Anthony Young Embraces Defeat as Fuel for Transformation, Channeling Inner Super Saiyan Strength
Welterweight warrior Anthony “Juice” Young isn't letting a single defeat define his story. After bouncing back from a knockout loss to Alexis Rocha, Young is ready to prove he's still a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division.
Stepping into the ring at ACX1 Studios in Atlantic City this Saturday, Young is gearing up for a fight that he hopes will mark the beginning of his comeback. With a record of 23-3 (8 KOs), the 36-year-old fighter is set to face off against Windry Amadis Martinez, a 31-year-old boxer from the Dominican Republic with a record of 10-2 (5 KOs). This event, promoted by Danny “Swift” Garcia’s Swift Promotions, serves as Young’s chance to shine once more and pave his way back to the top.
Reflecting on his journey, Young shared, “Losing to Rocha was tough, but it didn’t crush me. If anything, it made me stronger—like a Super Saiyan.” Drawing inspiration from the resilience of characters in Dragon Ball Z, Young is determined to rise above his past setbacks and make a triumphant return to the ring.
With his eyes set on future challenges, Young is aiming high. He's eager to face off against champions like WBC titleholder Mario Barrios and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis, fully believing that his prime is yet to come. Despite turning down certain fights due to financial reasons, Young remains steadfast in his pursuit of greatness.
Under the guidance of head coach Julio Sanchez, who stood by his side during the Rocha fight, Young feels ready to deliver a stellar performance come Saturday. “I want to showcase clean boxing and strategic prowess against an opponent who doesn't belong in the same ring as me,” Young expressed with determination.
As he envisions his path forward, Young is unwavering in his focus. “Barrios, Stanionis—remember those names,” he asserted confidently. “When my moment comes, I’ll seize it with everything I've got.”
