โคโลราโดสปริงส์, ตัก. (มีนาคม 8, 2021) – In the 2019 USA National Boxing Championships, Amir Andersonwas a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (N.Y.), but this year he believes he’s one of the “top dogs” in the 165-pound decision.
Anderson will be competing in the youth division at the 2020 สหรัฐอเมริกามวยชิงแชมป์แห่งชาติ, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 เมษายน 3, in Shreveport, La.
Anderson’s goal at these championships is simple: he wants to win to lock down a slot on the USA Boxing Youth Team, which will give him a leg up in terms of qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
“The winner in each weight class qualifies for the USA Boxing Youth Team,” he explained. “Runner-ups are alternates and can make the team if the winner can’t for whatever reason. ผมต้องการที่จะชนะ!
“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. ตอนนี้, I have everything to lose. I do my research and breakdown other fighters in my weight class. I’ll be more focused this time because I was an underdog then and now, I’m the top dog in my division.”
The 17-year-old Anderson has already tasted success, capturing top honors at the 2019 Junior Open and 2019 ภูมิภาคตะวันออกเปิด, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 โอลิมปิกระดับชาติ
Still a high school senior, Amir describes himself as an all-around boxer with a unique style in which he can box or bang, hit the angles and throw a lot of punches.
Like every amateur boxer, last year was a tremendous challenge to train, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. “I trained six hours a day in my basement to get in really good workouts,” Anderson said. “And I ran my miles, เกินไป. When my gym opened-up last July 2ครั้งที่, it was limited so I had to still workout in my basement. It was hard to stay focused, but I knew how.
“I really planned to win a lot of regional and national tournaments to get national recognition. I wanted to fight in Bulgaria with the junior team, but that was canceled, เกินไป. The pandemic was a setback for me, but we’ll see what’s in store for 2021.”
The National Championships is the first trip towards Amir Anderson’s Parisian goal for 2024 at the Olympics.

“ เราย้อนเวลากลับไปเมื่อฉันยังเป็นเด็กเมื่อฉันได้รับการฝึกฝนที่ Joe Grier Boxing Academy ในเมืองแพตเตอร์สัน, รัฐนิวเจอร์ซีย์,” วิลเลียมส์อธิบาย “ โจเป็นคนตั้งชื่อเล่นให้ฉัน, ‘Quiet Storm.’ ยูริคือแชมป์โลกตัวจริง โดยพื้นฐานแล้วฉันมาจากไหนเพื่อแบ่งปันแหวนกับแชมป์โลก สิ่งที่เรากำลังทำคือการแข่งขันชกมวย ไม่เกี่ยวกับอายุ; เขา 40 และฉันอายุ 34 ปีไม่มีความหมายอะไรเลย ฉันไม่ใช่สุนัขตัวท็อป, ซึ่งอาจเป็นสาเหตุที่พวกเขาเสนอการต่อสู้ให้ฉัน, แต่ฉันเป็นนักสู้ตัวจริงที่จะเป็นแชมป์โลก นี่คือการต่อสู้ระดับโลกของฉัน! ชนะ, สูญเสีย, หรือวาด, I’ll be fighting a world champion. I’m not scared of anybody. It’s not about money, it’s who I am, and I always step up to the challenge. This is going to be a great fight.”
วิลเลียมส์ (16-5-2, 5 คอส) is proud to be one of the rare football players who has succeeded in boxing. He was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University and invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders.
“I’ve always been a boxer at heart,” Williams said, “so football was easy for me. It was great getting calls from NFL scouts. I walked away from football for boxing. I’m a former Division 2 college football player fighting a world champion. I knew when it was time to leave football, but I’m not ready to leave boxing yet. I don’t need to box. I’m educated, work in the community, and I’m a father. I’m blessed to be boxing and I’ll know when it’s time to hang up my gloves.”
Williams didn’t box until after his mother, Belinda, was murdered in 2008 and her case remains unsolved. He lost his father to cancer.
“This fight for Jimmy is by far the biggest of his career,” Williams managerRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) remarked. “It’s a must win to get him back on track. He knows what he has to do. He made a move to Veloz Boxing in Rhode Island and he’s a different fighter from what he was in his last two fights. Just being around ‘Boo Boo’ (แชมป์โลกDemetrious Andrade) and those guys there has Jimmy where he needs to be for this fight.”
Williams has been promoted byจิมมี่ Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (งาน CES) since he turned pro in 2013.
“We have a close relationship,” Burchfield commented. “I turned him pro, got him on national television a few times, and even attended his wedding. I’m very proud of him. He’s been tremendously loyal to CES as we have to him. This is a great opportunity. He didn’t hesitate a minute to take this fight. He has a new trainer, Brian Johnson, and Jimmy has been driving bad and forth from New Haven to Providence to train. I think he’s in the top shape of his life, because he knows the importance of this fight. He deserves to have this opportunity.
Something special about his fight tonight against Foreman for Williams, an African American, is fighting at this venue (Kentucky Center for African Americans) in the hometown of his hero,มูฮัมหมัดอาลี.
“I’m paying homage to all people who’ve lived my dream,” Williams remarked. “It is what I represent. We’ve lost a lot of people in the last year. Fighting in Louisville is big for me because it’s the home of ‘The Greatest,’ Muhammad Ali. I look at Ali more for his character and what he stood for than his boxing. He stood for something and lost the prime of his career because of it. I try to be like him in terms of who I am. He gave me the confidence be who I want to be in life. I’ve read every book about him. I refuse to give up like Ali. I’m a throwback fighter.”
