Camacho, Gonzalez each earn 3-2 victories on tournament’s opening day

USTI NAD LABEM, Czech Republic (June 11, 2025) – Jajaira Gonzalez (Women’s 60 kg) and Rene Camacho (Men’s 65 kg) each captured 3-2 wins in their tournament debuts Wednesday at the World Boxing Challenge Grand Prix Usti Nad Labem 2025. The pair were the lone Team USA athletes in competition on day one of the tournament, and following their victories, they now advance to the quarterfinal rounds of their respective brackets.

Gonzalez (Glendora, Calif.) closed out her 2025 international debut in style with a 3-2 victory over Croatia’s Sara Beram. Following the victory, Gonzalez will take on Italy’s Rebecca Nicoli in the quarterfinals of the women’s 60kg division. A second win at the tournament for the Glendora, Calif., native will guarantee her a medal at the event; however, she remains persistent in capturing the gold medal in her 2025 international debut tournament.

“First time fighting international since the Games,” said Gonzalez after her victory. “I felt a little rusty, but of course, it’s the first day. Back at it again tomorrow, and it’s going to be better tomorrow.”

Camacho (Houston, Texas) entered the ring with confidence for his Team USA international debut. After listening to the opening bell and stepping out to throw the first punch of the bout, Camacho closed the door on any questions about whether or not he was ready for the international stage. Camacho shined under the lights and ultimately secured a 3-2 win over Hungary’s Milan Petriman.

“Feeling good, feeling good. I got the dub,” said Camacho of his win over Hungary on the opening day of the tournament. “We’re taking it all the way to the gold. We’re not going for anything less. Win, win, win and win again!”

Thursday’s competition will feature nine boxers from the United States, beginning with Orlando Zamora (Turlock, Calif. | 55kg) in Ring B, bout five, against Brazil’s Michael Douglas Trindade, a Paris 2024 Olympian. Thomas Covington (Detroit, Mich. | 60kg) will make his international debut in Ring B, bout eight, against Brazil’s Luiz Gabriel Oliveira, another Paris 2024 Olympian, who fell to the USA’s Jahmal Harvey last summer in Paris.

Camacho will return to action for his quarterfinal appearance in the 65kg division against Brazil’s Carlos Patrique Souza in Ring B, bout 13. Malachi Georges (Teaneck, N.J. | 90kg) will close out Ring B for the USA in bout 27 against Hungary’s Levente Kiss.

Yoseline Perez (Houston, Texas | 54 kg) will kick off Thursday’s USA women’s competition in Ring A bout 10 against Mexico’s Ariadna Jeanette Gil. Alyssa Mendoza will then step between the ropes in Ring A, bout 16, against Hungary’s Vladislava Kukhta in the women’s 57kg division.

Gonzalez will return to action for her quarterfinal bout in Ring A, bout 20, against her Italian foe. Morelle McCane will then make her tournament debut and close out the action for the USA women in Ring A, bout 23, against Switzerland’s Anna Julia Jenni.

In the final bout of the day for Team USA is Robby “Rahim” Gonzales, who will square off against Austria’s Lucky Aimufua in Ring A, bout 28. Gonzales will aim to open his tournament contention with a bang in the 80kg division and will need three wins to earn a gold medal.

Thursday’s sessions at the World Boxing Challenge Grand Prix Usti Nad Labem 2025 will get underway at approximately 7 a.m. ET. Each round of the World Boxing Challenge Grand Prix Usti Nad Labem 2025 will be broadcast live on the Czech Boxing Association’s YouTube channel.
