<\/p>\nMEDFORD, Ore. \u2013 A local boy and girl are gearing up for a big boxing match down in Redding, California. It\u2019s a unique fight night event that will benefit youth programs.<\/p>\n
The two boxers train at Superior Boxing in Medford. 14-year-old Victor Vargas said,<\/p>\n
\u201cCome every day, and like try your best every day. Push yourself. Every day I want to be better.\u201d Boxing is unlike any other sport, where two people go head-to-head in a ring and is a true test of technique, skill and heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I wasn\u2019t going to get very far but now I am, yeah. It\u2019s a really fun sport,\u201d said 10-year-old boxer Delaney Womack.<\/p>\n
The two youth athletes looking to put that all on display in Redding next month. Vargas said,<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love the discipline and I just love fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vargas is entering his 11th amateur fight. He has ambitious goals of becoming a professional one day. He\u2019s put in four years of training, and he said he has no plans of stopping, \u201cIn every single fight I try to push myself more and more.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Womack, she\u2019s entering into her first fight, and she said people tend to be surprised to hear she boxes, but to her, it\u2019s a sport anyone can try, \u201cSometimes people are like, \u2018you box?\u2019 and stuff. None of my friends box, no. Just try a new sport, try new things.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While boxing is a full contact sport, the coaches said it\u2019s not all about the fighting, it\u2019s about what they learn outside of the ring. Superior Boxing Coach Jose Luis Montufar said,<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s more respect, respect and discipline. And respect everyone. That\u2019s the more important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Montufar said boxing offers a great path of enrichment for kids, \u201cI like for the kids to just stay away from the trouble, stay away from playing on the internet.\u201d His two students will be competing on the Raising Shasta\u2019s Roaring Rumble card on April 4th. In addition to youth fights, it\u2019s a local celebrity boxing event too, featuring folks like their local fire department, law enforcement, business owners and more to face off to raise money for their youth programs.<\/p>\n
Montufar said it\u2019ll be a great show and he\u2019s proud of the work his students have put in, \u201cI feel really good. We try to just prepare, condition. I know we feel like we\u2019re going to be the winners. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n
