WORCESTER, ಮಾಸ್. (ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 2, 2017) – Local prospect ಬಾಬಿ “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, ಆರಂಭಿಕ ಶನಿವಾರ ರಾತ್ರಿ, ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “ನ್ಯೂ ಇಂಗ್ಲೆಂಡ್ ಫ್ಯೂಚರ್”, DCU ಸೆಂಟರ್ (Exhibition Hall) ವೋರ್ಸೆಸ್ಟರ್, ಮ್ಯಾಸಚೂಸೆಟ್ಸ್.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, ಎರಡು ವಿಭಾಗದ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ ಜೋಸ್ ಆಂಟೊನಿಯೊ ರಿವೆರ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ಮಗ, Anthonee (ಎ.ಜೆ.) ರಿವೆರ.
“BH3” and A.J. grew-up together in gyms as sons of pro fighters. They had dreams of making it in boxing, which has come to fruition with “BH3” ಏರುತ್ತಿರುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಎ.ಜೆ.. the president and matchmaker for RPE. ಸಮಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಆದರೂ, what’s transpired may be somewhat surreal for both young men.
“I grew up in boxing,” Bobby Harris III explained. “My father always brought me to the gym and his fights. My uncle, Adam Harris, was also a pro boxer. My father and Jose were super close, me and A.J. grew-up as brothers. The same blood couldn’t make us any closer. It’s me and AJ. My first amateur fight was when I was 13. ಎ.ಜೆ.. used to run and workout with me. I’d go to his house after school and sleep over on weekends. We planned our lives together in boxing; my job is to fight and A.J. promotes and makes matches.”
“I remember growing up with Bobby as my brother,” ಎ.ಜೆ.. ಸೇರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. “We did everything together: ran, trained, sparred and pushed each other to our greatest limits. He’s grown so much over the years. His natural ability, mixed with years of experience, and Bobby growing into a man will surely lead to him being world champion one day. I’m truly proud and excited to see our childhood plan unfold.”
“BH3” only had about 40 amateur matches but the large majority were at the national level. He is a two-time national amateur champion, including a gold-medal performance in the USA National Championships, and as a member of Team USA, he was rated No. 1 U.S ನಲ್ಲಿ, ಮತ್ತು ಯಾವುದೇ. 2 ಪ್ರಪಂಚದಲ್ಲಿ.
The 21-year-old decided to turn pro earlier this year, rather than wait for a shot at the Olympics, after discussing his options with his father, as well as Jose and A.J. ರಿವೆರ, plus his head trainer, ರಾಕಿ ಗೊನ್ಜಾಲೆಜ್. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz ಮತ್ತು Irvin Gonzalez turning pro, along with the arrival of now 8-month-old Bobby Harris IV, were key factors in his decision to become a professional boxer. “I didn’t want to waste another year,” Bobby admitted. “Turning pro now will get me into rankings earlier. The time was right”
Bobby’s father was a 4-time national amateur champion as a super heavyweight who compiled a 20-2-1 (13 ಕಾಸ್) pro record between 1993 ಮತ್ತು 1999. ಇಂದು, he is an important member of his son’s corner, but he did leave a shadow cast over his son, especially across New England.
“People will always compare me with my dad, ರಿಂಗ್, ಆದರೆ, as good as he was, it’s a great honor to be his son,” Bobby Harris III remarked. “It’s been nothing but good for me. He trained with fighters like (ಆಸ್ಕರ್) ಡಿ ಲಾ ಹೋಯ, (Shane) Mosley, (Evander) Holyfield and so many other great fighters. We are different, ಆದರೂ. and now I’m establishing my own identity. The sport has changed so much since he fought. Back then it was mostly two guys beating each other up, not as much of a performance. I like to put on a good performance and have people say, ‘He’s cool, and when does he fight again. My dad has told me how different boxing is today compared to when he fought. ಈಗ, marketing is so important for fighters, and a lot of exposure is through social media.
“My father was a heavyweight, I’m going to go down to 154 (ಕಿರಿಯ ಮಿಡಲ್. He is so much bigger, taller and heavier than I am, so fighting in different weight classes separates us. I’m a different style fighter, ತುಂಬಾ. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3’ as my persona. We are different in and out of the ring.”
“I have known Little Bobby (as I call him) since he was born,” Jose Rivera noted. “He calls me, Tio (uncle) ಜೋಸ್, and I love him like a member of my family. I am happy and proud to see little Bobby go after his dreams and goals his way and on his terms. I wouldn’t want it any other way. My son, ಎ.ಜೆ., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. ವೋರ್ಸೆಸ್ಟರ್ – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past ಜೂನ್ 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 ಎಕ್ಸ್ 3) over an awkward opponent, ರೋಡ್ರಿಗೋ ಅಲ್ಮೇಡಾ, who seemed more interested in survival, often frustrating “BH3” with his constant holding.
“I’m happy with the way that fight went because I learned so much,” Bobby commented. “I was so excited with all the hype about my pro debut, and I was into the crowd trying for the knockout. I learned that I need to take my time, have fun, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run like ‘ಸಕ್ಕರೆ’ ರೇ (ಲಿಯೊನಾರ್ಡ್). My first pro fight wasn’t really me. I’m the matador but I can fight like a bull if the opportunity comes to me. I can change things around but I forgot to have fun in my pro debut.”
“BH3” plans to breakout from his father’s shadow in his Oct. 28ನೇ fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” ಕಲಾವಿದ (3-7-1, 2 ಕಾಸ್), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, in a four-round bout.

Heavyweight Sonya Lamonakis Takes on Laura Ramsey for vacant UBF World Championship
“New England’s Future 3” June 10th ವೋರ್ಸೆಸ್ಟರ್, ಎಮ್ಎ

WORCESTER, ಮಾಸ್. (ಜೂನ್ 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis ಪಡೆದಿರುತ್ತದೆ Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey ಖಾಲಿ ಯುನಿವರ್ಸಲ್ ಬಾಕ್ಸಿಂಗ್ ಫೆಡರೇಶನ್ ಫಾರ್ (UBF) World title, ಶನಿವಾರ ರಾತ್ರಿ, ಜೂನ್ 10, ಎಂಟು ಸುತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ “New England’s Future 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) ವೋರ್ಸೆಸ್ಟರ್, ಮ್ಯಾಸಚೂಸೆಟ್ಸ್.
“New England’s Future 3” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, ಎರಡು ವಿಭಾಗದ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ ಜೋಸ್ ಆಂಟೊನಿಯೊ ರಿವೆರ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ಮಗ, Anthonee (ಎ.ಜೆ.) ರಿವೆರ.
Undefeated prospect Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 ಕಾಸ್), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, ವಿರುದ್ಧ Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 ಕಾಸ್), ಬ್ರಾಂಕ್ಸ್ನ (ಎನ್ವೈ), for the vacant UBF All-American super featherweight championship.
“I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ ಬಾಕ್ಸಿಂಗ್ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಯನ್ನು,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another. They’ve both earned this opportunity to fight for the UBF Women’s World Heavyweight Championship. I expect fireworks and know fans will be in for a treat.”
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time ರಲ್ಲಿ 11 ವರ್ಷಗಳ, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated ಅಲೆಜಾಂಡ್ರೋ ಗಾರ್ಸಿಯಾ, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, for the World Boxing Association (WBA) World super welterweight title.
Born in Greece, Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 ಕೋ), who grew-up in Turners Falls (ಎಮ್ಎ), is a teacher in New York City. She is a Springfield College graduate and has two Master’s Degrees. “I’m honored to be fighting in the first world title fight in Worcester since Jose Rivera,” Lamonakis said. “I’m from Massachusetts and I fought twice at Mechanics Hall (ವೋರ್ಸೆಸ್ಟರ್, including her pro debut in 2010). I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
“This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.”
Lamonakis; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, ಕಾಸ್), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
“I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.”
In an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction, Pembroke (ಎಮ್ಎ) fan favorite Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 ಕಾಸ್) meets Brazilian knockout specialist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” Da Silva (22-4, 17 ಕಾಸ್).
