WORCESTER, جرم. (اکتبر 2, 2017) – چشم انداز محلی پاسبان “BH3” هریس III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer بابی هریس, راه افتادن روز شنبه شب, اکتبر 28, in the fourth and final 2017 قسط از سری محبوب بوکس حرفه ای, “آینده جدید انگلستان”, در مرکز DCU (سالن نمایشگاه) در Worcester, ماساچوست.
“آینده 4 جدید انگلستان” است ریورا جوایز سرگرمی ارائه شده (RPE), که متعلق به بازنشسته سه بار عمل, قهرمان جهان دو بخش خوزه آنتونیو ریورا و پسرش, Anthonee (A.J.) ریورا.
“BH3” and A.J. grew-up together in gyms as sons of pro fighters. They had dreams of making it in boxing, which has come to fruition with “BH3” چشم انداز رو به افزایش, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. در زمان, گرچه, what’s transpired may be somewhat surreal for both young men.
I grew up in boxing,” Bobby Harris III explained. “My father always brought me to the gym and his fights. دایی من, آدام هریس, was also a pro boxer. My father and Jose were super close, me and A.J. grew-up as brothers. The same blood couldn’t make us any closer. It’s me and AJ. My first amateur fight was when I was 13. A.J. used to run and workout with me. I’d go to his house after school and sleep over on weekends. We planned our lives together in boxing; my job is to fight and A.J. promotes and makes matches.
I remember growing up with Bobby as my brother,” A.J. اضافه. “We did everything together: ran, آموزش دیده, sparred and pushed each other to our greatest limits. He’s grown so much over the years. His natural ability, mixed with years of experience, and Bobby growing into a man will surely lead to him being world champion one day. I’m truly proud and excited to see our childhood plan unfold.
“BH3” only had about 40 amateur matches but the large majority were at the national level. He is a two-time national amateur champion, including a gold-medal performance in the USA National Championships, and as a member of Team USA, he was rated No. 1 در امریکا, و بدون. 2 در جهان.
The 21-year-old decided to turn pro earlier this year, rather than wait for a shot at the Olympics, after discussing his options with his father, as well as Jose and A.J. ریورا, plus his head trainer, راکی گونزالس. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz و اروین گونزالس turning pro, along with the arrival of now 8-month-old Bobby Harris IV, were key factors in his decision to become a professional boxer. “I didn’t want to waste another year,” Bobby admitted. “Turning pro now will get me into rankings earlier. The time was right
Bobby’s father was a 4-time national amateur champion as a super heavyweight who compiled a 20-2-1 (13 کوس) pro record between 1993 و 1999. امروز, he is an important member of his son’s corner, but he did leave a shadow cast over his son, especially across New England.
People will always compare me with my dad, در حلقه, اما, as good as he was, it’s a great honor to be his son,” Bobby Harris III remarked. “It’s been nothing but good for me. He trained with fighters like (جایزه اسکار) د لا هیا, (Shane) Mosley, (Harmony، معدن Evander) Holyfield در and so many other great fighters. We are different, گرچه. and now I’m establishing my own identity. The sport has changed so much since he fought. Back then it was mostly two guys beating each other up, not as much of a performance. I like to put on a good performance and have people say, ‘He’s cool, and when does he fight again. My dad has told me how different boxing is today compared to when he fought. اکنون, marketing is so important for fighters, and a lot of exposure is through social media.
My father was a heavyweight, I’m going to go down to 154 (میان نیست.. He is so much bigger, taller and heavier than I am, so fighting in different weight classes separates us. I’m a different style fighter, هم. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3as my persona. We are different in and out of the ring.
I have known Little Bobby (as I call him) since he was born,” Jose Rivera noted. “He calls me, Tio (uncle) خوزه, and I love him like a member of my family. I am happy and proud to see little Bobby go after his dreams and goals his way and on his terms. I wouldn’t want it any other way. My son, A.J., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. ورچستر – and soon enough the rest of the worldwill know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past ژوئن 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, رودریگو المیدا, who seemed more interested in survival, often frustrating “BH3” with his constant holding.
I’m happy with the way that fight went because I learned so much,” Bobby commented. “I was so excited with all the hype about my pro debut, and I was into the crowd trying for the knockout. I learned that I need to take my time, خوش بگذره, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run likeقند’ اشعه (لئونارد). My first pro fight wasn’t really me. I’m the matador but I can fight like a bull if the opportunity comes to me. I can change things around but I forgot to have fun in my pro debut.
