Arjan Iseni trening tokom pandemije

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (April 23, 2020) — Amaterski boks, kao u profesionalnim redovima, je ugašen širom svijeta zbog pandemije koronavirusa. Članovi američkog boksa prilagođavaju se ovim izazovnim i teškim vremenima širom zemlje.

Zatvorene su teretane i škole, turniri obustavljeni, i 2020 Ljetne olimpijske igre u Tokiju odgođene su za godinu dana. Članovi elitne kvalifikacije, Omladinski i juniorski timovi visokih performansi više su kod kuće nego na Colorado Springsu, a treniraju u vrhunskom američkom centru za olimpijske i paraolimpijske treninge.

Kako su neki od vodećih SAD-a. amaterski bokseri koji su u ovom periodu živjeli bez borbi?

ELITE OLIMPIJSKI TIM ZA KVALIFIKACIJU

Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, Mičigen), 26-godišnja srednja kategorija, USA Ranking #2
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 National Golden Gloves; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-vrijeme Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks je u samo jednoj kvalifikacijskoj pobjedi službeno postao član 2020 Tim SAD Olimpijski bokserski tim. Iskorištava pauzu, iako, provodeći kvalitetno vrijeme sa suprugom i malom kćerkom.

“

Lično smatram da je ovo prerušeni blagoslov, jer imam više vremena za poboljšanje stvari na kojima su mi treneri iz SAD-a govorili da radim. Živim u stanu u Lansingu (MY), ali boravio sam s mamom u Grand Rapidsu kako bih mogao komotno trenirati. To je na neki način čudno, ali nedostaje mi udaranje. Pokušavao sam se prilagoditi novom normalnom, ali jedva čekam da se vratim u trening centar (Colorado Springs).

“Volim što svoju kćer mogu viđati svaki dan kako bih joj ukazao svu pažnju, ali ona joj nedostaje toliko koliko i meni. Moja supruga i majka su mi pružale veliku podršku. Vjerujem da će me čekanje još godinu dana poboljšati samo dok Olimpijske igre budu ovdje.”

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohajo), 22-godišnja velter kategorija, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2020 Olimpijski timski pokusi, 3-vrijeme Elite državno prvenstvo (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 National PAL. International: 2020 Turnir u Strandji & 2019 Panameričke igre

Jones je bio na listi koji je vodio do odloženog kvalifikacija za Ameriku da zaključa mjesto na listi 2020 Tim SAD Olimpijski bokserski tim. Trenirala je u porodičnoj teretani u Toledu, kao i uključivanje više u usluge i funkcije zajednice.



“Nisam se prilagodio životu bez boksa, jer boks nikada neće napustiti moj život. Moja porodica / treneri imaju teretanu povezanu s našom kućom u kojoj živimo. Boks nije sport, to je stil života .

“Srce mi je palo kad sam prvi put čuo da su Olimpijske igre odgođene. Sve na čemu radim u osnovi čitav svoj život je na pauzi do sledećeg jula. Ne znam kako se osjećam niti kako da izrazim kako se osjećam. Jedino što mogu je pokušati ostati motiviran.”


EKIPA ZA VISOKE PERFORMANSE OMLADINE

Arjan Iseni (Staten Island, Njujork), 17-jednogodišnjak u poluteškoj kategoriji, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Državno prvenstvo za mlade, Eastern Regional Open & Youth Open

Iseni živi u epicentru Koronavirusa, Staten Island, Njujork. On i njegov otac sagradili su mali prsten u svom dvorištu (pogledajte sliku ispod) jer nije mogao trenirati ni u jednoj teretani.

“Teško je znati da ove godine neću moći predstavljati Tim SAD ni na jednom međunarodnom turniru. Ovo mi je zadnja godina kao omladinskog boksera, ali jako sam trenirao tokom karantene, i bit ću spreman za sve što slijedi za mene.

“Teško je znati da se neću uskoro boriti, ali ovo mi daje više vremena da popravim male nedostatke u svojoj igri, i vratit ću se jači kad se sve ovo završi. Nadajmo se, sve se vraća u normalu uskoro, tako da se mogu vratiti aktivnim borbama i nadam se da ću tim SAD-a postati Elite bokserom.”


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Havaji), 17-muha od godinu dana, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Državno prvenstvo za mlade & Western Regional Open; 2018 Državno prvenstvo za mlade & Western Regionals Open; 2017 Državne juniorske olimpijske igre & National Golden Gloves

Patricio živi najdalje od trening kampa i svojih saigrača, ali njena porodica posjeduje teretanu za boks, a trening / sparing joj nije problem jer ima osmero braće i sestara.



“U karanteni smo i prilagodio sam se životu bez borbi nastavljajući trenirati u svojoj ličnoj teretani sa svojom braćom i sestrama. Trening nam nije predstavljao problem jer imamo vlastitu teretanu. Saniramo svu opremu i teretanu prije i nakon treninga. Budući da uskoro nema borbi, pooštravali smo svoje vještine i izgrađivali više znanja Stekli smo snagu i održavali izdržljivost. Vikendima, moj otac vozi bicikl dok trčimo u krugovima kako bismo se sunčali, a ponekad radimo sprint vježbe vani.

“Naša porodica je bokserska porodica koja je započela s mojim tatom dok je bio boksač. Počeo je da me trenira, samo za odbranu, ali je počelo da postaje ozbiljno u 2015 kada sam osvojio svoj prvi turnir u Kansasu. Svi moji ostali braća i sestre također su boksači i također su višestruki prvaci. Moja braća i sestre dobivamo tonu porodičnog vremena boraveći zajedno kod kuće. Ova karantena nas je još više zbližila. Naša veza nas čini jačima pojedinačno i jedinstveno. Daleko sam od treninga u Colorado Springsu, ali moji suigrači udaljeni su samo telefonskim pozivom. U stanju sam da ostanem u kontaktu i to je jako zagrijavanje. Neki od trenera provjeravaju me kako bih vidio kako mi ide. Radovao sam se svim turnirima na kojima sam se planirao boriti i razočaran sam što su odgođeni, ali imam više vremena da se još bolje pripremim za svoju sljedeću borbu.”

JUNIOR TIM VISOKOG UČINKA

Steven Navarro (Los Anđeles, Kalifornija) 16-muha od godinu dana, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Junior državno prvenstvo & National PAL; 2018 Junior državno prvenstvo; 2017 Prep Open & Western Regional Open

Navarro je trenirao u Colorado Springsu kako bi se pripremio za međunarodno takmičenje u Bugarskoj, ali putovanje je otkazano dva dana prije nego što su Navarro i njegovi suigrači trebali krenuti.



“Kao član boksačkog juniorskog tima SAD-a, Radujem se svakoj borbi / turnir, jer bi mi mogao biti zadnji. Tako me je potreslo srce kad sam bio obaviješten da su naše borbe u Bugarskoj i buduće međunarodne borbe otkazane zbog ove pandemije. Nastavljam raditi koliko i redovno: buđenje u 5 ujutro, trčanje 5-6 milja u obližnjim brdima, naravno da nosim moju masku. Dolazim kući da pohađam predavanja na mreži 9 od 14:00, što mi drijema 2 sata prije odlaska u privatnu teretanu. Ja sam jedina osoba koja svakodnevno trenira u svojoj teretani 4:30 poslije podne. Jednom kad dođem u teretanu, Počinjem se istezati 3 kruga (3-minutne runde), kutija za sjene za 5-7 kruga, onda sam pogodio pet vrsta boksačkih vreća (3 rundi svaka). Poslije, Radim rukavice (5-8 kruga) gdje se fokusiram na različite pokrete i situacije koje bi se mogle dogoditi u borbi. Često udaram u dvostruku torbu i brzinsku torbu 3 kruga. Završavam trening boksa sa 15 min. konopca za skok.

“Treniram svakodnevno za 2 sati sa mojim ocem / trenerom Refugiom Navarrom. Ova se pandemija pomalo kocka zbog toga što nema pristup sparingu. Ja se obično krećem’ sa ocem jednom sedmično, ali iskustvo je drugačije. Jednom završen, Upućujem se baki i djedu’ kuća (samo jedan blok od moje kuće) da se potrudim i pripremim. Nosim masku i rukavice dok radim tamo. Moj djed je bodybuilder i u garaži ima uređenu teretanu. Dobar sat vježbam s djedom, stalno dezinficirati svu opremu, da završim svoj dan. Radim sa onim što imam, što je blagoslov. Boks nije sezonski sport, morate biti spremni tokom cijele godine na sve, i to je ono što nastavljam da radim dok težim veličini.”

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Teksas), 14-jednogodišnja bantam kategorija, USA Ranking #2
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Istočna regija



Chavez je prva godina članica Junior High Performance Team-a, a njen početni trening kamp u Colorado Springsu odgurnut.

“Prilagođavanje ovom novom načinu života nije bilo najlakše. Zahvalan sam što imam svoju porodicu, kao što smo svakodnevno trčali i vježbali u parkovima. Moja porodica razumije važnost mog atletizma i održavanja kondicije, zbog čega nastavljamo motivirati jedni druge u ovo teško vrijeme. Nisam sigurna kada će se naši životi vratiti u normalu, zbog čega sam i dalje u svakom trenutku spreman.

“Ono čemu se najviše radujem u kampu u Colorado Springsu je susret s drugim mlađim ženkama u timu, kao i učenje različitih stilova koje donose. Takođe se radujem stvaranju veza između mojih novih saigrača i trenera iz cijele države.”

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

Ostavite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Februar 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.”

Za sada, iako, 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, Argentina.

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, Maj 13-14, u Parizu, 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, 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, uključujući, for example, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., iMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.

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

2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing Women’s Field Finalized

Ostavite komentar
COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Novembar 22, 2019) — Following four qualifying tournaments that began in December 2018, the field of 40 elite female boxers who will compete next month at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing in Lake Charles, The. is final. A total of 117 elite female boxers competed throughout the year for the 40 available spots. Only ten will advance from the trials competition to the next stage of the selection process and the opportunity to represent Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Here is a closer look at the field in the five weight classes.

Flyweight/112 lbs./51 kg

2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing champion Virginia Fuchs (Houston, Teksas) fell short of advancing to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games during the international qualification but has dominated the flyweight division ever since. Having won eight international medals since those trials, Fuchs could face her biggest competition from the young talent of Heaven Garcia (El Monte, Kalifornija). Garcia, a two-time World Champion in the junior and youth divisions, has been the one to watch for many years, and these trials could be her coming out party in the elite division. Međutim, Christina Cruz (Paklena Kuhinja, N.Y.), two-time Elite World Championship bronze medalist, will bring experience to her third U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing that will be tough for any boxer that she faces. Mariana Gonzalez (Sunnyvale, Kalifornija) stood atop the podium at the Western Elite Qualifier, while runner-up Jazzelle Bobadilla (Ewa Beach, Havaji) has international experience on her side that can help her to upset this division. Jasmine Hampton (Ann Arbor, Mičigen) was victorious at the Last Chance Qualifier to punch her ticket to Lake Charles, sa Lina Vezzani (Brooklyn, N.Y.) i Stephanie Chavez (Orange, Kalifornija) rounding out the flyweight division.


Featherweight/125 lbs./57 kg

Expected to be the most competitive weight class in the women’s field, the featherweight division has numerous boxers looking to advance to the next stage of the selection process. Five of the eight boxers have World Championship medals, with the last three boxers having impressive performances at their qualifiers. Yarisel Ramirez (Las Vegas, Nevada) won a silver at the 2015 Junior World Championships, as well as a bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games in her first year in the elite division. Two-time Youth World Championships bronze medalists Isamary Aquino (Universal City, Teksas) leads the way in the medal count and will look to continue making a name for herself. Lupe gutierrez(Sacramento, Kalifornija) i Iyana Verduzco (Los Anđeles, Kalifornija) won gold medals in their World Championship debuts, with Gutierrez winning at the 2015 Junior World Championships and Verduzco at the 2018 Youth World Championships. Mikiah Kreps(Nijagarini vodopadi, N.Y.) won the bronze medal at this October’s Elite World Championships in her international debut, and will be using the confidence from that performance in Lake Charles. Andrea Medina (San Dijego, Kalifornija) impressed many in Reno, defeating numerous World Championship medalists on her way to the title, dok Destiny Jasso(Dallas, Teksas) i Melanie Costa (Norton, Masačusets) survived a tough bracket out of the Eastern Elite Qualifier to advance to these trials.

Lightweight/132 lbs./60 kg

Rashida Ellis (Lynn, Masačusets) enters the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials with confidence on her side, after an impressive 2019 run that included bronze medals at the 2019 Pan American Games and World Championships. Amelia Moore (Aleksandrija, Virdžinija) i Stacia Suttles(Bronx, N.Y.) both have World Championship experience, as well as winning international performances to be strong contenders to take the title and advance to the next stage of the qualification to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Ravven Brown (San Antonio, Teksas) recently made her international debut at the 2019 Elite World Championships and had a quick rise to success in her short boxing career. Kimberly Carlson (Chicago, Ilinois) iWhitney Gomez (Bend, Sati.) left the Western and Last Chance Qualifiers golden, dokJennifer Lopez (Jersey City, N.J.) i Rebecca Maine (Pittsburg, Pa.) round out the field following their silver medal performances in Ohio and California.

Welterweight/152 lbs./69 kg

Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohajo) made history this year with her gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games and looks to be one of the favorites for the welterweight division. The comeback of a few boxers and the rise of some up and comers will make this another exiting weight class to watch. Two boxers who recently came back to the sport and looking to shake things up are Danyelle Wolf (San Dijego, Kalifornija) i Mary Spencer (Boulder, Colo.). Vuk, a three-time USA Boxing National Champion and two-time Continental Champion made her return to the ring in impressive fashion in Reno this year, while Spencer, who is a dual-citizen, represented Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games and won three World Championships under the Canadian flag, won the Eastern Qualifier to punch her ticket to the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing. Sharahya Moreu (Albuquerque, N.M.) may be the youngest in the division at 20-years-old but has a great deal of experience and will use that against her elder opponents. Briana Che (Madison, WISC.), Arika Skoog(Boston, Masačusets) i Jill Stafford (La Mesa, Kalifornija) all won silver medals in their respective qualifying competitions and could easily surprise many in Lake Charles, dok Liz Flores(Woodland Hills, Kalifornija) grabbed the last spot to compete after Morelle McCain decided to compete in the middleweight division following her qualifying in both weight classes.

Middleweight/165 lbs./75 kg

Since the departure of two-time Olympic Champion Claressa Shields to the professional ranks, Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.) has been the leader for Team USA in the middleweight division, winning multiple international medals including a silver at the 2019 Pan American Games and a bronze at the 2018 World Championships. 2017 Mladih svjetski prvak Citlalli Ortiz (Coachella, Kalifornija) put on a dominating performance at the recent Last Chance Qualifier, including two wins by RSC, and will be looking to continue her winning ways into Lake Charles, dok Morelle McCane (Klivlend, Ohajo) had an impressive 2019, taking a bronze in her international debut earlier this year. Alexis Gomez(South San Francisco, Kalifornija) i Kendra Reeves (Twin Falls, Ajdaho) picked up titles at the Western and Eastern Qualifiers to punch their tickets to Louisiana and will be looking to have another victorious tournament, dok Fallon Farrar (Colorado Springs, Colo.),Melody Popravak (Brooklyn, N.Y.) i Rachael Washington (Njujork, N.Y.) took the silver medals at the three qualifying tournaments and will hope to improve their performances in Lake Charles.

Ostavite komentar

Legendary globe trotting Championship referee Mickey Vann will be making one of his shortest international journeys in a long while, this coming weekend, when he officiates the first Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) sanctioned event in Scotland, the Stewart Allan promoted event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw on Saturday 25th April 2015.

 

Vann, who has been the MBC’s chief referee since 2013, has been officiating for close to forty years, the first bout he refereed was Eddie Smith versus Joe Jackson at the Anglo American Sporting Club in Manchester on the 11thOktobar 1976.

 

It would be some seven years later before Vann refereed his first domestic Championship bout, the BBBofC Central Area Featherweight Title fight between Steve Pollard and Steve Farnsworth at the Tiffany’s Nightclub in Hull on the 29th Mart 1983.

 

Three years later Vann refereed his first International Championship contest, the Commonwealth Lightweight Title fight between Zimbabwe’s Langton Tinago and Australia’s Graeme Brooke at the Granada Studios in Manchester on 23rd Avgust 1986.

 

With numerous British, Commonwealth and European title contests under his belt on the 8th Jun 1990 Vann refereed his first World Championship bout, the WBC World Minimumweight title fight between Japan’s Hideyuki Ohashi and Thailand’s Napa Kiatwanchai in Tokyo, Japan.

 

To date Vann has refereed one hundred and forty three International, Inter-Continental and World title contests for the World Sanctioning Organisations, such as WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU etc as well as an even higher number of European, Komonvelt, British and Irish domestic title fights during his eight hundred and eighty two bout career to date.

 

The most recent of these bouts being the WBO Inter-Continental Cruiserweight title fight between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Russian Andry Knyazev, which took place in Kiev just last weekend.

 

In addition Vann has also judged one hundred and seventy three Championship contests since 1978, taking his officiating career total to an incredible one thousand and fifty five contests, sorry make that one thousand and fifty six contests if we include the upcoming event this weekend.

 

Shortly after returning from Kiev, the effervescent Vann spoke briefly about his career and the upcoming event he is to officiate in Scotland u subotu.

 

“What can I say I didn’t realise I’d refereed that many fights,

 

My most memorable fight would naturally be Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno at Cardiff Arms Park, that was history.

 

But have refereed so many memorable fights, where do I start, Shea Neary and Mickey Ward, now that was a great fight.

 

There’s some from years ago I can remember, like Jean-Marc Renard against Farid Benredjeb, oh what a war that was, they both ended up in hospital.

 

Another memorable fight was Cassius Boloyi against Phillip Ndou, It was a war, apsolutni rat

 

They were two South Africans but from different tribes, they wanted me to referee it, not a South African, which was very much appreciated.

 

I remember refereeing the WBC mandatory Lightweight title fight, between Leavander Johnson and Miguel Angel Gonzalez, in a bullring, which was an experience.

 

I refereed in America Jorge Paez and Angel Manfredy, that was a terrific fight, in fact refereed three or four times in America.

 

I think if you count them all I think I refereed in thirty nine different countries, I left school at seven and went back at thirteen and left again at fourteen and I didn’t know at that time that there were that many countries in the world. Nisam, pošteno.

 

I just enjoy what I do, you know I’ve been to Russia, Argentina, Japan, all over, I just got back from Kiev.

 

People come up for photographs, even in Kiev, with Mickey the dancer and then they pretend they are you moving about, it’s lovely.

 

I pick out nothing really, I just pick out what has been the big fights that I’ve enjoyed.

 

I qualified as a star grade referee in 1978 and I’m still going, I’d done hundreds of fights by then, it’s not a job really, it’s just enjoyment as such.

 

I wasn’t a very good pro fighter, I was a pretty good amateur, I had sixty six fights as an amateur and lost nineteen, but you used to have three fights a day in the Championships, you fought in the morning, won that you fought in the afternoon and if you won that you fought at night to get through to the next round, in the Army Championships and the boys clubs sort of thing, that’s what we all did.

 

As a pro I have fourteen fights but I lost nine, but I enjoyed it, I’m glad I turned pro and I’m glad I fought, I’m glad I fought amateur and pro and I missed it when I retired and I wanted to do something and my manager suggested I referee, I wanted to coach but Tommy Miller, my manager said to me ‘Jesus Mick what could you teach anyone’, so he said to me you want to be a referee, so I put in for it and it took me two years and I qualified.

 

I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and some times have been better than others, in fact they used to hate me in Scotland, they thought I hated the Scots. I heard this on the radio many times.

 

Alex Morrison will tell you, he thought I was hater of Scotsmen, Ja nisam bio, just they never seemed to get the verdict from me, so it’s quite ironic that ove subote it’s the Scottish promoter and the Scottish boxers that asked for me for this show.

 

I’ve always had great fun there and my all time favourite fighter is a Scotsman, Ken Buchanan, so it’s really nice that they want me to be there for the first MBC sanctioned event there, I can’t wait.”

 

Mickey Vann will be the referee for both the Sandy Robb versus Mathew Ellis and Scott Allan versus Isaac Quaye that co-headline the Stewart Allan (Rivali Promocije) event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw, Škotska je u subotu 25th April 2015.

 

Ulaznice po cijeni 30 £ i £ 40 su dostupni izravno iz bilo kojeg od boksera učešće, ili nazovite na Stewart 07711 725257.
