Sebastian Mazeneth, a 22-year-old boxer from Bay Ridge, won the 143-pound title at the New York Ring Masters Championships after an impressive seven-fight winning streak. His victories, particularly over Angel Perez from Mendez Boxing Gym, secured him a place in the National Golden Gloves tournament set for May. Despite facing skepticism early in his career, Mazeneth remained determined, having started boxing only two years ago. He balances his athletic aspirations with academic pursuits as a senior finance major at the College of Staten Island, showcasing his ambition and drive to succeed in both areas.
"Many times I've been overlooked, doubted and seen as the 'tough guy who can't box' but that never deterred me. I work harder than anyone and had no doubt that it would show one day. I proved a lot of people wrong."
"This is just the start. Me and my team are getting right back to work. This makes me happy, but more than anything, it just made me even hungrier."
