Camacho finished his impressive week with his first Elite international medal after two wins in three appearances. Gonzalez secured her medal in her first international competition of 2025, while Gonzales finished the week with a 1-1 record for his first podium placement of the year.
Mendoza nabbed a 4-1 statement victory over Brazil’s Jucielen Romeo, avenging her loss to the Brazilian at the Paris 2024 משחקים אולימפיים. In addition to her latest victory, the Caldwell, איידהו, native also defeated Hungary’s Vladislava Kukhta on Thursday. Following Saturday’s performance, Mendoza has guaranteed herself at least a silver medal. She will now take on Mongolia’s Michidmaa Erdenedalai on Saturday in bout four.
"אני מרגיש מצוין,” Mendoza stated. “It was definitely a really tough bout, someone that I’ve shared the ring with before [מי הוא] always a tough competitor but we were able to pull off the victory today. I’m feeling good and we’re going into the silver and gold match tomorrow.”
Perez advances to the gold medal match in the women’s 54-kg division after garnering her second 5-0 decision of the week, this time against Hungary’s Hanna Lakotar. She will now compete in her second gold medal bout of the year and is riding a wave of confidence heading into her final matchup of the week. She will square off against England’s Charley Davidson in bout three.
Among the Team USA men’s contenders, Georges continued his remarkable week with a 4 1 win over Moldova’s Andrei Zaplitnii on Friday. In his two bouts, Georges has consistently dominated from the opening bell and enforced his powerful game on his foes. He will take on Brazil’s Isaias Filho in bout 18.
"אני מרגיש טוב,” said Georges. “I’m making it deep in this tournament. I’m here for the gold. מחר, I’ve got a guy, משחק גומלין, he thinks he’s better than me, but he just caught me at a time when I wasn’t where I need to be mentally. But I’m going to show him tomorrow. We’re on to the next one, getting that gold.”
Watts opened his tournament on Friday against Mexico’s Alejandro Cruz and imposed his size and power from the beginning of the bout. The super heavyweight has been hard at work this year and is guaranteed at least a silver medal at the World Boxing Challenge. Watts is focused on closing his week strong against Italy’s Diego Lenzi, a Paris 2024 אולימפי, in bout 19.
In addition to the four Team USA winners from Friday, Marie-Angelis Rosendo will make her tournament debut on Saturday in the women’s 70-kg weight class against Brazil’s Barbara dos Santos in bout seven.
