Юни 16 в Xfinity Center в Хартфорд, CT

ХАРТФОРД, Кон. (Май 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, Ричард “Попай Моряка” Rivera, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (маточния кръвен поток) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ встъпително събитие, “Бойна нощ в столицата”, Юни 16^тата в Xfinity Center в Хартфорд, Connecticut.

Rivera (7-0, 6 Нокаута) has partnered with his trainer, Тони Уайт, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, Майкъл Тран, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.

Boxing’s rich roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, заглавие от Международната зала на славите Уили “Уил о’ Мъдростта” жизненост и Кристофър “Битка” Баталино.

Други боксьори от най-високите зони включват световен шампион Marlon “Магия Man” скорец, свят за титлата Гаспар “индианец” Ортега, и Израел “по-скоро” Кардона, и 1996 Капитан на американския олимпийски боксов отбор Lawrence Clay-бей.

Rivera will take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-3-2, 9 Нокаута) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, разбира се, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera said. “I’m all about boxing. My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16^тата and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Сега, I want to expand my horizons. I have a huge following from our gym and church, but I want to bring non-boxing fans to our show to make them boxing fans.

“There’s no such thing as an easy fight. It all starts with training, which makes fighting easier. I may get an early knockout, but I always train to go the distance. My opponent has fought on television a few times against some fighters with good records. I know that I am going to be in a fight. I’ll be ready for war!”

This past April in New Hampshire, Rivera hit his opponent, Randy Campbell, so hard with a powerful right, that the force broke Campbell’s ankle only seconds into the contest.

“Fighting is a way of life,” Ривера е обяснено. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”

Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “Попай,” and the nickname has stuck. Сега, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Юни 16^татаwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
