début d'une nouvelle séquence à élimination directe. Pour moi, Je m'en fiche tant que je sors victorieux. C’est tout ce qui compte pour moi. Je ne cherche pas un KO mais je vais le prendre s'il vient. "

TOMMY SANTIAGO LOOKS FOR MULTI-SPORT SUCCESS AND A KIDNEY FOR DAD

Février 28, 2020 FNU47 Laisser un commentaire

*Football standout to make pro debut on March 27 while his family’s story remains unfinished*

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvanie — Tommy Santiago, a standout high school football star and accomplished amateur boxer, will enter the ring for his first pro fight on March 27 à 2300 Arène, and his dad will be in his corner.

To spectators, it’s another father-son team, made slightly more interesting because Tommy is the second Santiago son to turn pro. Brother Milton, Jr., is an undefeated lightweight.

That Milton Sr., can walk up the steps and wave the towel for his son belies the real story — one about a father who died and was brought back to life less than a year ago, who is waiting for a life-altering call. It’s a story about a mother who pulls double-duty to provide for her family and care for her husband. It’s about the son, a prodigal football talent, who sacrificed his spot at a top football high school to help keep his family afloat, and now is embarking on a professional boxing career. It’s a story about their past and current struggles, and the grit, determination and faith that has seen them through a slow, grinding, water torture-style drip of pain and adversity.

Il ya quelques années, the Santiago family had outgrown their two-bedroom home. With three teenage boys–Milton Jr., Tommy and young Nicco–they packed their home and moved into a fixer-upper in the suburbs. Milton, Sr., was a talented painter who had worked for some of the most prestigious home builders in Philadelphia.

Mom Brenda worked at a kitchen gadget manufacturing company for 20 ans, where she climbed the ladder, wearing various hats and helping to provide a comfortable life for her family.

It was not long after their 2017 move that Milton Sr., began noticing he wasn’t himself. Over the next few years his health would deteriorate. Once a husky, active painter and boxing coach, he shriveled away. After bouncing from doctor to hospital, he received a dual diagnosis of kidney failure and an infection that had spread to his bones. Brenda went from being a working mom to a working mom and caregiver, waking up Milton, Jr., to help carry his dad to the car at 5:30 in each morning. She’d drive him to dialysis before work, and then take an early lunch each day to get him home.

Tommy enrolled at Archbishop Wood High School, a private, Catholic school in Warminster, Pennsylvanie, known for its elite football program; tuition was $9,000 per year. He was a star running back, notation 20 touchdowns and gaining nearly 1700 yards as a Junior. Son petit frère, a standout basketball player, also attended Archbishop Wood.

Wheelchair bound and unable to walk, Milton Sr., was embarrassed to go to his sons’ jeux. Brenda had to help him get to the bathroom and clean him. Milton Jr., put his career on hold to help care for his father. It was a dark time for the family; bills were piling up as Milton Sr., got sicker.

“I was embarrassed,” Milton, Sr., said of that time. “I was depressed and I kept wondering why this is happening to me and my family.”

Mai dernier, Milton, Sr., went in for a procedure to biopsy a growth in his lungs. When the doctor came out of the operating room and asked Brenda if she would join him in a consult room, she knew something had gone wrong. Milton, Sr., had stopped breathing for nearly two minutes during the procedure and had to be resuscitated. The doctor warned that there may be permanent brain damage.

It was an earth-shattering moment for the family.

“It was the worst moment of my life,” recalled Tommy. “When I walked in and saw my dad in the ICU, knowing he might never be the same, I just started crying. I couldn’t handle it.”

After two days in a medically induced coma, Milton, Sr., began to recover. Doctors finally found the right combination of antibiotics to begin to cure the infection that had decimated his body. Effects from the procedure continued to affect his daily life. Excruciating headaches at all hours and short term memory loss became the new normal.

After Tommy’s record-breaking Junior year, and after seeing the stress that his mother was under, Tommy made a decision. He chose to transfer to William Tennent High School–also in Warminster–cutting his family’s tuition bill in half, but virtually guaranteeing that the college offers he and his parents had dreamed of would never come.

“My mom told me she would find a way, but I didn’t want her to stress,” said Tommy.

Brenda is pained when she speaks of Tommy’s departure from Wood: “Tommy is very strong, and he’s taken a lot for the family. It’s a burden I have on me because I want to be able to give them everything. Milton’s dream was for Tommy to go to Wood – it devastated Tommy and us when he had to transfer.”

As he recovered, Milton, Sr., learned to walk again. Milton, Jr., still administers his father’s dialysis five times per week for six hours and they wait to be added to the kidney donor list. Boxes of equipment line the walls of their home, and the improvements they’d planned on making to their home remain on hold.

“Milton doesn’t want us to be his donor,” said Brenda. “I’m the breadwinner and I can’t afford to be off work. Milton doesn’t want the kids to compromise their athletic careers. And after what happened when he went under in May, there’s a lot of fear. So we wait.”

Her voice breaks when she talks about the day they find a donor for her husband, but she doesn’t mention how it would take the pressure off of her: “The day that it happens, I’ll be ecstatic. He just wants to live a normal life. He wants to be able to do normal things – travail, provide for his family. I will be so thankful to God that he answered our prayers.”

“It would mean the world to my family to find a donor,” said Tommy. “Everything he’s been through, the dialysis four hours per day, three days a week… it’s not easy. My mom stays up late to take care of him and gets up early the next day to go to work. She never gives up.”

The example that Milton Sr., and Brenda have set – one of sacrifice, force mentale, and unbelievable love and commitment to each other and their family has been ingrained in their sons.

“Seeing all they’ve been through has been hard, but it makes me want to go harder,” said Tommy. “I just want to be able to bring my family to the next level.”

He has aspirations of being an NFL player and professional boxer, concurrently. “I have received an offer from Villanova,” Tommy said. “I’ve applied at Temple and Penn State and plan to walk on to their football teams if I’m accepted.”

Mais avant, another fight is on the horizon. A four-round, light-heavyweight contest with Angel Vasquez, de Springfield, MA, sur Mars 27.

“Tommy told me that the reason he likes football and boxing is that he has a hatred inside, a frustration and resentment at everything our family has been through,” said Brenda. “I feel for the kid that’s going to fight Tommy. He’s training hard, and really wants it. He really wants to go out there and do things – He wants to help the family.”

When Tommy Santiago walks out to the ring on March 27, he walks with the burden of his family’s troubles, but with his father by his side. Quand la cloche sonne, he’ll hear only his father’s voice from his corner, and a new chapter begins in the complicated and painful story of the unbreakable Santiago family.

He returned from a nine-month layoff in August of 2019 with a first round TKO of Franklin Mamani and followed that up with a third round TKO of Demian Fernandez on October 5. Against Fernandez, the come-forward and aggressive Ennis landed 43 percent of his power shots as he switched from orthodox to southpaw in a clinical performance in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: ÉDITION SPÉCIALE.

Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in boxing, Ennis had two emphatic knockout victories on *ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération* en 2018.

PELTZ BOXING: A LIFE-LONG LOVE STORY; J Russell Peltz Celebrates Half Century in Boxing

Septembre 19, 2019 FNU47 Laisser un commentaire

PHILADELPHIA — Pour 50 ans, J Russell Peltz has lived and breathed boxing. Sur Octobre 4, he will celebrate his Golden Anniversary as a Philadelphia promoter with an eight-bout card titled “Du sang, Sueur & 50 Années,” au 2300 Arène. Depuis sept. 30, 1969, he’s been an institution in the city, providing a platform for hundreds, if not thousands of Philadelphia fighters to showcase their talent. He’s promoted over a thousand boxing events and over 40 combats de championnat du monde. For half a century, Peltz has ridden the roller coaster of small- and big-time boxing, with stops all over the world.

Peltz’ love for boxing has outlived mentors, parents, a sister, a son and a marriage. It’s been the constant throughout the entirety of his adult life, and a refuge from guilt, sadness and loss. It was the cane he used when he couldn’t stand, and the mountain from which he screamed his successes. It has been an enduring passion and a safe, faceless pool where he could pour out an immense amount of love, out loud, and without guilt or fear of judgement.

He has an savant-like ability to recall dates of fights, who was on every card, and what happened in every round. He remembers detailed 40-year-old stories, combats, conversations and events like they happened yesterday.

For his 14th birthday, his dad took him to his first fight and it was love at first bell. He knew he was going to be a part of the beautiful brutality of boxing. His mom refused to allow him to go to more fights; she didn’t want him to be part of “that element.” He would lie and say he was out with friends or at parties, then go to the fights. Eventually she relented, and his father took him to more fights. He would abandon a burgeoning sports journalism career and promote his first event on Sept. 30, 1969.

J Russell Peltz grew up in an upper middle-class family, moving from Philadelphia to the wealthy community of Bala Cynwyd on Philadelphia’s Main Line when he entered third grade. Son père, Bernard Peltz, a plumber like his own dad, had expanded Peltz Plumbing to include heating and air-conditioning. By all measurements, his business was successful, catering to both residential repairs and large company and government installations. His father was beloved by his employees.

Peltz had a taste of the plumbing life over two summers in 1963 and ’64 and was decidedly bad at it. It was a disastrous endeavor for teenage Peltz, who was not mechanically inclined. One error resulted in the destruction of several oil paintings belonging to a wealthy client, and a large bill for his father to foot.

His father wasn’t much of a sports fan outside of boxing. Son père, Peltz’ grandfather, was an avid fan and worked for Western Union. On fight nights, including during the Jack Dempsey vs. Gene Tunney fight in 1926 à Philadelphie, he would be ringside, gathering updates and copy and communicating them to the wire services.

As Peltz tells it, son père, like many parents of kids who came of age in the 50s and 60s, was not expressive with his emotions. “He was just not the kind of person,” Peltz began, then paused. “Any more than I am, that could show it. My mom was the emotional, loving one.”

What shines through when conversing with Peltz, is how much his parents loved each other. In a time where men were not supposed to cry, Peltz’s father, who he described as a “man’s man,” took care of his wife while she was sick for years with emphysema. “They were passionately in love,” Ledit Peltz. “Things became rocky later, especially when my mother became sick, but he always loved her.

“She was so weak he would have to cut her meat and pre-chew it, so she would be strong enough to chew the rest of it,” remembers Peltz. “He would do those things and you could see that he loved her.”

After his mother passed away in 1975, Peltz found a box among her belongings: “When my mom died, I found a box of newspaper clippings of stories about me, some of which I’d never seen before. I knew she loved me.”

His father gave him an office to work from, and twice lent him money when Peltz needed a boost to get through a show or a bad year. If Peltz hadn’t been weighed down with remorse, he might have seen these gestures and support of his son’s boxing promoter career, of which he outwardly didn’t approve, as his father’s way of saying I love you.

A rift developed in the family when Peltz married his first wife, a non-Jewish girl, en 1969, against the wishes of his parents. This disagreement would color the remainder of their years together.

À 72 ans, Peltz looks back over those years and sees a selfish, immature version of himself, who didn’t treat his parents all that well. “I never had a mature relationship with my parents,” Peltz would say more than once. “I have terrible regrets about that.” His uncle had told him that his decision to marry his first wife was killing his mother, and Peltz believed him. The guilt is palpable as he describes his mother’s final days.

The bitterness he had felt at his parents’ reaction to his marriage and their nagging “get a real job” attitude toward his chosen profession put space in between them. After both had passed, pride and resentment quickly gave way to guilt and regret.

À la fin, it was his sister’s home and then his parents’ home he’d go to when his first marriage fell apart. Every day he’d stop in and say hello to his father, who had built him an office over his plumbing company. His family’s foundation, which had been built on silent love and commitment, proved unyielding throughout the years.

It wasn’t long after his mother’s death that he met the woman who would become his current wife–a former classmate at Lower Merion High School. Peltz knew from their first date that he would marry Linda Sablosky. All the nagging feelings of doubt he had going into his first marriage were nowhere to be found. For someone who sees himself as unemotional and unexpressive, the enormity of his love and devotion to Linda from that first date until this day is evident. In four hours of interviews, it was when he spoke about Linda that he sounded the most fulfilled and uplifted.

“Family is everything to Linda,” Ledit Peltz. “She brought together estranged cousins and other family members and she became very close to my father, calling him every day.

“If my mom had met Linda,” il a continué, weeping softly, “she would have had a reason to live.”

Linda fit effortlessly into his boxing world. She would often attend events, traveling with Peltz. “Linda is the kind of person who can exist in any world, in any atmosphere, and everybody loves her.” Peltz said. “It helped me in boxing. People say, ‘How bad can he be? She married him!’

“Linda is never idle. She can fill up 24 heures par jour. She’s the Queen of the Dollar Store. She can’t stand sitting around doing nothing. If Linda has 400 things to do and I only want to do 200 d'eux, she says I’m boring.”

The two would have two sons, Matthew and Daniel. Matthew, the oldest, was interested in music and girls. He was a ‘Deadhead,’ the moniker bestowed upon Grateful Dead fans, and traveled with them for a summer. He eventually moved to Israel and became a Rabbi. He married and had four children.

Daniel was the athlete, participating in various sports, including a short amateur boxing career that Peltz hid from Daniel’s mother for a short period of time.

Peltz did his best to never miss a game. “He was always there for me,” said Daniel. “He traveled a lot, but he always made time for my sporting events. He didn’t miss a milestone.”

Peltz and his wife lost Matthew to a drug overdose in 2017. He was only 38. The pain in Peltz’ voice when he talks about the years they tried to save their son is heart-wrenching. Countless trips to rehab, broken promises and relapses litter the last years of their time together. He loved Matthew as hard and as completely as any parent could have, but the thief that is drug addiction took Matthew away from his parents, his brother and his children.

At his son’s funeral Peltz told the story of a bidding scandal that rocked the plumbing industry in Philadelphia when he was a kid. The story had hit the newspapers, and when he was able to get his hands on the article, he read every word, looking for his dad’s name among those involved, hoping and praying it wasn’t there. His voice cracks again as he retells it. “When I got to the bottom of the story, it listed all those companies involved in the fix… and his name wasn’t in there. I felt so proud.of him.

“So it’s just that I knew that Bernie Peltz provided a hard day’s work for a fair day’s wage. Thirty years later, I came home from work one day and Linda hands me the phone. Your son wants to talk to you. I said ‘What’s up Matt.’ He said ‘Dad, how come when the sports writers write about boxing promoters, they always write bad things like they cheat the fighters, they steal their money, they pay off the judges and the referees, they fix the rankings… but whenever they write about you,” he paused and sniffed heavily as tears fell, “they always write nice things. He finished by saying ‘that’s so cool.’ I didn’t realize it at the time but as the years went by I realized that my son felt the same way about me that I felt about my dad.”

Peltz carries the weight of his Linda’s pain in addition to his own at the loss of their son. “All Linda ever wanted was to be a mother. To be there when the kids came home from school,” Peltz recalled. “That’s what made losing Matthew so devastating for her. She questioned her ability as a mother.

“If Matthew had had any other mother,” Peltz said, his voice cracking with emotion, “he wouldn’t have made it to even 20.”

Peltz finds comfort in his grandchildren. “Pop Pop is very affectionate with the kids,” said Daniel, who has two daughters. “He has six grandchildren — he loves them and they adore him.”

Au fil des ans, Peltz has brought many boxers into his inner circle, many of them becoming family. Osnel Charles, who fights on October 4, asked Peltz to be the co-best man in his wedding. He spoke at many hall-of-fame inductions, weddings and funerals over the past half century.

He talks about one of his more recent charges, Jason Sosa, with affection. One of the highest points in his long career was witnessing underdog Sosa stop Javier Fortuna to win a world title in 2016 à Beijing, Chine.

“When that fight was over we walked back to the hotel,” he remembered. “Linda went up to the room because she was tired. I went into a bar in the hotel. One of these really modern neon lit bars. I sat at that empty bar and I felt so on top of the world. People back in the states are just getting the news and here I am in Beijing having a beer by myself and I felt so good. Tu sais pourquoi? Mostly because at the time of my career that it happened. To win a world title like that, in a foreign land, coming from behind off the canvas, with no shot to win except by knockout…with Linda screaming and crying and she jumped up because she loves Jason. It was just like so great. Such a wonderful feeling. One of the highlights of my career. It’s not number one but it’s like 1A.”

Numéro un, il ajouta, was when his first charge, Bennie Briscoe, knocked out Tony Mundine in Paris in 1974: “That will always be number one. It was an eliminator. We were underdogs. It was my first trip to Europe and it was the biggest fight you could have without it being for the title. It was just such a wonderful night.”

His protege, Raging Babe Michelle Rosado, who is promoting “Aimer, Sueur & 50 Années,” is one of many who see Peltz as a father figure. His seven-year mentorship of Rosado will culminate in his passing the torch to his hardworking mentee. “Leaders build leaders. Because he doesn’t have an ego, and wasn’t inclined to protect his secrets at all costs like so many of his peers, he was able to mentor BAM [Brittany Rogers] and I and teach us the ropes. I’m honored that he trusts me to continue his legacy.” Peltz is known to brag about Rosado to his colleagues in the business. When he talks about her, his tone alternates between that of a proud father and professional respect and admiration. They may fight and scream but will always eventually reconcile like family so often does.

Peltz is ready to slow down after his 50th anniversary celebration. The changes to the sport have worn thin his desire to keep going. “It’s not the sport I fell in love with,” dit-il. “It’s not like it used to be. Guys just wanted to fight. If guys were within 10 pounds we had a fight.”

Sur Octobre 4, he will wind down his matchmaking career with the kind of card that he’s become known for in Philadelphia over the last 50 ans. Tough, Philly versus Philly toss-up matches. The kind of card that drew him to boxing and kept him there for half a century.

These relationships, the ones that Peltz has with Linda, Daniel and his grandchildren, with Michelle, with Osnel Charles, Bennie Briscoe, Jason Sosa and countless other boxers–these relationships don’t happen by accident. They’re built on respect and on love. Love that isn’t screamed out loud, but is felt by actions. Love that is disguised as feeling proud, or as the weight of guilt and regret. A love that’s equal to or perhaps even more than that of his love for boxing. Boxing will always be the place where Peltz can love out loud, but his legacy will forever be the quiet way he loved those he touched over the past 50 ans.

“Il semble qu'hier j'étais assis à l'extérieur du Blue Horizon à North Philly, vendre des billets de ma voiture pour ma première carte après la fermeture de la billetterie pour la journée. De là à l'ancienne arène de West Philly, puis au Spectrum dans le sud de Philly, ça a été tout un tour. Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Europe, Amérique du Sud, l'Orient–Je ne peux pas croire que cela fait un demi-siècle.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Août 22, 2019) - Il y a une nouvelle force montante sur la scène internationale de la boxe et son nom est Atif Oberlton, un poids lourd léger de Philadelphie, qui a pour mission de se faire un nom dans la boxe.

Oberlton participera aux championnats du monde hommes élite, Septembre 7-21, à Ekaterinbourg, Russie.

Aussi, Je suis nouveau sur la scène internationale, il est donc temps pour moi de donner une part de ce qu’ils ont manqué. »

Oberlton a commencé la boxe à l'âge de neuf ans, bien qu'il n'ait commencé la compétition qu'après avoir été 14, parce qu'il était le seul garçon de sa famille, et son père voulait qu'il apprenne à se défendre. Comme tant de ses coéquipiers, il est tombé amoureux de la boxe.

Au cours des cinq dernières années, Oberlton a remporté des médailles d'or au 2018 et 2016 Golden Gloves tournoi national, 2018 Qualification élite de l'Est et 2014 Jeux olympiques nationaux juniors. Il a également été vainqueur aux USA vs. Pays-Bas Dual.

«Ma plus grande réussite à ce jour est de rejoindre Team USA et d’être là où je suis, parce que pendant des années et des années on m'a refusé, et me voici aujourd'hui à la première place où j'appartiens. Je suis un combattant de premier plan, donc je le mérite, et je mets un travail de premier ordre, aussi"

Overlton a profité de l'entraînement à Colorado Springs aux États-Unis. Olympic Training Center, où il a montré une amélioration dès le premier jour, perfectionner ses compétences pour devenir un boxeur complet.

«Le conditionnement joue un grand rôle dans mon amélioration; voir aussi différents styles, et obtenir le meilleur travail m'a élevé,»Il a parlé de la formation en tant que membre de Team USA. «Je brise toujours de nouvelles barrières sur la route de la grandeur et ceci (Au monde) en est une autre que je cherche à percer. »

En plus de représenter son pays, Oberlton est un fier combattant de Philly qui continue le long, riche tradition de boxe dans la ville de l'amour fraternel, qui a produit les goûts deBernard Hopkins, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Mike Rossman,James Shuler, Eugène Hart et tant d'autres grands combattants au fil des ans.

«Ma ville est connue pour sa grande histoire de boxe et je porte« The City of Philadelphia »sur le dos,»A ajouté Oberlton. «Dans quelques années plus tard, Je me vois mener la prochaine vague de boxeurs de Philly. En réalité, Je sens que je suis la vague, maintenant, en ce moment même. Tout le monde me regarde. Je les rendrai tous fiers, des générations anciennes et jeunes.

«Je n’ai pas été en Russie et j’ai hâte d’y aller. C'est toujours bon de voir le monde. J'aime toujours retourner d'où je viens et essayer de convaincre les autres de voir le monde, car il est beaucoup plus grand que notre quartier. »

Oberlton est comme un caméléon sur le ring, changeant constamment et s'adaptant à son adversaire. «Je considère mon style comme de l'eau,»A-t-il conclu. "C'est ondulé parce que je m'adapte pour gagner, et je peux battre n'importe quel style. Je peux déjouer n'importe qui, esprit de combat pour la matière. La boxe est mentale à 80%, 20-pour cent physique, et j'ai tout.

«Mon objectif à court terme est de remporter l'or aux Mondiaux et tout le reste menant aux Jeux olympiques. Et gagner pas moins que l'or aux Jeux olympiques. Mon objectif à long terme est d'être le plus grand combattant à avoir jamais parcouru l'univers. »

La confiance n'est définitivement pas un problème pour Atif Oberlton.
