Anna Crutchfield, 15, of Travelers Rest,
South Carolina started her boxing career in January 2012 when she defeated her
Washington DC opponent to win the Region III Silver Gloves championship. Anna
went on to finish second in the 2012 National Silver Gloves Tournament in
Independence, MO. Anna continued to compete on a national level at the 2012
Junior Olympics in Mobile, AL, where she won the bronze medal. Anna would also
compete in the Ringside World Tournament, Georgia Games, and most recently, Paul
Murphy National Tournament where she won her second belt, and first national
championship. Photo credits: Anna Crutchfield Team
Anna, no longer in the "Novice" division, is continuing to add to her impressive
fight resume as she's already fought in seven states, with international fights
in Canada and Germany still in the planning phase. When asked the key to her
rapid rise, Anna responded, "Lamar KidFire Parks is the best boxing coach in the
world. I also draw strength from my family and my faith". Anna's dream is to do
what Claressa Shields did, and bring home another gold medal for the United
States in 2016. All of Region III is invited to come see Anna compete as her
home town will feature her and the Greenville Boxing Club right in here in
Greenville, SC on Saturday, October 13, 2012.
