WORCESTER, كتلة. (ديسمبر 29, 2016) — ريفيرا الترقيات الترفيه (RPE) held a press conference yesterday to formally announce its inaugural show, “مستقبل جديد انجلترا,” ليلة الخميس, يناير 19, at the Worcester Palladium. It will mark the first professional boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., في خمس سنوات.
Rivera Promotions Entertainment is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-مرة, 2-بطل العالم التقسيم Jose Antonio “وجالو” ريفيرا – along with his son, أنتوني “AJ” ريفيرا, whose collective goal is to bring boxing back to Worcester on a consistent basis, providing boxers a platform and fans a full entertainment experience.
“It’s all about the fighters,” RPE CEO Jose Antonio Rivera said. “I’m in a unique position as a promoter because of my boxing background. I hard it is for local fighters to get fights, which is why we have so many with less than six pro fights and five pro debuts fighters on this card. They are why we’re here today. I never had a press conference until I was much more established in my career. This is about them showcasing their skills.
“After my son graduated from Johnson Wales University with a degree in Sports Management, he told me he was ready to form Rivera Promotions Entertainment, as we had discussed, and promote shows. I lost a lot of money promoting a show in 2008, so I told him to put a plan together first and within a week he did. He had gotten his feet wet in the business as an intern for a boxing promoter. We went over the plan ad decided that we can do this. We’re not signing fighters, الآن, we’re helping them build their careers. We do a lot of hard work behind the scenes that the public doesn’t see; the fighters work in the gym. I’m really excited about January 19عشر. Irvin Gonzalez is a future world champion.”
“We appreciate the support being given to us and the fighters who give their blood, sweat and tears for you,” RPE president A.J. وأضاف ريفيرا. “I got into the business side of boxing as an intern working for CES. In Worcester, we have 11 active fighters, all on the rise, and to bring boxing back to Worcester is special, Teamwork makes dreams work. I also want to note that none of these fighters turned down a single opponent we offered.”
