ਫਾਏਟਤੇਵੀਲੇ, ਮਾਸ. (ਜੁਲਾਈ 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 ਲਾਈਨ ਤੱਕ “Homecoming”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (ਵਾੲਿਰਲੈਸ), ਫਾਏਟਤੇਵੀਲੇ ਵਿੱਚ Palladium 'ਤੇ, ਮੈਸੇਚਿਉਸੇਟਸ.
The 45-year-old Rivera (41-6-1, 24 ਕੋਸ) has already lost more than 30 ਗੁਣਾ, 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 ਕੋਸ) in the eight-round main event.
ਵਿੱਚ 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ Gilberto Flores ਦੂਜੇ ਗੇੜ ਵਿਚ. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, ਜੱਦੀ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਪਸੰਦੀਦਾ 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 Alejandro ਗਾਰਸੀਆ(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.
“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. A.J., and I talking about chasing history,” Rivera ਸਮਝਾਇਆ. “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. 17th 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.”
Granite Chin Promotions’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns ਸ਼ਾਮਿਲ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, “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. ਮੈਨੂੰ 'ਤੇ ਲੜਿਆ 49 ਪੁਰਾਣੇ ਸਾਲ, 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 ਕ੍ਰਿਸ (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? ਨਾਂ ਕਰੋ, 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 years later. 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. ਹੁਣ ਸੱਜੇ, 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 ਇੱਕ ਪੱਖੀ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ, 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. 17th opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Zab ਯਹੂਦਾਹ, Julio Cesar ਸ਼ਾਵੇਜ਼, ਜੂਨੀਅਰ., Jorge Paez ਅਤੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਨੂੰ Spadafora.
“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.
“ਅਤੇ, ਜ਼ਰੂਰ, 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 “Homecoming” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.
ਮਿਡਲਵੇਟ Kendrick Ball, ਜੂਨੀਅਰ. (9-1-2, 6 ਕੋਸ) and junior middleweight Khiary ਸਲੇਟੀ (15-4, 11 ਕੋਸ), 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. Ball meets ਦੇਮੇਤ੍ਰਿਯੁਸ ਵਾਕਰ (8-21-2, 4 ਕੋਸ) in the co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 ਕੋਸ) ਚਿਹਰੇ Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 ਕੋਸ), of Brockton, ਐਮ, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.

3-ਵਾਰ, 2-division World Champion “Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera Returns to ring for first time in 7 years on “Homecoming” ਕਾਰਡ

ਫਾਏਟਤੇਵੀਲੇ, ਮਾਸ. (ਜੁਲਾਈ 19, 2018) – Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment (ਵਾੲਿਰਲੈਸ) hosted a press conference yesterday at The Ballot Box in Worcester, ਮੈਸੇਚਿਉਸੇਟਸ, to make a major announcement, as well as introduce local fighters on the August 17thpro boxing card at The Palladium in Worcester.
ਤਿੰਨ-ਵਾਰ, ਦੋ-ਡਿਵੀਜ਼ਨ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਜੇਤੂ “Gallo” ਜੋਸੇ Antonio Rivera (41-6-1, 24 ਕੋਸ) is making his return in the “Making History” ਮੁੱਖ ਘਟਨਾ, in large part because he wanted to fight on the same card as his son, A.J. Rivera, who was to become the first pro boxer who was born with Spina Bifida. A.J., 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, “Homecoming”, because six of the competing fighters, including Jose Antonio Rivera, live in Worcester.
“ਬਦਕਿਸਮਤੀ,” announced promoter Chuck Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with Chris Traietti, “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. Rivera ਸਮਝਾਇਆ. “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, ਬਦਕਿਸਮਤੀ, 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).”
ਹੁਣ 45 ਪੁਰਾਣੇ ਸਾਲ, Rivera has already lost more than 30 ਗੁਣਾ, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 ਕੋਸ).

ਪ੍ਰੈਸ ਕਾਨਫਰੰਸ ਦਾ ਹਵਾਲਾ
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 (ਬਾਲ, 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. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਹਾਰਡ ਸਿਖਲਾਈ ਦੇ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ, 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 17th, 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. ਬਦਕਿਸਮਤੀ, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”
Jimmy Burchfield (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (ਬਾਲ) 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 17th at Twin River (Lincoln, RI), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17th 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, ਜੂਨੀਅਰ: “I want to thank my promoter, Jimmy Burchfield, 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 ਸਲੇਟੀ: “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: “ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਖੁਸ਼ ਰਿਹਾ. 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.”
ਐਡਵਿਨ Rosado: “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.”

Father-son Jose Antonio & A.J. Rivera “Making History” World champion’s return & son’s pro debut
|
||||
|
(L-R): A.J.
ਫਾਏਟਤੇਵੀਲੇ, ਮਾਸ. (ਜੂਨ 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, ਦੋ-ਡਿਵੀਜ਼ਨ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਜੇਤੂ “Gallo” ਜੋਸੇ Antonio Rivera and his pro-debuting son, A.J. Rivera, because they will be “Making History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, ਅਗਸਤ 17 at The Palladium.
Rivera and his son, ਕ੍ਰਮਵਾਰ, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (ਵਾੲਿਰਲੈਸ), 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.
ਹੁਣ 45 ਪੁਰਾਣੇ ਸਾਲ, 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.
ਵਿੱਚ 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ Gilberto Flores ਦੂਜੇ ਗੇੜ ਵਿਚ. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, ਜੱਦੀ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਪਸੰਦੀਦਾ 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.
ਦੋ ਝਗੜੇ ਨੂੰ ਬਾਅਦ, in front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion Alejandro ਗਾਰਸੀਆ (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, ਸਰੀਰਕ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 ਗੁਣਾ, 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, ਪਰ ਅੰਤ ਵਿਚ, 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, ਅਤੇ ਹੁਣ 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. I am also happy that we can do this in front of our family, ਦੋਸਤ & fans in our City of Worcester, where my son was born, and I was raised since I moved there when I was 16.”
On Aug. 17, Rivera will face battle-tested middleweight ਰਿਆਨ “Dangerous” ਡੇਵਿਸ (24-19, 9 ਕੋਸ), fighting out of East Saint Louis, Illinois, in the eight-round main event. Davis has been in with the iron, including six-time, ਦੋ ਡਿਵੀਜ਼ਨ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਜੇਤੂ Zab ਯਹੂਦਾਹ, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) ਸੰਸਾਰ ਜੇਤੂ Ishe ਸਮਿਥ, two-time world title challenger and 2004 US Olympian Vances Martirosyan, ਸੰਸਾਰ ਦਾ ਸਿਰਲੇਖ challenger Jonathan Reid, reigning International Boxing Association (IBA) world junior middleweight champion Mark DeLuca, plus other notables such as ਰੌਬ Brant, Mikael Zewski, Carlos Bojorquez ਅਤੇ Dominik Britsch.
Twenty-five-year-old A.J. will fight an opponent to be determined in a four-round welterweight match. He is a graduate of Johnson & Wales with a major in sports management, who has quickly become one of the most respected matchmakers in New England.
A.J. grew-up in a gym, watching his father train, and he also fought as an amateur boxer. “I’ve always wanted to fight as a pro and what better way than to make my pro debut on the same card headlined by my pops,” Rivera said. “This is a one and done, I’m not going to box as a career and, hopefully I will leave the ring on August 17th and retire undefeated. I plan to make matchmaking a career. I can stay in the sport I’ve always loved and matchmake for our company and for other promoters.
“I was born with Spina Bifida. A layer of skin covered a hole in my back, preventing water from getting in, which would have damaged my system and left me paralyzed, unable to speak and with a shunt in my head to drain fluid. The doctors told my parents that, if I survived, I’d only live to be 19, in a wheelchair and a little autistic. I had surgery the next day and my pops kept hope. As I got older, I played basketball, ਫੁੱਟਬਾਲ, baseball and boxed. I was inactive for seven years when I went away to school and started matchmaking.”
In addition to sacrificing to make weight, instead of having a Father’s Day cookout, he watched what he ate and, ਜ਼ਰੂਰ, workout with his father in the gym to prepare for his pro debut.
“I wasn’t able to celebrate my 25th anniversary on June 2 ਕੋਈ,” A.J. ਸ਼ਾਮਿਲ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ. “I plan to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day when I step out of the ring on August 17th. ਫਿਰ, I’ll go back to focusing on my craft and become a full-time matchmaker.”
Red-hot Richard “Popeye The Sailor ਮਨੁੱਖ” Rivera (8-0, 7 ਕੋਸ), fighting out of Hartford, CT, will be showcased in the eight-round co-featured event. Rivera is the reigning UBF All Americans light heavyweight and ABF International cruiserweight champion.

QUINCY, ਮਾਸ. (ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’s “Fight Night at The Zone”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, has been strengthened by the late addition of hot prospect Irvin Gonzalez to a card already showcasing some of the best young, professional boxers in New England.
Granite Chin Promotions is on a mission to establish a fan-base in the Granite State, providing a fan friendly, full entertainment experience at The Sports Zone in Derry, New Hampshire.
Gonzalez (8-0, 7 ਕੋਸ), fighting out of Worcester, ਐਮ, ਸੀ 2015 New England ਗੋਲਡਨ ਦਸਤਾਨੇ ਜੇਤੂ, who qualified for the 2016 ਓਲੰਪਿਕ ਸਹਾਰਾ. The 21-year-old featherweight prospect will face Mexican ਫ੍ਰੈਨਸਿਸਕੋ “El Mono” Medal (12-12, 8 ਕੋਸ) ਛੇ-ਦੌਰ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ ਵਿਚ.
Gonzalez, who hasn’t fought since December 1 1 (sensational third-round knockout of previously undefeated 13-0 Marlon Olea in Providence), was supposed to fight St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, but he was informed the day of the weigh in that his opponent hadn’t cleared medicals.
I’m always in the gym working hard because I like to stay busy and be ready,” Gonzalez ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ. “No layoffs for me. I’ve been sparring 3-4 times a week to polish my craft. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਤਿਆਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ. I was disappointed a few weeks ago, but I’m fighting on this card, and back on the right track.
“I only focus on my next fight, ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 7th, against a tough, ਤਜਰਬੇਕਾਰ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, ਮਈ 5th at Foxwoods.”
The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion ਰਿਚਰਡ “Popeye The Sailor ਮਨੁੱਖ” Rivera (6-0, 5 ਕੋਸ) means two of the top three prospects in New England will be in action this Saturday in Derry. And several other promising boxers will also be in action. Rivera faces Randy “The Rattler” Campbell, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.
“We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ. “His last fight fell out and we are always happy to help local fighters, especially someone of Irvin’s caliber. We have five undefeated fighters on this show. They’re legitimate prospects with a lot of upside. Irvin, Richie and Omar are starting to get national attention and New Hampshire fans are getting an early look at them. The veteran fighters on this show have a lot to fight for as well. ”
