COLORADO SPRINGS, Vạt áo. (Tháng tám 4, 2025) - Thứ bảy trước, the United States closed out the 2025 Brandenburg Cup in Frankfurt (Oder), Đức, in dominant fashion. After qualifying seven athletes for gold medal rounds, all seven Team USA boxers finished the day with their hands raised after the final bell. All told, the USA secured 11 medals for the week, including seven gold and four bronze.

Joscelyn Olayo-Munoz (women’s 48 kg | Las Cruces, N.M.) and Alexis Tangaro (women’s 54 kg | Waianae, Hawaii) were the two Team USA women’s gold medalists on Saturday. Lorenzo Patricio (men’s 50 kg | Waianae, Hawaii), Salim Ellis-Bey (men’s 60 kg | Philadelphia, Pa.), Lavant Brownlee (men’s 65 kg | Louisville, Ky.), Joseph Awinongya (men’s 80 kg | Joliet, Ill.) and Nnajai Wright (men’s 90+ kg | Richmond, Va.) found their way atop the podium on the USA men’s side.

Olayo-Munoz opened the day with a flawless performance in the opening bout. She stayed on the attack against her Italian opponent, Amelia Sula, and showed her ability to be the aggressor and deal out punishment throughout the bout. Olayo-Munoz blanked Sula and ultimately earned the unanimous decision victory to earn her first international medal and set the tone for the day for Team USA.

Tangaro checked into the ring two bouts later and followed suit with a 5-0 victory of her own over Lithuania’s Jelizaveta Jakimova. The Waianae, Hawaii, product was poised in the pocket and landed her shots with precision to score the unanimous decision and earn her second win of the tournament. The medal marks the first international honor of her amateur career.

Patricio stepped back into the ring with an extra day of rest behind him and put that additional recovery to good use in his 50-kg title bout. He flustered Australia’s Taj Harrington with his movement and danced around the ring, picking his shots as he circled his foe. As he typically does, Patricio turned up the volume of his attacks throughout the bout and ultimately closed it out with a 5-0 thắng lợi. After receiving his gold medal, Patricio was also named the Best Technician of the tournament after racking up three wins over the final three days.

Ellis-Bey bullied his Azerbaijan opponent, Babayev Subhan, for three rounds before ultimately scoring the 5-0 thắng lợi, marking his fourth victory of the week. The Philadelphia, Pa., native applied heavy pressure throughout the bout and damaged his opponent with several heavy-handed shots. Ellis-Bey closed out his first international tournament and claimed the medal that he focused on throughout his 2025 preparations.

Awinongya is no stranger to international success and claims his latest medal after earning three wins throughout the week.

Wright closed the show with an outstanding performance for the United States in the 90+ kg showdown against Germany’s Ahmed Abdulgamidov. While Abdulgamidov held an incredible reach advantage over Wright, the Richmond, Va., native had a strategic game plan in place to pick his German foe apart. Wright once again utilized his agility to find his way inside his opponent’s defense and subsequently landed a flurry of damaging uppercuts. While Abdulgamidov looked strong in the first round, Wright was able to wear him down and drag him into deep waters throughout the second and third rounds. Cuối cùng, Wright closed the bout with a 3-0 phán quyết, regaining favor from the judges after falling behind early in the bout.

The USA Boxing Youth High Performance team has successfully concluded its international schedule for 2025. Of the 13 athletes in competition at the Brandenburg Cup, 11 left with medals.

Achieving this rare distinction is notably challenging, as Brooklyn has produced world heavyweight champions such as Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, và Shannon Briggs—all members of a special group within boxing’s premier division. With the exception of Briggs, each has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Taylor posted a 60-11 kỷ lục amateur, won two New York Golden Gloves titles, and finished as heavyweight runner-up four times at the USA Boxing National Championships. As a professional prize fighter, the 28-year-old Taylor has put many of his opponents to sleep, much like his Brooklyn predecessors, kể ra 6 stoppages in his 8 diêm, the last four in a row.

“The Pryce is Right” has been training at Brooklyn’s Cops & Kids Boxing Gym with head trainer Benny Roman. Taylor also trained for three weeks in Delray Beach, Florida, with trainer Sugar Hill, focusing on movement and sparring. “It definitely helped,” Taylor said. “There was good sparring there, and it was a good experience overall.”

Taylor values the exposure from fighting on a Salita Promotions card headlined by unbeaten, undisputed heavyweight champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 Kos), người phải đối mặt Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) ở Detroit. Trước, Taylor stopped Jerell Nettles in round two on a Shields-headlined event.

“This time will be different,” Taylor pointed out. “My last fight on Claressa’s card, I was in the opening bout, off-TV, and nobody was there. I had a good seat to watch her fight, and I met her. But I’m on the main card and my fight will be streamed live on DAZN this time.”

In his first scheduled 8-round bout, Taylor will take on Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 Kos) from Saginaw, Michigan. Two fights prior, Simms defeated previously unbeaten James McKenzie Morrison (20-1-2, 18 Kos), who is the son of the late world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison.

“I’ve heard my opponent comes to fight,” Taylor concluded. “I really like fighting an opponent like that instead of the guys who don’t stand and fight. I also like fighting at this pace (7 weeks since his last fight) because I love boxing. Tôi đã và đang đào tạo cho 8 vòng, but it’s not going the distance. I don’t see him lasting four rounds, if that.”

“I’ve kept Pryce very busy because to become a great from Brooklyn, you better be tough, talented and able to work for it,” Pryce’s manager Keith Sullivan phát biểu. “He has had eight fights in just nineteen months as a pro, and three fights fell out due to opponent injuries. That’s an old-school pace I am keeping him on. Not every fighter can handle that rate of fighting, Pryce eats it up. He can reach the upper echelon. It will take continued hard work.

“The last time he fought on Clarissa’s card, we walked into an empty arena. I leaned into him and said, ‘Enjoy the silence, soon enough you will be entering into jeering packed arenas.’ And on July 26th that will come true.”

Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 Kos) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweight Jim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

NEW YORK CITY (Tháng bảy 15, 2025) - Ba-thời gian, two-division World ChampionMiyo Yoshida (18-5) is tired of waiting for her mandated International Boxing Federation (IBF) Bantamweight world title shot as its No. 1-rated mandatory challenger.

Yoshida won the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Flyweight title in 2019 và 2021. Vào tháng 12 9, 2022, she fought in San Francisco as a late replacement on only two weeks’ nhận thấy, impressively defeating IBF Bantamweight World titleholderEbanie Bridges (9-1) by unanimous decision over 10 vòng (99-91, 99-91, 97-93).

Với chiến thắng này, Johnson also scooped up the vacated World Boxing Council (WBC) và Tổ chức Thế giới Boxing (WBO) danh hiệu thế giới.

When Metcalf defeated Yoshida, it was with highly questionable tallies of 99-91, 97-93, và 96-94.

I applaud the IBF for recognizing that Yoshida deserves the opportunity to regain her belt. We will continue to push for Miyo to get her title shot as soon as possible, and I am confident that we can work out a deal with MVP. They are in the business of making the best fights in women’s boxing. Undisputed Champ Cherneka Johnson vs. Miyo is a terrific match,” said Lou DiBella, President of DIBELLA Entertainment.

“Lou has done a great job keeping Miyo active and creating great opportunities for her. The time is here for Miyo’s title match to finally get scheduled. May mắn thay, Jake and Nakisa are helping to change the landscape for women in boxing under their MVP banner,” stated Miyo’s manager, Keith Sullivan. “Congratulations to Cherneka, who fought a great fight and made history. The styles of Miyo and Johnson will make for an exciting, chiến fan thân thiện. We have two promoters who firmly support women’s boxing, so I am confident we will get that title fight scheduled as soon as possible,” concluded Sullivan.

From ringside Friday night, Miyo said, “Johnson had the perfect fight plan. I respect her, but we’ll have a more intense fistfight. Như vậy, let’s finally get my mandatory title fight scheduled. We’ll see in the ring who deserves to raise the belt as the IBF bantamweight champion.”
