(SEPT 20) TULSA, Okla. – The male and female
PeeWee, Bantam and Intermediate divisions crowned champions Friday inside Arvest
Convention Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the 2025 USA Boxing National Open.
Championship bouts were also set within the Junior, Youth and Elite male and
female divisions during the day’s lone session of Olympic style boxing. Friday’s
recap is presented by Rosetta Stone, USA Boxing’s official partner for language
learning.
There were 47 championship bouts contested throughout the day’s slate and 49
champions given titles, due to walkovers on the penultimate day of competition.
During Friday’s schedule of contested bouts, there were 10 male and three female
PeeWee title winners, 11 male and three female Bantam title winners and 14 male
and eight female title winners.
Closing out the day in ring one was a tight battle in the Intermediate male 95
lbs division, featuring Antonio Singleton (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Santana
Cabrera (Kissimmee, Fla.). Singleton took the first round with a 3-2 split after
landing a flurry of shots on Cabrera. Cabrera responded in the next round with
his size advantage and reach, earning an 8-count in the process before taking
the second round with a 3-2 split of his own. Cabrera turned up the heat and
earned a unanimous decision in the final frame to close out the bout with a 4-1
decision to earn his first championship at a USA Boxing national event.
“It means a lot because this is my first actual nationals winning,” Cabrera
noted after earning the title. “I have let a lot of nationals slip, but this
time I buckled down and I did what I had to do. I came all the way from Florida,
and I didn’t want to waste my coaches and my dad’s time. I had to make a
statement.”
The 2025 USA Boxing National Open will continue on Saturday with one final
session inside the Arvest Convention Center, beginning at noon CT.
