WORCESTER, Massa. (Bulan Agustus 15, 2018) – Tiga kali, Juara dunia dua divisi “The Gallo” Jose Rivera has a new opponent for his comeback fight this Friday night in “Kepulangan”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), di The Palladium di Worcester, Massachusetts.
The 45-year-old Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Biaya), who was matched against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan, didn’t find out until yesterday (Hari Selasa) that Galvan had broken a finger the night before. Texas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” Pandai besi (10-37-1, 7 Biaya) is the late replacement for Rivera in the eight-round main event.
“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.
The name of the event is “Kepulangan” because five fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.
Super middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 Biaya) and junior middleweight Khiary Gray(15-4, 11 Biaya), 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 faces Mexican Fabian “El Lobo” Valdez (2-3) dalam acara unggulan bersama, while Gray (15-4, 11 Biaya) wajah Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 Biaya), of Brockton, MA, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.
