(L-R) – Michael Tran, 理查德·里维拉 & 托尼·布兰科

哈特福德, 康涅狄格州. (四月 4, 2018) – Professional boxing’s newest promotional company, Hartford Boxing Promotions, has announced its official formation, as well as tentative plans calling for its inaugural event this summer in Hartford.

 

 

 

Boxing trainer 托尼·布兰科 and his Hartford-based House of Boxing gym partner, Michael Tran, have teamed with their undefeated light heavyweight prospect, 理查德 “大力水手曼” 里维拉 (6-0, 5 科斯), to form Hartford Boxing Promotions. Rivera is one of the best and most popular pro fighters in New England.

 

 

 

“We want to bring boxing back to Hartford,” Blanco addressed why they founded this new promotional company. “Hartford is a hotbed of boxing. There’s a lot of talent here and Hartford has a rich boxing history.

 

 

 

“We hope to promote our first show on June 16th, subject to Connecticut Boxing Commission approval, at Xfinity Theatre in Hartford. It’s owned by Live Nation and has been used only as a concert hall, but it has an old-school feel and will be an awesome venue for boxing. We’re excited about promoting events in this new venue for boxing.”

 

 

 

Boxing’s roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, headlined by International Hall of Famers 威利 “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep 和 Christopher “Battling” Battalino. Other top-area boxers include world champion 马龙 “魔术师” Starling, 世界冠军挑战者 加斯帕 “印第安” 奥尔特加, “冰人” 约翰·斯卡利 和 以色列 “宁” 卡多纳, 和 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain 劳伦斯·克莱贝.
