Georgia flyweight Sa’Rai “Warrior Princess” Brown-El the future face of women’s boxing

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Новембар 14, 2022) – Georgia flyweight Sa’Rai “Warrior Princess” Brown-El is on a sensational run as she prepares to compete in the upcoming Youth World Championships, Новембар 14-26, in La Nucia, Шпанија.

The 17-year-old from Marietta is a three-time National Junior Olympic champion (2017-19) who has also captured gold medals at the 2021 USA Boxing Youth National Championships, 2020 USA Boxing Junior National Championships, 2019 Junior Open and 2019 Национални ПАЛ, among the many titles she owns.

She got into boxing at the age of 8 in Albany, Њујорк, where her family was visiting, eventually leading them all to her uncle’s gym. Her father originally wanted her brothers to box, but Sa’Rai also wanted to get involved in combat sports. It was a natural transition for her, who is a legacy boxer because her father, mother and brothers have all boxed.

“Me and my mom went to find a pair of gloves after we were told there weren’t any left. I started hitting the bag and then I did mitts with my uncle. That’s where I fell in love with the sport and discovered I was naturally born to do this.”

She has excelled in every area on her remarkable roll, which she will attempt to extend at the Youth World Championships over the next two weeks.

“I am super pumped and ready to go to Spain for the Youth Worlds,” the ultra-confident Sa’Rai said. “My mindset is on gold. My manifestation and hard work will put me in top by the last day with the gold medal around my neck on that number one podium. It’s truly a blessing to be representing the USA.

“My biggest challenge is probably myself; boxing is 90-percent mental, meaning I have to have a mindset that nothing can be hard enough to stop me from reaching my goals. My short-range goals, одмах, are to win the Youth Worlds and finish out the year making the Youth High Performance Team. Long range, I’d say, is to fight in the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Being world champ, looked up to as an inspiration to all and, најважније, having proven to be the most feared female boxer.”

Brown-El believes USA Boxing has helped in terms of working against other styles at tournaments, in addition to benefiting from training with her elite stablemates, and under the guidance of world-class coaches, at the state-of-the-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Колорадо.

“I can show my skills and have learned many other skills and drills there (training center) to become a universal boxer,” she noted. “I’ve been able to go against every style there is in international fighting and be able to dominate every time. USA Boxing has taught me very valuable lessons: to be professional, disciplined and dedicated, because there are a lot of obstacles that come with it. За мене, being professional is the only way to have a career in this sport.”
Winning at the 2021 National to be part of the 2022 Youth High Performance Team, до сада, are the highlights of her relatively young boxing career. To win that gold medal, Sa’Rai explained, she needed to push through injuries that nearly forced her to pull out of the tournament.

Brown-El has a high ring IQ. У основи, the sweet science is about hitting the opponent without getting hit, especially in Olympic style boxing. Her ring IQ is advanced beyond her years, using angles, constantly moving, and confusing her opponent with her evasiveness. И, Brown-El quickly adds, that doesn’t mean she won’t bang if needed.

“I love representing my country,” she concluded. “I want to show the world we are the greatest. Team USA will come out on top at the Youth Worlds. My message for U.S. boxing fans is to keep watching. The future of boxing is coming in hot!"

Pennsylvania featherweight Cornellio Phipps living the dream 2022 Youth World Championships November 14-26 in La Nucia, Шпанија

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Новембар 10, 2022) – As talented featherweight Cornellio “Chada” Phipps prepares for the upcoming Youth World Championships, he admits to living the dream, and before he turns pro in a few years, the Olympic-style boxing plan for him is medaling in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The 17-year-old Phipps, who fights out of Oxford, Па., first got into boxing four years ago on the advice of his father. Phipps played basketball and football, but he didn’t feel either of those were his true spot. He actually fell in love with boxing while watching fights before he even boxed, when he was seven.   

“I tell people to never give up their dreams, to keep punching, and never let anybody doubt you,” Phipps said. “This feels good (preparing for the Youth Worlds). I never thought I’d get to this stage. It’s been tough but fun. I’m on Team USA representing my country.

“It starts on the big stage by me medaling at the Youth Worlds (Новембар 14-26, in La Nucia, Шпанија). Being on Team USA has made a big difference for me. I’ve learned how to box against different moves, understanding the points system, and how to win. Training in Colorado Springs has helped me to succeed and also have fun learning from my new coaches.”

Phipps has already tasted success prior to the Youth Worlds. He has captured gold medals at the 2022 USA Boxing National Qualifier, 2021 USA Boxing Youth National Championships, као и 2020 и 2019 Junior National Championships.

All-around boxer-puncher is the best way to describe Phipps style in the ring. He can brawl, кутија, and move around well. “I’m more of a boxer than brawler,” he noted. “I can fight on the outside or lay on the ropes. I move and show angles, plus I can easily switch to southpaw (from his orthodox stance)."

Like many of his young USA Boxing teammates, the Youth Worlds will be the first international competition of his career. These championships is something he is really looking forward to for a wide variety of reasons.

“I’m excited to be fighting on my first international competition at the Youth Worlds in Spain,” Phipps concluded. “I was supposed to fight in a tournament in Bulgaria in 2020, but that was canceled due to COVID. I’m going to show my skills at the Youth Worlds to prove I belong at the top level, and that is the Olympics.”

Competition begins in La Nucia, Spain on Tuesday, Нов. 15 and can be followed along byclicking here.

Четири боксера тима САД иду у финале 2021 Свецка првенства

УСА Бокинг лого.пнг
БЕОГРАД, Србија (Новембар 4, 2021) — Тим САД је импресиван 2021 Елитно светско првенство за мушкарце наставља се у финале, пошто су четири боксера победила у својим полуфиналним мечевима да би се пласирала у свој првенствени меч.

Муха категорија Росцое Хилл (Пролеће, Тексас) отпочео је вечерњу сесију за тим САД доминирајући у моди над својим противником, Ахтем Закиров, боксерске федерације Русије. Хил је искористио своју висину у потпуности у односу на Закирова да узме свих пет судијских карата у свакој рунди. Хилл ће се суочити са 2020 освајач бронзане олимпијске медаље и 2019 Освајач бронзане медаље на Светском првенству Сакен Бибосинов из Казахстана у суботу.

Американац ће изгледати да постане први амерички светски шампион у перо категорији од када је Рау'ши Ворен постигао тај подвиг у 2007. Хил је такође први освајач медаље на Светском првенству у мушој категорији од тада 2011, када је Ворен освојио сребро.

Јахмал Харвеи (Окон Хилл, Мд.) покупио је своју четврту победу на овим светским првенствима како би обезбедио место у финалу перо категорије. Харвеи, који се суочавао 2020 олимпијац Семјуел Кисохури из Француске, почео је меч изузетно снажно, узимање свих пет судијских карата на крају рунде. Американац није успорио ни у другом, поново узимајући свих пет карата да бисте имали удобно вођство у последњој рунди.

Чак и са а 3-2 последња рунда у корист Кисохурија, 18-годишњи Американац тврдио је једногласну одлуку да организује финале против 2020 Олимпијац Серик Темиржанов из Казахстана у суботу.

Рахим Гонзалес (Лас Вегас, Невада) завршио вечерњу сесију са оним што би могло да буде меч целог Светског првенства. Гонзалес је био суочен са тешким задатком да изађе у ринг са српским Владимиром Мирончиковим.

После виђења у првом кругу иде у корист Мирончикова, 4-1, Гонзалес се вратио јак у другом колу, узимајући круг 3-2. Са борбом на линији, амерички полутешкаш није одустао и оставио је све у рингу да би зграбио свих пет судијских карата и коначну одлуку, 3-2. Гонзалес, који је од тада освојио тек четврту медаљу на Светском првенству у полутешкој категорији 1974 и први освајачи медаља од злата Мајкла Симса 1999, ће изаћи у ринг у суботу са Алиаксеи Алфиорау из Белорусије.

полутешка Омари Џонс (Орландо, Фла.) требало је да се такмичи против Лаше Гурулија из Грузије на првој сесији дана, међутим, Гурули је одустао од такмичења због повреде, напредовање Џонса у финале против 2020 Олимпијац Севонретс Оказава из Јапана, сутра.

Џонсу је сада загарантована сребрна или златна медаља у свом дебију на Светском првенству и постаје први Американац који је освојио медаљу на Светском првенству у велтер категорији откако је Деметријус Андраде освојио злато у 2007.

Џонс ће се такмичити у сутрашњем првом дану финала, док Харви, Хил и Гонзалес ће изаћи у ринг у суботу. Кликните овде да бисте пратили све акције.

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) подела. 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 12тх 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. Тако, 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 Пан Америцан Гамес, which places her as the second highest America’s flyweight boxer and 16тх 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, велтер (152 lbs./69 kg) подела. Џонс, 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, али што је најважније, my country.”

The second Ohioan to represent Team USA, Џонсон, extends the streak of Cleveland-native boxing Olympians to four, following in the footsteps of Charles Conwell (2016), Террелл Гаусха (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 19тх 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 11тх уопште, 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.
