NEW YORK (November 8, 2024) - Elijah Lugo recently added another significant achievement at the 2024 World Boxing U19 Championships, winning a gold medal for Team USA.
Beginning late October and finishing up at the end last week, the tournament saw Lugo dominate his bouts, including a strong final performance against Nikita Prohovskis from Latvia, where he won by unanimous decision. This victory capped a very impressive two week plus run for Lugo, as he previously won on points and secured a technical stoppage victory (RSC) in earlier rounds. His contributions led a strong Team USA, which won multiple medals.
As previously stated, Lugo dominated the 2024 World Boxing U19 Championships from start to finish and continued to demonstrate his elite boxing prowess to go with devastating strength and power. This gold medal win follows up an impressive start to 2024, where he set Team USA’s record for knockouts. A record, which prior to Elijah, was held by none other than Nathan Lugo. His older brother.
Nathan is represented by Split-T Management and promoted by Frank and George Warren of Queensberry Promotions. The older Lugo made his professional debut in 2024 and was featured on the streaming platform DAZN for his bouts.
Elijah Lugo, 18 years-old from Marietta, Georgia is trained by his father Michael Lugo and trains at the Lugo Boxing Club. More updates to come on Elijah’s promising career in the near future.
