Fay is a Springfield police officer who started his program 10 ປີກ່ອນຫນ້ານີ້, last year moving into Central City Boxing and Barbell Gym, primarily to keep kids off the street, teaching them values to become productive citizens.

Springfield has had a long history in boxing. The Golden Gloves were held in Holyoke, one city over from Springfield, ສໍາລັບການ 50 years before coming here. Golden Gloves has funded a lot of small gyms because many of these kids can’t afford fees. We’ve bridged the gap by hosting shows that raises money and creates fanbases.

“ຜ່ານການປີ, Marvin Hagler, Marlon Starling, Micky ອຸປະຖໍາ, John Scully and so many others have come through USA Boxing programs in New England. Boxing represents life; how to conduct themselves in and out of the ring. Boxing is a small fraternity and boxers walk up those steps and through the ropes, in front of everybody, and confront their fears. Boxing is determined by judges and, in life, you are judged by how you live by laws. Life values are taught through boxing.

“Hosting the USA-Boxing Northeast Boxing Tour gives kids in our program an opportunity to watch up close the top boxers who are representing their country. My kids realize that they could do that someday. They see the best boxers in the country and that’s where they want to be.”

Anticipated Team USA boxers competing in Springfield include 2017 Elite World Championship bronze medalist Troy Isley (Alexandria, VA.), ຄຽງຄູ່ກັບການ 2017 Elite World Championship team members delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, TX), who won four international gold medals last year, ແລະ 2016 ເຍົາແຊມປຽນຊິບໂລກ bronze medalist ແລະ 2017 USA ມວຍ Super ແຊ້ມເຮຟວີ່ເວດ, Richard Torrez (Tulare, ເຊັ່ນ).

Now promoting professional shows, Rivera excelled as an amateur, winning top honors at the New England Golden Gloves and twice in the Western N.E. Championships, highlighted by a bronze-medal performance at the PAL Championships.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (ກຸມພາ 26, 2018) – One of boxing’s most beloved boxer of all-time, “ໄອແລນ” Micky ອຸປະຖໍາ, and the Irishman best known for knocking out legendary Mike Tyson into retirement, Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride, have been selected as honorary team captains, ຕາມລໍາດັບ, of Team USA and Team Ireland for the first leg of the three-city 2018 ອາເມລິກາ vs. ໄອແລນ Northeast ມວຍ Tour.

Ward, 52, is the pride of Lowell, Massachusetts, where he is a living legend. A three-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur boxer, Ward fought professionally between 1985-2003, registering a 38-13 (27 KOs) record as a junior welterweight throughout his pro career. He is best known for his epic trilogy with the late Arturo Gatti, in which he became the first fighter with double-digit losses to earn a $1-million purse (ສອງຄັ້ງ).

An all-action, crowed-pleasing fighter, Ward was involved in three Fight of the Year honors, the first and third of the Gatti trilogy, along with a memorable match with Emanuel Augustus. Ward was the winner in two (first Gatti and Augustus) of those classic fights.

Boston-native Mark Wahlberg portrayed Ward in, The Fighter, a movie about Micky’s life that won two Academy Awards.

“To be honorary captain of Team USA means a lot to me,” Ward said. “It’s great having elite amateur boxing back in Boston with the national teams from the United States and Ireland. It’s especially exciting for me as an Irish-American.”

The 44-year-old McBride was born in Clones, ໄອແລນ. ພຣະອົງໄດ້ເປັນສະມາຊິກຂອງໄດ້ 1992 Ireland Olympic Boxing Team at the age of 19, competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, ສະເປນ.

Like other Irish boxers, McBride came to the United States to enhance his professional career, landing in the predominately Irish neighborhood of Dorchester, a working-class section Boston, ກັບຄືນໄປບ່ອນ 1999. 6′ 6″, 285-pound McBride started training in Brockton, MA with Goody Petronelli, who had trained Marvelous Marvin Hagler, ແລະຕໍ່ມາ Packy Collins, the brother of another Petronelli-trained fighter, ແຊ້ມໂລກ Stevie Collins.

McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, retiring with a 35-10-1 (29 KOs), highlighted by his shocking sixth-round knockout of Tyson in 2005, driving the “Baddest Man on the Planet” into ring retirement.

“I feel good about being honorary captain of Team Ireland,” remarked the still thickly Irish-brogue McBride, who still lives with his family in Dorchester. “I’m honored to be carrying the Irish flag for these fighters. I’m not sure how many of them remember me as the man who beat Tyson. I know some of the Irish coaches and I still support boxing in Ireland as well as America. I just love boxing. And it’s always a pleasure to be with my friend, Micky ອຸປະຖໍາ. He’s a good lad.”
