ฮาร์ตฟอร์ด, เรือ. (พฤษภาคม 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, ริชาร์ด “ป๊อปอายเซเลอร์ชาย” ริเวร่า, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (Ubf) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ เหตุการณ์การสถาปนา, “Fight Night at the Capital”, มิถุนายน 16th at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, คอนเนตทิคั.
ริเวร่า (7-0, 6 คอส) has partnered with his trainer, โทนี่สีขาว, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, ไมเคิลทราน, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.
Boxing’s rich roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, headlined by International Hall of Famers วิลลี่ “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep และ Christopher “Battling” Battalino.
Other top-area boxers include world champion มาร์ลอน “เวทมนตร์ชาย” Starling, ท้าทายโลกชื่อ Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega, และ อิสราเอล “ค่อนข้าง” โดนา, และ 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain ดินอเรนซ์เบย์.
Rivera will take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-3-2, 9 คอส) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.
“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, แน่นอน, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” ริเวร่ากล่าว. “I’m all about boxing. My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16th and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. ตอนนี้, 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,” ริเวร่าอธิบาย. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”
Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “ป๊อปอาย,” and the nickname has stuck. ตอนนี้, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. มิถุนายน 16thwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
