klase sa 2019 ceremonykarong Biyernes sa Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino sa Lake Charles, Louisiana
Colorado Springs, Lap. (Disyembre 11, 2019) -Senator John McCain will be posthumously presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport this Friday night at a special ceremony during the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino sa Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the ongoing 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 National Championships at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, sa Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein gikan sa Showtime Sports ang magsilbing emcee sa maong kalihukan sa ikatulong sunodsunod nga tuig.
The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, "Daghang" George Foreman, Mark Brelandug"Smokin'" Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell ugRay Rodgers.
The late Sen. McCain boxed at the U.S. Naval Academy, where the 5’ 7” lightweight competed three years as a fearless boxer who reportedly always came forward, never reversing gears. In his final year, he managed the battalion boxing team to a brigade championship.
“Our family believes our father would accept this award graciously as a very high honor,” daughterMegan McCain said on behalf of the McCain family. “The courage, character and action needed to step into the ring is something he felt very strongly about.
“He learned many life lessons through boxing, including the value of fitness, disiplina, individual performance training and operating as part of a team. Boxers run up against opposition they have no idea how to attack or defend against, yet they figure it out and learn about themselves, as well as develop endurance during the process.”
“Senator McCain was a true ally to the sport, having personally understood the courage and risk-taking required from those who enter the ring,"MiingonChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. Throughout his career in politics, USA Boxing communicated with his office numerous times as part of a collaborative effort to safeguard the future of Olympic style, amateur boxing, and Senator McCain never hesitated to offer to do more for our athletes. For this and many other reasons, the USA Boxing Alumni Association looks forward to honoring his legacy this weekend.”
