The DMV’s (DC/Maryland/Virginia area, for those outside the area) own Kevin Rivers, who trains out of the Headbangers gym in Southeast DC, is featured today in the third installment of One To Watch. Kevin may have just started to come into his own on the national and international scene, but in the DC area we’ve known about him for years. He has won the Ringside World Championship, National PAL Tournament and Jr. Golden Gloves—being named Outstanding Boxer of the tournament.
Kevin has competed and won in virtually every major amateur boxing tournament there is: National Silver Gloves, National Golden Gloves, US Future Stars, Under 19 National Championships, AIBA Youth World Championship, World Championships, US Nationals and even most recently competing in Italy against the Italian National Team, where he boxed to a draw.
Currently, Kevin is the #1 125lbs boxer in the United States after winning the US National Championships in Denver, Colorado this past June. With his hopes set on the 2012 Olympics, you will hear this name a lot of the next few years on the amateur boxing scene. Enjoy these 15 bouts going back to 2001 when Kevin was 11 years old.
