It takes U.S. Olympic boxer Rau’shee Warren 10 seconds to size up his opponent. “I just give them ten seconds of what they’re going to do, and then that’s when I come out and I let my punches go,” Warren, 25, told Uinterview exclusively. “I let my pride go and I just start letting combinations go, because I’ve got real fast hands and I move a lot with my feet. I try to give them different looks and different stuff like that, but a lot of times I try to be tricky.”
It is this cunning, quick-thinking ability that has served Warren well throughout his amateur boxing career. Growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren trained at the same gym as Hall of Fame boxer Aaron Pryor, winning his first fight at the age of eight. From there he went on to be the youngest Olympian to compete at the 2004 Games in Athens.
In addition to winning gold at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships in the flyweight division, Warren is the first boxer to compete in three Olympic Games. “I could have gone professional, but I’m not giving up on my dream. I always had the theory that if you have a dream, chase it. And I’m chasing it,” Warren told NBC Olympics. “So now, the third time I’m going back, I’m not giving up. Every second, every minute, I’m not letting go of the gas.”
