Crown
Boxers Win Title Tournament Lansing’s Crown Boxing returned home with two new national champs from a Title amateur tournament that took place in early June, which Sportssummary just became aware of. The tournament, believed to be in its first or second year of existence, was sponsored by Title, makers of boxing equipment on a somewhat lesser scale than Ringside or Everlast, and held June 5-7 in Memphis, Tennessee at the home of the Midsouth Fairgrounds. Title failed to respond to repeated requests for information on the tournament but Sportssummary was able to obtain the results from another source. Two Crown fighters won gold while five more came up short. Novice boxers Shaquille Clark (11-12 years, 112-lbs) and Aarkeyse Higdon (13-14 years, 80-lbs) brought home the gold. Clark won a UD over Trey Murry of Georgia and Higdon won a 2-1 decision over Louisiana’s Johnny West. Crown
open class fighters Angelo Flores, Jaquil Short and Brandon Larvadain
and novice fighters Devin Young and James Mitchell competed and
lost. Dynamic’s Kevin Moore and Gallo’s Joe Bermudez
also came up short in the novice and open classes, respectively.
