WORCESTER, Mass. (Ágúst 15, 2018) – Þriggja tíma, tveir-deild heimsmeistari “The Gallo” Jose Rivera has a new opponent for his comeback fight this Friday night in “Heimkoma”, Kynnt af Granite Chin kynningum (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), á The Palladium í Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Kos), who was matched against RubenModern Day WarriorGalvan, didn’t find out until yesterday (Þriðjudagur) that Galvan had broken a finger the night before.

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 “Heimkoma” because five fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

Ball faces Mexican FabianEl LoboValdez (2-3) in the co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 Kos) andlit Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 Kos), of Brockton, MA, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.
