WORCESTER, Hmota. (Srpen 15, 2018) – Three-time, dvě divize mistr světa “Gallo” Jose Rivera has a new opponent for his comeback fight this Friday night in “Návrat domů”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), The Palladium ve Worcesteru, Massachusetts.

“I am not a fan of late changes,” Rivera said, “but at this point it’s either that or no fight, and I’ve trained too hard not to fight.”
Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut.
