COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (October 31, 2024) -– Team USA sends five boxers on to the finals and a chance to win gold at the 2024 World Boxing U19 Championships. USA hopes to bring back five gold medals in the inaugural World Boxing U19 Championships.

Team USA, Lorenzo Patricio (Waianae, Hawaii), was the first bout against Rishi Singh out of India and dominated from start to finish. Patricio went on to win on a unanimous decision and advanced to the finals where he will face Mohamed Al Manouchi out of Germany. These two 50 kg boxers will box tomorrow, November 1, in bout two.

Emmanuel Chance (East Orange, N.J.) followed Patricio as he boxed Pal Krrish out of India and is moving on to the finals after a unanimous decision victory. Chance will have a two-day rest and will be back at it for gold November 2, against Fuma Kumamoto out of Japan.

Team USA power hitters, Joseph Awinongya (Joliet, Ill.) and Elijah Lugo (Marietta, Ga.) continue to demonstrate their strength and power as both boxers gave their opponent another 8-count in their semifinal bouts.

Awinongya went up against Mustapha Abdou out of Algeria and dominated and gave the Algerian boxer an 8-count in the final round and moved on to the gold round. Awinongya will be the fourth bout on November 1 and will go head-to-head for the gold medal against Rahul Kundu out of India.

Lugo was the final bout of the day yesterday and drew the whole venue’s attention over to Ring B to watch Elijah Lugo vs Sofian Bizzit out of Germany. With crowds flooding over to see these two light heavyweights go punch for punch for three rounds, the American would give the German an 8-count in the first round and then came out on top with a 3-2 split decision victory and will move on for a chance at gold. Lugo will now box Nikita Prohovskis out of Latvia, November 1 and will be the sixth bout of the day.

Heavyweight Rishon Sims (Harrisburg, Pa.) earned his first unanimous decision victory yesterday over Noveki Tomokino out of New Zealand. Sims will get his chance at gold against Hemant Sangwan out of India on November 2 and will be the tenth bout of the day.

Laila Zakirova (Staten Island, N.Y.) and Nevaeh Williams (Cleveland, Ohio) fell short yesterday in their medal round, but both go home with hardware and earned a bronze medal.
