Worcester’s boxing tradition started close to a century ago with Canadian import Lou Brouillard, a two-division world champion and Hall of Famer, 1928 Olympic bronze medalist Leo Sawicki, and more recently, অন্যদের মধ্যে, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Sean “The Irish Express” শন ফিট্জগেরাল্ড এবং এডুইন রদ্রিগেজ.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, দুই বিভাগ দুনিয়া রক্ষক Jose Antonio “Gallo” রিভেরা, who is promoting “নিউ ইংল্যান্ড এর ভবিষ্যত” with his son, Anthonee. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” রিভেরা বলেন. “I am very proud of him because he was able to discover on his own that he was getting in his own way. He was always a talented fighter but, at times in the ring, he was inconsistent and it cost him a few fights. As he got older, he boxed more talented boxers and looked good against them. He started believing in himself more and it showed in his training. His abilities and confidence grew and that got him all the way to the Olympic Trials. I feel he has the skills to become world champion in the future. The sky is the limit for this young man and I am proud to have him fighting on our show.”
Gonzalez, একটি 2015 নিউ ইংল্যান্ড গোল্ডেন গ্লাভস চ্যাম্পিয়ন, will be headlining his first show in his first scheduled six-round bout. “Fighting in my hometown in the main event means a lot to me because,” Gonzalez admitted. “I’ve grown up in this city, fighting my whole life, and of people who’ve supported me will be watching me fight for the first time as a pro. আমি উত্তেজিত. I’m comfortable fighting here in Worcester and I want to showcase the boxing talent we have in Worcester.”
Gonzalez qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials but he was eliminated, not due to a loss in the ring, for missing weight. He decided not to wait four years for another Olympic shot, turning pro this past March with a first-round stoppage of গিলভান সান্তোস at Foxwoods Resort Casino. In four pro fights to date, Gonzalez has four knockouts and only one was extended into the second round.
“I was always told that I had a pro boxing style,” the well-spoken, handsome Gonzalez continued, “but we didn’t immediately decide to turn pro until the time was right. I had some stoppages as an amateur but, একটি PRO হিসাবে, I’ve been going more to the body. I do have heavy hands. I don’t go into a fight looking for a knockout. I just let ’em come but I’ve prepared to go six rounds if needed for this fight. I’ve been sparring eight rounds with different guys coming in fresh.”
In addition to being a prize fighter, the 20-year-old Gonzalez works at a bank and he also owns and operates New England Boxing gym with his father, former boxer ইরভিন গঞ্জালেজ, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.
