My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16уми and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Ҳозир, 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 фаҳмонд,. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”

Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “Popeye,” and the nickname has stuck. Ҳозир, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans.
