Alexandria, VA's Amelia Moore won her first contest at the Strandja Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria on Thursday. Moore won a 5-0 decision over Crisstina Cosma of Romania. Moore returns to action on Friday in a bout against Rebecca Nicole of Italy.
Moore's Alexandria teammates Keyshawn Davis and Troy Isley make their second trip to the Strandja Tournament and will participate for the first time on Friday. Davis, who will compete at 141 pounds and who won a gold medal at this tourney in 2018, will face off with Elvin Isayev of Azerbaijan. Middleweight Isley, who took a silver home from Bulgaria last year, will take on Tarik Allali of Morocco.
The three Alexandria boxers are part of a 25-member United States team, one of the largest delegations the US has sent to an international competition. All of the bouts are being live streamed on usaboxing.org.
