Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas on special mission to become heavyweight & bridgerweight World ChampionImportant announcement

Cathair Québec, Ontario, Canada (Márta 24, 2021) – Fresh off his recent third-round stoppage of Sylvera “Sly” Louis i n-rematch, Comhairle Dornálaíochta an Domhain (WBC) Ná Gan. 1 rated bridgerweight Oscar "Kaboom" Rivas (27-1, 19 Kos) is on a special mission to not only become the first bridgerweight world champion but capture the world heavyweight crown as well.

A 2008 Olympian Colóime, Rivas is currently rated as the WBC’s No. 1-rated contender in the bridgerweight division (-224 lb..), agus Uimh. 9 in The Ring magazine’s heavyweight rankings.

Prior to his rematch with Louis, Rivas hadn’t fought in 20 months due mainly to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Never-the-less, “Kaboom” remained professional, training throughout his ring absence, and now he’s positioned to fight for the inaugural WBC bridgerweight title.

“I love this sport,” Rivas said from his Montreal home. I dedicate my life to boxing. I never stopped training because I love it and I can’t live without it. I am an athlete! The pandemic didn’t make things easy for me or anybody else, especially for a natural heavyweight like me.

“In the ring, I am having fun, and that’s what drives me. After I was able to knockdown my opponent (Louis) sa chéad bhabhta, my coach asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to box because I hadn’t fought in 20 mhí. I hadn’t stepped in the ring and that’s what I enjoy every minute of.”

Even though he’s on the precipice of winning his first world title, as a bridgerweight fighter, Rivas will not be fully satisfied without becoming a 2-division world champion.

“I want to be the bridgerweight and heavyweight World champion without a doubt,” he explained. “My mission is timeless. For some reason, the big boys in the heavyweight division don’t want to fight me. There would have been good reasons for Dillian Whyte to give me a rematch, to clear any doubts! I love Tyson Fury but when he was looking for a dance partner last December, my name was dropped first even though we had the same promoter. I can only assume that they consider I am too dangerous for them. By becoming the WBC bridgerweight World champion, I assume that those big boys will be more intrigued to fight me, agus ní féidir liom fanacht. Anois, more than ever.

“I am a heavyweight and I always tried to stay under 235 pounds throughout my career to exploit my speed, so the bridgerweight class became a natural fit for me. Anois, I am aiming to become champion of the world in two divisions. Bring them all on!"

Rivas’ most likely will know who his opponent will be for the WBC bridgerweight title fight in June in the coming days. The names often mentioned are No. 3 rátáil Bryant Jennings(24-4, 14 Kos), 2-time world heavyweight title challenger, or built-up South African cruiserweight, Ná Gan. 2 rangaithe Kevin Larena (26-1, 13 Kos).

“My team has been working very hard during this unbelievable time (pandemic) to organize a significant fight for me.” Rivas noted. “I just can’t wait to step back into the ring with anybody.”

Rivas still has unfinished business with Whyte, who is the only pro to defeat Rivas, albeit under questionable circumstances. Lúnasa seo caite, Whyte won a 12-round unanimous decision, after been knockdown with an uppercut in the 9ú bhabhta, in their vacant WBC Interim heavyweight title fight, but prior to their fight, unbeknownst to Team Rivas, Whyte had apparently tested positive for a banned substance during training camp. A UK Anti-Doping investigation somehow later cleared Whyte of any wrongdoings.

Lúnasa seo caite, Whyte was knocked out in the fifth round by Alexander Povetkin in their WBC Interim title fight and Povetkin will defend his title this weekend in Gibraltar versus Whyte.

Oscar Rivas can’t wait to let his fists go “Kaboom” on his next opponent, whomever and whenever that is, as he continues his special mission.

Eleider Alvarez
Cuirfidh Alvarez a sheasamh dúshlánach éigeantach WBC chun cinn Vernalis“Superman” Stevenson (28-1, 23 Kos) i mbaol agus dáta deiridh mhí Aibreáin don troid teidil dhomhanda seo curtha in áirithe cheana féin.
Tá a sprioc leagtha síos ag Bute freisin chun dúshlán Stevenson a thabhairt. Tá sé beartaithe ag an veteran southpaw a thaispeáint go soiléir go bhfuil lámhaigh teidil wotld eile tuillte aige, ag glacadh leis an Uimh. 1 conternder in Alvarez gan chosaint. Cibé toradh deiridh a bheidh ann, beidh an buaiteoir ar an iomaitheoir is mó éilimh agus dlisteanaí do Stevenson, spéis agus droch-mheas de thaispeántas craobhchomórtais dhomhanda Québécois atá ag méadú go mór.
Bailítear na comhábhair go léir chun spéis an phobail sa troid seo a mhéadú, a bheidh ar cheann de na cinn is suntasaí i stair Québec.
Is achrann áitiúil é idir beirt lúthchleasaithe a roghnaigh Québec mar a dteach uchtaithe, lánpháirtiú go hiomlán i gcultúr na loal agus foghlaim na Fraincise, chomh maith leis an áit ar throid siad formhór mór a gcuid babhtaí. Beidh iarmhairtí ollmhóra ag an toradh ar an gclais mhór seo ar an leibhéal idirnáisiúnta sa rannán trom-mheáchain éadrom.
I gcúinne amháin tá iar-churadh domhanda Bhòid, a rinne go leor léirithe inspioráideacha le linn a chuid 13 troideanna craobhchomórtais dhomhanda (10-2-1, 8 Kos) le bheith i do réalta iontach agus mar dhuine mór le rá i Québec.
Faigheann an choirnéal eile Alvarez gan bhéim, trodaire den chéad scoth le trí bliana anuas a rinne a chuid léirithe is iontach thar lear, cé gur faoi scáth réaltaí móra eile Québec den chuid is mó. Tá iar-Oilimpeach na Colóime ag iarraidh a fhíorluach a bhunú tar éis dó ullmhú do Stevenson trí throid in aghaidh comhraic ar feadh níos mó ná an bhliain seo caite. Tuillfidh sé a sparán is airde, atá cosúil leis an méid a gheobhadh sé chun Stevenson a throid ar dtús.

“Bhí na sé mhí dheireanacha deacair dom,” Mhínigh Bute. “Tar éis socrú staid Washington, Bhí mé sásta suí síos faoi dheireadh agus mo chéad troid eile a phlé. Ghlac mé leis a luaithe a tairgeadh an troid dom. Táimid ag caint faoi fhear rangaithe gan uimhir rangaithe 1 ag an WBC. Is dúshlán mór é. Tugaim mo hata do Alvarez as a sheasamh a chur i mbaol.
“Bhí mé ag súil le buaiteoir an troid teidil aontaithe idir James Dégale agus Badou Jack, ach ní raibh aon ráthaíochtaí agam agus ní raibh mé in ann fanacht. Is é an aidhm atá agam troid arís ar son craobh domhanda, cibé an bhfuil sé ag 168 nó 175 punt, agus níor theastaigh uaim ach troid ullmhúcháin gan brí a dhéanamh.
“Tar éis na roghanna go léir a mheas, tháinig muid ar an tátal go raibh orainn an troid seo a dhéanamh,” Alvarez’ ceann oiliúnóir Marc Ramsey dúirt. “Ar ndóigh, tá rioscaí ann … ach is fiú é. Is fada ó bhí Eleider ag fanacht le deis chun bosca a dhéanamh i gcoinne duine atá aitheanta i Québec, agus ní fhaca daoine a lánacmhainneacht go fóill. Bhí aoibh an gháire air go léir nuair a fuair sé an tairiscint.”.
“Nuair a ghlaoigh Marc orm isteach ina oifig,” Dúirt Alvarez, “Bhí mé ag fiafraí cad a bhí ar siúl. Go ginearálta, nuair a ghlaonn sé orm isteach ina oifig, ní dea-scéal é. D'iarr sé orm suí síos agus an raibh mé ag iarraidh aghaidh a thabhairt ar Bhòid. Rinne mé aoibh agus dúirt mé, yes. Is é an dornálaí is mó éilimh i Québec, mar sin beidh mo spreagadh difriúil. Táim á dhéanamh seo dom féin agus do mo theaghlach. Ba mhaith liom a bheith mar churadh domhanda agus anois tá sé ag dul trí Lucian. Táim ag lorg tamall fada le troid mhór mar seo agus den chéad uair beidh mé mar cheannlíne.”

MONTREAL (Meitheamh 4) – As the world mourns the loss of Muhammad Ali, Dé Sathairn night’s Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on ESPN and ESPN Deportes telecast began with aCeremonial 10-Countin memory of “An mó” and continued to pay tribute to him throughout the telecast that was headlined by a light heavyweight bout between hard-hitting Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev against Argentina’s Ezequiel Maderna.
The 31-year-old Beterbiev (10-0, 10 Kos), who fights out of Montreal, returned to the ring after an almost year-long layoff following shoulder surgery. Now seven months removed from the procedure, Beterbiev looked sharp from the opening bell as he threw straight right hands and body shots effectively to start the fight.
Maderna, who was also coming off of a long layoff, was hoping to make a statement in his first fight on North American soil as he moved up in weight for this bout.
