 “די גאַללאָ” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald
|
Worcester, מאַסע. (יולי 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “די גאַללאָ” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 צו קאָפּ “האָמעקאָמינג”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (גקפּ) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (רפּע), ביי די פּאַללאַדיום אין Worcester, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ.
The 45-year-old ריוועראַ (41-6-1, 24 קאָס) has already lost more than 30 פונט, 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 קאָס) in the eight-round main event.
אין 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (יבאָ) World welterweight title, סטאָפּפּינג Gilberto Flores אין די רגע קייַלעכיק. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, כאָומטאַון באַליבט Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (וובאַ) 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 גאַרסיאַ(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.
“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. אַ.דזש., and I talking about chasing history,” ריוועראַ דערקלערט. “We are not able to put that together right now (אַ.דזש. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17טה 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 מוסיף, “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. איך געהאַלטן ביי 49 יאר אַלט, 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 קריס (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? צי ניט, 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. רעכט איצט, 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 as a pro, 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. 17טה opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including זאַב יהודה, דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז, דזשוניער., Jorge Paez און Paul ספּאַדאַפאָראַ.
“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.
“און, אַוואַדע, 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 “האָמעקאָמינג” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.
מידדלעוועיגהט Kendrick Ball, דזשוניער. (9-1-2, 6 קאָס) and junior middleweight Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 קאָס), 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 דעמעטריוס וואָקער (8-21-2, 4 קאָס) in the co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 קאָס) פנימער Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 קאָס), of Brockton, מאַ, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.

3-צייַט, 2-division World Champion “די גאַללאָ” Jose Antonio Rivera Returns to ring for first time in 7 years on “האָמעקאָמינג” קאָרט

Worcester, מאַסע. (יולי 19, 2018) – Granite Chin Promotions (גקפּ) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment (רפּע) hosted a press conference yesterday at The Ballot Box in Worcester, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ, to make a major announcement, as well as introduce local fighters on the August 17טהpro boxing card at The Palladium in Worcester.
דריי-צייַט, צוויי-אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער “די גאַללאָ” דזשאָסע אַנטאָניאָ ריוועראַ (41-6-1, 24 קאָס) is making his return in the “Making History” הויפּט געשעעניש, in large part because he wanted to fight on the same card as his son, אַ.דזש. ריוועראַ, who was to become the first pro boxer who was born with Spina Bifida. אַ.דזש., 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, “האָמעקאָמינג”, because six of the competing fighters, including Jose Antonio Rivera, live in Worcester.
“צומ באַדויערן,” announced promoter Chuck Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with Chris Traietti, “אַ.דזש. 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. ריוועראַ דערקלערט. “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, צומ באַדויערן, 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).”
איצט 45 יאר אַלט, Rivera has already lost more than 30 פונט, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 קאָס).

Ball faces an opponent to be determined in the six-round co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 קאָס) מיץ Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 קאָס), of Brockton, מאַ, also in a six rounder.
Undefeated light heavyweight prospect ריטשארד “פּאָפּייע די סאַילאָר מענטש” ריוועראַ (8-0, 7 קאָס), fighting out of Hartford, קאָרט, is slated to fight in a six-round bout vs. טבאַ, as well as his stable mate, two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “די אויסדערוויילטע איינער” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 קאָ), who takes on his Mexican opponent, עממאַנועל “Pollo” Valadez (5-4, 4 קאָס), in a four-round match.
Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in four-round bouts are Springfield, MA welterweight Jose Angel “קאָ” Ortiz Jose Angel “קאָ” אָרטיז (4-13-1, 1 קאָ) ווס. סעט באַסלער (0-8) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta ווס.

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 (פּילקע, 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. איך בין טריינינג שווער, 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 17טה, 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. צומ באַדויערן, אַ.דזש. 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’ (פּילקע) 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 17טה at Twin River (Lincoln, רי), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17טה 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, קינג: “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 Gray: “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: “איך בין זייער יקסייטאַד. 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.”
עדווין ראָסאַדאָ: “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 & אַ.דזש. ריוועראַ “Making History” World champion’s return & son’s pro debut
|

|
(ל-ר): אַ.דזש.
Worcester, מאַסע. (יוני 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, צוויי-אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער “די גאַללאָ” דזשאָסע אַנטאָניאָ ריוועראַ and his pro-debuting son, אַ.דזש. ריוועראַ, because they will be “Making History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, ויגוסט 17 at The Palladium.
Rivera and his son, ריספּעקטיוולי, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (רפּע), which will co-promote “Making History” with Granite Chin Promotions (גקפּ).
“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, אַ.דזש. will become the first pro boxer to be born with Spina Bifida.
איצט 45 יאר אַלט, 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, “די גאַללאָ” retired from the ring in 2008, but he came back in 2011 for two fights, both victories, before hanging up his gloves again.
אין 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (יבאָ) World welterweight title, סטאָפּפּינג Gilberto Flores אין די רגע קייַלעכיק. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, כאָומטאַון באַליבט Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (וובאַ) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.
צוויי פייץ שפּעטער, in front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion Alejandro גאַרסיאַ (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, פיזיקלי, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 פונט, 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, אָבער אין די סוף, 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, און איצט 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, פריינט & 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 ריאַן “Dangerous” דייוויס (24-19, 9 קאָס), fighting out of East Saint Louis, יללינאָיס, in the eight-round main event. Davis has been in with the iron, including six-time, צוויי אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער זאַב יהודה, former International Boxing Federation (יבף) וועלט מייַסטער ישע סמיט, two-time world title challenger and 2004 US Olympian Vances Martirosyan, וועלט טיטל טשאַללענגער Jonathan Reid, reigning International Boxing Association (יבאַ) world junior middleweight champion Mark DeLuca, plus other notables such as ראָב בראַנט, Mikael Zewski, Carlos Bojorquez און 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.
אַ.דזש. 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 17טה 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, פוטבאָל, 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, אַוואַדע, workout with his father in the gym to prepare for his pro debut.
“I wasn’t able to celebrate my 25טה anniversary on June 2 יעדער,” אַ.דזש. מוסיף. “I plan to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day when I step out of the ring on August 17טה. דעמאָלט, I’ll go back to focusing on my craft and become a full-time matchmaker.”
Red-hot Richard “פּאָפּייע די סאַילאָר מענטש” ריוועראַ (8-0, 7 קאָס), fighting out of Hartford, קאָרט, will be showcased in the eight-round co-featured event. Rivera is the reigning UBF All Americans light heavyweight and ABF International cruiserweight champion.
Schedule to fight on the undercard in separate bouts are Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 קאָס), promoted by CES Boxing, דאַנבורי, CT junior welterweight אָמאַר “די חיה” Bordoy, דזשוניער. (6-0, 2 קאָס), Springfield, MA welterweight Jose Angel “קאָ” אָרטיז (4-13-1, 1 קאָ) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta, Southbridge, MA welterweight ווילפרעדאָ “די סוקאַראָ” פּייגאַן (4-0, 2 קאָס), Worcester lightweight Francisco Irizarry (4-0, 2 קאָס) and pro-debuting lightweight Eslih Owusu.

DERRY, נ.ה. (אַפּריל 8, 2018) — The official weigh in was held today for tomorrow (שבת) evening’s “Fight Night at the Zone,” presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at The Sportszone in Derry, New Hampshire.
אין די הויפּט געשעעניש, Dorchester, MA junior middleweight Gabriel Duluc (12-3, 3 קאָס) used a vicious body attack to stop veteran Texas fighter Larry “Slomoshun” סמיט אין די פינפט קייַלעכיק. A right to the liver put Smith down, but he beat the referee מייק רייאַן‘s count. Smith was unable to recover as he was pinned on the ropes by Duluc, who reeled off a dozen unanswered punches, forcing referee Ryan to end the fight.
New England’s hardest hitter is unquestionably UBF N.E. light heavyweight champion ריטשארד “פּאָפּייע די סאַילאָר מענטש” ריוועראַ (7-0, 6 קאָס), who knocked out cruiserweight ראַנדי “The Rattler” קאַמפּבעלל (3-19, 2 קאָס) with the first punch in their non-title fight, a lethal right that broke Campbell’s lower right ankle.
Flashy Worcester, MA prospect Irvin Gonzalez (9-0, 8 קאָס) overwhelmed his Mexican opponent, יינגער וועלטערווייט פֿראַנסיסקאָ “El Mono” Medel (12-13, 8 קאָס), blasting him from every angle en route to a first-round technical knockout, in which Medal went to the canvas twice.
New England cruiserweight champion Chris Traietti (26-4, 21 קאָס), also the co-promoter, pounded “Jammin” James Morrow (12-23-3, 5 קאָס) from pillar to post until referee Leo Gerstel halted the action in their non-title fight for a third-round technical knockout.

QUINCY, מאַסע. (אַפּריל 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.
גאָנזאַלעז (8-0, 7 קאָס), fighting out of Worcester, מאַ, איז אַ 2015 ניו ענגלאַנד גאָלדען גלאָוועס מייַסטער, who qualified for the 2016 אָלימפּיק טריאַלס. The 21-year-old featherweight prospect will face Mexican פֿראַנסיסקאָ “El Mono” Medal (12-12, 8 קאָס) אין אַ זעקס-קייַלעכיק באַוט.
גאָנזאַלעז, 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,” גאָנזאַלעז געזאגט. “No layoffs for me. I’ve been sparring 3-4 times a week to polish my craft. איך בין שטענדיק צוגעגרייט. 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, אַפּריל 7טה, against a tough, יקספּיריאַנסט קעגנער. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, מייַ 5טה at Foxwoods.”
The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion ריטשארד “פּאָפּייע די סאַילאָר מענטש” ריוועראַ (6-0, 5 קאָס) 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 ראַנדי “The Rattler” קאַמפּבעלל, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.
“We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns האט. “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. ערווין, 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. ”
Dorchester, MA lightweight Gabriel Duluc (11-3, 2 קאָס) headlines in the eight-round main event against Dallas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” סמיט.
Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-4, 20 קאָס), fighting out of Quincy, מאַ, meets Indiana veteran “Jammin'” James Morrow in an eight-round, non-title fight. Traietti, whose title will not be on the line, is also the co-promoter of “Fight Night at The Zone.”
