“Hi my name is Aniyah Ramos, I am a freshman at Columbine High School. I live in Denver, Colorado.
I started boxing two years ago and have had the pleasure of working with my two coaches Gilbert Archuleta and Justin Vashaw. These two men have become a big part of my life and have never given up on me through the tough times of boxing.
When I started boxing it was really difficult and it didn’t come naturally to me so I had to work 10 times harder to get where I am now. In my two years of experience in boxing I have been to Silver and Golden Gloves.
I had the pleasure of competing in the 2nd Regional Green Belt Challenge on April 30-May 1, 2002, in Longmont, Colorado, where I won my match resulting in me winning a junior WBC Amateur Champion belt and fight of the night. My current record is 4-5-0
It was an honor receiving this belt and I am looking forward to being a world boxing female champion in the future.” – Aniyah Ramos
