Under-19 Championships Begin in Kansas City!

The first day of competition is over at the Under-19 National Championships at the KCI Expo Center in Kansas City, MO.

Only one Beltway Boxer was scheduled to be in action today. However, Joshua Davis of Catonsville, MD lost by walkover to Rockne Harris of Garland, TX. Reports are that Davis had a separated rib and could not participate.

The champions in each division will earn a spot on the US Under-19 team that will travel to the Under-19 World Championships in Guadalajara, Mexico.

According to USAboxing.org, Emmanuel Taylor of Edgewood, MD is one of the boxers to watch in the tournament. Taylor is a favorite in the Light Welterweight division.
