KENNEDY JOINS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, GARY ’SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN, JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY ON STACKED HOLIDAY CARD


Субота, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON


EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS ОСЬ!


Бостон (Березня 4, 2019):


Murphys боксу is excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, Niall Kennedі (12-0-1, 8 КО) була додана The 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash який відбудеться Субота, March 16th в Бостон, Массачусетс на House of Blues.


One of Murphys Boxing’s most popular fighters, ‘Boom Boom’, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win this past October when he took the ‘O’ from fellow undefeated heavyweight, Брендан Барретт in a fight broadcast on DAZN.


Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Clash, his third time appearing at the annual event, and he knows firsthand the excitement and energy that comes with it.


“I won the Massachusetts State Heavyweight Title on the Murphys Paddys Day show in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed at a boxing event. I’m looking forward to being part of it again.”


Кеннеді, despite hailing from Gorey, Ireland where he works full time as a policeman, боровся 10 з його 13 professional fights in the New England area and actually considers Boston his boxing home.


“I’m blessed with the support that I have received from the people of Boston and Massachusetts in general. I have a large family connection in the state who bring out massive support so when it comes to boxing homes, Boston is my first boxing home.”


As for 2019, Kennedy is dead set on upping the competition and even has his eyes on a fellow unbeaten heavyweight who like himself is creating a buzz in a boxing crazed east coast city.


“My goal is always to improve with each fight. I want to be world ranked and fight the top names in the division but I know if that’s going to happen, 2019 has to be a huge year for me. There’s a lot of fighters I want to share the ring with but right now I think myself vs Philadelphia’s Darmani Rock is a fight that should and will happen.”


Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey agrees that 2019 will be a breakout year for Kennedy and that his addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes the event to a whole new level.


“Niall is one of our most popular fighters and he has huge fights on the horizon. We want to keep him active this year so he can be at his best for what lies ahead. Having an Irish heavyweight on a St. Patrick’s Day show puts this card over the top as one of the best Murphys Boxing has ever done.”


The Saint Patrick’s Day Clash will truly be an Irish heavy affair as Kennedy joins a card that has fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate, Cork, Ірландії Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 КО) in a risky fight against Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 КО) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ірландії John Joyce (7-0, 4 КО) and Lucan, Ірландії Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 КО).


Headlining the annual event will be NABA Junior Middleweight Champion, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 КО) who will put his title, and his топ 10 world ranking, on the line against Connecticut’s Джиммі Вільямс (16-1-1, 5 КО).


У со-головній події, непереможеним NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 КО) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, Mike Jiminez (22-1-2, 14 КО).

Murphys боксу is proud to announce their 4th Annual Вулиця. Patrick’s Day Clash will take place on Субота, March 16th ще раз на House of Blues в Бостон.

DeLuca is coming off the highest profile win of his career this past October when he fought on the undercard of Деметріус Андраде років world title fight at TD Garden which was shown worldwide on DAZN. DeLuca won a unanimous decision in what was an immediate rematch of the only blemish on his record, a split decision loss to Walter Wright, considered by most in attendance to be a robbery. Now DeLuca finds himself, not only one of the most popular fighters in New England, but also in contention for a world title shot later this year.


“Being in the Top 10 зараз, I know that I’m only a phone call away from a life changing opportunity.”, explains the former Marine turned title contender.


“I’m always in the gym. I’m staying focused. I know I need a good performance against Williams to keep that opportunity alive.”


Having already headlined a Murphys Boxing event on St. День Патріка, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.


“Вулиця. День Патріка. Бостон. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.”


У со-головній події, one of boxing’s favorite characters, Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 КО) will make his return to Boston, where he has amassed a huge following, to take on Worcester, Массачусетс’ Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 КО) in what promises to be an action packed 8 round battle.


The Cork, Ireland native who is promoted by Murphys Boxing in association with Golden Boy Promotions has moved down to the junior middleweight division where he is looking to make a splash in 2019 after finishing last year with a unanimous decision victory in his home country against the 40 fight veteran, Gabor Gorbics.


“Boston is a home away from home for me.”, says the outspoken, handlebar mustached slugger who has fought in the New England area 10 раз.


“Murphys Boxing Saint Patrick’s Day events are not to be missed. The crowd is insane and I’m coming to give them what they wanna see… a fight!”


The night will also feature a who’s who of New England’s hottest young contenders and prospects.


Murphys Boxing’s Charles Foster (17-0, 8 КО) will put his NABA Light Heavyweight Championship title on the line in a 10 round bout against Chicago’s Mike Jimenez (22-1-2, 14 КО).


The New Haven, Connecticut based Foster is a world ranked contender (#10 в WBA) and is fresh off a national television appearance last year when he beat the previously undefeated, Елвін Varmall, Молодший. на Час Для Шоу. He will face one of his toughest challenges yet against the dangerous, power punching, Jimenez whose only loss came to two-time world title challenger, Джессі Харт.


Revere, Массачусетс’ favorite son, Travis Mazac Gambardella (5-0-2, 2 КО), who trains out of the popular, KnuckleHeadz Gym in Ventura, Каліфорнія, will return home to try and extend his undefeated record against fellow Boston area fighter, Maceo Crowder (2-2, 1 KO) в 6 round middleweight contest.


South Boston’s Joe Farina (4-1, 3 КО), who last fought against Gambardella, dropping a razor close majority decision on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade’s middleweight title fight at TD Garden, will look to get back in the winning column in a four round welterweight rematch against New Jersey’s Стів Мур (1-6, 1 KO) who lost a split decision to Farina last year.


In keeping with the holiday’s theme, there will be an all Irish grudge match when Lucan, Ірландії John Joyce (7-0, 4 КО) travels to America to take on Cork, Ірландії Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 КО), who is now based in New York City, in an 8 round welterweight clash that has Irish pride on the line.


The night will be kicked off by the highly anticipated professional debut of Mansfield, Massachusetts welterweight, Джеймс Perella. The decorated amateur fighter will turn proagainst Woburn, Массачусетс’ Bruno Dias (0-5) в 4 round contest.


“Санкт. Patrick’s Day Clash is my favorite promotion of the year and one that our fighters and fans really look forward to.”, explains, Murphys Boxing founder and Dropkick Murphys frontman, Ken Casey.


“The atmosphere that’s created when you put boxing on in a general admission, standing room only concert venue, let alone on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, creates a unique and intense experience.”


As for the incredibly busy and successful year the promotional company is coming off of, Casey, who will also play 4 consecutive shows with Dropkick Murphys the same week at the same venue, is even more excited about what the new year holds.


“2018 was a breakout year for Murphys Boxing but with contenders like Mark DeLuca and Charles Foster in the position for world title shots later this year and a slew of undefeated prospects on the verge of world rankings, not to mention multiple cards already planned, 2019 will take Murphys Boxing to a whole new level.”


Murphys Boxing’s 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes place on Saturday, March 16th in Boston, Massachusetts at the House of Blues (15 Lansdowne Street). Doors open at 7pm. The night will also feature a special “in ring” acoustic performance by The Dropkick Murphys. Квитки вже у продажу в:

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

В кінці кінців, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Я прекрасно себе почуваю. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Повернення на батьківщину”

Залишити коментар
Чемпіон повернувся!
Серпня 17 в The Palladium в Вустере, Массачусетс
“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

Вустер, Маса. (Липня 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 в заголовку “Повернення на батьківщину”, представлений Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), в The Palladium в Вустере, Массачусетс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Рівера (41-6-1, 24 КО) has already lost more than 30 фунти, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 КО) у головній події восьми раундів.

 

 

 

В 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO в) World welterweight title, зупинка Gilberto Flores у другому турі. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, рідний улюблений Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Алехандро Гарсія(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. Гей-Джей, and I talking about chasing history,” Рівера пояснив. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17ї show.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”

 

 

 

Акції гранітного підборіддя’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns доданої, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Я воював у 49 років, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Кріс (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Чи не, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 років потому. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Зараз, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 а про, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17ї opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Заб Джуда, Хуліо Сезар Чавес-, Молодший., Jorge Paez і Пол Спадафора.

 

 

 

“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“І, звичайно, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”

 

 

 

The name of the event is “Повернення на батьківщину” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

В середньому Kendrick Ball, Молодший. (9-1-2, 6 КО) and junior middleweight Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 КО), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be fighting at home in Worcester as pros for the first time in a pair of six-round bouts.

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in four-round bouts are Springfield, М. А. у напівсередній вазі Jose Angel “KO” Ортіс (4-13-1, 1 KO) проти. сет Basler (0-8) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta проти. Worcester’s Едвін Росадо (1-7-1, 1 KO), Southbridge, М.

Вустер, Маса. (Липня 19, 2018) – Акції гранітного підборіддя (GCP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ) hosted a press conference yesterday at The Ballot Box in Worcester, Массачусетс, to make a major announcement, as well as introduce local fighters on the August 17їpro boxing card at The Palladium in Worcester.

 

 

 

Триразовий, Два-чемпіон світу “Gallo” Хосе Антоніо Рівера (41-6-1, 24 КО) is making his return in the “Making History” головна подія, in large part because he wanted to fight on the same card as his son, A.J. Рівера, who was to become the first pro boxer who was born with Spina Bifida. Гей-Джей, 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, “Повернення на батьківщину”, because six of the competing fighters, including Jose Antonio Rivera, live in Worcester.

 

 

 

“На жаль,” announced promoter Chuck Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with Кріс Траєтті, “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. Рівера пояснив. “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, на жаль, 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).”

 

 

 

Зараз 45 років, Rivera has already lost more than 30 фунти, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 КО).

В середньому Kendrick Ball, Молодший. (9-1-2, 6 КО) and junior middleweight Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 КО), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be making their pro debuts at home in Worcester. Ball faces an opponent to be determined in the six-round co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 КО) відповідає Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 КО), of Brockton, Массачусетс, also in a six rounder.

 

 

 

Undefeated light heavyweight prospect Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера (8-0, 7 КО), fighting out of Hartford, Коннектикут, is slated to fight in a six-round bout vs. TBA, as well as his stable mate, two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “Обраний” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO), who takes on his Mexican opponent, Еммануель “Pollo” Valadez (5-4, 4 КО), in a four-round match.

Прес-конференція Котирування

 

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 (М'яч, Gray, 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. Я тренувався, 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 17ї, there’s a possibility of a title for me by the end of this year.”

 

Chuck Shearns (GCP co-promoter): “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. На жаль, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”

 

Джиммі Берчфілд (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (М'яч) 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, for a long time. 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. This is beautiful! 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 Boxing) had an event scheduled August 17ї at Twin River (Lincoln, Род-Айленд), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17ї 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!”

 

Kendrick Ball, Молодший: “I want to thank my promoter, Джиммі Берчфілд, 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 Gray: “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.”

 

Jose Angel Ortiz: “Я дуже радий. 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.”

 

Едвін Росадо: “I will try and put on the best show I can.”

 

Joshua Orta: “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.”

MAKING HISTORY
Featuring the return of 3-time, 2-чемпіон світу
“Gallo” JOSE ANTONIO RIVERA
Субота, Серпня 17, 2018

Серпня 17 в The Palladium в Вустере, Массачусетс
(L-Р): A.J. and Jose Antonio Rivera

 

Вустер, Маса. (Червень 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, Два-чемпіон світу “Gallo” Хосе Антоніо Рівера and his pro-debuting son, A.J. Рівера, because they will be “Making History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, Серпня 17 at The Palladium.

 

 

 

Rivera and his son, відповідно, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), which will co-promote “Making History” with Granite Chin Promotions (GCP).

 

 

 

“We are excited to be teaming up with GCP for this historic boxing event,” Jose commented. “We have had the pleasure of working with Chris (Traietti) and Chuck (Shearns) in the past. We are grateful that they are able to work with us again to make sure we put together a great boxing event.”

 

 

 

The Riveras will become the first world-champion father-son combination to fight on a pro show that is promoted by their company. More significantly, A.J. will become the first pro boxer to be born with Spina Bifida.

 

 

 

Зараз 45 років, Rivera is making his second comeback, but this time it’s solely to fight on the same card as his son. Due to a variety of reasons, “Gallo” retired from the ring in 2008, but he came back in 2011 for two fights, both victories, before hanging up his gloves again.

 

 

 

В 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO в) World welterweight title, зупинка Gilberto Flores у другому турі. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, рідний улюблений Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

Дві бійки пізніше, in front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion Алехандро Гарсія (25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“I am boxing at 45 years old because of this great opportunity that has arisen for my son and I,” Jose explained. “Boxing on the same card with my son is going to be exciting and, even more so, because we will be a part of history! I am fortunate to be healthy, фізично, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 фунти, so far, and need to lose 12 more to make the 160-pound weight class.

 

 

 

“I am not sure how the night of the fight is going to go. I play it in my head over and over about how I would like it to go, але зрештою, I’m confident we will both be ready for tough fights because of the hard work we’re both putting in at the gym.

 

 

 

“Fan response has been good, positive and supportive of what we both are doing and attempting to accomplish. To look back at the day I was told my son was going to be born with Spina Bifida, preparing myself mentally for the worse, і зараз 25 years later here we are close to fulfilling his childhood dream. It’s amazing! I feel blessed to share this moment with my son.
