BROWNSVILLE, TX (十一月 10, 2020)– The rapidly expanding emergence of an inspirational leader continues unabated in the personage of undefeated super lightweight prospect, 奧馬爾華雷斯 (9-0, 4 科斯). An outstanding professional boxer by trade, Juarez is rising on the national stage with his recent designation as brand ambassador for the newly formed partnership between the California basedFeet First Foundationand the globally recognized World Boxing Council’s humanitarian branch“World Boxing Cares”.
Omar Juarez’ carefully crafted message about the principles needed to achieve goals has positively affected young people’s lives in his hometown, 布朗斯維爾, Texas since he was 15-years old. The overwhelmingly positive feedback he has received from young people about his message has inspired him to even greater heights in this endeavor.
None more than a touching tribute he just received from a special needs child named Isaias, who deals with acute challenges that include communication. Isaias is limited to communicating through a laptop and was a frequent visitor to Omar’s gym on Fridays when it was opened to special needs kids.
As the pandemic took hold, Isaias found himself isolated at home and began to feel the effects of this isolation, he typed out a message of gratitude to Omar for being a source of inspiration and hope. His family acknowledged to Omar the much needed solace this represented to their son.
“To hear a message like the one I received from Isaias and his family made my day,” said Omar Juarez, who fights under the總理拳擊冠軍 旗幟. “Its moments like these that keep me motivated as I continue to be a positive role model in my community. As a Chinese proverb states…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.”
These are the touching moments that energize Omar as he continues his quest to become an inspirational leader on a worldwide scale.
“WE TEACH CHARACTER THROUGH THE ART OF TEXTBOOK BOXING”
紐約, 紐約 (十月 19, 2020) - 該 Feet First Foundationis pleased to announce a collaborative partnership with the“WBC Cares”組織, a community outreach program formed by the世界拳擊理事會 在 2006. The two parties have teamed up to highlight the transformative power of boxing, and how textbook boxing training can help improve the lives of many students in schools across the world.
By partnering with the WBC Cares, the Feet First Foundation, who already has had over 10,000 students go through their program, now aims to extend its curriculum nationally as a supportive outlet for schools around the world. The Feet First Foundation has found success implementing a data-backed program that uses boxing exercise and group discussion to inspire strong character in these school children. Founded in the state of California in 2017, the Feet First Foundation under the guidance of co-foundersDan Dorsett, Sean Sharkey, Zach Micheletti 和 Brandon Kregel, has improved the lives of thousands of students and adults. Along with promoting a healthy lifestyle that incorporates disciplined boxing exercise, the Feet First program also encourages group discussion topics around perseverance, accountability, and respect.

We are pleased to endorse their movement with this partnership.”

I’m all in.” # # #
Lamont Powell (ř ) is a winner in different ways (photo courtesy of Ed Diller Photography)
普羅維登斯, R.I. (五月 5, 2020) – Undefeated super welterweight prospect拉蒙特 “The Blessed One” Powell, based on a near death experience 2-½ years ago in Providence, could easily have “幸運” as his nickname.
The 26-year-old Powell was a three-time Silver Mittens champion, who compiled a 45-4 業餘紀錄, prior to turning two years ago. 他是 5-0 (1 KO) as a professional but, due to the pandemic, he hasn’t fought since last August, when he won a 4-round unanimous decision over 14-7-1里卡多·加西亞.
Back on that near fatal night in 2018, Lamont and his uncle were sitting in a car in front of Powell’s home, when another vehicle suddenly and surprisingly stopped near them. Two unidentified young men jumped out and starting firing automatic weapons in Powell’s direction. Thirty-six rounds were shot, one hit Powell’s uncle in the leg, but Powell somehow miraculously escaped without a scratch.
“No bullets hit me,” Powell confirmed. “I’m blessed and the reason for that is God and my mother – we lost her (梅利莎) 當我是 3 – who is my guardian angel. We were just sitting in a car, when two kids got out of a car and starting shooting our car. They had extended clips, but I don’t know who they were, and neither do the police to this day. My uncle was taken to the hospital and I had to start watching myself closer.”
Powell’s grandparents – Phillip Copper 和Mary Ann Powell – brought him up, because his mother had passed away and his father was in and out of his life. His grandmother is his legal guardian and his grandfather has been like a father since he was a baby.
Naturally, after his surreal experience, Powell dramatically changed his lifestyle. Instead of running the streets and ending up like many people he knew, dead or incarcerated, Powell dedicated himself to boxing and created a charity for high-risk kids, Gloves Up, Guns Down, sponsored by Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, where he trains with his grandfather as head coach, as well as having former U.S. Olympian boxer賈森 “六大” 路 在他的角落.
After the shooting somebody who had been shot in the head reached out to Powell. They met to talk about what they’d been through and soon createdGloves up, Guns Down, 哪 “blew up” overnight, according to Powell.
“Gloves Up, Guns Down” offers at-risk youngsters an opportunity to try boxing as part of an after-school program aimed to keep kids active and out of trouble. Kids are supplied with boxing equipment and taught valuable lessons through boxing with proper coaching and support. “I started boxing when I was eight years old,” Powell added. “Boxing kept me off of the streets and busy. This is a sport outside of school that everyone can get involved in.”
Powell is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Sports and Entertainment (CES). Burchfield clearly remembers the first time he saw Powell, because he was so impressive running a hilly 2 ½ mile course around a pond at Lincoln Woods State Park.
“I walk there often, and I’ve watched everybody struggle running those hills, including top athletes, but I saw this kid running the hills without a problem,” Burchfield remembered. “I later found out that he was a boxer and knew I’d never have to worry about him being in top shape.
“Lamont came to see me with his grandfather, who has been such a big part of his life, and laterRoland Estradajoined us. I was impressed because Lamont had a full-time job, 但, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. 有一天，, he called and asked if I would go with him to the Met School, where he was going to be speaking to about 150 kids and teachers. He spoke about running the streets and admitted that he had done it all. He said to me that if he could impact the lives of one or two of those kids, he’d feel happy, and that brought tears to my eyes. He was going speak at other schools, but this pandemic has put that on hold for now. His program is No. 1 in his life, helping at-risk kids so they don’t repeat what Lamont did when he was younger.”
在環, Powell displays a stiff jab and, 當然, tremendous conditioning. And like most boxers, he believes that he’ll be a champion someday.
“Everything is going as planned with CES,” Powell concluded. “My grandfather has been my head coach since day one, Jason also coaches me, and Doc. Estrada is my adviser. Boxing came naturally to me. I just needed to put in the hard work. Someday I will be a champion and I can’t wait to see my grandfather in the ring holding the belt over his head, because nobody deserves that more than him.”
Burchfield has been a boxing promoter for nearly 30 歲月, and he agrees that Powell will be a champion someday. “He’s definitely is on a mission to be a champion,” Burchfield added, and he has everything needed to make that happen. This kid has a really good story. He can be a champion and continue helping at-risk kids have better lives. What’s better than that?”
Powell, who also gave-away toys to children in need last Christmas at Big Six Boxing Academy, is on the boxing journey of his career that he believes will climax someday with him being crowned world champion.
簡而言之, Lamont Powell is the total package, 進出環. And lucky to be alive!
