Вустер, Маса. (Кастрычнік 2, 2017) – Local prospect Бобі “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, пачатак Субота ноч, Кастрычнік 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Будучыня Новай Англіі”, у DCU Цэнтр (Exhibition Hall) у Вустере, Масачусэтс.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЭ), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, два чэмпіёна свету Хасэ Антоніо Рывера і яго сын, Anthonee (Эй-Джэй) Рывэра.
“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” узыходзячая перспектыва, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Часам, хоць, 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. дабаўленай. “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 ў ЗША, і Няма. 2 у свеце.
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. Рывэра, plus his head trainer, Рокі Гансалес. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz і Ірвін Гансалес 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 КО) pro record between 1993 і 1999. Сёння, 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, у кольцы, але, 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 (Оскар) Дэ Ла Хойя, (Shane) Mosley, (Эвандэр) Холіфілд and so many other great fighters. We are different, хоць. 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. Зараз, 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 (у першай сярэдняй. 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, занадта. 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) Хасэ, 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, Эй-Джэй, and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Вустер – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Чэрвеня 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, Радрыга Алмейда, 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 ‘Цукар’ Рэй (Леанард). 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. 28й fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” мастак (3-7-1, 2 КО), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, in a four-round bout.
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 КО), fighting out of Pembroke (Масачусэтс), will face an opponent to be determined in the eight-round main event.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Гаўрыіл “Napao” Gonzaga will make his pro boxing debut in a four-round match against Washington D.C. цяжкавагавік Аландо П'ю (1-10-1, 1 KO).

Here is what Erislandy Lara, Jermell Charlo and Jermall Charlo and had to say Пятніца:
Эрисланди Лара
“When they asked me if I was available to come to the Houston Food Bank to volunteer, I didn’t even hesitate. I was in. No matter how busy I am with training camp, I always have time to help for a good cause.
“Houston has suffered with Hurricane Harvey. I’ve seen the devastation. Coming to the Food Bank with my wife today is my little grain of sand to help a bigger cause. I come from Cuba, an island that it’s often battered by storms. I’ve seen people lose a lot to Mother Nature. I feel for them.
“I don’t think my preparation for this fight has been affected by what happened here in Houston [Hurricane Harvey]. I have endured so much in my life. I had to escape from my homeland to pursue my dream of becoming a professional boxer. I defied the odds and I became a world champion. I got here with hard work and discipline. I’m focused. Nothing distracts me.
“Gausha is a good fighter, but he doesn’t know what he signed up for. I’m not a brawler, Я сапраўдны баец– a technical boxer. I went toe-to-toe with some of the best fighters in the division. He’s in for treat.”
Jermell Charlo
“I didn’t get a chance to really see my house [during Hurricane Harvey] because I’ve been gone. I’ve been in Dallas training with Эррол Спенс малодшы. and my trainer Дэрык Джэймс. My uncle wouldn’t tell me anything that’s going on in my gym. Everybody basically was like ‘don’t worry about what’s going on.’ I’m trying to keep my mind off of it. I’m back home, everything is good and that’s all that matters right now.
“Erickson Lubin is a crafty young fighter. He’s strong. He’s got some skills. He’s got pop. We’re just going to have to dog it out. Best man wins. Whoever’s in the best shape, whoever’s the strongest fighter, whoever lands the best punches is going to win the fight.
“I’m a vet. I’ve been in the game professionally ten years. I grew up in the amateurs. I’ve got the height, I’ve got the size, I’m stronger, I’m faster.
“I’ve fought three southpaws. I’ve knocked them all out. I’ve knocked every southpaw I’ve fought out.
“Errol Spence Jr. is the perfect sparring partner. He’s been one of the best sparring partners that I’ve had even when I’m fighting right-handers because of his dominance. He’s very strong, he’s fast and he’s punching.
“I’ve got Houston on my back right now – me and my twin brother. If there were more fighters in Houston, we would be a bigger team. We do what we can to try to get boxing back into this city.
“Why not get a big fight? I’ve fought 29 баі. I’ve fought a lot of prospects. My career has been built up. I beat Olympians. What else do you want me to do? Now it’s time to beat the [Мігель] Cottos and the Canelos [Альварэс] and the Triple G’s [Генадзь Галоўкін] and whoever else we’ve got to jump in the ring with.
“I’m satisfied with [трэнер] Дэрык Джэймс. I actually like the fact that I have to leave to go to a different city to train because I can focus over there. I’m sitting in a home where I just train. I wake up, eat protein, back to training again and then rest. My focus is there.”
Чарлі JERMALL
“I told my brother that this fight is equivalent to when I fought J-Rock [Джуліян Уільямс]. A lot of people are going to doubt him but at the end of the day they’re going to be in his corner cheering him on for the victory.
“I told Jermell to continue to work hard and keep striving because it’s going to build our legacy to that next level. It’s going to put us where we need to be to get the best opponents and the biggest fights.
“I’m in camp with Ronnie Shields. We’re getting in shape. I’ve been training so I’m just waiting on the next date, the next fight. We’ll see what happens.”
