It was a huge welcome back and congratulations to Liverpool native Bryce Mills at the Syracuse Hancock Airport. He made Syracuse history in becoming the first junior fighter to get titles in both kickboxing and boxing at the age of 15.
“It was one of the hardest training camps of my life. I prepared all day and all night,” says Mills.
Mills claimed gold in the National Silver Gloves tournament in Kansas–the largest junior tourney in the nation. His coach and trainer say he is boxing against the best and he prides himself in being the underdog–a title that fuels his fire.
“The very first fight that Bryce had we knew that there was something special in this kid so we matched him tough. He excelled in every single fight moving forward,” says Amer Abdallah, Bryce’s manager.
“I’d like to say thank you for everybody here coming out. It means the world to me. Thank you to the community of Syracuse for making this belt happen,” says Mills.
His team says they’re hoping Mills will be making his professional debut in a couple of years.
