哈特福德, 康涅狄格州. (五月 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, 理查德 “大力水手曼” 里維拉, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ inaugural event, “Fight Night at the Capital”, 六月 16日 at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, 康涅狄格.
里維拉 (7-0, 6 科斯) has partnered with his trainer, 托尼·懷特, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, 邁克爾·特蘭, 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 Willie “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep 和 Christopher “Battling” Battalino.
Other top-area boxers include world champion 馬龍 “魔術師” 八哥, 世界冠軍挑戰者 Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega, 和 以色列 “寧” 卡多納, 和 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain 勞倫斯·克萊貝.
Rivera will take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-3-2, 9 科斯) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.
“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, 當然, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” 里維拉說. “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 16日 and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. 現在, 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,” 里維拉解釋. “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 “大力水手,” and the nickname has stuck. 現在, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. 六月 16日will open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
