CLARESSA ŠTÍTY DOMINUJE MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, VYDÁVA HISTÓRIU AKO PRVÝ BOXER, KTORÝ SA MÁ VYROBIŤ NEVYHNUTÝM ŠAMPIONOM V DRUHOM ROZDELENÍ S HMOTNOSŤOU

DEFEKTOVANÝ HVIEZDNY CITES JÚN V LAS VEGAS ZA JEJ DEBUTU MMA; VYZÝVA KATIE TAYLOR A SAVANNAH MARSHALL V ROZHOVORE PO PÁTE

(Piatok, Marec 5, 2021 - Flint, MY) Dámska superstar Claressa Shields v piatok večer podporila svoje tvrdenie ako boxerské „GWOAT“ a stala sa jednotnou WBC, WBO, IBF & Majster sveta WBA Super Junior v strednej váhe, skórovaním jednostranného 10-kolového jednomyseľného rozhodnutia Marie-Eve Dicaire St-Eustache, Quebec, Kanada, na desaťkolovom hlavnom podujatí historického turnaja „všetkých žien“SUPERŽENY: ŠTÍTY VS. DICAIRE udalosť vo finančnom centre Dort a naživo na pay-per-view v Shieldovom rodnom meste Flint, Michigan.

Shields (11-0, 2 KO) sa tiež stala prvým boxerom v ére štyroch opaskov, ktorý sa vďaka svojmu víťazstvu v shutoute stal nespochybniteľnou majsterkou sveta v dvoch váhových divíziách (100-90 všetci traja sudcovia) teraz bývalý šampión Dicaire (17-1).

Netypicky, 25-ročný Shields sa začiatkom tohto zápasu stal kontrapunkerom, vyrovnať pokusy Dicaire odraziť sa do a z dosahu. Spoliehanie sa na jej reflexy potrestá akýkoľvek pokus o agresiu Dicaire, Shields vypol Kanaďana a potom sa v zápase opäť vrátil k svojej obvyklej agresii.

Dicaire pristál kvalitnou južnou labkou, ktorá zostala na Shields v štvrtom kole, možno jej jediná významná rana boja, a Shields to jednoducho bezvýsledne striaslo.

Nemôžem sa hnevať na svoj výkon,“Povedal Shields po zápase. "Stále ma lakte a tĺkla hlavou.". Snažil som sa o knokaut a takmer som ho mal párkrát, ale máme dve minúty a rozhodca to nerozbije, keď ma drží a lakte. Som šťastná, ale stále som chcela vyradenie. Len som nemal dosť času. Koniec koncov, Som nový nespochybniteľný šampión v 154 a prvý boxer, ktorý má byť nespochybniteľným šampiónom dvakrát. “

Shields povedala, že je šťastná, že svoj najnovší kúsok histórie dokončila pred svojou rodinou a priateľmi vo Flint, aj keby pandémia znamenala oveľa menej prítomných fanúšikov.

"S Covidom.", nemohli by sme mať plnú kapacitu. Tu sú 300 tu a to je kapacita dňa, takže máme plný dom. Nemohli sme mať plnú kapacitu, ale viem, či by sme mohli mať, mali by sme 6000 ľudia tu. Som rád, že som to tu mohol urobiť (vo Flinte). Začal som boxovať tu v Berston Fieldhouse o 11 rokov. Nikdy za milión rokov som si nemyslel, že budem na pay-per-view a budem bojovať za nespochybniteľný titul a budem jednou z najväčších hviezd v boxe. Chcel som len získať zlatú olympijskú medailu. Boh mi dal dve olympijské medaily. Mám 12 majstrovske opasky hned. Nepripadá mi reálne dvakrát povedať nespochybniteľné. ““

Keď sa ju pýtali na dve z jej zvyšných súperiek v boxe, kolega z Írska Katie Taylor a jej jednorazová dobyvateľka medzi amatérmi, Savannah Marshall zo Spojeného kráľovstva, Štíty preplnené sebadôverou.

"Katie Taylor si nerobí starosti.". 147 libier je. Budú mi musieť veľa zaplatiť, aby som stratil zadok a išiel dolu 147. Koniec koncov, Som žena. Nemám veľké prsia, ale dostal som pekný zadok, tak poď s tým cestom a budem tam. Minimálne milión a budem tam.

"Savannah Marshall so mnou nemôže byť ***.". Poďme udržať skutočný. Savannah Marshall, vyhrali ste šťastné rozhodnutie, keď sme boli deti. Olympiádu organizoval aj Londýn. Ak sa chceš chváliť tým, že ma biješ 14 body na 8 ... no tak. A potom som sa stal majstrom sveta v troch rôznych divíziách a ona sa zlomila. Vie, že so mnou nemôže a nikdy nebude schopná. Môže prísť do Ameriky. Pojdem do UK. Môžeme ísť do Mexika. Môžeme ísť kamkoľvek, a ja ju budem f ***. Ona to vie. Bojí sa ma. Savannah Marshall to môže získať. Povedzte to Eddiem Hearnovi, prišiel ten buchot 250K. Povedzte mu, aby prišiel s 500 000… 750 000, ak chce, aby som šiel do Veľkej Británie a fajčil jeho dievča. Zaplať mi."

Dicaire pokračovala vo svojej láskavosti v otázkach po boji a sľúbila, že nenechá prehru utlmiť jej budúcnosť v športe.

"Myslím, že Claressa dnes večer odviedla dobrú prácu.",”Povedal Dicaire. "Dnes večer.", bola najlepšia. Niekedy vyhráte a niekedy sa naučíte. Dnes večer, učil som sa. Myslím si, že to mi len umožní posilniť sa. Nezaškrtávam, aby som chránil svoj záznam alebo aby som na ňom neuchovával svoj záznam 0 straty. Boxujem, aby som porazil šampiónov. Dnes večer, Mal som šancu bojovať so skutočným šampiónom. Tentokrát vyhrala, ale rátajte s tým, že sa vrátim do posilňovne a budem tvrdo pracovať a určite budem opäť majsterkou sveta.

Shields, ktorý hovorí, že jej veľmi medializovaný debut MMA bude pravdepodobne v júni v Las Vegas, hodil 409 údery v boji a pristáli 128 počítajúc v to 34.9% jej silových úderov. Dicaire hodil 263 údery na oplátku, ale pristál spravodlivo 31.

"Flint Michigan dostal najhoršieho boxera na svete."!”Povedal Shields svojim fanúšikom. "Boli sme dvakrát nesporní.". Pacquiao kto? Canelo kto? Keď niekto iný urobí to, čo som urobil, dajte mi vedieť. “



V noci je čo-hlavné udalosti, Houston je neporaziteľný Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) došlo k výraznému zlepšeniu a mala oveľa jednoduchšie chvíle v zápase proti Gruzínsku Monika „Lay Em Down“ Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), v tomto procese získal dominantné osemkolové jednomyseľné rozhodnutie a zároveň vyzdvihol WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship.

S dvoma päsťami trest od Mitchella neustále narastal s každým ďalším kolom, Rozhodca Gerard White rozhodol, že klopýtajúci a ustupujúci Bosques už mali dosť a milosrdne zviedli boj na 1:49 piateho.

"Bol som zonovaný.". Robil som všetko, čo vyhovovalo okamihu,”Povedal Mitchell, post-boj. "Takto som dostal knokaut.". Ďakujem mojim trénerom a Claresse Shieldsovej, že ma dostali na túto kartu. Toto je nezabudnuteľný okamih pre ženy. “

Pred dosiahnutím technického vyradenia, Mitchell pristál 48% (80/167) jej silových úderov, a 40% (94/234) z jej celkových úderov. Noemi Bosques iba pristála 24 na 153 údery.

"Rád sa vyberám, aby som šiel lepšie.",”Povedala Mitchell o svojom vystúpení. "Chcel som urobiť určité veci.", ale toto dievča nenazývajú vrátnikom pre nič za nič. Prial by som si, aby som ju odtiaľ dostal rýchlejšie a bol ostrejší svojím úderom. Bola trochu zložitá. “

V úvodnom zápase vysielania, 2012 Bronzový olympijský medailista Marlen esparza(9-1, 1 KO) zostala zaneprázdnená pred plánovanou výzvou šampióna WBC v mušej váhe Ibeth Zamora v apríli dominantným šesťkolovým jednomyseľným rozhodnutím nadShelly Barnett (teraz 4-4-2, 2 KO).

"Chcel som niekoho s väčšou váhou, pretože som nikdy nebojoval vyššie." 112 lbs. a myslím, že som to zvládla dobre. Som šťastný z toho, ako sa všetko odohralo. Som šťastná, že som bola súčasťou tejto udalosti a že opäť spolupracujem s Claressou. “

Marie-Eve Dicaire determined underdog against Claressa Shields inSuperwomenPPV this Friday Night

MONTREAL (Marec 1, 2021) – Unbeaten underdog Marie-Eve Dicaire, the reigning IBF female super welterweight World champion, has fully prepared physically and mentally for this Friday night’s undisputed showdown against undefeated WBC and WBO title holder and self-proclaimed GOAT Claressa Shields(10-0, 2 KO).

A tribute to International Women’s Day, “SUPERŽENY: ŠTÍTY VS. DICAIRE” will be broadcast live in USA on InDemand Pay Per View and streamed live on FITE.TV, and in Canada On Canal Indigo, Bell TV, Shaw TV and streamed live on FITE.TV and YOOP. počnúc 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT, from Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan. (To pre-order on FITE.TV prejsť na www.fitetv/watch/shields-vs-decaire/2p8qn/).

Dicaire (17-0), a popular French-Canadian boxer, understands and fully appreciates the significance of “SUPERŽENY”, and what an upset victory would do for her building brand, particularly outside her native Canada.

I allowed myself to be excited,” Dicaire explained. “I know it is a significant fight, but I made sure I’m focused on the task I need to accomplish and not the outcome of the fight. My strategy is based on my skills. Where she puts her focus is up to her. On my side, I did everything I had to get ready for this fight. And I am!

I’ve always said that boxing is a passion, and I am happy to make a living out of it,” she said. Ale, mne, it is more than that. It is a way to inspire people, to change society’s mentality. I want to achieve greatness to inspire people to dream big and this is what this fight is all about to me.

Vlani, 2-time Olympic boxing gold medalist Shields, who will be fighting Dicaire at home in Flint, Michigan, signed a multi-year deal with mixed-martial-arts promoter PFL. Her transition to MMA will reportedly happen this year.

Dicaire, ironicky, was a world amateur champion in karate before transitioning to boxing, in which she has defeated five world champions.

My karate background has always been a powerful tool for me in terms of mindset and work ethic,” Dicaire commented. “I was built in martial arts and I think it is what made me the strong athlete that I am now.

Tento piatok večer Shields vs. Dicarie will determine the No. 1 woman in the super welterweight division, if not in all of boxing.

Bostonská perová váha Troy Anderson, Jr. Ťažil zo sparingu s nespornou majsterkou sveta v ľahkej váhe Katie Taylor

BOSTON (Február 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 championKatie Taylor (17-0, 6 KO), the 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 trainerRoss Enamait.    

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament, 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 trainerMarc 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, ostrý, 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, poctivo, 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’ managerRyan Roach komentoval: “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; však, 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 “domáce”, no network to showcase their talent

TLAČOVÁ SPRÁVA

NEW YORKAs 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.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, Dvojnásobný olympijský víťaz, 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, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “To je (box) 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. Všetky tri. 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,” povedal Lou 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 fighterspurses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, 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,” Said Hardy. “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,” Said Hardy. “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 streamingwomen 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, médiá, 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.

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

The late Johnny Tapia remains strong influence for

Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu

2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Decembra. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (November 23, 2020) – The late, great Hall of Fame boxer Johnny Tapia played a significant role in the development of Albuquerque welterweight Sharahya-Taina Moreu, and the 3-division world champion remains a strong influence in her life.

During the COVID-19 pandemic she has been preparing to compete in the 2020 USA Boxerské Národné majstrovstvá, December 5-12, at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Tapia (shown below with his tattooed back to Moreu) helped Sharahya-Taina overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s automobile accident. She was only eight at the time, laying on her mother after the accident, and the first out of the car and onto the highway asking for help.

“At first,” she spoke about her relationship with Tapia, “I was regretful and angry, getting into fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing at 12, took anger management, and became motivated.”

Tapia, who was a 2-time National Golden Gloves champion as an amateur, had a tremendous impact on Moreu’s life, something that will never leave her heart and soul.

“We became like family,” the 21-year-old explained. “At first, on (Johnny) didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me really hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Myslím, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me for about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Training with her father/coachYoruba Moreu during the pandemic, although it was challenging to find good sparring, hasn’t been as much of a problem as for others because her gym is in the backyard. She hasn’t been in a fight since last December’s Olympic Trials.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring because I’ve gone too long without competition,” Moreu looked ahead to Shreveport. “It’s definitely going to be different, because there are a bunch of new faces coming for the number one spot, which makes it fun and worthy to fight.”

Proud to represent the United States in competition, Sharahya-Taina is proud of her Native American and Puerto Rican heritage, and she’s taken up the cause fighting for women.

“I love to embrace both sides of my culture,” she commented, “representing my Acoma side from my mother and Taino lineage from the Puerto Rican blood in me, and that’s why my name is Sharahya-Taina. Every day is a fight for women. I’m just making it known and clear that we are here to stay. I’m not just fighting for myself. I’m also fighting for my family, ancestors and the next generation of females who choose to pick up a pair of gloves. The goal is not to be just a champ in the ring, but on the outside, too.”

Moreu has been very successful in her development from youth to the elite division, winning the 2017 Youth National Championships and Western Regional Open, ako aj 2016 a 2017 Youth Open. She’s also been runner-up at the 2018 Elite National Championships and Western Elite Qualifier, plus the 2015 National Junior Olympics.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu is a young woman on a mission. She hopes to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, particularly with her younger brother if they both qualified to be, as she says, “an iconic brother/sister duo in Olympic boxing.”

Sa’Rai Brown-El : The future of women’s boxing – 2020 USA Boxing Nationals, Decembra. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (November 9, 2020) – The future of women’s boxing, možná, 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 Národný PAL, 2019 & 2017 National Junior Olympics, 2017 Western Regional Open, and Eastern Regional Open in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

“I stayed focused and hungry and, čo je najdôležitejšie, pokorný,” 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 (NY), 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, v tej dobe, 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, však, 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 USA Boxerské Národné majstrovstvá, December 5-12, at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“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.

Boxing a family affair for Idaho amateur boxer Kendra Samargis

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (Október 26, 2020) – Idaho middleweight boxer Kendra (Reeves) Samargisdecision four years ago to lose weight has led her onto a path to compete in the 2020 USA Boxerské Národné majstrovstvá, December 5-12, at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Boxing for the 26-year-old Samargis, who lives in Twin Falls, is a real family affair. She’s trained by her husband, Jason, and their two sons, Skyler Bellus (11) and Riley Marovich (8), are in USA Boxing. Skyler, vlastne, has competed in several tournaments in which his mother also fought.

I got into boxing just as a form of weight loss,” Kendra explained. “My husband had been a boxing coach for many years and he still had all of his equipment. We set it up in our garage and started training. Po prvé, starting out was the worst thing I had ever done. The amount of stamina, endurance, and strength that I needed to have was unreal. Slowly over time I lost tremendous weight, 73-pounds to be exact, and I came to love the sport.

I’m always asked what it’s like to be trained by my husband. I always say I have a secret weapon, someone who is in my corner who wants me to succeed just as much as I do and supports me throughout. Tiež, in times we’re at tournaments, I am never alone the night before a big fight and if I need a pep talk, he is right there. Teraz, my sons competing with me, dobre, that’s a different story. Being on the outside of the ring while my boys are competing is by far harder than any fight I have ever had. My mom-side definitely kicks in. Koniec koncov, hoci, I know how well trained they are, and I have to trust that. I don’t work their corners because that’s too close. I would throw in the towel every time. I have to be in the stands.

Kendra and both of her sons will be competing in Shreveport this year, despite having to train during the COVID-19 pandemic to prepare for the first national tournament of the year in the United States.

Training during the pandemic has been a blessing for me,” Kendra said. “We now own a gym in town. Tak, during the times we had to close our doors, môj manžel, kids and I were able to keep up with our training regimen. I learned so much during this time. We were actually able to slow things down and work on so many things that get overlooked. We are also very lucky to live in a small town, we only had to keep our gym closed for two months and we’ve been up and running since. I could only image how hard it must be for so many people during these times. We were very blessed to have a gym to get us through.

Currently ranked No. 10 na 152 pounds and No. 5 na 165, Kendra’s highlights thus far are winning gold medals at the 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier and 2018 Národná Golden rukavice Tournament.

An aggressive boxer who throws punches in bunches, Samargis believes she’s made dramatic improvement in the past years. She admittedly changed many different parts of her game, focusing more on movement, foot and head placements.

Nakoniec, she wants to capture top honors at multiple national tournaments, starting with this year’s Nationals Championship, and eventually turn pro to shoot for a world title. Pre túto chvíľu, hoci, she’s all in for the Nationals.

I am my biggest competition for this year’s National Championships,” she concluded. “Every day I want to be the best version of myself and every day I wake up to the haunting possibility I could fall back into the person that I used to be. I have to go to war everyday with myself to keep this person at bay. All of the hours of training, nutrition and mental preparation helps me accomplish this. Every day I can continue to be the best version of myself, focusing only on getting better, then who I compete against won’t matter.

I am beyond ready and excited for the National Championships this year. With the world coming to a halt this will be my first tournament of the year. I am ready to get back in the ring. Medaling will give me another national title under my belt and sharpen my resume for when I turn pro.

SUPERSTAR CLARESSA SHIELDS NAMED WOMEN’S BOXING #1 POUND-FOR-POUND BY THE RING AND ESPN

Women’s boxing superstar Claressa Shields has added two more impressive distinctions to her already unparalleled boxing career laurels.


25-year-old “T-Rex” Shields (10-0, 2 KO), currently the unified WBC and WBO World Female Super Welterweight and WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO Middleweight Champion, has been named #1 in both The Ring and ESPN’s inaugural pound-for-pound women’s rankings of the best female fighters in the world.


During an exciting renaissance for the sport, Shields was able to best a strong lineup of female fighters including Irish unified lightweight champion Katie Taylor, seven-division champ Amanda Serrano, Norway’s long-time undisputed queen Cecilia Braekhus and her recent conqueror Jessica McCaskill.


Among her many accomplishments, Shields is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and the first American boxer – female or male – to win consecutive Olympic boxing gold medals. She became Unified Super Middleweight World Champion in her fourth professional fight, Unified Middleweight World Champion in her sixth professional fight and Unified Super Welterweight World Champion in her tenth. She also holds the record for becoming a two and three-weight world champion in the fewest professional fights and is one of only seven boxers in history, female or male, to hold all four major world titles in boxing—WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO—simultaneously.


“Claressa is the driving force for women’s boxing!” said her promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “I am happy to see that ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, and the well-respected “Bible of Boxing” Ring Magazine unanimously and indisputably recognize Claressa’s incredible accomplishments as the best in the world.”


“I’m proud to see two more Herstoric achievements added to the unprecedented resume of Claressa Shields,” said her manager, Mark Taffet, President of Mark Taffet Media. “She continues her march toward equality for female boxers using her broad shoulders from both an athletic and a social perspective. I look forward to the day when she appears on the top pound-for-pound list among the men with no gender labels.”
