Andre Harvey a fighter on the move Story and photo by Susan Lewis had Kreuz Nach Germany when Andre Harvey was a kid his older brother Lold him an Opportunity is never missed someone else just gets Harvey says he never told his brother that he remembered that advice. My brother he s got an ego. Admit Ting that i remembered something like that would Only make his head what is important though is that Harvey thinks about those words every Day of his life. Harvey is easy to find. Just look in the Comer room of the gym at Rose Barracks in bad or Cugnach any afternoon. It s not hard to figure out which Comer it s the one with the music. In that Corner hangs a Blue punching bag chained to a girder. The bag has see better Days. He s Only been boxing seriously for about four years but to watch him you would think otherwise. Harvey has quickly worked his Way Upin those four years claiming championship titles at the v corps and usar eur Levels. The 125-Pound featherweight from co. A 8th signal in in bad or Cugnach is one of several top army boxers who rep resented Usa eur at International meets this year. His last major bout was at the International Silver Thistle tournament in ecu Hauson Germany where he won the final against an austrian. The tournament was t All he had expected though. Several teams did show up. Many of them from Eastern bloc countries. I be got a title that i can t completely claim Harvey says not everybody showed up. So the tournament was t what it could have been. I did great at Neuhausen though and i do feel Good about fighting in Berlin with the . National team last july Harvey lost against a German who was ranked second in the nation. I think it was a bad decision.

When i m in a match and i know it s close i can accept losing. But when my opponent comes up to me and tells me he thinks i won it s kind of hard to Harvey s Talent is taking him to the All army Camp at fort Hood. He is scheduled to arrive at the Camp in Jan uary. The All army championships Are in april. A win would improve his chances of making the . National team. The self coached Harvey says training Camps arc Lough but necessary. When i m at Camp every Day i have to think a lot about what i cat. Sure every once in a while i d like to eat some chips or a Nice big piece of cake Lull i can t let m self do it. There s something bigger out there for me if i Don t eat that cake and that s what i although Harvey save he gets the Best support possible from his unit lie also says that they Don t know his daily routine.
