(L-R) – 邁克爾·特蘭, 理查德·里維拉（Richard Rivera） & 托尼·懷特

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·懷特 and his Hartford-based House of Boxing gym partner, 邁克爾·特蘭, have teamed with their undefeated light heavyweight prospect, 理查德 “大力水手曼” 里維拉 (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 Willie “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep 和 Christopher “Battling” Battalino. Other top-area boxers include world champion 馬龍 “魔術師” 八哥, 世界冠軍挑戰者 Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega, “冰人” 約翰·斯卡利 和 以色列 “寧” 卡多納, 和 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain 勞倫斯·克萊貝.
