Bowen Aims for Double Gold in Madrid Kickboxing Showdown
31 Oct
Summary
- Sharic Bowen targets two gold medals at ISKA AMA World Championships.
- Bowen faces European fighters known for their 'bulldozing' tactics.
- He brings increased experience and confidence to the Madrid tournament.
Sharic Bowen, the reigning ISKA AMA World Champion in semi-contact (-65kg), is heading to Madrid, Spain, to compete in the upcoming World Championships. Armed with his 2023 gold medal from Brisbane, Australia, Bowen aims to secure two gold medals this time. He is part of a five-man Jamaican team departing on November 3.
Bowen anticipates facing European fighters who employ a 'bulldozing' strategy. He noted that lightweights typically rely on speed and technical skill, but he has learned to counter the European approach by maintaining composure and exploiting their weaknesses. His journey in ISKA AMA began as a junior in 2018.
Having won senior bronze medals in Austria in 2024 and gold at the New York Taekwondo Open last September, Bowen has steadily progressed. He secured his first ISKA AMA World Championship gold in semi-contact, also earning a bronze in light contact despite an injury. He feels more prepared and confident for the Madrid event, aiming to peak at the right time.
