We told you that nine Beltway Boxers won titles at the recent Ringside World Championships in Kansas City, MO. Well, we left one out. And there is a nice story behind this championship.
Tai McBride won a championship in the Masters Division of the Ringside event. McBride is the founder of Diamonds In The Ruff gym in Forestville, MD. Competing in this event was a challenge to the close to 80 kids registered in the program. The challenge was to show the kids that you can chase your dreams at any point in your life -- even at age 46.
McBride gave up his favorite foods and modeled the discipline that he wants to see in all his boxers. That helped him win a championship in Kansas City against a younger, taller and heavier opponent.
Congratulations to Coach McBride for being a shining example for many in the area to follow!
We've also learned that Myke Stewart of Reisterstown, MD won his second straight Masters title at 177+ pounds during the Ringside event. The 44-year-old Stewart defeated 36-year-old Paul Reyes of Dallas, TX.
