Providence-politibetjent Kyana Williams tok en bronsemedalje på prestisjetunge National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions

K Williams.jpg

PROVIDENCE (Mai 28, 2024) –Providence politibetjent Kyana "Special Kay" Williams, en 2024 New England Golden Gloves Champion, tok en bronsemedalje i weltervekt (146-pund) divisjon på den nylige National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions arrangert av City of Detroit.

National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions har en Who's Who av amatørboksing i USA. Så godt som alle store U.S. bokser siden 1928 har konkurrert i denne prestisjetunge konkurransen.

Williams slo ut Zamyla Thurman-Houston i åpningsrunden ved en enstemmig avgjørelse, 5-0, og hun ble kantet i semifinalerunden, 3-2, av Brianna Gulia, den endelige andreplassen.

«Jeg beviste at jeg er en av de beste i landet," sa en ekstatisk Williams om opptredenen hennes. "Jeg er veldig spent på det."

Williams, bosatt i Providence, blir coachet av David Keefe og Joshua Lemar ved Bishop's Boxing i Bridgewater og Veloz Boxing i Providence.

LAGET WILLIAMS (R-L) – Joshua Lemar, Kyana Williams og Dave Keefe

«Hun kom ut av ingenting," forklarte trener Keefe. "Tre år siden, Jeg trente fightere og Kyana var i treningsstudioet. Jeg fortalte henne det da hun var klar til å kontakte meg, Jeg ville trent henne. Vi startet sammen for fire måneder siden og ser på hva hun har gjort. Hun kan bli proff akkurat nå, men jeg vil gjerne fortsette å jobbe med noen flere ting før hun gjør det.»

Williams hadde flere hindringer å overvinne for å komme dit hun er i livet så vel som boksing. Da Keefe så henne første gang, Kyana var ikke klar til å forplikte seg til boksing, mye på grunn av hennes nye karriere som politimann. I dag, hun er i sitt åttende år som medlem av Providence Police Department, patruljerer nordenden av byen. Hun kom nylig på detektivlisten, og hun forventer å bli forfremmet veldig snart.

Fordi arbeidsplanen hennes er mellom 6:45 a.m. AND og 2:45 pm. OG, hun er i stand til å sjonglere med yrket og boksing. Hennes typiske dag starter kl 5 a.m. for styrke- og kondisjonstrening, etterfulgt av morgenløp, og hun trener boksing om natten.

«Jeg er tidlig oppegående," innrømmet hun, "så jeg har ingen problemer (administrere tiden hennes). Jeg har en jobb å gjøre, regler er regler og lover er lover, og jeg prøver å gjøre folks dager lettere når jeg går på vakt. I ringen, skjønt, Jeg gir motstanderne mine en vanskelig tid."

Williams begynte i kampsport som kickbokser da hun var 13, konkurrerte for første gang da hun var 15, og hun begynte først å bokse inn 2013. Hun tok sju år fri fra boksing, selv om hun alltid stakk innom treningsstudioet som hun gjorde da hun møtte Keefe.

«Jeg var politi, men du kan ikke spille boksing," innrømmet hun. «Jeg var ikke helt med (boksing). Det var som å sykle. Jeg har lært noen ting som har hjulpet meg i boksing. Jeg må være rolig med politiarbeid som jeg gjør i ringen. Graden av selvtillit jeg har som politimann hjelper meg i ringen, også.

Det var et par andre problemer. I 2015, hun og faren ble begge skutt under en hjemmeinvasjon. Williams ble skutt under hoften, faren hennes i tåa. Legene valgte å ikke ta ut kulen på grunn av potensiell nerveskade og/eller infeksjon, å tro å trene trygt ville flytte kulen vekk fra nerveskader. «Hvis jeg løp seks mil," bemerket hun, «Benet mitt ville bli nummen. Jeg trengte å bygge styrke i min venstre og, så lenge jeg gjør yoga og strekker, Jeg har det bra nå."

Under hennes pusterom fra boksing, Williams la til vekt og da hun var klar til å forplikte seg til boksing, hun trengte å gå ned i vekt og gikk ned 65 pounds.

"Da jeg så Dave," la den 27 år gamle Williams til, "Jeg visste at jeg måtte komme tilbake i form før jeg kontaktet ham om å trene meg. Det var den beste avgjørelsen jeg noen gang har tatt."

Et annet relevant spørsmål er om hun vil forbli boksing som amatør eller bli proff.

"Jeg er glad for å være en del av USA Boxing," konkluderte hun, "men jeg vil lytte hvis den rette avtalen blir tilbudt. Jeg åpnet mange øyne på The National Golden Gloves.»
