Marie-Eve Dicaire determinou azarão contra Claressa Shields em “Super mulher” PPV nesta sexta à noite

Março 2, 2021 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

MONTREAL (Março 1, 2021) – Azarão invencível Marie-Eve Dicaire, a atual campeã mundial super-meio-médio feminino da IBF, se preparou totalmente fisicamente e mentalmente para o confronto indiscutível desta noite de sexta-feira contra o invicto WBC e WBO detentor do título e autoproclamado GOAT **Claressa Shields**(10-0, 2 KOs).

Uma homenagem ao Dia Internacional da Mulher, “**SUPER MULHER: ESCUDOS VS. DICAIRE”** será transmitido ao vivo nos EUA no InDemand Pay Per View e transmitido ao vivo no FITE.TV, e no Canadá no Canal Indigo, Sino TV, Shaw TV e transmitido ao vivo em FITE.TV e YOOP. a partir de 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT, do Dort Financial Centre em Flint, Michigan. (Para pré-encomendar em FITE.TV ir a www.fitetv / watch / shields-vs-decaire / 2p8qn /).

Dicaire (17-0), um boxeador franco-canadense popular, entende e aprecia plenamente o significado de “SUPER MULHER”, e o que uma vitória desagradável faria por sua marca de construção, particularmente fora de seu Canadá natal.

“Eu me permiti ficar animado,” Dicaire explicou. “Eu sei que é uma luta significativa, mas me assegurei de estar focado na tarefa que preciso realizar e não no resultado da luta. Minha estratégia é baseada em minhas habilidades. Onde ela coloca seu foco é com ela. Ao meu lado, Fiz tudo o que tinha para me preparar para essa luta. E eu sou!

“Eu sempre disse que o boxe é uma paixão, e estou feliz em viver disso,” ela disse. Mas, para mim, É mais do que isso. É uma forma de inspirar as pessoas, para mudar a mentalidade da sociedade. Eu quero alcançar a grandeza para inspirar as pessoas a sonharem grande e é isso que essa luta tem a ver para mim.”

Ano passado, 2-time medalhista de ouro do boxe olímpico Shields, que vai lutar Dicaire em casa em Flint, Michigan, assinou um contrato de vários anos com o promotor de artes marciais mistas PFL. Sua transição para o MMA vai acontecer ainda este ano.

Dicaire, ironicamente, foi campeão mundial amador de caratê antes da transição para o boxe, em que ela derrotou cinco campeões mundiais.

“Meu histórico de caratê sempre foi uma ferramenta poderosa para mim em termos de mentalidade e ética de trabalho,” Dicaire comentou. “Fui construído nas artes marciais e acho que foi isso que me tornou o atleta forte que sou agora.”

Esta sexta-feira noite ***Shields vs. Dicarie*** irá determinar o Não. 1 mulher na divisão super meio-médio, se não em todo o boxe.

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM

Dezembro 10, 2020 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

Boxing’s top female athletes have no “casa”, no network to showcase their talent

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA

NOVA IORQUE — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, foi duas vezes medalhista de ouro olímpico, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “É (boxe) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. Todos três. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.”

“These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” disse Lou DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.”

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” Disse Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.”

“It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” Disse Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.”

“This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.”

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

“Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.”

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, os meios de comunicação, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.

Sa’Rai Brown-El : The future of women’s boxing – 2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Dezembro. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

Novembro 14, 2020 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 9, 2020) – The future of women’s boxing, talvez, is 15-year-oldSa’Rai Brown-El, who has already captured top honors in 11 national and regional tournaments.

Since she started boxing in 2015, Sa’Rai has collected gold medals at the 2019 Junior Open, 2019 PAL Nacional, 2019 & 2017 National Junior Olympics, 2017 Western Regional Open, and Eastern Regional Open in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

“I stayed focused and hungry and, mais importante, humilde,” she spoke about her success in the junior division. “No matter how much you’ve accomplished or the number of accolades you’ve gotten, always stay hungry and always strive for more.”

Boxing started for her when she was 10, training at Lugo Boxing and Fitness in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to that in her native Albany (Nova Iorque), she went to her uncle’s gym and found a pair of boxing gloves.

“I fell in love with boxing when I found that first pair of gloves,” Brown-El explained. “I first started boxing because, naquela hora, my dad didn’t agree with me. I saw a lot of people who didn’t agree with females competing in a male dominated sport, so I wanted to prove those people wrong. I just love boxing because my whole family boxes.”

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely effected most boxers, who were limited in terms of training and sparring, in addition to being shutout of tournaments. Brown-El, contudo, made the best of a bad situation, running miles with her siblings, cardio mitt work with her father, and much more.

Brown-El has her sights firmly set on the 2020 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional, Dezembro 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“I am super excited and super focused on the National Championships,” she added. “I am fighting to get on the USA High Performance Team for my second year. I really want this and I will be working hard every day. My goal for now is to be on Team USA for the second time. I want to fight internationally and be Number 1 in the world.”

Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.

“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 Jogos Olímpicos, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.

“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, sleep, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”

Sa’Rai Brown-El is on a golden path to stardom. She represents the future!

Boxing a family affair for Idaho amateur boxer Kendra Samargis

Outubro 29, 2020 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Outubro 26, 2020) – Idaho middleweight boxer Kendra (Reeves) Samargis‘ decision four years ago to lose weight has led her onto a path to compete in the 2020 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional, Dezembro 5-12, at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Boxing for the 26-year-old Samargis, who lives in Twin Falls, is a real family affair. She’s trained by her husband, Jason, and their two sons, Skyler Bellus (11) and Riley Marovich (8), are in USA Boxing. Skyler, de fato, has competed in several tournaments in which his mother also fought.

“I got into boxing just as a form of weight loss,” Kendra explained. “My husband had been a boxing coach for many years and he still had all of his equipment. We set it up in our garage and started training. No início, starting out was the worst thing I had ever done. The amount of stamina, endurance, and strength that I needed to have was unreal. Slowly over time I lost tremendous weight, 73-pounds to be exact, and I came to love the sport.

“I’m always asked what it’s like to be trained by my husband. I always say I have a secret weapon, someone who is in my corner who wants me to succeed just as much as I do and supports me throughout. Também, in times we’re at tournaments, I am never alone the night before a big fight and if I need a pep talk, he is right there. Agora, my sons competing with me, bem, that’s a different story. Being on the outside of the ring while my boys are competing is by far harder than any fight I have ever had. My mom-side definitely kicks in. No final do dia, embora, I know how well trained they are, and I have to trust that. I don’t work their corners because that’s too close. I would throw in the towel every time. I have to be in the stands.”

Kendra and both of her sons will be competing in Shreveport this year, despite having to train during the COVID-19 pandemic to prepare for the first national tournament of the year in the United States.

“Training during the pandemic has been a blessing for me,” Kendra said. “We now own a gym in town. Assim, during the times we had to close our doors, Meu marido, kids and I were able to keep up with our training regimen. I learned so much during this time. We were actually able to slow things down and work on so many things that get overlooked. We are also very lucky to live in a small town, we only had to keep our gym closed for two months and we’ve been up and running since. I could only image how hard it must be for so many people during these times. We were very blessed to have a gym to get us through.”

Atualmente classificado como não. 10 em 152 pounds and No. 5 em 165, Kendra’s highlights thus far are winning gold medals at the 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier and 2018 Torneio Luvas de Ouro nacionais.

An aggressive boxer who throws punches in bunches, Samargis believes she’s made dramatic improvement in the past years. She admittedly changed many different parts of her game, focusing more on movement, foot and head placements.

Eventualmente, she wants to capture top honors at multiple national tournaments, starting with this year’s Nationals Championship, and eventually turn pro to shoot for a world title. Por enquanto, embora, she’s all in for the Nationals.

“I am my biggest competition for this year’s National Championships,” she concluded. “Every day I want to be the best version of myself and every day I wake up to the haunting possibility I could fall back into the person that I used to be. I have to go to war everyday with myself to keep this person at bay. All of the hours of training, nutrition and mental preparation helps me accomplish this. Every day I can continue to be the best version of myself, focusing only on getting better, then who I compete against won’t matter.

“I am beyond ready and excited for the National Championships this year. With the world coming to a halt this will be my first tournament of the year. I am ready to get back in the ring. Medaling will give me another national title under my belt and sharpen my resume for when I turn pro.”

The first of the all female battles features on the UK #1 e Mundial #27 Ranked Super Flyweight Worksop’s Nicola Hopewell in action against Leeds’ Tasha Boyes.

Back on March 7th, just before the UK went into lockdown, Hopewell secured her #1 UK ranking onBoxRanking.Com via a sensational second round knockout victory over Ghana’s Anita Addy at the Hoops Basketball Centre in Barrow-on-Furness.

As an Amateur Hopewell, a former England Pathway Squad member, shared the ring with a host of top class fighters including Commonwealth Gold Medalist and now undefeated pro boxer Lisa Whiteside and GB boxer Tori Ellis Willetts who is on the pathway for the Olympics. During her time at the Team GB facility in Sheffield Hopewell also sparred with the likes of double Olympic Gold Medalist Nicola Adams as well as WBC International Championship Challenger Nina Bradley and IBO and WBC World Champion Terri Harper.

Hopewell’s opponent on the 15th August will be 28 year old Tasha Boyes from York, who only got into boxing a couple of years ago, after hearing about two sisters whose parents had died in the Manchester Bombing and she wanted to do something to help them in some way, so she decided to participate in a ‘White Collar’ boxing event to raise money for the orphaned sisters. Boyes continued competing successfully on the unlicensed scene, competing in further Charity events to raise funds for those more in need than herself, until earlier this year. On the 15th August Boyes will be making making her professional debut

National Champion 2014-2020 at three different weight classes

East Midlands box cup champion 2018 e 2019.

Em Março 2019 De Almeida travelled to Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra, Gana, where she faced and beat the bookies favourite Malaysian Dolphina Waltertony, to secure the coveted Green WBC Belt.
