Boxning tog Lamont Ingram tillbaka från djupaste djupet av förtvivlan till att ge tillbaka till utsatta ungdomar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Juli 8, 2019) – Tidigare boxning utsikter Lamont Ingram har överlevt helvetet på jorden, som inkluderade honom förlora nästan allt i sitt liv, och nu är han ge tillbaka till utsatta ungdomar i Jackson, Tennessee.


Förra månaden, Ingram valdes mest utstående Referee av USA Boxing 2019 Nationella Junior OS.

Ingram återhämtning är inget annat än otroligt, speciellt med tanke på att han gick från att vara en enastående amatör boxare, som tävlade framgångsrikt i nationella amatörturneringar, till hemlöshet, blindhet i båda ögonen, två misslyckade självmordsförsök och, tyvärr, mycket mer förtvivlan.

“Jag är inte längre skämmas över vad jag gick igenom eftersom det gjorde mig mannen jag är idag,” 38-åriga Ingram sa. “Mitt liv hade varit så hårt att jag skämdes för att prata om det så länge. Jag förstår nu att min kamp är mitt vittnesbörd för nästa person att se att han eller hon kan göra det om de fortsätter att försöka.

“Boxning är allt jag visste, men jag kunde inte se ut ena ögat (hornhinnan skada) som utvecklades vid en ålder av 19. Jag blev arg på Gud och ville gå i pension. Jag fick deprimerad och förstod inte varför detta hade hänt. I 2008, Jag blev hemlösa första gången med ingenstans att gå. jag förlorade allt, inklusive min familj, och gick sedan (lagligt) blind på det andra ögat. Sedan, Gud sa till mig att arbeta med barn, och jag öppnade också den ideella halfway house.

“Boxning lärde mig att aldrig ge upp oavsett hur hårt det blir. I 2013, Jag förlorade allt för andra gången: mitt företag, min familj, allt…..och jag gick hemlös igen. Men jag gav aldrig upp! Det följande året, när alla sa att det var över för mig, Gud gav mig allt tillbaka gånger två. Jag förlorade byggnaden var jag i, men till slut hittade jag en annan byggnad. Jag hade inga pengar och jag förlorade den byggnad i 2013. Gud gav den tillbaka till mig i 2016, När mannen som köpte den, gav den tillbaka till mig. Nu, Jag har bara två federala och statliga halvvägs hus i Tennessee för särskilda och allmänna populationer med mer än 50 sängar. Jag är mestadels på kapacitet hela tiden med män som har gjort 50 år kalender ner till dem som har gjort fem år.”

Ingram driver Second Chance “Ny början” Halfway House och Homeless Shelter, liksom Team Ingram Boxing & mentorprogram.

Lamont började boxning när han var 14, eftersom han brukade vara allvarligt mobbade till poängen med att ha huvudet slog i en tegelvägg, kastas i en soptunna, och hoppade på upprepade gånger av andra. Ingram mor skickade honom till en boxningstränare, Rayford Collins, som visade sig vara utan tvekan den mest livsförändrande ögonblick av sitt liv.

“Jag gillade boxning,” Lamont ihåg. “Jag var inte den bästa boxare, men jag gjorde slå några bra boxare. Jag var en mycket bestämd ung man, fast. Jag var 58-10 med 35 knockouts som amatör boxare. Jag fick min specialundervisning gymnasieexamen och senare tog jag från Kaplan University med en 3.7 GPA i Business and Chemical Dependency.

“De flesta barn (i boxning program) inte har råd med avgiften till vår sommarläger eller boxning program pågår just nu. Vi ger dem en gratis frukost och lunch. Jag tycker verkligen om detta, men jag skulle aldrig trodde att jag skulle göra vad jag gör.”

Team Ingram Boxing Club & Mentorprogram grundades 2017, efter Ingram långa kamp i samband med att han inte vill något att göra med boxning, eftersom han trodde Gud hade gjort honom orätt för att ta bort från vad han älskade att göra och var bra på, boxning. När hans amatörtränare, Collins, dog i 2016, Lamont beslutat att ta en större roll på gymmet, till den grad att han var där varje dag.

“Av någon anledning jag ville vara en del av det och hjälpa som min coach hade hjälpt rädda mitt liv,” Ingram förklarade. “Boxning hjälpte mig. Min tränare var mycket fast, strikt och mycket disciplinerad, men han har älskat oss och ville bara det bästa för oss. Vi har så många framgångshistorier som sträcker sig från de som ingen kunde hantera, till dem som hade F s i skolan, plus de som hade inget hopp alls. Dessa ungdomar är min värld; Jag ser mig själv och jag vet att förändring är möjlig, eftersom jag bytte.

“Det yttersta målet för mitt program är att ingjuta livskunskap som kommer att gå med varje ung människa under hela deras individuella liv som det har för mig. Jag förstår att alla inte kommer att bli en olympisk mästare, eller göra USA OS-truppen, bli nationellt eller världsmästare. De kan vara en pjäs som sår fröet som aldrig avgår den de sådde det.”

Ingram har varit ett registrerat USA boxning tränare och tjänsteman i tre år. Efter att ha blivit en nivå 2 officiell, Han valdes för att döma den sista dagen av den 2018 östra Qualifier, en sällsynt bedrift för en relativt oerfaren tjänsteman, minst sagt. I 2019, Han bedömde vid Västra Qualifier och rankas Nej. 9 ut ur 100, vilket är en oerhörd prestation för en nivå 2 officiell.

“Boxning räddade mitt liv och det förändrade mitt liv,” Ingram hävdade. “Jag hade en dålig problem ilska. Jag ville inte lyssna och jag var respektlöst att mina föräldrar och auktoriteter. Jag stannade i trubbel, på intensiv skyddstillsyn, eller inlåst i ungdomskvarhållningar centers.

“Jag är en respektfull, ödmjuk och engagerad tjänsteman som älskar boxning och titta på människor att uppnå sina mål. Folk alltid berättade vad jag inte kunde göra; Boxning visade mig vad jag kunde göra.”

Och otaliga unga män och kvinnor i Tennessee och i mitten av South, inte bara Lamont, är mottagare i dag Lamont Ingram är verkligen anmärkningsvärt metamorfos.

I “Rage” med….. Khamzat Dalgiev

M-1 Challenge 95 denna lördag i Ingusjien, Ryssland
Khamzat Dalgiev (R) connects against Ivan Buchinger

SANKT PETERSBURG, Ryssland (Juli 18) – Mästaren M-1 Challenge fjäder Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0) defends his title this Saturday against his American challenger, NateThe TrainLandwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0), i the M-1 Challenge 95: Strid i bergen main event, this Saturday in Ingushetia, Ryssland.

 

 

 

An all-around gifted MMA fighter, Dalgiev got into “Rage” for a one-on-one interview:

 

When did you first start in MMA?

 

 

 

KD: “I started training in judo when I was a child and I really loved it. After one championship, where judges made a few very bad decisions that prevented me from becoming the national champion, I decided to move on. At that time there were no MMA gyms around, so I just watched fight videos and hoped to start fighting one day. After a while a friend of mine told me about an MMA gym opening and I understood this was my chance. I remember staying far away from The Rage at one of the first M-1 Global shows in Ingushetia, dreaming about entering the Rage one day by myself.

 

What did you have to work hardest at to become the fighter you are today?

 

 

 

KD: “In the beginning of my career, the most difficult thing for me was striking, because I only had a wrestling background. But I can say for sure that it is much easier for a wrestler to learn striking than for a striker to learn wrestling. After a few months of hard training, I had my first fight.

 

 

 

In my early fights, I preferred using my wrestling skills to defeat my opponents, but as my striking was getting better, I started using it more and more and really enjoyed it. In the upcoming fight I’d love to add the fourth knockout victory to my record.

 

Can you talk a little about your only pro loss that came in your debut?

 

 

 

KD: “In my debut fight, I fought a much more experienced fighter, Ali Bagov, who had more than 20 pro fights on his record. I did not care about his record because those are just numbers and I have never chosen my opponents. If you want to be the best you have to fight the best.

 

 

 

That loss in my debut fight changed me a lot as a fighter. I gained experience, started training harder and since then, with God’s help, I’ve won 10 fights in a row. Even if I could change it and declined taking that fight, I would never do it because that fight was one of the most important one in my career.

 

What’s the key to your success?

 

 

 

KD: “If you want to succeed, you have to work hard 24/7 and spare no efforts. You have to set a goal and do your best to reach it, clearing all obstacles on your way.

 

Can you look back at your title-winning performance and explain what happened?

 

 

 

In the title fight against Ivan Buchinger, I had great confidence that the title belt will be mine. I was extremely motivated and did not feel his punches. He could deliver one good shot to my head that caused a flash knockdown, but it did not shake me. I did not lose concentration and kept controlling the fight. I was listening to my corner and with their help knocked out the champ.

 

 

 

For that victory the president of Ingushetia Yunus-bek Yevkurov, gave me a generous giftToyota Camryand when I got home that night, I gave it to my mother because I believe that a mother is the most important person in life for any person. I am not always at home, we have no father and my baby brother is too young to help our mom, so mother could use a car to make her life a bit easier.

 

What do you feel about your opponent, Nate Landwehr?

 

KD: “Nate Landwehr is a very aggressive fighter and I love it. He keeps pushing his opponents all the time, no matter what, and even if he eats some punches, he does not stop, and this is exactly the way I fight. Nothing can stop me! Så, I have no doubts our fight is going to be the best fight of the night!

 

 

 

The best victory is the fast victory, so I’d like to finish ‘The Trainearly. Å andra sidan, a tough five-round battle would give me much more experience and a boost to my career. Anyway, I’ll do my best and use any opportunity to finish my opponent. My goal to is to become a better fighter and leave a mark in MMA history!”

SANKT PETERSBURG, Ryssland (Juli 17) – American fighter NateThe TrainLandwehr(10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0) challenges M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0) this Saturday in the M-1 Challenge 95: Strid i bergen main event, this Saturday in Ingushetia, Ryssland.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Clarksville, Tennessee, Landwehr got into “Rage” for a one-on-one interview:

 

How did you get your nickname, ‘The Train”?

 

 

 

NL: “My friend started calling me Nate Train back in late middle school. I added ‘thein there so I could talk shit on the football field in high school, I just liked saying: ‘You just got ran over by the Train!’ When I started fighting is was a no-brainer. I was very good at football and that’s where I fell in love with contact and hard hits.

 

Where does your aggressive behavior, physically and verbally, come from?

 

 

 

NL: “I’ve always been loud and confident. Mer, I loved to show off and talk shit, so I got myself in many, many fights. I was not a bull. I was too small for that, but I would get myself in a situation and have to fight my way out of it.

 

When did your MMA career turn around?

 

 

 

NL: “I was working a full-time job until I lost for the second time in my career. After that loss, Jag slutade mitt jobb, started training full time and haven’t lost since.

 

Who do you give the most credit to in terms of where you’re at right now in MMA?

 

 

 

NL: “My wife, Robyn, is the most important. Without her I would be nothing. She has supported me since day one. Most fighters start off with only themselves believing they could make it, I started with two.

 

How do you feel about fighting in Russia?

 

 

 

NL: I’ve been many places around the world traveling with my wife. Så, I was very happy to be able to go to Russia and get paid for it. Russia is very beautiful and the architecture there is stunning. I’m looking forward to exploring and experiencing more of its land and culture in the future. I recommend going if you’ve never been there!”

 

As your title fight approaches, how do you feel about this title shot?

 

 

 

NL: “I’m looking forward to my title shot it and can’t wait. Reminds me of the movie ROCKY IV. Fans will get a show they will never forget. Many Russian fans do love me and message me personally on social networks saying, I put on the best fights they have seen and thank me for it. My main job is to make believers!”

 

How have you been treated by Russian fans?

 

 

 

NL: “After the last two fights, I have had the biggest lines of fans to take pictures and sign autographs. What makes me special is my passion and heart. You may not remember the whole fight, but you will remember the feeling you had when you see a Nate the Train show!”

 

What do you expect from the champion, Khamzat Dalgiev?

 

 

DL: “I expect a highly motivated man ready to do whatever it takes to keep that title, fighting in front of his fans and in his home country, but it won’t be enough to defeat me. This has Fight of the Year written all over it, followed by Knockout of the Night for me. I am willing to walk through hell to become a world champion and nothing can stop me right now. I’m a man on a mission that started with a boy and his dream.

Bruno Ferreira battles back from cancer; Returns after 3 years of inactivity to fight at “Vägen till M-1: USA”

Augusti 11th worldwide Pay Per View from Nashville

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Juli 16, 2018) – Undefeated Brazilian MMA fighter Bruno Ferreira (8-0-0) returns to action August 11 after successfully battling cancer the past three years.

 

 

The now 30-year-old Ferreira will take on always dangerous Tony Gravely (12-5-0), Virginia, vid “Vägen till M-1: USA”, presented by M-1 Global USA and Angel Fight Promotions.

 

 

 

This is very special for me,” Ferreira said. “Tack Gud. I’ve waited so long for this to happen. People can expect that I will be equal to or better than in my last fight.

 

 

 

The cancer treatment was very severe. I had three surgeries and several cycles of chemotherapy, which was so strong and bad that every cyclelasting from Monday to Fridaywas four to five hours. It seemed like I was dying. I tried to cheer up my mother and wife before each surgery, but the fear inside me was huge. When I woke up, I thanked God that I had survived.

 

 

 

“Vägen till M-1: USA” will air live on worldwide pay-per-view from Global Mall in Nashville, Tennessee. A hybrid ring-cage, “Rage”, will make its debut in America.

 

 

 

Integrerade sportmedier kommer att distribuera “Vägen till M-1: USA” in North America on cable, satellit och digital pay-per-view via iN Demand, Vubiquity, DIRECTV and DISH in the United States, as well as Rogers, SaskTel, and Shaw PPV in Canada, and live-streamed worldwide on the FITE.TV app och webbplats (www.fite.tv), börjar vid 9 p.m. OCH / 6 p.m. PT, för ett rekommenderat pris på endast $19.95.

 

 

 

Georgia middleweight DougYamatoUsher (9-3-0) ansikten ReggieThe Regulator” Fjäder (14-6-0), of Florida, i Main Event. The co-featured event matches Russian lightweight Vadim Ogar (6-3-0) av North Carolina, kontra Yoislandy “Kuba” Izquierdo(11-4-0).

 

 

 

Diagnosed with testicular cancer three years ago, Ferreira’s rise to the top of the MMA world was derailed with his life-threatening medical issue, which severely jeopardized his combat sports career. Sessions of heavy-duty chemotherapy and three surgeries left Ferreira wondering if he’d survive, never mind fight once again.

 

 

 

Although he continued to train, albeit at a much lower level of intensity, he increased the potency of his training after treatments concluded, but he had lost his training rhythm. A restricted diet enabled Bruno to come back strong and now he’s making his post-cancer return in his American debut.

 

 

 

Ferreira does admit that, at one stage, he never thought he’d fight again. “There were a few moments,’ he explained, “especially when I first discovered it. I had a conversation with my brother about my MMA career being over. Han sa: ‘Calm down, you’ll just delay it a little while.The hope of returning to fight gave me strength, but sometimes did cross my mind that I wouldn’t recover from my time off. Thanks to God I came back and today I am about to realize my greatest dream.

 

 

 

Fighting on worldwide pay per view will have an even more special taste because all the people who helped me will be able to watch and see that not only and I’m doing well, I’m doing what I like the most….slagsmål!

 

 

 

I want to grow inside of M-1 Global, in search of a title belt, living to fight. I also want to let others suffering from cancer to know that this disease does not always end in death. They need to have a lot of faith in God and live one day at a time. Wake up, tack; sömn, tack. I heard a lot of bad things, but I didn’t give up. Be thankful for your miracle, I believe mine has already happened.

 

 

 

Other scheduled main-card fights include Georgia flyweight C.J. “The AutobotHamilton (12-6-0) vs. Floridian fighter Abdiel “Mardrömmen” Velazquez (8-5-0), Kentucky welterweight Brandon “The JuggernautBell (5-6-0) vs. JacobTick-TockMcLintock (9-2-0), av Arizona; and Tennessee welterweight James Conway (3-0-0) vs. P.J. Cajigas(5-7-0), Chicago.
