Suddenly, after an arid year 2020, things are happening at a dizzying pace for Albuquerque amateur boxer Sharahya-Taina Moreu.
Of the most interest: Yoruba Moreu, his daughter’s coach, said she has been elevated to USA Boxing’s Olympic-qualification alternate position at 152 pounds.
Sharahya-Taina got that news while in Big Bear, California, where she’s been in camp with legendary pro Cecilia Braekhus, helping Braekhus prepare for her March 13 rematch against Jessica McCaskill.
