World medalist and Olympic Hopefuls to step into the ring on American soil

COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (September 17, 2018) — Two of the world’s top amateur boxing powerhouses will meet in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for two separate duels taking place Saturday, Oktober 6 and Friday, Oktober. 12, at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

The two events will take place alongside this year’s Eastern Elite Qualifier & Regionale Open Championships, which is expected to have more than 650 boksers, oud 8-40, compete from Oct. 8-13.

 

 

 

“We are excited to host the German Federation, as they have hosted us numerous times for training camps over the past two years,” said USA Boxing High Performance Director Matt Johnson. “This will be a great competition and a great opportunity for USA Boxing to showcase our next generation of Olympic hopefuls on home soil.”

 

 

 

Team USA is expected to bring a talented team that will include multiple World Championship medalists, inclusief 2017 Elite World Championship medalists Troy Isley (Alexandrië, Va.), Duke Ragan (Cincinnati, Ohio) en Freudis Rojas Jr. (Las Vegas, Nev.), as well as two-time World Championship medalist Christina Cruz (New York, N.Y.), 2016 Jeugd Wereldkampioen delante Johnson (Cleveland, Ohio) en 2016 Jeugd WK bronzen medaillewinnaar Richard Torrez Jr. (Tulare, Calif.)
