Colorado Springs, Lap. (Juni 13, 2019) – Nyligt kronet World Boxing Organization (WBO) super fjervægt mester Jamel “Altid tro” Sild har været en fighter næsten hele sit liv som en U.S.. Marine og elite bokser.
Den 33-årige sild (20-2, 10 KOS), kæmper ud af Cincinnati, er kommet i fuld cirkel, siden han begyndte at bokse i en alder af 15. “Jeg startede, fordi det gik dårligt i skolen, skåret fra basketballholdet,” han forklarede, hvorfor han valgte Sweet Science. “Jeg ville ikke være på gaden. Det var ikke min karakter, så jeg var nødt til at finde noget andet at gøre. En ven introducerede mig til boksning, og jeg holdt fast ved det. Til sidst fik jeg mine karakterer op igen og lavede en høj æresrulle.”
Sild udviklede sig også til en olympisk bokser, mest mens han tjente ni år i USA. Marinesoldater, og selv da han blev udsendt to gange i Irak. Han kompilerede en 81-15 amatør rekord, inklusive top hædersbevisninger på 2011 & 2012 Armed Forces Championships, 2011 US. Olympiske forsøg og 2012 Amerikanske statsborgere guldmedalje, sammen med en sølvmedalje ved 2010 Verdens militære spil. Han var den første aktive amerikanske tjeneste. Marine til at kvalificere sig til US Boxing Team siden 1992, såvel som den første amerikanske. Marine at konkurrere i 2012 OL.
“Jeg boksede lidt under min anden indsættelse i fritiden,” bemærkede han. “Jeg kom tilbage fra min anden indsættelse mod slutningen af 2007 og begyndte at bokse til Marine Corps i 2008. Det meste af min amatørkarriere kom under Marine Corps. Jeg lærte meget at rejse med Marine Corps. Jeg fik set flere stilarter og konkurrerede i nationale turneringer som en marine. De havde også finansieringen til at sende mig.”
Højdepunktet i hans amatørkarriere var at repræsentere sit land på 2012 OL i London som kaptajn for Team USA. Selvom han tabte (19-9) i åbningsrunden til to gange kasakhisk bokser Daniyar Yeleussinov, der vandt guld på 2013 Verdensmesterskaber og senere på 2016 OL, åbnings-olympiske ceremonier var det mest mindeværdige øjeblik i hele hans amatørboksningskarriere af en særlig grund.
“Det var jubilæet for min datters bortgang,” Sagde sild. “Det lod mig vide, uanset hvad, du kan stadig udrette noget, selv gennem op- og nedture.”
Andre medlemmer af 2012 USA Olympic Team Herring som kaptajn inkluderede nutidens verdensmestre i pro rækker som f.eks Errol Spence, Jr., Claressa Shields og Marcus Browne, tidligere verdensmester Rau’Shee Warren, og verdensudfordrere Terrell Gausha, Michael Hunter og Dominic Breazeale.
Sild forbliver tæt på USA Boxing, siger: “USA Boxing hjalp mig på grund af de forhold, jeg skabte, hvoraf mange stadig er i dag. Jeg mødte andre krigere fra hele verden, som jeg havde gode relationer med. Det hjalp mig også med at blive mere af den person, jeg er i dag. At være holdkaptajn lærte mig tålmodighed, fordi jeg havde at gøre med mange personligheder, Jeg bruger stadig disse træk i dag. Og jeg er stadig tæt på mine olympiske holdkammerater i dag.”

“Jamel is the perfect example of resiliency and persistence,” nævnte Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His hard work, offer, og manglende evne til at holde op uanset hvilke forhindringer han støder på, vil fortsat inspirere den næste generation af mestre i mange år. USA Boxing Alumni Association vil takke ham for alt, hvad han har givet til andre, både ind og ud af ringen.”
Intet er nogensinde kommet let for Jamel Herring, især hans bemærkelsesværdige vending efter det tragiske tab af sin spædbarn datter, Ariyanah, der skete tre år dagen før OL-åbningen.
“Min vej var ikke let,” Sild tilføjet, “Jeg havde mine op- og nedture. Jeg er en olympier, men intet blev nogensinde overdraget til mig. Jeg var nødt til at kæmpe for alt, hvad jeg har fået. Dette er min tid!”
Det er det bestemt, især efter at han besejrede den forsvarende WBO superfjervægtmester Masayuki Ito, dette tidligere maj 25, at blive verdensmester. Bevis for at gode ting faktisk sker for gode mennesker.
