The Future of Boxing 18-year-old Marco “El Tiburón” Romero Kansas super middleweight returns to ring

Tonight in Portland, ME
KANSAS CITY, Mai. (November 7, 2024) - Twenty-three-time national amateur champion, 18-year-old Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero (3-0, 2 KOs), returns this Saturday night to the scene of his successful pro debut this past June in Portland, Maine, 1,300 miles northeast of his home in Overland Park, Kansas.

A promotional free agent, Romero is matched against Orlando “El Marro” Salgado (3-5, 2 KOs) in a four-round bout on a card promoted by Bobby Russo’s Portland Boxing Club in Portland’s Exposition Building.

“I had my first pro fight there and I love Portland people, especially Bobby Russo (who is also President of the National Golden Gloves),” Romero said. “I loved the crowd, everybody was so welcoming, sier, ‘Go KC.’ There’s good energy and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Romero, who will celebrate his 19th birthday on Nov. 19, is a special boxer and young man. The last 12 months have been absolutely amazing whirlwind for him in boxing.

Because he hadn’t reached the mandatory age of 18 ennå, and his weight class (super mellomvekt) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. OL-laget. I stedet, his eyes were on the prize of becoming a professional fighter.

I desember i fjor, Romero captured top honors at the prestigious USA Boxing National Championships in Lafayette, Louisiana, followed closely by parlaying that to gold medal performance at the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament in Detroit.

All told, in the last 12 måneder, he was 9-0 in amateur competition, including three at The Nationals and five at The Golden Gloves, plus three pro victories for a remarkable 12-0 rekord (three pro and 8 in elite national amateur competition) during this relatively short span.

The Romero Plan has always been to close out his incredible amateur career by winning The Nationals and Golden Gloves, at which he was also named Most Outstanding Boxer, known as the Golden Boy Award, and then turn pro. Mission accomplished!

“I would have liked to have fought in the Olympics,” he explained, “because all of the good, young boxers were there, and we (US-. menn) haven’t won an Olympic Gold Medal since Andre Ward in 2004. But I didn’t turn 18 until two weeks prior to the (Paris) Olympics and my weight class wasn’t contested there.

"Nå, I’m on a new journey as a pro. Ærlig, there aren’t too many differences between the amateurs and pros. The weigh-ins are right before the fight in the amateurs and the night before as a pro. I don’t have any problems fighting without headgear or with smaller gloves. To me there are really no big differences. I was born to fight!”

Romero describes himself as a heavy hitter who throws every punch with bad intentions. He’s very explosive with ring intelligence, capable of punishing his opponent by breaking them down until they either quit because they can’t take any additional punishment or get put to sleep.

In Romero’s corner is a legend in his own right, 77-year-old John Brown, who is Marco’s head trainer and manager, in the same role he played for world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 KOs) from his amateur days through his first 39 pro kamper, 1988 til 1993. The highlight, Selvfølgelig, was Morrison’s 12-round unanimous decision over George Foreman for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) tungvektstittelen.

Brown clearly doesn’t need to be in Romero’s corner to survive; men, John knows that Marco is a special fighter with tremendous upside, and he’s vowed to get him to the top of the boxing mountain.
“I’m really excited about this kid,” Brown remarked, “and my job is to make him successful for himself and his family. Marco is an amazing kid. He has experience having boxed 10 years and 135 amatør kamper. He has good looks and a good personality, great sense of humor, speaks very well in English and Spanish, maturity beyond his years, and a work ethic that’s difficult to find in boxing.

“He’s hungry to be successful in life and knows that boxing is the vehicle to get him there. And he’s with the right people who don’t need to feed people. Anything could go wrong like injuries or illnesses, but it’s all there for him and a clear path. In terms of potential, Marco is in a rare class as part of a typical Mexican American family, tight knit and expanding. He respects everyone and Marco is a once in a lifetime talent.”

Brown knows that a champion boxer needs a supportive team in his corner. Romero has that and much more. In addition to Brown, the team is comprised of Marco’s father, Salvador, who encouraged his son to become a boxer at the tender age of seven, and he has remained with Marco through every step of his boxing journey. Brown also brought in one of his former amateur champions, Sergio Flores, who is a very successful businessman. Flores handles the tough physical training aspects required for success in the ring along with mitt work to help keep Marco’s skills razor sharp.

Fans attending this Saturday night’s show in Portland can look back in a few years and say they saw The Future of Boxing, Marco “El Tiburon” Romero, when he was just an 18-year-old prospect starting out on his mission to greatness.

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.

Team Williams.jpg

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.»

VICTORY BOXING PROMOTIONS INKS NATIONAL GOLDEN GLOVES CHAMPION KIANTE IRVING

PITTSBURGH – August 29, 2018 – Chris Middendorf’s Victory Boxing Promotions has signed under-the-radar amateur Kiante Irving to a promotional deal. Den 24 year-old middleweight is set to make his professional debut this Sunday in West Virginia.

 

 

 

A 6’3″ mellomvekt, Irving heads into Sunday’s debut with a National Golden Gloves Championship under his belt, having topped the 165-pound division in the 2018 turnering. Despite a slew of state and national titles under his belt, Irving began boxing late, compared to his peers.

 

 

Han var 16 when he walked into Tom Yankello’s gym, having been drawn to the squared circle after being unable to find his niche in other sports. Raised by a single mom, boxing was an outlet for Irving, and served as an escape from the poverty and stress that ensconced his home life. It soon became clear that boxing would long be a part of his future.

 

 

 

A humble spirit, Irving kept his head down and his eye on the ball through various family traumas that included an eviction and his brother’s near-fatal battle with Chrohn’s Disease. His younger brother, whom he credits as an inspiration and role model, survived the brush with death to become a firefighter. Irving hopes to use his time in the ring to boost awareness of the disease, and to seize the opportunity to live out his dreams, much like his brother has done in recent years.

 

 

 

After his Golden Gloves Victory, Irving’s trainer Tom Yankello, and his brother and co-manager Mark Yankello, along with Irving, came to the decision that it was time to join the professional ranks. The two managers, operating under the banner Tom Yankello Boxing, Inc., connected with boxing promoter Chris Middendorf and Victory Boxing Promotions. Middendorf, who has helped build the careers of many of today’s world champions, seized the opportunity to work with Irving and the Yankellos.

 

 

 

I am very excited to add Kiante to Victory Boxing’s stable,” said Middendorf. I had the pleasure of doing a series of shows in Pittsburgh with welterweight Sammy Vasquez, culminating in an ESPN and then a ShowBox show, and a series of events at Consol Energy Center [now the PPG Arena.] I can’t wait to be back in Pittsburgh, promoting another top prospect. It really is a tremendous sports town, and they really come out to support their local athletes.

 

 

 

Middendorf was complimentary of the Yankello Brothers. “I have known his trainer and co-manager, Tom and Mark Yankello, henholdsvis, by reputation for many years, and have enjoyed working with them. When Mark first spoke to me about Kiante, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with the Yankellos and promote Kiante Irving. With his stellar amateur career, he is ready to be a pro.

 

 

 

The future looks bright (and busy) for Irving. “I plan to build and move Kiante the same way that I moved Ed Brown and Jaron Ennis. I have promised him a minimum of eight fights in his first year, and I know we will do more. He is a gifted athlete and it is going to be something to watch him develop into one of the top middleweights.

 

 

 

For hans del, Tom Yankello is excited about the young pugilist’s future with Middendorf and Victory Boxing Promotions. “I am very pleased with Victory Boxing Promotions. I have known Chris for many years, and he has a great resume and has been involved with building the careers of elite boxers such as Terence Crawford, Leo Santa Cruz, og Nonito Donaire. We know we’re in good hands, and that Chris knows how to move and develop Kiante.

 

 

 

I’m just excited to get my pro career moving,” said Irving of the signing. “My managers are confident, and I’m confident that we’re going to be successful under the Victory Boxing banner, and we will be getting right to work.

 

 

 

Irivng makes his professional debut this Sunday at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort, versus Philadelphia’s Vincent Burkhalter. Tickets are available at www.mademenboxing.com.

SHOWTIME® TO PREMIERE CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS, CHRONICLING THE INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY OF NEW YORK’S GOLDEN GLOVES FIGHTERS

 

 

Named “Best Feature” at 2017 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival;

CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS To Premiere Friday, September 21 på SHOWTIME

Utsikt, Del, Embed Trailer: https://s.sho.com/2Msfq0X

 

NEW YORK - August 27, 2018 - SHOWTIME has acquired the television rights to CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS, a documentary film that takes viewers through the New York Golden Gloves tournament, one of the most prestigious amateur boxing tournaments in the country. Written and directed by journalist Bartle Bull, the film will premiere Fredag, September 21 ved 8 pm. ET / PT på SHOWTIME.

 

CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS chronicles three inspiring fighters—James Wilkins, Nisa Rodriguez, and Titus Williams—as they navigate the 10-week tournament and fight their way among 500 boxers from the five boroughs, all vying for the coveted title of Golden Gloves champion. Through the three intertwined yet unique narratives, the film explores the pressures and sacrifices on the arduous journey toward boxing greatness.

 

 

 

Shot in a cinema verité-style with no voice-over narration, the character-driven narrative examines what it means to “fight for your life,” not only for the boxers, but also for their coaches, mentors, teammates and loved ones. CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS includes genuine characters and intimate revelations set against the gritty urban landscape of New York City to create a powerful and layered account of the 2015 turnering.

 

 

 

The film follows Williams and Wilkins as they battle through opposite sides of the 132-pound bracket. Williams is the tournament favorite on the brink of professional success. He is mentored by coach Joe Higgins, a retired New York City firefighter suffering from illnesses sustained during rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Wilkins, a Staten Island native who channels his propensity for fighting into an amateur career, aims to beat Williams and establish himself as a prospect to watch as he turns to the professional ranks. I mellomtiden, single mother and teacher Rodriquez—a five-time Golden Glove champion and self-proclaimed, “fighting pride of the South Bronx”—attempts to cement her legacy as she sets her sights on the 2016 Olympiske Trials.

 

CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS is Bull’s first endeavor into documentary filmmaking. A New York based author and journalist by trade who specializes in foreign affairs and the Middle East, Bull has appeared on NPR, Fox News, BBC, and other news outlets, and his work has been featured in New York Times, Washington Post, og Wall Street Journal.

 

CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS is executive produced by Donald Rosenfeld (Tree of Life, Jodorowsky’s Dune, Remains of the Day) and written and directed by Bull, in association with cinematographer Tom Hurwitz (The Queen of Versailles) and editor Michael Levine (Restrepo). The film was an official selection at the 2017 American Documentary Film Festival, den 2017 Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Doc NYC 2017.CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS was named Best Feature at the 2017 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.
