伍斯特, 质量. (七月 19, 2018) – 花岗岩下巴促销 (GCP) 和里维拉促销娱乐 (RPE) hosted a press conference yesterday at The Ballot Box in Worcester, 马萨诸塞州, to make a major announcement, as well as introduce local fighters on the August 17日pro boxing card at The Palladium in Worcester.
三次, 2处世界冠军 “高卢” 何塞·安东尼奥·里维拉 (41-6-1, 24 科斯) is making his return in the “Making History” 主要事件, in large part because he wanted to fight on the same card as his son, A.J. 里维拉, who was to become the first pro boxer who was born with Spina Bifida. A.J., who is a rising matchmaker in New England, was unable to get medically cleared in time and he will not be fighting Aug. 17.
The event has been renamed, “归国”, because six of the competing fighters, including Jose Antonio Rivera, live in Worcester.
“不幸,” announced promoter 查Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with 克里斯·特雷蒂, “A.J. isn’t fighting on this show because he couldn’t get medically cleared in time.”
“I trained hard and was within five or six pounds of my contract weight,” a disappointed A.J. 里维拉解释. “I passed all of the medical tests except for the CATSCAN. I fought the doctor a little and said I wanted a second opinion. Those results won’t be in time, so I can’t fight on this card.”
“The reason I’m coming back was to make history with my son,” Jose Antonio Rivera added. “We had talked about it a long time but, 可惜, it wasn’t meant to be for A.J. for this card. He’s already part of history already as the only fighter born with Spina Bifida who fought as an amateur. I feel bad, but everything happens for a reason and as a father, my son’s safety always comes first. He will continue to be an important part of our team to make our company a success. People are thrown curveballs in life like this and we’ve regrouped to turn this into a positive. We’re still fighting for the cause (Spina Bifida).”
现在 45 岁, Rivera has already lost more than 30 英镑, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against 鲁本 “现代战士” 加尔万 (27-26-4, 10 科斯).
在 1997, 里维拉夺得国际拳击组织冠军 (IBO) 世界次中量级冠军, 停车 吉尔伯托·弗洛雷斯 在第二轮. 六年后, 他前往德国挑战不败的对手, 家乡的喜爱 米歇尔·特拉班特 (38-0) 为空置世界拳击协会 (WBA) 世界次中量级冠军, 里维拉赢得了 12 轮判定并赢得了腰带.
两个战斗后, in front of nearly 10,000 伍斯特的家乡球迷, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 超过卫冕冠军 亚历杭德罗·加西亚 (25-1) 争夺WBA世界超次中量级冠军.

Undefeated light heavyweight prospect 理查德 “大力水手曼” 里维拉 (8-0, 7 科斯), 哈特福德外的战斗, CT, is slated to fight in a six-round bout vs. TBA, as well as his stable mate, two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “被选中的人” 沙拉德·科利尔 (1-0, 1 KO), who takes on his Mexican opponent, 伊曼纽尔 “Pollo” Valadez (5-4, 4 科斯), 在四轮比赛中.
斯普林菲尔德也计划在四轮比赛中进行底牌比赛, MA量级 何塞·安吉尔 “KO” Ortiz Jose Angel “KO” 奥尔蒂斯 (4-13-1, 1 KO) VS. 塞斯·巴斯勒 (0-8) 以及首次亮相的羽量级选手 约书亚奥尔塔 VS. 伍斯特的 埃德温·罗萨 (1-7-1, 1 KO), 南桥, MA量级 维尔弗雷 “该Sucaro” 异教徒 (4-0, 2 科斯) VS.

新闻发布会行情
Joe Antonio Rivera: “I want to thank everybody for coming. Tomorrow is four weeks to the weigh in. It’s an important date because fighting is easy, making weight isn’t. I want to thank Granite Chin Promotions
“Four Worcester fighters (球, 灰色的, Irizarry and Owusu) on this card have never fought here. It’s huge having Kendrick and Khiary on this card and I’d like to thank CES Boxing for allowing them to fight here. I’m proud of Kendrick and Khiary and excited to have them fighting on this show. Chuck and Granite Chin are running this show, I’m only focused on my opponent.
“I’m excited to have an opponent who is coming to fight. He’s my third opponent, but that’s part of boxing. 我刻苦训练, passed my medicals, and it’s like I’m hungry again. I haven’t fought in years, but I’ve taken good care of my body. I didn’t visualize doing this at 45. I’ve also heard that, after August 17日, there’s a possibility of a title for me by the end of this year.”
查Shearns (GCP联合发起人): “I’m honored to be involved in this show. Jose and I have been friends for years. Months ago, this all started with a text conversation (Chuck, Jose and A.J.). A week later, it started getting serious, and then we had Jose and A.J. fighting on this card. 不幸, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”
吉米·伯奇菲尔德 (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (球) and Khiary to fight on this card. I’ve had a good relationship with Chuck and I’ve known Jose and A.J., who worked for me, 许久. Nothing was happening in Worcester boxing for years, until Jose and A.J. started promoting here, but Worcester has always been a good fight town. All the fighters here will be proud of your victory. 这很漂亮! They’ve been around him and know what he’s accomplished in life. Jose has never abused his body, he’s taken good care of himself.
“We (CES拳击) had an event scheduled August 17日 at Twin River (林肯, RI), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17日 on Worcester. How could I not have my Worcester fighters on Jose Rivera’s comeback card? ‘Pepper’ and Khiary really wanted to fight on this card. These kids (fighters seated at head table) look up to Jose for what he’s done and in life and his comeback is a really big story. I know what ‘Pepper” and Khiary are going to do and I know what Jose is going to do because he’s a veteran. I believe this will be a sell out!”
肯德里克球, 小: “I want to thank my promoter, 吉米·伯奇菲尔德, for giving me the okay to fight on this card. I also want to thank Granite Chin Promotions and Rivera Promotions Entertainment. I’ve waited for this a long time. This fight will give me a chance to redeem myself and show why I’m the next great middleweight to come out of Worcester. I’m ready to get it on.”
Khiary灰色: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment, CES Boxing and Granite Chin Promotions for giving me a chance to fight at home for the first time. This is a rematch for me. I stopped him in the first round, but there was some controversy. I know he’s coming to fight.”
Eslih Owusi: “I just graduated from high school and I wasn’t going to turn pro until after that. Fighting as a pro will be much more exciting than in the amateurs.”
何塞·安赫尔·奥尔蒂斯: “我很兴奋. I haven’t fought in two years. I was supposed to return before, but things didn’t work out. I never left boxing because I’m in the gym all the time working out or training other fighters. Jose and I are both in our forties. We’re going to show everybody that we can still fight.”
埃德温·罗萨: “I will try and put on the best show I can.”
约书亚奥尔塔: “I’m very happy about my first pro fight. I’ve dreamed of this day. Everybody is going to see an exciting card. I love this sport and always train hard.”
