Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, JR. Benefited from sparring with undisputed world lightweight champion Katie Taylor
波士頓 (二月 17, 2021) – Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, JR. hasn’t made his pro debut yet, but he did get the opportunity to recently spar with undisputed world lightweight champion凱蒂·泰勒 (17-0, 6 科斯), 該 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ireland, who was a 5-time AIBA world champion as an amateur.
The 28-year-old Anderson, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, was supposed to make his pro debut earlier this year in Mexico. He showed up but his opponent tested positive for COVID-19 and their fight was canceled.
Taylor frequently travels from Ireland to Connecticut, where she prepares for fights with her trainer, Ross Enamait.
安德森, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 洛基馬爾恰諾錦標賽, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.
Anderson benefitted from being a southpaw when his trainer, Marc Gargaro, was contacted by Enamait about needing a lefthanded sparring partner for Taylor. “I’ve only sparred with her once,” Anderson said, “but I believe I will be getting more work with Katie at her training camp in the near future. I’ve already been asked back for more sparring.
“In the ring, Katie is patient, 銳, and quick with her combinations. She also doesn’t waste any movements all all. She is very tough and aggressive. Outside the ring, she is very nice, always smiling when talking, and a generous, decent human being.”
There’s nothing better for a young boxer than to train and spar with a world-class athlete, even if it’s a female against a male, the experience in invaluable.
I believe getting experience with a world champion helped me build up my confidence. It definitely opened my mind and eyes to trying new things like different movements and combinations, as well as make sure my defense and foot work was on point. Learning to become better at changing the tempo of combinations I was throwing. Also, realizing the things Katie did during and after sparring, understanding her mentality, and letting me know and see what it takes to be the best in the world, will help me grow big-time as a boxer.
“It is a little different sparring a woman but, 老老實實, it helped me work on my craft in areas I’ve been trying to improve on. I am still available to give and get good, solid work and effort. It’s expanding my mind, I was still able to pick and choose when to dig hard shots to make sure I was still solidly sparring for her, unlike with guys’ majority of punches are thrown hard.
Ortiz’ manager瑞安·羅奇(Ryan Roach) 評論: “This is a great opportunity for Troy. Anytime you share the ring with a world champion, even sparring, is a great way to elevate your level of confidence. As many know there are a lot of levels to this sport and these opportunities are crucial in building a fighter. I am really proud of Troy. His debut got pushed back, but he’s stayed in the gym and remains positive waiting for his shot. He has a great coach and team at Nonantum Boxing.”
Sparring Taylor may not have erased the disappointment of Anderson’s pro debut being canceled; 然而, the experience will surely make him a better fighter.
“Sparring a world champion was unbelievable,” Anderson concluded. “Just having the opportunity to step foot in the ring with world champion Katie Taylor was amazing. Literally, leading up to the day of sparring, that’s all I could focus on and think about. I was extremely locked in, because I wanted to give Katie Taylor good work and show her that reaching out to my coach Marc was not a mistake, and his words about me were solid. Seeing how Katie is when moving, throwing combinations, and on defense picking and choosing when to be aggressive and not, is unexplainable. It was truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the experience and opportunity to be able to spar with a world champion, Katie Taylor”

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM
Boxing’s top female athletes have no “家”, no network to showcase their talent |
即時發布 紐約 — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America. The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve. This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet. 阿曼達·塞拉諾, 希瑟哈迪, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa盾, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, 兩屆奧運會金牌得主, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League. The unified champion from Flint, 密歇根, told The Athletic that, “這是 (拳擊) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. 三個全部. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.” “These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” 說婁DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.” Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand. At the top levels, women are passed over. 希瑟哈迪, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” 哈迪說. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.” “It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” 哈迪說. “We have no place or professional home of our own.” “This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.” The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes. “Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.” The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, 傳媒, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action. Use the hashtag #WeKeepFighting to follow the movement and to join the conversation on social media. |

在 COVID-19 大流行期間,她一直在準備參加 2020 美國拳擊全國錦標賽, 十二月 5-12, 在什里夫波特的什里夫波特會議中心, 路易斯安那州。

塔皮亞, 作為業餘選手,他曾兩次獲得全國金手套冠軍, 對莫留的生活產生了巨大的影響, 永遠不會離開她的心和靈魂的東西。
“我們變得像家人一樣,”這位 21 歲的年輕人解釋道。 “首先, 他 (約翰尼) 不喜歡女孩拳擊, 所以他真的很努力地工作。我是一名出色的籃球運動員,他一直告訴我去打籃球。但他成了我生命中的大人物, 我想, 因為我在這麼小的年紀就失去了我的母親。他在很多方面幫助我進出戒指。約翰尼塔皮亞是最好的, 我見過的最謙虛的人。我們成了家人,直到健身房分崩離析。他只教了我大約八個月, 但他教會了我拳擊將你定義為一個人。我在環中感到安全。因為約翰尼和拳擊,我變得更好了。”
與父親/教練一起訓練約魯巴·莫魯 疫情期間, 雖然找到好的陪練很有挑戰性, 沒有像其他人那樣嚴重,因為她的健身房在後院。自去年 12 月的奧運選拔賽以來,她就沒有參加過比賽。
“我很高興能重返賽場,因為我已經很久沒有比賽了,” 莫留望向什里夫波特。 “肯定會不一樣, 因為有很多新面孔來爭奪第一名, 這讓戰鬥變得有趣且值得。”
自豪地代表美國參加比賽, Sharahya-Taina 為她的美洲原住民和波多黎各傳統感到自豪, 她開始為女性而戰。
“我喜歡擁抱我文化的雙方,”她評論道, “代表我母親的阿科馬方面和來自波多黎各血統的泰諾血統, 這就是為什麼我的名字是 Sharahya-Taina。每一天都是為女性而戰。我只是讓大家知道並明確我們會留下來。我不只是為自己而戰。我也在為我的家人而戰, 選擇拿起一副手套的祖先和下一代女性。我們的目標不僅僅是成為擂台上的冠軍, 但在外面, 也。”
Moreu在從青年到精英部門的發展過程中非常成功, 贏得 2017 青年全國錦標賽和西部地區公開賽, 以及 2016 和 2017 青年公開賽。她還獲得了亞軍 2018 精英全國錦標賽和西部精英預選賽, 加上 2015 全國青少年奧林匹克運動會。
Sharahya-Taina Moreu 是一名執行任務的年輕女性。她希望參加比賽 2024 巴黎奧運會, 尤其是和她的弟弟,如果他們都有資格的話, 正如她所說, “奧林匹克拳擊界的標誌性兄弟姐妹二人組。”

Sa’Rai Brown-El : The future of women’s boxing – 2020 美國拳擊國民, 十二月. 5-12, 什里夫波特, 路易斯安那州
科羅拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (十一月 9, 2020) – The future of women’s boxing, 也許, is 15-year-oldSa’Rai Brown-El, who has already captured top honors in 11 national and regional tournaments.
Since she started boxing in 2015, Sa’Rai has collected gold medals at the 2019 Junior Open, 2019 國家PAL, 2019 & 2017 全國少年奧運會, 2017 Western Regional Open, and Eastern Regional Open in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
“I stayed focused and hungry and, 最重要的, humble,” she spoke about her success in the junior division. “No matter how much you’ve accomplished or the number of accolades you’ve gotten, always stay hungry and always strive for more.”
Boxing started for her when she was 10, training at Lugo Boxing and Fitness in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to that in her native Albany (紐約), she went to her uncle’s gym and found a pair of boxing gloves.
“I fell in love with boxing when I found that first pair of gloves,” Brown-El explained. “I first started boxing because, 當時, my dad didn’t agree with me. I saw a lot of people who didn’t agree with females competing in a male dominated sport, so I wanted to prove those people wrong. I just love boxing because my whole family boxes.”
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely effected most boxers, who were limited in terms of training and sparring, in addition to being shutout of tournaments. Brown-El, 然而, made the best of a bad situation, running miles with her siblings, cardio mitt work with her father, and much more.
Brown-El has her sights firmly set on the 2020 美國拳擊全國錦標賽, 十二月 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, 路易斯安那州。
“I am super excited and super focused on the National Championships,” she added. “I am fighting to get on the USA High Performance Team for my second year. I really want this and I will be working hard every day. My goal for now is to be on Team USA for the second time. I want to fight internationally and be Number 1 in the world.”
Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.
“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 奧運會, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.
“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, sleep, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”
Sa’Rai Brown-El is on a golden path to stardom. She represents the future!
