WORCESTER, Massa. (Outubro 2, 2017) – Cliente potencial local Policial “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, iniciando Sábado noite, Outubro 28, in the fourth and final 2017 parcela da série de boxe profissional populares, “Futuro da Nova Inglaterra”, no Centro DCU (Hall de exibição) em Worcester, Massachusetts.
“Futuro 4 do New England” é apresentado por Rivera Promoções Entretenimento (RPE), que é de propriedade e operados por aposentou três vezes, dois divisão campeão mundial Jose Antonio Rivera e seu filho, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“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” a perspectiva crescente, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Às vezes, embora, 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. A.J. 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,” A.J. adicionado. “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 nos Estados Unidos, e n. 2 no mundo.
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. Rivera, plus his head trainer, Rocky Gonzalez. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz e 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 KOs) pro record between 1993 e 1999. Hoje, 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, no anel, mas, 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 (Oscar) De La Hoya, (Shane) Mosley, (Evander) Holyfield and so many other great fighters. We are different, embora. 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. Agora, 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 (middleweight júnior. 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, muito. 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) Jose, 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, A.J., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Worcester – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Junho 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, Rodrigo Almeida, 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 ‘Açúcar’ Raio (Leonard). 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. 28th fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” artista (3-7-1, 2 KOs), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, em um ataque de quatro rodada.
O ex-WBU americanos e IBU norte-americano campeão cruiserweight Vinnie “Pesadelo americano” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs), lutando fora de Pembroke (MA), will face an opponent to be determined in the eight-round main event.
O ex-UFC desafiante ao título dos pesos pesados Gabriel “atacou” Gonzaga fará sua estréia no boxe profissional em uma partida de quatro rodada contra Washington D.C.. peso-pesado Alando Pugh (1-10-1, 1 KO).

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

WORCESTER, Massa. (Junho 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis assume Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey para a vaga Federação Universal Boxing (UBF) World title, no sábado noite, Junho 10, no oito-redonda “New England’s Future 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Hall de exibição) em Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 3” é apresentado por Rivera Promoções Entretenimento (RPE), que é de propriedade e operados por aposentou três vezes, dois divisão campeão mundial Jose Antonio Rivera e seu filho, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
Perspectiva invicta Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KOs), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, contra Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KOs), do Bronx (Nova Iorque), 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’ evento de boxe,” 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 em 11 anos, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro Garcia, por meio de uma decisão unânime 12-redonda, para a Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) título mundial de super meio-médio.
Born in Greece, Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 KO), who grew-up in Turners Falls (MA), 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 (em Worcester, 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, KOs), 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 (MA) fan favorite Vinnie “Pesadelo americano” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs) meets Brazilian knockout specialist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” da Silva (22-4, 17 KOs).
Lutando na eliminatória, tudo em quatro redondos bouts, are Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-1, 5 KOs) vs. TBA, Lawrence (MA) meio-médio júnior Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (2-0, 2 KOs) vs. Buffalo’s Jack Grady (0-5-1), Worcester pena Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Woburn (MA) Gilvan Santos (0-3), Springfield (MA) middleweight júnior Grua “Impacto duplo” Whitley (1-0) vs. Norwalk (CT) veterano Shaka Moore (12-22-3, 2 KOs), Worcester’s pro-debuting Bobby Harris III vs. Woburn (MA) super-médios Rodrigo Almeida (1-6), Southbridge (MA) meio-médio júnior Wilfredo “o Sucaro” Pagão (1-0) vs. Lawrence’s Anthony Everett (1-5), Worcester de Bryan Daniels (4-0, 2 KOs) vs. Flórida Christopher “The Archbishop” Boykins (1-8) at a 205-pound catchweight, Hartford de (CT) Richie “Popeye o marinheiro” Rivera (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Brasileiro Nathan Schulte (0-2) at a 180-pound catchweight, and Worcester’s pro-debuting Neal Sullivan vs. Framingham (MA) super-médios Saul Almeida (0-8).
