Two-Time Gold Medalist and Professional Superstar Claressa Shields and Her Team Send Congratulations to USA Boxing’s Olympic Medal Winners

Two-time Olympic champion Claressa Shields, from Flint, 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. ekip. 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, Ohio, who took home a bronze, as well as a pair of professional boxers in Duke Ragan (featherweight) and Keyshawn Davis (i lehtë), 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) në 2000 Olimpiada.


The 2020 Olympic Games featured the addition of two women’s weight divisions, bantamweight (119 lbs) dhe peshë e lehtë (152 lbs), which shows the continued growth of the sport of women’s boxing throughout the world.


Shields, 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 KO), 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, WBO, IBF and WBA champion at 154 £, Shields had previously unified all four of the major sanctioning body belts at middleweight (160 lbs.).


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.

Six Team USA Boxers Punch Ticket to Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

COLORADO SPRINGS, Prehër. (Maj 12, 2021) — The Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced today the 49 quota places, originally to be awarded at the Road to Tokyo Americas Qualifier, that were awarded to boxers to compete in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 this summer. The quota places included six Team USA boxers, which was based off the BTF Rankings.

“These six boxers have been staples within our program and have established themselves amongst the world’s best by their performances during the past quad,” stated USA Boxing High Performance DirectorMatt Johnson. “Now it is time for them to perform at the world’s biggest stage in Tokyo.”

Representing Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, pending United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee approval, do të jetëRashida Ellis (Lynn, Mass.) Virginia Fuchs(Houston, Texas), Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.), delante Johnson (Cleveland, Ohio), Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohio) dheRichard Torrez Jr. (Tulare, Calif.). All six boxers will be competing in their first Olympic Games.

2019 Elite Women’s World Championships bronze medalist Ellis will compete in the women’s lightweight (132 lbs./60 kg) ndarje. Ellis won bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games to add to her BTF rankings to solidify her position in Tokyo as the second highest ranked America’s boxer and 12th overall in her weight class. Ellis will be looking to win Team USA’s first women’s lightweight Olympic medal.

“Qualifying for the Olympics has been one of my deepest dreams,” mentioned Ellis. “I never doubt my ability. I have stopped being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right. Kështu, I embrace my mistakes and learn from them, as my mistakes have helped me improve and reach the Olympics. I don’t do easy; I make things happen. The hard work and dedication with effort and determination, I can succeed.”

Fuchs will represent Team USA in the flyweight division (112 lbs./51 kg). The 33-year-old will be looking to earn USA Boxing its second medal in the women’s flyweight division since the introduction of the event in London 2012. Fuchs brings an impressive resume to the ring, including a bronze medal at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and silver medal from the 2019 Pan American Games, which places her as the second highest America’s flyweight boxer and 16th overall in the BTF rankings.

“I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I am so excited I can finally call myself an Olympian,” stated Fuchs. “With all this world has been through and having to postpone the Olympics a whole year, I am proud to say I am one of the participants in what will be known as the most recognized Olympics in history. I am ready to represent my country in the most respected way and bring home the gold!"

2019 Pan American Games Graham is the highest seeded America’s female middleweight (165 lbs./75 kg) boxer in the BTF rankings, where she currently sits eighth overall. Graham earned points from her Pan American Games title, as well as her third-place finish at the 2018 Elite Women’s World Championships and top five finish at the 2019 edition. Graham, who will become USA Boxing’s first active female military member to compete in an Olympic Games, will be in contention to grab Team USA’s third straight Olympic gold medal in the women’s middleweight division.

“It feels unreal that I am going to the Olympics,” Graham stated when talking about earning her place to Tokyo. “I continue to surprise myself by finding my own limits, and then having the courage to blow past them.”

Joneswill step into the ring in one of the two newly added women’s weight classes, peshë e lehtë (152 lbs./69 kg) ndarje. Jones, who made history in 2019 with her gold medal performance at the Pan American Games, will look to continue making history by becoming the first Olympic gold medalists in her weight division. The 23-year-old added valuable points to her rankings with her top five placement at the 2019 Elite Women’s World Championships to finish as the top America’s boxer and seventh in the overall BTF rankings for the welterweight division to punch her ticket to the Olympics.

“I may only take up one spot, but my one spot represents so much,” shared Jones. “I’m beyond grateful for the chance to represent women, African Americans, my small city of Toledo, por më e rëndësishmja, my country.”

The second Ohioan to represent Team USA, Johnson, extends the streak of Cleveland-native boxing Olympians to four, following in the footsteps of Charles Conwell (2016), Terrell Gausha (2012) and Raynell Williams (2008). The welterweight (152 lbs./69 kg), who first caught the attention of the boxing world with his gold medal performance at the 2016 Youth World Championships, earned his ranking points through his bronze medal finish at the 2019 Pan American Games and top 16 placement at the 2019 Elite World Championships. Johnson was the third highest seeded America’s boxer and 19th overall.

“My struggles are my stripes, and I wear them on my back, so that the people around me can see that even when you’re living in a jungle, you can still chase your dreams,” stated Johnson. “I am not only doing this for my city, but for my two coaches, Dante Benjamin Sr. and Clint Martin, whom I lost during my journey to these Games.”

Torrez, the highest ranked super heavyweight (201+ lbs./91+ kg) boxer from the Americas and 11th i përgjithshëm, earned his place through his third-place performance at the 2019 Pan American Games and top five standing at that year’s Elite Men’s World Championships. Torrez, a former Youth World Championships bronze medalist, will be the first American boxer to compete in this weight class since 2012.

“Everyone is happy they’re going to the Olympics, it’s everyone’s dream, but I need to be there,” said Torrez. “The fire that was instilled in me before I could even walk, that drives me to be the best, the fire that has been in my family for generations, has overflowed. It has set ablaze all my second options, and it has made ashes of any other possibility besides that of success.”

Team USA will be guided by USA Boxing National Head Coach Billy Walsh during these Olympic Games.

“It is fantastic news for our six boxers who have worked endlessly for the past five years to become an Olympian,” Walsh shared. “We now focus on the next stage of the process, to become an Olympic Champion.”

The boxing competition will begin on Saturday, Korrik 24th (JST). Continue to checkusaboxing.org and USA Boxing’s social media platforms to stay updated on more information regarding the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Third-Generation Boxer Kayla Gomez Cornered by Mother and Grandmother / 2020 USA National Boxing Championships Mar. 25-Prill. 4, in Shreveport, Luiziana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Prehër. (Mars 15, 2021) – There is no more of a family affair in USA Boxing thanKayla Gomez’s, in which her motherCrystal Aceves, and grandmotherCindy Aceves, work her corner.

They will be together once again at the 2020 SHBA Kampionatet Kombëtare Boxing, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – Prill 3, in Shreveport, .

The 18-year-old Gomez, who lives in El Paso (TX), is a youth flyweight (112 lbs.) boksier, who finished second at the 2019 Kampionatet kombëtare, highlighting her first year in Youth competition. She has a growing supply of gold medals having finished on top at the 2019 & 2018 Hapja Rajonale Perëndimore, 2018 & 2017 Junior Open Championships, dhe 2018 & 2017 Hapja Rajonale Lindore. She is also a 5-time National Junior Olympic champion (2015 përmes 2019).  

A self-described multi-dimensional boxer, Kayla is a counter puncher and consummate boxer, displaying veteran-like “ringmanship,” but also capable of being a technical brawler and pressure fighter. She first started boxing in 2012 after watching a documentary on the 2012 Olympics.

“The inspiration of the boxers training to earn a gold medal motivated me to learn this unique sport,” Gomez explained. “I dedicate my whole life to boxing and as of right now, amateur boxing has impacted my life in a positive manner, paving my way in the near future to earn different accolades and experience for an Olympic gold medal and my pro career.”

Her mother, Crystal, is an amateur boxer who has competed in many tournaments. She will not compete in these championships this year because she is fully focused right now on her daughter and her future. She will be competing at other 2021 tournaments.

“As a boxer, my mom knows what it’s like to be in my position, so instead of getting mad at me, she gives me alternatives to do when I’m feeling low or not myself to have a better chance of being the best fighter I can be,” Kayla explained what it’s like having her mother and grandmother working her corner. “We all have a great relationship and work well in the ring together. They understand what it’s like to be in my position.”

A high school senior, Kayla is in a K-12 program for an online school due to her busy schedule. She does plan to attend college and share her boxing with educational opportunities.

“My education is just as important as my boxing,” She concluded. “I will attend college and work really hard to accomplish my goal of earning a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics and beginning my pro career afterwards.”

Kayla Gomez is a legacy boxer with a promising future.

Syracuse’s Amir Anderson Goes from underdog to top dog

2020 USA National Boxing Championships

Det. 25-Prill. 4, in Shreveport, Luiziana 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Prehër. (Mars 8, 2021) – In the 2019 USA National Boxing ChampionshipsAmir Anderson was 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 SHBA Kampionatet Kombëtare Boxing, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 Prill 3, in Shreveport, .

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. Dua të fitoj! 

“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. Tani, 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 Hapja Rajonale Lindore, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 National Junior Olympics.

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, shumë. When my gym opened-up last July 2nd, 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, shumë. 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.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.) – When the boxers of the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team arrived in Colorado Springs, Kolorado. this week they walked into a new training facility with just over six months left until the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and even less time to their qualification tournaments.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, USA Boxing athletes have not been allowed to train in the national boxing gym at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) since March 2020 and have had to continue to make adjustments to their training plans, which included training at the French National Training Center in Paris in late 2020.

After being told they would not be allowed to begin 2021 at the USOPTC, the coaching and national office staff had to find a new home to begin the final preparations for the qualification tournaments taking place in May and June.

“After spending most of 2020 waiting to be allowed entry back into our national gym at the Colorado Springs OPTC, it was time that we took matters into our own hands and established a training space that can properly accommodate our team’s training needs,” said Matt Johnson, USA Boxing High Performance Director.

USA Boxing ended 2020 and the beginning of 2021 moving all equipment, which included four boxing rings, numerous heavy bags and strength and conditioning equipment, from their gym at the USOPTC to an abandoned department store in a mall in Colorado Springs to hold training camps, while housing the boxers and coaching staff at the nearby Hotel Eleganté.

“We are able to continue to move forward in this COVID environment by applying multi-layer protection protocols, pre-travel testing, mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, regular cleaning, regular rapid antigen testing, daily health surveys and follow up PRC pool testing, as well as provide a top notch training facility in our temporary facility, which we are greatly thankful for John Bushman, owner of Hotel Eleganté and the training facility, to help provide these opportunities to our boxers,” stated Mike McAtee, USA Boxing Executive Director.

“The training facility and environment we have created has greatly reduced the risk to our boxers and coaches. USA Boxing strives to fulfill our stated mission to our boxers, ‘… (në) inspire the tireless pursuit of Olympic gold and enable our boxers and coaches to achieve sustained competitive excellence…’ in the face of a worldwide pandemic.”

The first training camp of 2021 began Jan. 14 and will run until Feb. 18, before the boxers head to Bulgaria and Spain for international competitions. USA Boxing will hold the final training camp before the America’s Olympic Qualification Tournament at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center, in Chula Vista, Calif., in another makeshift boxing gym, which held the final training camp of 2020 në nëntor.

Unë personalisht mendoj se ky ka qenë një bekim i maskuar, sepse kam më shumë kohë për të përmirësuar gjërat që trajnerët e SHBA më kanë thënë të punoj. Unë jetoj në një apartament në Lansing (MY), por unë kam qenë duke qëndruar me mamanë time në Grand Rapids në mënyrë që të mund të stërvitem komodisht. Weshtë e çuditshme në një farë mënyre, por më ka marrë malli për tu grushtuar. Jam përpjekur të përshtatem me normalin e ri, por mezi pres të kthehem në qendrën e trajnimit (në Colorado Springs).

“Më pëlqen që mund ta shoh vajzën time çdo ditë për t'i dhënë asaj gjithë vëmendjen time, por asaj i mungon palestra po aq sa unë. Gruaja dhe nëna ime kanë qenë shumë mbështetëse. Unë besoj se duke pritur një vit tjetër do të më bëjë më të mirë deri në momentin kur Lojërat Olimpike janë këtu.”

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohio), 22-peshë e lehtë vjeçare, Renditja në SHBA #1
Performancat e Medaljes së Artë: 2020 Provat e Ekipit Olimpik, 3-kohë Kampionatet Kombëtare Elite (2016-2019), 2017 Kualifikuesi i Elitës Lindore, 2016 Open Youth, 2014 PAL Kombëtare. Ndërkombëtare: 2020 Turneu Strandja & 2019 Lojërat Panamerikane

Jones kishte qenë në një listë që çoi deri në kualifikuesin e shtyrë të Amerikës për të bllokuar një vend në listë 2020 Ekipi Ekipi Olimpik i Boksit në SHBA. Ajo ka qenë duke u stërvitur në palestrën e familjes së saj në Toledo, si dhe përfshirja më e madhe në shërbimet dhe funksionet e komunitetit.



“Unë nuk jam përshtatur me jetën pa boks, sepse boksi nuk do të largohet kurrë nga jeta ime. Familja ime / trajnerët kanë një palestër të lidhur me shtëpinë tonë në të cilën jetojmë. Boksi nuk është një sport, është një mënyrë jetese .

“Zemra më ra kur dëgjova për herë të parë që Lojërat Olimpike ishin shtyrë. Gjithçka për të cilën kam punuar, në thelb, gjithë jeta ime është në pauzë deri në korrikun e ardhshëm. Unë nuk e di se si ndihem apo si të shpreh se si ndihem. E vetmja gjë që mund të bëj është të përpiqem të qëndroj e motivuar.”


EKIPI I PERFORMANC HIGHS S LART TOUTH RINIS

Arjan Iseni (Ishulli Staten, Nju Jork), 17-pesha e lehte e vjeter, Renditja në SHBA #1
Performancat e Medaljes së Artë: 2019 Kampionatet Kombëtare të Rinisë, Hapja Rajonale Lindore & Open Youth

Iseni jeton në epiqendrën e Coronavirusit, Ishulli Staten, NY. Ai dhe babai i tij ndërtuan një unazë të vogël në oborrin e shtëpisë së tyre (shih foton më poshtë) sepse ai nuk mund të stërvitej në asnjë palestër.

“Veryshtë shumë e vështirë të dihet se nuk do të jem në gjendje të përfaqësoj Team USA këtë vit në asnjë turne ndërkombëtar. Ky është viti im i fundit si boksier për të rinj, por unë kam qenë duke u stërvitur shumë fort gjatë karantinës, dhe unë do të jem i gatshëm për gjithçka që do të vijë më pas.

“Shtë e vështirë të dish se nuk do të luftoj shpejt, por kjo më jep më shumë kohë për të përsosur të metat e vogla në lojën time, dhe unë do të rikthehem më i fortë kur të mbarojë gjithçka. Shpresojmë, gjithçka kthehet në normalitet së shpejti, kështu që unë mund t'i kthehem luftimeve në mënyrë aktive dhe shpresoj ta bëj Team USA si një boksier elitar.”


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Hawaii), 17-pesha e një viti, Renditja në SHBA #1
Performancat e Medaljes së Artë: 2019 Kampionatet Kombëtare të Rinisë & Hapja Rajonale Perëndimore; 2018 Kampionatet Kombëtare të Rinisë & Hapen Rajonet Perëndimore; 2017 Lojërat Olimpike Kombëtare për të Rinj & Doreza kombëtare Artë

Patricio jeton më larg nga kampi stërvitor dhe shokët e saj të skuadrës, por familja e saj ka një palestër boksi, dhe trajnimi / sparring nuk është problem për të sepse ajo ka tetë vëllezër e motra.



“Ne jemi në karantinë dhe unë i jam përshtatur jetës pa luftë duke vazhduar të stërvitem në palestrën tonë personale me vëllezërit e motrat e mi. Stërvitja nuk ka qenë një problem për ne, sepse ne kemi palestrën tonë personale. Ne pastrojmë të gjitha pajisjet dhe palestrën para dhe pas trajnimit. Meqenëse nuk ka luftime që vijnë së shpejti, ne kemi qenë duke mprehur aftësitë tona dhe duke ndërtuar më shumë njohuri Ne kemi qenë duke fituar forcë dhe duke mbajtur qëndrueshmërinë tonë. Në fundjavë, babai im ngas një biçikletë ndërsa ne drejtojmë xhiro për të marrë dritën e diellit, dhe nganjëherë ne bëjmë stërvitje sprint jashtë.

“Familja jonë është një familje boksi që filloi me babanë tim pasi ai ishte boksier. Ai filloi të më stërviste, vetëm për mbrojtje, por filloi të bëhej serioz në 2015 kur fitova turneun tim të parë në Kansas. Të gjithë vëllezërit e motrat e mi janë gjithashtu boksierë dhe ata janë gjithashtu kampionë me shumë kohë. Unë dhe vëllezërit e motrat e mi kemi marrë një ton të familjes kohë duke qëndruar në shtëpi së bashku. Kjo karantinë na ka bërë edhe më afër. Lidhja jonë na bën më të fortë individualisht dhe si një. Jam larg trajnimit në Colorado Springs, por shokët e mi të skuadrës janë vetëm një telefonatë larg. Unë jam në gjendje të qëndroj në kontakt dhe kjo është shumë e ngrohtë. Disa nga trajnerët më kontrollojnë për të parë se si kam shkuar. Kam pritur me padurim të gjitha turnet që kam planifikuar të luftoj dhe jam i zhgënjyer që janë shtyrë, por kam më shumë kohë për tu përgatitur edhe më mirë për luftën time të radhës.”

EKIPI I PERFORMANC HIGHS S HIGH LART JUNIOR

Steven Navarro (Los Anxhelos, Kaliforni) 16-pesha e një viti, Renditja në SHBA #1
Performancat e Medaljes së Artë: 2019 Kampionatet Kombëtare të Juniorëve & PAL Kombëtare; 2018 Kampionatet Kombëtare të Juniorëve; 2017 Prep Open & Hapja Rajonale Perëndimore

Navarro po stërvitej në Colorado Springs për t'u përgatitur për konkursin ndërkombëtar në Bullgari, por udhëtimi u anulua dy ditë para se Navarro dhe shokët e tij të skuadrës të planifikohej të largoheshin.



“Si anëtar i Ekipit të Boksit për Junior të SHBA-ve, Unë pres çdo luftë / turneu, sepse mund të jetë e fundit ime. Kështu që ishte shumë zemërthyer kur u njoftova se luftimet tona në Bullgari dhe luftrat e ardhshme ndërkombëtare u anuluan për shkak të kësaj pandemie. Unë vazhdoj të punoj aq fort sa bëj rregullisht: duke u zgjuar në 5 ne mengjes, duke vrapuar 5-6 milje në kodrat aty pranë, natyrisht e veshur me maskën time. Unë vij në shtëpi për të marrë klasat e mia në internet nga 9 paradite-2 pasdite, gjë që më jep një gjumë 2 orë para se të drejtohem në palestrën time private. Unë jam i vetmi person që stërvitet në palestrën time çdo ditë në 4:30 ores. Sapo të shkoj në palestër, Unë filloj të shtrihem për 3 raunde (3-raunde minutash), kuti hije për 5-7 raunde, atëherë godita pesë lloje thasësh me grusht (3 raunde secili). Më pas, Unë punoj dorashka (5-8 raunde) ku unë përqendrohem në lëvizje dhe situata të ndryshme që mund të ndodhin në një luftë. Unë shpesh godas çantën me fund të dyfishtë dhe çantën e shpejtësisë për të 3 raunde. Unë përfundoj stërvitjen time në boks me 15 min. të litarit të kërcimit.

“Unë trajnoj çdo ditë për 2 orë me babanë / trajnerin tim Refugio Navarro. Kjo pandemi është paksa e rrezikshme për shkak të mungesës së hyrjes në ndeshje. Kam tendencë të ‘lëviz’ me babanë tim një herë në javë, por përvoja është e ndryshme. Pasi të mbarojë, I drejtohem gjyshërve të mi’ shtëpia (vetëm një bllok larg shtëpisë sime) të bëj forcën dhe kushtëzimin tim. Unë mbaj një maskë dhe doreza kur punoj atje. Gjyshi im është një aparat gjimnastikor dhe ka rregullimin e tij të palestrës në garazhin e tij. Unë punoj me gjyshin tim për një orë të mirë, dezinfektimi i vazhdueshëm i të gjitha pajisjeve, ta mbyll ditën time. Unë punoj me ato që kam, i cili është një bekim. Boksi nuk është një sport sezoni, ju duhet të qëndroni gati gjatë gjithë vitit për çdo gjë, dhe kjo është ajo që unë vazhdoj të bëj ndërsa përpiqem për madhështi.”

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Texas), 14-peshe vjecare, Renditja në SHBA #2
Performancat e Medaljes së Artë: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Rajonale Lindore



Chavez është një anëtare e vitit të parë të Ekipit të Performancës së Lartë Junior dhe kampi i saj trajnues inaugurues në Colorado Springs u tërhoq prapa.

“Përshtatja me këtë stil të ri jetese nuk ka qenë më e lehtë. Jam mirënjohës që kam familjen time, pasi ne kemi qenë duke shkuar në vrapime të përditshme dhe stërvitje në parqe. Familja ime e kupton rëndësinë e atletizmit tim dhe qëndrimin në formë, e cila është arsyeja pse ne vazhdojmë të motivojmë njëri-tjetrin gjatë kësaj kohe të vështirë. Nuk jam i sigurt kur jetët tona do të kthehen në normalitet, prandaj jam akoma i përgatitur në çdo kohë.

“Gjërat që unë pres më shumë në kampin në Colorado Springs është takimi me femra të tjera të reja në ekip, si dhe të mësuarit e stileve të ndryshme që ato sjellin. Unë gjithashtu pres të krijoj lidhje midis shokëve të mi të rinj të skuadrës dhe trajnerëve nga i gjithë kombi.”
