A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Luwas nga mga bata Johnson County. “This will be a special event celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Turner Boxing Academy,” explained Turner, who is Romero’s manager/head trainer. It’s a tough homecoming fight for Marco.”

The primary sponsor of this event is McCarthy Auto Group. “I’m elated to support the Turner Boxing Academy’s 20th anniversary event,” McCarthy Auto Group founder and owner Juan McCarthy mikomentaryo. “This is clearly a reputable organization and non-profit. I’ve been impressed with Marco Romero and recognize how pivotal early support can be in shaping a career.”

He is matched against Javier Dario Aragon (7-1-1, 3 KOs), fighting out of Denver by way of Mexico, in the 8-round main event.

“Fighting at home means so much to me,” Romero said about fighting in Olathe. “It’s giving me that extra motivation and drive to work hard every single day in the gym. I’m ready to give my people from KC and Olathe a show.”
Romero, currently a promotional free agent, has needed only 17 rounds in his 9 propesyonal nga away, registering 8 stoppages, including his last six fights in a row. He is set to compete as a middleweight for the first time after previously fighting at super middleweight, his sixth fight in 2025.

“Going down to middleweight has always been the plan,” Romero noted. “My dream is to be a multi-world champion in different weight classes. I’m excited to see how I feel going to middleweight and see how I feel after this fight. Our plan is to go even lower in weight to super welterweight.

“I’m ready and excited to fight 8-rounds. Our opposition will be tougherwe know thatso we are preparing for a hard fought 8-rounder or finish it earlier Either way we are coming Shark Style!"

Proud of his Mexican American heritage, Marco’s boxing idols are Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Julio Cesar Chavez ug, siyempre, his namesake, Marco Antonio Barrera. Romero’s ultimate goal is to bring world championship boxing back to Kansas, in order to give back to his community and inspire other young and upcoming boxers from Kansas City, not necessarily just in boxing, but any sport. His ultimate goal is to fill up Arrowhead Stadium one day, either fighting for a world title, or defending his world title belt.

The undercard will feature Kansas City’s (KS) popular Davidson brothers, Marcell Davidson (6-0, 4 KOs) Marcus Davidson (6-1, 5 KOs), both fighting as welterweights in separate 4-round fights. Marcell was a 2-time winner of The Ringside World Championships, ingon man usab sa 2019 National Golden gwantes Tournament.

Ang pulis sa Providence nga si Kyana Williams nakakuha og bronze medal sa prestihiyosong National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions

Providence (Mayo 28, 2024) -Opisyal sa pulisya sa Providence nga si Kyana "Special Kay" Williams, sa usa ka 2024 Bag-ong England nga Golden Gloves Champion, nakakuha og bronze medal sa welterweight (146-pound) division sa bag-ohay lang nga National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions nga gidumala sa Lungsod sa Detroit.

Ang National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions adunay usa ka Who's Who sa amateur boxing sa Estados Unidos. Halos tanang dagkong U.S. boksingero sukad 1928 nakigtigi niining prestihiyosong kompetisyon.

Gipasira ni Williams si Zamyla Thurman-Houston sa opening round pinaagi sa unanimous nga desisyon, 5-0, ug napildi siya sa semifinals round, 3-2, ni Brianna Gulia, ang kataposang runner-up.

“Napamatud-an ko nga isa ako sa pinakamaayo sa pungsod,” usa ka malipayon nga si Williams miingon bahin sa iyang pasundayag. “Nalipay kaayo ko niini.”

Williams, usa ka residente sa Providence, gi-coach ni David Keefe ug Joshua Lemar sa Bishop's Boxing sa Bridgewater ug Veloz Boxing sa Providence.

TEAM WILLIAMS (R-L) – Joshua Lemar, Kyana Williams ug Dave Keefe

“Migawas siya sa wala,” pasabot ni coach Keefe. “Tulo ka tuig ang milabay, Nagbansay kog mga manggugubat ug si Kyana naa sa gym. Giingnan nako siya sa dihang andam na siya nga mokontak nako, Gibansay ko siya. Nagsugod kami upat ka bulan ang milabay ug tan-awa kung unsa ang iyang nahimo. Mahimo siyang mahimong pro karon, apan gusto ko nga magpadayon sa pagtrabaho sa pipila pa nga mga butang sa dili pa niya buhaton. ”

Si Williams adunay daghang mga babag nga gibuntog aron makuha kung asa siya sa kinabuhi ingon man sa boksing. Sa unang pagkakita ni Keefe niya, Dili pa andam si Kyana nga mopasalig sa boksing, kadaghanan tungod sa iyang bag-ong karera isip usa ka pulis. Karon, ikawalong tuig na siya isip miyembro sa Providence Police Department, nagpatrolya sa North End sa dakbayan. Bag-o lang siya naghimo sa listahan sa Detective, ug naglaum siya nga ma-promote dayon.

Tungod kay ang iyang eskedyul sa trabaho anaa sa taliwala 6:45 am. UG ug 2:45 sa gabii. UG, siya makahimo sa pag-juggle sa iyang bokasyon ug boksing. Ang iyang kasagarang adlaw magsugod sa 5 am. alang sa pagbansay sa kusog-ug-kondisyon, gisundan sa usa ka buntag run, ug nag-ehersisyo siya sa boksing sa gabii.

“Ako usa ka sayo nga mibangon,” miangkon siya, “aron wala koy problema (pagdumala sa iyang oras). Duna koy trabaho nga buhaton, mga lagda mao ang mga lagda ug ang mga balaod mao ang mga balaod, ug naningkamot ko sa paghimo sa mga adlaw sa mga tawo nga mas sayon ​​sa diha nga ako moadto sa tawag. Sa singsing, bisan, Gihatagan nako og kalisdanan ang akong mga kaatbang.”

Nagsugod si Williams sa combat sports isip kickboxer sa dihang siya pa 13, nakigkompetensya sa unang higayon sa dihang siya 15, ug una siyang nagsugod sa boksing 2013. Nagbakasyon siya og pito ka tuig sa boksing, bisan tuod siya kanunay nga mosulod sa gym sama sa iyang gibuhat sa dihang iyang nahimamat si Keefe.

“Nagpulis ko, apan dili ka makaduwa og boksing,” miangkon siya. “Wala ko apil tanan (boxing). Morag nagbisikleta. Nakat-unan nako ang pipila ka mga butang nga nakatabang kanako sa boksing. Kinahanglan nga kalmado ko sa pagbuhat sa trabaho sa pulis sama sa akong gibuhat sa ring. Ang lebel sa pagsalig nga akong nabatonan isip usa ka pulis nakatabang kanako sa ring, usab.

Adunay pipila ka ubang mga isyu. Sa 2015, siya ug ang iyang amahan parehong gipusil atol sa pagsulong sa balay. Si Williams gipusil ubos sa bat-ang, iyang amahan sa tudlo sa tiil. Gipili sa mga doktor nga dili kuhaon ang bala tungod sa posibleng kadaot sa nerbiyos ug/o impeksyon, nagtuo nga ang pag-ehersisyo luwas nga mapalayo ang bala gikan sa kadaot sa ugat. “Kon midagan ko og unom ka milya,” siya miingon, “Ang akong bitiis manhid. Kinahanglan kong magtukod og kusog sa akong wala ug, basta mag yoga ug stretch, Maayo na ko karon.”

Atol sa iyang pahulay gikan sa boksing, Midugang og gibug-aton si Williams ug sa dihang andam na siyang mopasalig sa boksing, siya kinahanglan nga mawad-an sa gibug-aton ug mawala 65 libra.

“Pagkita nako ni Dave,” dugang sa 27-anyos nga si Williams, "Nahibal-an ko nga kinahanglan ko nga mabalik ang porma sa wala pa nako siya makontak bahin sa pagbansay kanako. Mao kadto ang pinakamaayong desisyon nga akong nahimo sukad.”

Usa pa ka hinungdanon nga pangutana kung magpabilin ba siya nga boksing ingon usa ka amateur o mahimong pro.

“Nalipay ko nga nahimong bahin sa USA Boxing,” siya mitapos, “Apan maminaw ko kung ang husto nga deal gitanyag. Gibuksan nako ang daghang mga mata sa The National Golden Gloves.
