Cigars and Vodka –This is one that I didn’t get to witness personally but he told it so often that I felt like I was there. As a highly-respected wrestling coach, Doc was often invited to wrestling seminars in Russia where that sport is God-like. Doc was often the recipient of many bottles of the finest Russian vodka. He would attend boxing seminars in Cuba. Before flipping truck tires became a trendy thing in most fitness centers, Doc borrowed the Cuban method and would have his fighters bounce on truck tires to increase leg strength and conditioning. He also came home from many of these trips with some authentic Cuban cigars. He would tell us how he would then go to the store and buy the cheapest cigars and vodka, ដើម្បីប្តូរស្លាក។ បន្ទាប់មកគាត់នឹងធ្វើត្រាប់តាមអ្នកដែលជក់បារីនូវបារីដែលមានតំលៃថោកហើយផឹកវ៉ូដាកាដែលមានតំលៃថោកដោយគិតថាពួកគេកំពុងទទួលទានទំនិញពិតប្រាកដ។ គាត់នឹង pantomime ការច្របាច់វ៉ូដាកានិងការលោតផ្លោះនៃបារីយឺត ៗ ខណៈពេលដែលការអត្ថាធិប្បាយ "តើអ្នកពិតជាអាចភ្លក្សរសជាតិភាពខុសគ្នា", ការប្រគុំតន្ត្រីពេញមួយលើករបស់គាត់ចំពោះចំណេះដឹងដែលគាត់ដឹងថាពួកគេពិតជាកំពុងទទួលបាននូវគុណភាពទាបបំផុតនៃធាតុទាំងពីរ.

BELGRADE, Serbia – October 29, 2021– The United States’ teenage hope Jahmal Harvey delivered the upset performance of in the afternoon session of the fourth day at the AIBA World Boxing Championships in Belgrade, ស៊ែប៊ី. Harvey eliminated Uzbekistan’s defending AIBA World Champion Mirazizbek Mirzakhalilov to reach the 1/8 final.
Harvey will turn 19 នៅចុងឆ្នាំនេះ, but the US boxer proved that he is a fantastic talent in boxing. He had some difficulties in the first round in his opening bout, but he managed to beat Belgium’s Vasile Usturoi in a hectic fight. Harvey’s Irish coach Billy Walsh prepared the strategy for his second contest against Mirzakhalilov, reigning AIBA World Champion and Asian Games winner.
The Uzbek boxer is one of the top stars of the AIBA World Boxing Championships. but his US rival surprised him with his effective counter-punching and top level of footwork. Harvey exceeded all of the expectations in this featherweight (57គ) bout and eliminated the defending champion.
"ខ្ញុំជឿលើខ្លួនខ្ញុំផ្ទាល់, my skills and on my coaches today,” Harvey said, “and I knew that I could make it. The first round was very important, and I gave in everything to take the lead on the scorecards to follow my own strategy. I have the physical condition to keep in the same level until the very end. The atmosphere is impressive in this event, and I am happy that part of it.”
Two-time Olympic champion Claressa Shields, ពី Flint, រដ្ឋ Michigan, is proud of Team USA’s Olympic boxing medalists and the whole USA Boxing squad, which featured five female participants for the first time. The only American boxer ever to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals, Shields stood atop the medal podium at the first-ever Olympic Games to feature women’s boxing in 2012, before duplicating the feat at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The reigning middleweight Olympic champion was pleased with the United States’ performance at the Tokyo Olympics, which featured three silver medals and a bronze in the first appearance of a women’s welterweight competition.
“I’m super proud of the U.S. ក្រុមការងារ. The Olympics is the hardest tournament to medal in and all of you showed a lot of grit, hard work, determination and skill,” Shields said.
Earning medals in Tokyo were female welterweight O’shae Jones from nearby Toledo, រដ្ឋអូហៃយ៉ូ, who took home a bronze, as well as a pair of professional boxers in Duke Ragan (ប្រភេទទម្ងន់មធ្យម) and Keyshawn Davis (ទំងន់ស្រាល), and California’s Richard Torrez Jr, (super heavyweight) who each won silver medals. The four medals represent the highest total for Team USA since Ricardo Juarez, Ricardo Williams, Clarence Vinson and Jermain Taylor grabbed hardware (two silver and two bronze) នៅ 2000 កីឡាអូឡាំពិក.
នេះ 2020 Olympic Games featured the addition of two women’s weight divisions, កីឡាករ (119 ផោន) និងខ្សែក្រវាត់ទម្ងន់មធ្យម (152 ផោន), which shows the continued growth of the sport of women’s boxing throughout the world.
ខែល, who in addition to her two Olympic gold medals has won ten world titles in three weight divisions and become undisputed champion in two weight classes in just eleven fights as a professional and recently launched a two-sport career with her professional MMA debut for the PFL, says that having Jones as another American female professional boxer sporting an Olympic medal would be good for the sport. Jones has previously expressed a desire to enter the pro ranks.
“An injection of new top-level talent is always positive,” said Shields (11-0-0, 2 លើក), who aside from making her successful MMA fighting debut in June, made history last March by dethroning Canada’s Marie-Eve Dicaire and becoming the first boxer in the four-belt era to be an undisputed champion in two divisions. She also retained her WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles with the victory and claimed Dicaire’s IBF belt, as well as the vacant WBA Championship. “The idea of a new generation of ladies turning pro and deepening the talent pool with Olympic-level skills will be good for the sport of women’s boxing.”
Shields went 77-1 as an amateur and turned professional after her second Olympic victory in 2016. Her 2017 battle with Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados was the first female main event to be broadcast on American premium television. In addition to currently being the WBC, ខ្សែក្រវាត់ WBO, IBF and WBA champion at 154 ផោន, Shields had previously unified all four of the major sanctioning body belts at middleweight (160 ផោន។).
Shields has had a dominating, record-breaking run thus far in her professional career, tearing through other women once considered the best in their divisions with relative ease. She and Great Britain’s Katie Taylor, also undefeated as a pro, have lifted women’s boxing to new heights in recent years, leading an increasingly deeper talent pool that will only get deeper with the addition of the 2020 Olympians from around the world.
Shields’ manager, Mark Taffet of Mark Taffet Media, agrees that the impending influx of new talent to women’s boxing will benefit the sport as a whole.
“I’m excited for the four Americans who brought home Olympic medals this year, particularly welterweight bronze medal winner Oshae Jones who I believe will be one to watch in the next few years,” said Taffet. “The female boxing talent pool, and importantly the U.S. pool, continues to improve and bodes well for the future of women’s boxing and the continued gains toward equality across the board.”
Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions, says he’s excited for the future and proud of USA Boxing, who produced four medal winners while undergoing a deadly pandemic that severely hampered the ability to train properly
“As a former amateur and professional boxer, I know the sacrifices required to fight on the elite level and I congratulate Team USA for all of its successes this year, even through all the added challenges that Covid-19 created,” said Salita.
2020 USA National Boxing Championshipsសមុទ្រ. 25-មេសា. 4, in Shreveport, រដ្ឋ Louisiana
Colorado Springs, ភ្លៅ. (ខែមិនា 1, 2021) — Texas twinsលោក Josh (ឆ្វេង) និង ទន្លេយ័រដាន់ (អាន) Jenkinsare on a mission to become the first twins ever to be on a Team USA Olympic Boxing Team.
They will both be competing in the elite division at the 2020 អាមេរិចប្រដាល់ជើងឯកជាតិ, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – ខែមេសា 3, in Shreveport, រដ្ឋ Louisiana.
The Jenkins twins have overcome numerous obstacles in Dallas, primarily their father’s long incarceration, subsequently getting into trouble and constantly fighting others in school. And that doesn’t even include COVID-19 restrictions that limited gym time and eliminated tournament competition this past year.
They were fortunate to have their grandfather, ចុង Guilford Childress, who was the most significant male influence in their lives. “We played all sports but were getting into trouble fighting in school,” older brother by 1 minute Josh said. “Our grandfather took us to the gym, but our mother didn’t want us to box. He and my godfather, Darryl Thomas, who was also a father figure for us, trained us. Our grandfather used to come to school when we got in trouble. He was our disciplinarian. He’d take us right out of training at the gym or stop us from sparring for two weeks. He didn’t just want us to be champion boxers, he wanted us to become mature men.
“Two years ago, Greg Hatleybecame our trainer. Everything changed for us when we started being trained by Coach Hatley. Our styles completely changed, and we started settling down in the ring, and picking spots. Coach Hatley has had a big impact on our lives. He’s taught us how to be men. He’s a roofer and he taught us how to roof, change oil and tires, and save our money for later.”
The twins work for Amazon in a warehouse. Jordan is a brawling lightweight, while welterweight Josh is more of a boxer. Have they ever switched places and fought under the other’s name? “Everybody asks us that,” laughed Jordan. «តើមិនមាន, Josh is bigger than me.”
They’ve been competing in the elite division for the past couple of years, and both have reached the semifinals of major tournaments, but they’re ready to break out at the upcoming National Championships.
The Jenkins twins have had their training impacted. like most other amateur boxers, but not terribly, yet different from what they were used to. At first there were limitations at their gym, but once restrictions opened-up, they were able to train more often, spread out more than normal at the gym while working out, and COVID-19 tested monthly.
The dream for “Twin Nation”, coined by their grandfather when Josh and Jordan were in the seventh grade, is becoming the first twins on a Team USA Boxing Olympic Team, something late grandfather first mentioned to them. “We want to be the first twins on the US Olympic Boxing Team so kids can look up to us,” Jordan noted. “We want to prove that kids labeled as bad can still be successful growing up in an environment like ours. A lot of friends we grew up with are dead or in jail. We’ve worked had to change our lives and we’re looking ahead to Paris (site of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games)."
Their remarkable journey reaches a new level at the Nationals. They aren’t in a rush to go pro, ទាំង. អូ!, they both intend to be professional boxers, but only when they’re ready as a tandem.
“We’re humble,” Josh concluded. “We’ve had a lot of bumps and bruises. We could have gone left or right. A lot of our friends went one way, but we went the other way, និង became boxers.”

USA Boxing Alumni: (ឆ្វេង) Jamel Herring and his stablemate, ផាបរេឥ “bud” លោក Crawford (picture courtesy of Mikey Williams / លកំពូល)
Colorado Springs, ភ្លៅ. (ខែមិថុនា 13, 2019) – Newly crowned World Boxing Organization (ខ្សែក្រវាត់ WBO) super featherweight championJamel “Semper Fi” herringhas been a fighter practically all his life as a U.S. Marine and elite boxer.
The 33-year-old Herring (20-2, 10 លើក), fighting out of Cincinnati, has come full circle since he started boxing at the age of 15. “I started because I was doing poorly in school, cut from the basketball team,” he explained on why he chose the Sweet Science. “I didn’t want to be in the streets. It was not my character, so I had to find something else to do. A friend introduced me to boxing and I stuck with it. I eventually got my grades back up and made high honor roll.”
Herring also developed into an Olympic boxer, mostly while he was serving nine years in the U.S. Marines, and even when he was deployed twice in Iraq. He compiled an 81-15 កំណត់ត្រាស្ម័គ្រចិត្ត, រួមទាំងកិត្តិយសកំពូលនៅ 2011 & 2012 Armed Forces Championships, 2011 U.S. Olympic Trials and 2012 US Nationals gold medalist, along with a silver medal at the 2010 World Military Games. He was the first active duty U.S. Marine to qualify for the US Boxing Team since 1992, as well as the first U.S. Marine to compete in the 2012 កីឡាអូឡាំពិក.
“I boxed a little during my second deployment during free time,” he noted. “I came back from my second deployment toward the end of 2007 and began boxing for the Marine Corps in 2008. Most of my amateur career came under the Marine Corps. I learned a lot traveling with the Marine Corps. I got to see more styles and competed in national tournaments as a Marine. They also had the funding to send me.”
The highlight of his amateur career was representing his country at the 2012 Olympics in London as captain of Team USA. Although he lost (19-9) in the opening round to two-time Kazakh boxerDaniyar Yeleussinov, who won gold at the 2013 World Championships and later at the 2016 កីឡាអូឡាំពិក, the opening Olympic ceremonies was the most memorable moment of his entire amateur boxing career for a special reason.
“That was the anniversary of my daughter’s passing,” Herring said. “It let me know that no matter what, you can still accomplish anything, even through ups and downs.”
Other members of the 2012 USA Olympic Team Herring captained included present day world champions in the pro ranks such asErrol Spence, JR., Claressa ខែល និង លោក Marcus Browne បាន, អតីតម្ចាស់ជើងឯកពិភពលោក Rau’Shee Warren, and world title challengersTerrell Gausha, លោក Michael ហិនទ័រ និង លោក Dominic Breazeale.
Herring remains close to USA Boxing, និយាយថា:: “USA Boxing helped me because of the relationships I created, many of which still remain today. I met other fighters from around the world that I kept good relationships with. It also helped me become more of the people-person I am today. Being team captain taught me patience, because I had to deal with a lot of personalities, I still use those traits today. And I’m still close to my Olympic teammates today.”
“Jamel is the perfect example of resiliency and persistence,” mentionedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His hard work, ការថ្វាយយញ្ញបូជា, and inability to quit no matter what obstacles he encounters will continue to inspire the next generation of champions for many years. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank him for all that he has given to others, both in and out of the ring.”
Nothing has ever come easy for Jamel Herring, especially his remarkable turnaround after the tragic loss of his infant daughter, Ariyanah, which happened three years to the day prior to the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.
“My road wasn’t easy,” Herring added, “I had my ups and downs. I’m an Olympian, but nothing was ever handed to me. I had to fight for everything I’ve gotten. នេះគឺជាពេលវេលារបស់ខ្ញុំ!”
It certainly is, particularly after he defeated defending WBO super featherweight championMasayuki Ito, ខែឧសភាកន្លងទៅនេះ 25, ដើម្បីក្លាយជាជើងឯកពិភពលោក. Proof that good things do indeed happen to good people.
Colorado Springs, ភ្លៅ. (ឧសភា 6, 2019) – USA Boxing middleweight ត្រយ Isleyis coming off the most significant victory of his young career, when he defeated the 2016 ម្ចាស់មេដាយមាសអូឡាំពិក, Cuba’sArlen Lopez, at the recent Pan American Games Qualifier in Managua, នីការ៉ាហ្គ័.
Lopez served as a positive barometer for Isley in terms of his potential 2020 Olympic run. “Beating Lopez is my biggest win so far,” Isley admitted. “He won a gold medal at the last Olympics. I avenged my loss to him in 2017. We almost fought in The Continentals, but he lost in the quarterfinals, and I lost in the semifinals. We could face each other again in July at the Pan American Games.”
នៅ 2017, Isley captured a gold medal at the Elite World Championships, which marked a first for an American elite boxer in six years. He’s progressed year-by-year, taking top honors at the 2012 & 2013 National PAL Championships, 2014 National Junior Olympics, 2016 & 2017 Elite National Championships. So far this year, in addition to winning at the Pan American Games Qualifier, he also took gold at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
Not too shabby accomplishments for a kid who really didn’t like boxing, especially compared to football, which was his favorite sport growing up.
“When I returned to the gym I trained at, អាឡិចសាន់ (VA) Boxing Club,” USA National Team assistant coachKay Korombaremembered,” they needed help with a young kid, ត្រយ Isley. I had a simple conversation with him. He said he’d come back to the gym if I was there coaching. I didn’t go back for a little while and he didn’t return. I eventually took over the gym when the coach left, and Troy returned.
“Troy is friends withKeyshawn Davគឺ (គ្មានការប្រដាល់របស់អាមេរិក. 1-rated lightweight). They both live in Virginia (Troy in Alexandria, Keyshawn in Newport) and train with me at the Alexandria Boxing Club, when we aren’t living and training in Colorado Springs. They fought as kids and became good friends. All of the other boxers here look up to them.”
“ខ្ញុំគ្រាន់តែជា 8 and at first I really didn’t like boxing,” the now 20-year-old Isley spoke about his introduction to amateur boxing. “I was more interested in team sports like football, but I gave up boxing when I chose to compete in the Box-Offs. I just wanted to be a kid and you can’t play boxing. I went back to the gym and beat up everybody. Coach Kay told my father that he could make me into a national champion, and that gave me a lot of self-esteem.”
A self-described boxer puncher, Isley is an intelligent, well-spoken boxer with eyes on the future, outside of boxing, taking on-line business courses through DeVry University. “ខ្ញុំអាចធ្វើបានទាំងអស់,” he offered about his boxing style. “I’m working on using more jabs to be a better all-around boxer. The jab sets the offense up. I’m working on my jab because you can win fights with a jab.”
Promoters are lining up to pitch their companies to sign Isley, who has a definitive plan that involves making the 2020 ក្រុមប្រដាល់អូឡាំពិកសហរដ្ឋអាមេរិក, medal in Japan, and then turn professional.
“The Olympics is only a year away,” Isley noted. “I’m close with Keyshawn andShakur(ស្ទីវ៉ែនសុន, 2016 Olympic silver-medalist and an 11-0 pro prospect). Training with them makes things easier for all of us. We drive each other and train against different styles. I’m always picking up new stuff. We help each other training, ហ្វឹកហាត់របស់កីឡាករ, and just talking. We’re always together, either in Alexandria or Colorado Springs. Shakur still goes there for good sparring.
“Shakur tells us a lot about his experiences in the Olympics and now as a pro. Me and Keyshawn have always talked about being together on the USA Boxing Olympic Team. We keep working hard and staying focused. It’s been our dream.”
Dreams do come true but, ជាលើកដំបូង, Isley is preparing for the Pan-Am Games and, possibly, his rubber match with the defending Olympic gold-medalist, Lopez បាន.
