From a sad student bullied by classmates at school to a future representative of the U.S. national boxing team, 18-year-old Amir Anderson's transformation is astonishing.
Before 2012, Amir Anderson was bullied at school, and the inaction of school teachers exacerbated school violence. Faced with this reality, Amir Anderson's mother suggested to Amir Anderson to go to a boxing gym to learn boxing in order to protect himself, which opened the door to a new world for Aamir Anderson. He has participated in the 2019 U.S. Boxing Junior National Championships, the 2019 Eastern Region Boxing Open, the 2022 U.S. Boxing National Qualifiers, and the 2021 U.S. Boxing Junior National Championships, all of which have achieved good rankings.
Now, Amir Anderson is preparing for his first international competition. From November 14 to 26, Amir Anderson will travel to Europe to compete in the World Youth Boxing Championships in Lanusia, Spain.
In an interview with reporters, Amir Anderson said: "When I was young, I was always bullied at school, and at that time I would only cry instead of resisting. My mom wanted me to be stronger, so she suggested I go to the gym, and boxing changed my mindset about life. I learned a lot, no matter what, even if I lose, keep going to the next game and keep trying to do my best. I've been selected for the U.S. national team twice. Few people can do it once, let alone twice. In 30 tournaments, I only lost 3 times. ”
Now Amir Anderson is excited to prove his level in his first international competition. For the World Youth Boxing Championships, which start in Spain later this month, Amir Anderson has set a high bar for himself.
"It's an opportunity and I can't wait to compete with the best players in the world. Before, I've proven myself to be the best fighter in America. I won gold at domestic championships and a gold belt at national 2022. I want to represent the United States at the Paris 2024 Olympics and win gold for the United States at the Olympics. ”
As a well-rounded fighter, in the eyes of the coaches of the American boxing national team, Amir Anderson still has a lot of room for improvement. In the competition, Amir Anderson can not only move constantly in the boxing ring, but also fight positional combat power with fighters of the same level, and freely switch between the front and back frames, it can be said that his strike range covers near, medium and far.
For the coach's affirmation, Amir Anderson is also very happy. He said: "I am very happy to represent my country in international competitions, I am honoured and proud. On behalf of the United States, I would like to go around the world to show how great a country we live in and how popular the sport of boxing is. ”
