The Rise of Bahamian Heavyweight Amron Sands

Bahamian heavyweight Amron Sands maintained his undefeated record by scoring a second-round technical knockout over Evander Lamourt in Tampa, Florida.

The victory was made possible by a shot to Lamourt’s body early in the round, which resulted in the latter’s decision not to continue. Sands trained at the Orlando Boxing Academy under coach Jose Cruz, who believes that Sands will become the next great heavyweight in the division.

In an interview with Orlando Sentinel, Cruz stated that Sands possesses the inner fortitude of a champion, which he had observed in his 40 years of experience in boxing. He also praised Sands’ punching power, precision, and humility, predicting that he would be fighting for a world title in a couple of years if everything goes according to plan.

Sands would become only the third Bahamian to hold a world title if he is successful. The first two were Elisha Obed and Sherman “Tank” Williams, respectively.
