USA ווס. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 אין באָסטאָן

Fightin’ איריש” boxing history
Rich in Boston
קאָלאָראַדאָ ספּרינגס, שויס. (פעברואַר 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ איריש” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, נאָך די Great Potato Famine.
Many Irish and Irish-American boxers have fought in the Greater Boston area, some born and others resettling there. This rich tradition continues next month in a different way when the three-city 2018 USA ווס. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off מאָנטיק, מאַרץ 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district. The Boston stop, which is being presented by Budweiser, will have general admission tickets for $20.00 and a limited amount of $30.00 reserved tickets go on sale today (מאָנטיק, פעברואר. 12) בייַ 12 פּ.ם. און are available to purchase online here.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue מאַרץ 15 ביי די מאַססמוטואַל צענטער אין Springfield, מאַסע., concluding מאַרץ 21 at The Manchester Downtown Hotel in New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 פּ.ם. EST און טיקיץ וועט זיין געמאכט בנימצא פֿאַר קויפן אין די קומענדיק וואָכן. יעדער שטאָט וועט וויטרינע אַרויף צו 12 ענדס, which will all be live streamed, פּאָטער פון אָפּצאָל, אויף USA באָקסינג ס וועבזייַטל (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19טה century with The Boston Strongboy,” יוחנן. ל. Sullivan (Roxbury, מאַ), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the firstglovesworld heavyweight champion and finalbare knucklesheavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 פון 38 פּראָ פיגהץ, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, דזשייק קילראַין (29-5-8, 17 קאָס), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19טה and beginning of the 20טה centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 קאָס), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 קאָס), and Charlestown welterweight מייק “TwinSullivan(28-6-16, 17 קאָס), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 קאָס)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “איריש” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 קאָס) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, אָבער, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 קאָס), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion פלויד Patterson, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident פעטרוס “הוראַגאַן” McNeeley (47-7, 30 קאָס) famously was stopped in the opening round by “ייַזן” מייק טיסאָן in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. אין 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 קאָס), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to מייק מקקאַללום for the World Boxing Association (וובאַ) Super Middleweight World Championship.
סטיוו “Celtic WarriorCollins (25-2-1, 18 קאָס) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody און Pat Petronelli, who handled ווונדערלעך מאַרווין האַגלער throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (וובאָ) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collinsyounger brother, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion קעווין “The Clones ColossusMcBride (35-10-1, 29 קאָס), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, בילי וואַלש, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, ריספּעקטיוולי, אין 1988 און 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, WaynePocket RocketMcCullough (27-7, 18 קאָס), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (וובק) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to דניאל זאַראַגאָוזאַ.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and דזשאַק דעמפּסי, is Lowell junior welterweight “איריש” מיקקי וואַרד (38-13, 27 קאָס), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with אַרטוראָ גאַטטי, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as גערי “נאָגל” אָוסאַלאַוואַן and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “מאַכט” Doheny (18-0, 13 קאָס), as well as undefeated rising stars such as StingRay Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 קאָס).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.

Is USA Boxing Nationals Champion Jared Anderson America’s next great heavyweight?

קאָלאָראַדאָ ספּרינגס, קאָלאָראַדאָ (דעצעמבער 21, 2017) – Christmas came early for Jared Anderson, who not only won the heavyweight title at the recent USA Boxing National Championships, the 18-year-old also captured the Most Outstanding Boxer Award in the Elite Division.
Seeded No. 7 in an eight-boxer field at The Nationals, Anderson, in order, defeated No. 2 Jesus Flores אין די עפן קייַלעכיק, 5-0, edged No. 3 Adrian Tillman אין די סעמיפיינאַלז, 3-2, and upset five-time national champion Cam F. Awesome, 5-0, אין די טשאַמפּיאַנשיפּ לעצט.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (נאוועמבער. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 און 2, ריספּעקטיוולי, Flores is No. 5, and Anderson is unranked.
I think that’s going to change,” Anderson noted. “Winning the heavyweight title and Most Outstanding Boxing Award meant the world to me. Maybe some people had never heard of me, but I’ve been boxing since I was eight, and I’ve faced a lot of different styles.
I had a vendetta going with Tillman and, instead of boxing, I tried to take his head off. Simple work allowed me to beat Awesome. He is a good fighter. Cam does what he wants in the ringthrows jabs, sits there and builds up pointsand intimidates some opponents. I took the fight to him. Not wild, כאָטש, because he’d have been there in the ring, calm and smiling, and I would have lost. I used my jab more than anything against him.
One of 11 siblings in two households, Anderson is another USA Boxing success story. Growing up in Toledo, אָהיאָ, Anderson was constantly getting into trouble in school and boxing eventually saved him. His mother convinced her son to meet a local boxing coach, who introduced Jared to boxing, drilling discipline into him, something Jared desperately needed at that point in his young life.
Boxing in Toledo has also aided his overall development in boxing. “We push each other,” Anderson explained. “We support each other and perfect our crafts. There’s a lot of support here at all the gyms in Toledo.
Anderson represented Team USA at this past August’s 2017 Bradenburg Cup in Frankfurt, דייַטשלאַנד, at which Anderson won the heavyweight title, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer Award, which should have been a warning for other leading U.S. כעוויווייץ.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, יוז. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. צוקער Ray לעאָנאַרד – “פעסט הענט, גיכקייַט, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. עוואַנדער האָליפיעלד – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.מוכאַמאַד עלי — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.
רעכט איצט, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 לבס., but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. לעסאָף, he wants to be heavyweight champion of the world, but Jared does have a plan.
I want to stay as active as possible next year, competing in tournaments, and turn pro but not until after the (2020) אָלימפּיקס,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) אָלימפּיקס. I want to win a gold medal, turn pro and win the world heavyweight title, so I can move my mother out of the ‘hood.
Remember the name, boxing fans, Jared Anderson has the potential to be America’s next great heavyweight.
