Pure Heart Muay Thai youth champion Damien Ezra Gutierrez has been selected to represent the United States of America as a member of Team WBC USA at the WBC amateur world championships in Verona, Italy June 25-29. I have also been selected as a Team USA coach, and we are raising funds to help Ezra achieve his goal of becoming a world champion at 10 years old.

The funds will be used for three main sets of expenses: tournament registration, plane tickets to Italy, and our team hotel and accomodations.

At just 10 years old, Ezra has been a dedicated student since he was 6. He has more than 30 bouts to his name, and is already the youngest ever USMTO A-Class national champion. Now he looks to become one of the US's youngest ever world champions as the youngest member of team WBC USA.

In addition to his Muay Thai accomplishments, Ezra is a dedicated and helpful student in the gym and has received both good grades and behavioral awards at his school. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a young man his age, and your support would mean everything in helping Ezra bring a world championship back to El Cajon.

Let's go Ezra and let's go Team WBC USA!
