Team USA’s Youth High Performance Team Made a major statement in Germany

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Lúnasa 4, 2025) - Dé Sathairn seo caite, the United States closed out the 2025 Brandenburg Cup in Frankfurt (Oder), An Ghearmáin, in dominant fashion. After qualifying seven athletes for gold medal rounds, all seven Team USA boxers finished the day with their hands raised after the final bell. All told, the USA secured 11 medals for the week, including seven gold and four bronze.

Joscelyn Olayo-Munoz (women’s 48 cileagram | Las Cruces, N.M.) and Alexis Tangaro (women’s 54 cileagram | Waianae, Hawaii) were the two Team USA women’s gold medalists on Saturday. Lorenzo Patricio (men’s 50 kg | Waianae, Hawaii), Salim Ellis-Bey (men’s 60 cileagram | Philadelphia, Pa.), Lavant Brownlee (men’s 65 cileagram | Louisville, Ky.), Joseph Awinongya (men’s 80 cileagram | Joliet, Ill.) and Nnajai Wright (men’s 90+ cileagram | Richmond, Va.) found their way atop the podium on the USA men’s side.

Olayo-Munoz opened the day with a flawless performance in the opening bout. She stayed on the attack against her Italian opponent, Amelia Sula, and showed her ability to be the aggressor and deal out punishment throughout the bout. Olayo-Munoz blanked Sula and ultimately earned the unanimous decision victory to earn her first international medal and set the tone for the day for Team USA.

Tangaro checked into the ring two bouts later and followed suit with a 5-0 victory of her own over Lithuania’s Jelizaveta Jakimova. The Waianae, Hawaii, product was poised in the pocket and landed her shots with precision to score the unanimous decision and earn her second win of the tournament. The medal marks the first international honor of her amateur career.

Patricio stepped back into the ring with an extra day of rest behind him and put that additional recovery to good use in his 50-kg title bout. He flustered Australia’s Taj Harrington with his movement and danced around the ring, picking his shots as he circled his foe. As he typically does, Patricio turned up the volume of his attacks throughout the bout and ultimately closed it out with a 5-0 bua. After receiving his gold medal, Patricio was also named the Best Technician of the tournament after racking up three wins over the final three days.

Ellis-Bey bullied his Azerbaijan opponent, Babayev Subhan, for three rounds before ultimately scoring the 5-0 bua, marking his fourth victory of the week. The Philadelphia, Pa., native applied heavy pressure throughout the bout and damaged his opponent with several heavy-handed shots. Ellis-Bey closed out his first international tournament and claimed the medal that he focused on throughout his 2025 preparations.

Brownlee closed out the week with two 5-0 decisions, one in the opening round and another in the semifinals, one RSC in the quarterfinals, and a walkover decision in Saturday’s championship bout. The 65-kg title also marks the first international medal for the Louisville, Ky., dhúchais.

Awinongya impressed the masses once again and earned his second win by abandonment of the week, this time against Australia’s Khaled Bassal. After cooking Bassal for the opening two rounds, Awinongya turned up the heat in the final round and forced another eight count with his powerful right hand, which convinced the Australian team to throw in the towel. Awinongya is no stranger to international success and claims his latest medal after earning three wins throughout the week.

Wright closed the show with an outstanding performance for the United States in the 90+ kg showdown against Germany’s Ahmed Abdulgamidov. While Abdulgamidov held an incredible reach advantage over Wright, the Richmond, Va., native had a strategic game plan in place to pick his German foe apart. Wright once again utilized his agility to find his way inside his opponent’s defense and subsequently landed a flurry of damaging uppercuts. While Abdulgamidov looked strong in the first round, Wright was able to wear him down and drag him into deep waters throughout the second and third rounds. I ndeireadh na dála, Wright closed the bout with a 3-0 cinneadh, regaining favor from the judges after falling behind early in the bout.

The USA Boxing Youth High Performance team has successfully concluded its international schedule for 2025. Of the 13 athletes in competition at the Brandenburg Cup, 11 left with medals. Gach 14 athletes on the Youth High Performance roster have shown tremendous potential throughout the year and are sure to leave a lasting legacy within the USA Boxing High Performance department throughout the current Olympic cycle.

The four-fight televised portion of the card will air live on DAZN in the territories beginning at 3 p.m. ET/Noon PT.

The main event pitsSalita Promotion’s top world title contender, Shishkin, against Scull, the undefeated Cuban-born boxer now living and training in Germany. The stakes are high as both men look to claim the IBF title belt recently vacated by Unified Super Middleweight World ChampionCanelo Alvarez.

“I am very happy that U.S. lucht leanúna troid, and boxing fans around the world will have a chance to witness Saturday’s important world title fight,” said Dmitriy Salita, Uachtarán na Céime Salita. “The implications for the future of the division and that of each fighter are significant. Vladimir Shishkin has dreamt of this moment his entire career and he has prepared accordingly. I believe he is more than ready to step into the lion’s den in Berlin and win his first world title.”

The 33-year-old Shishkin is a SHOBOX alum with an impressive pro career that began in 2016. A bona fide knockout artist, Shishkin (16-0, 10 Kos) has defeated Sena Agbeko, DeAndre Ware, Jose Uzcategui and carries momentum into Saturday’s bout from back-to-back knockout wins over Raymon Ayala and Mike Guy. Shishkin is entering his first world title bout and faces the added pressure of winning on Scull’s home turf. The Russian born Shishkin trains in Florida with world-class trainer SugarHill Steward.

Scull (22-0, 9 Kos) has proven to be one of the more dangerous super middleweights in the world. Starting his professional career in 2016 chomh maith, Scull most recently defeated New Orleans’ Sean Hemphill via unanimous decision in dominant fashion this past May. Mar thoradh air sin, Scull was listed as the mandatory challenger for the then-reigning IBF Super Middleweight Champion, Canelo. Now facing his toughest test to date in Shishkin, Scull plans to make a statement to boxing fans around the world that he is the next generation’s 168-pound champion to beat.

Salita stated earlier, “Having worked with Shishkin for over six years, I have seen the undeniable progress he has made throughout his career as he continues to fight the biggest names in the sport. Ar an Satharn, Deireadh Fómhair 19, both Shishkin and Scull have the chance to make their case to fight Canelo Alvarez and to begin to reshape a marquee division with a wealth of big-name talent.”

Russia’s Umar Salamov to Face Germany’s Denis Liebau in Explosive Light Heavyweight Clash on September 5 in Grozny

On Wednesday, Meán Fómhair 5, fearless Russian light heavyweight contender Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 Kos) will risk his IBF #11 and WBO #15 rankings when he takes on treacherous KO puncher Denis Liebau (23-2, 21 Kos) of Frankfurt Germany, for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship.

 

 

 

The explosive 10-round showdown will be held in the Amphitheater at the five-star Grozny City Hotel in Salamov’s hometown of Grozny, Rúis, and televised live in Russia on Match TV.

 

 

 

Eager for a shot at the world championship, Salamov has lately been honing his craft at the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit, while issuing public challenges to dangerous world champions Eleider Alvarez (WBO) and Dmitry Bivol (WBA). He was last seen in the ring in June, winning the IBF North American Championship by scoring an impressive ninth-round knockout over Brian Howard, live on Showtime.

 

 

 

“I love training in Detroit,” said Salamov. “I am excited to be back in the ring fighting for the prestigious WBO International belt. I’ve already held this title and I feel it belongs to me. I am the best light heavyweight in the world and look forward to proving that point in an impressive way on September 5, in front of my hometown fans.

 

 

 

Already known for going right at every hard-punching opponent he faces, Salamov says he’s going to be even more relentless against Liebau.

 

 

 

“I will be looking for another knockout,"A dúirt sé. “Working with Head Trainer Javan “Sugar” Hill Stewart and my co-trainer Rick Philips has taught me so many new things. I am in incredible shape and I feel like it is impossible to beat me right now.”

 

 

 

“Umar’s world-class experience, skills and now a world class training regimen make him one of the best light heavyweights in the world,” said Salamov’s co-promoter, Dmitry Salita (along with Kazbek Aslambekov of KA-Promotions). “Umar is facing a real experienced challenger in Denis Liebau, but I know he is poised for an impressive victory. He wants to make a statement and put the names in the division on notice. I know that he will put his skill set on display and will be impressive September 5.”

Team USA’s newest boxing star Light heavyweight Khalil Coe

(L-R) – USA head coach Billy Walsh, USA National assistant coach Kay Koroma, Khalil Coe and coach Jeff Mays

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Iúil 9, 2018) – A star was born last month at the 45ú Chemistry Cup in Halle, An Ghearmáin, when American light heavyweight Khalil Coe shocked the amateur boxing world, stopping Cuban’s multiple world champion Julio Cesar La Cruz in the opening round of the championship final match.

 

 

 

Beagnach 100 boxers represented 16 different countries at the Chemistry Cup, Lena n-áirítear, Rúis, An Úcráin, Éire, India and host Germany, in addition to the United States and Cuba.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Coe, who was boxing in only his 25ú mheaitseáil, his first on the International scene, stole the show and he was named Most Outstanding Boxer of the tournament. In the semifinals, Coe knocked out Matus Strnisko, of Slovakia, sa chéad bhabhta.

 

VOTE FOR KHALIL COE

 

Khalil Coe is a candidate for the USOC Best Male Athlete of the Month for June. Voting ends this evening at https://awards.teamusa.org/

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coe respected but he wasn’t intimidated by his much more experienced opponent, 2016 Olympic gold medalist and four-time world champion La Cruz, who had one less fight in the World Boxing Series than Cue did during his entire amateur career.

 

 

 

My first fight in the tournament was the hardest I’d had,” Coe explained. “I studied him (La Cruz) a lot and watched him fight in the semifinals (defeating three-time European champion Joseph Ward (Éire), which was right after my semifinals fight. Sé (La Cruz) is very elusive and flashy, but he doesn’t like to get hit in the body. He moves his body, but he forgets about his head. I pulled him, on him, moving around with my footwork and shuffling. He threw a lazy jab and I hit him right on the chin with a right.

 

 

 

Coe’s short, compact right-hand punch landed right on the button, dropping La Cruz a little less than two-minutes into round one. The Cuban beat the count, but the referee ruled that he was unable to continue. La Cruz was still “An Fear” in the light heavyweight division and by knocking him out, Coe proved that he truly belongs with the elite, and that the No. 1-rated American is the fighter to beat in terms of qualifying for the 2020 U.S. Foireann Oilimpeach.

 

 

 

I let everybody know that I’m here,” Coe added. “I still need to work on a lot of different things. I need to throw more combinations, keep by stamina up, and improve everything to be better. I’m more of a pure boxer, but I have strength and punching power. Coach (Billy)Walsh doesn’t change his fighters, he adds to what they have. The coaches put together a fight plan and I executed it.

 

 

 

Khalil’s performances in Germany were world class,” Team USA head coach Walsh said, “To be truly world class, we now have to repeat those performances regularly, and that’s where the challenge lies.

 

 

 

On this year’s USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour, Coe was 2-0 against his Irish counterparts in Boston and Springfield

 

 

 

Coe often got into fights in school, until his mother sent him to a local gym, and his first amateur bout was when he was 12. If he wasn’t boxing right now, an 6′ 1″ Coe believes he would probably be playing college football, as a fullback or defensive end.

 

 

 

Close with his USA teammates, particularly Keyshawn Davis, Coe lives and trains with them in Colorado Springs. “We’re more than a team,” the Jersey City, New Jersey boxer concluded, “we’re like a family – guys, gals and coachesin Colorado Springs.

 

 

 

I’m going to turn pro after the Olympics, one way or the other, God-willing, after I win a gold medal.

 

 

 

Tokyo is legitimately in Khalil Coe’s sights!

An Ghearmáin, United States and Latvia Play Host to WBO Bouts

 

 

 

The World Boxing Organization (WBO), chaired by Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel, will celebrate five interesting title fights; two of which are for world championships. The bouts will take place this Saturday, Bealtaine 12.

 

 

 

Brooklyn native Saddam “World Kid” Ali (26-1, 14 KO s), coming off the most important victory of his career against legendary Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto, makes the first defense of his WBO junior middleweight world title, when he faces the dangerous Mexican Jaime Munguía (28-0, 24 KO s). The fight will take place at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, Nua-Eabhrac. The fight will be televised live on HBO at 10:00 p.m. AGUS.

 

 

 

We will have a lot of activity this Saturday from the WBO. You have to pay close attention to the performance of the huge puncher Jaime Munguía, who will face a good attacker like Ali. It’s going to be a classic fight of puncher against a boxer. If Munguía wins, he would be placed on a select list of great Mexican boxers who have been world champions at or before 21 years of age”, said Valcárcel.

 

 

 

In Augsburg, An Ghearmáin, women’s boxing takes the stage when the popular former world champion Nikki Adler (16-1, 9 KO s) of Germany and the world contender Femke Hermans (6-1, 3 KO s) of Belgium, face each other for the vacant WBO world belt of the super middleweight division. The fight will be in the Eisstadion in Augsburg.

 

 

 

We remain committed and supportive of women’s boxing. Germany is no exception. This great fight has the community looking on because there is a world title at stake and the fight will be liked by the public”, said Valcárcel.

 

In Latvia, three WBO International titles will be in play in 12-round duels in an evening at the Riga Arena. For the vacant International junior middleweight belt, the 13th ranked Ismail Iliev (10-0-1, 3 KO s) of Nazran, Russia will face Konstantin Ponomarev (33-0, 13 KO s) of Miass, Rúis.

 

 

 

Chomh maith leis sin, the WBO International Lightweight Champion and 5th ranked Isa Chaniev (12-1, 6 KO s) of Nazran, Rúis, will defend his title against the strong Venezuelan puncher, Ismael Barroso (20-1-2, 19 KO s).

 

 

 

For the vacant middleweight WBO International belt, Artur Akavov (18-2, 12 KO s) from Russia, will face against Argentina’s Gonzalo Coria (12-1, 5 KO s).

 

 

 

We are making a presence in eastern Europe. An uair seo, it was Latvia’s turn to have boxers who are already ranked in the top positions of the WBO and for the rest of the year, could be fighting for world titles”, expressed Varcárcel.

WBSSis a revolutionary bracket-style elimination tournament featuring the world’s best boxers and a total of $50 million in prize money.

Comosa AG is working in partnership with boxers, promoters and managers around the world, and in alignment with the four major world boxing federations, to create a new global platform for the sport.
The first of its kind tournament, which is planned to take place on an annual basis, kicked off this past September with quarterfinals competition in two divisions, cruiserweight and super middleweight. An expert panel invited the world’s best boxers to compete, namely the top 15-ranked fighters of the four major federations: WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO. The winners of the two semifinals will advance to the championship round in both divisions this May.
