It\u2019s that confidence that has carried her through the past few months in preparation for the upcoming Brandenburg Cup. Entering her first and final international competition for the USA Boxing Youth High Performance team, Olayo-Munoz is prepared to do whatever it takes to bring home a gold medal.<\/p>\n
\u201cA gold medal in Germany will leave a stamp on my career. I\u2019ve been saying this is my redemption round,\u201d Olayo-Munoz acknowledged about the upcoming Brandenburg Cup. \u201cI\u2019m back and I\u2019m more than ready to capture gold in the next couple of days. This tournament means a lot to me. Not only is this my first international tournament, but this is my first time traveling out of the country, competing on the highest level and doing what I love. Also, having my mom and my grandpa come out to watch me fight is a huge bonus because I get to share a special moment with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
After competing at the Brandenburg Cup, she will then focus on a new era of her amateur career, one that will come with many decisions and even more opportunities. Looking ahead to the 2025 USA Boxing National Championships in Lubbock, Texas (Dec. 6-13), Olayo-Munoz will age up into the Elite division. From there, she will embark on her next journey within the sport, one that has a potential stop at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn December, I will be going Elite, and I\u2019m going to do whatever God has planned for me. I know with His guidance, He will lead me to the path that\u2019s meant for me. I\u2019m ready for whatever opportunity comes my way. I just want the four-year-old little girl who started boxing to be proud of herself because she\u2019s checking off everything that she dreamed of doing. This is only the beginning of her story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joscelyn, or \u201cJos the Boss,\u201d as she is commonly referred to within the sport, is set to take on new aspects of her amateur boxing career, both over the next week and during the remainder of 2025. Her potential to represent the USA Boxing organization on the international level is one that the organization is incredibly excited to watch.<\/p>\n
Olayo-Munoz and the rest of her 2025 USA Boxing Youth High Performance teammates will begin competition on Wednesday, July 30. Keep up with Joscelyn\u2019s schedule at the 2025 Brandenburg Cup in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, HERE<\/strong><\/a>.
