LOS ANGELES (Junho 28, 2021) – Undefeated former WBO Super Middleweight Champion and Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs), currently a highly ranked light heavyweight contender, will have a lot on the line July 9th against world light heavyweight title challenger Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), including world title fight implications and, ultimately, his boxing legacy,

Zurdo vs. Barrera, apresentado por Golden Boy Promotions, will be streamed exclusively on DAZN, live from Banc of California Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Football Club (pro soccer), located in downtown Los Angeles.

To get a world light heavyweight title shot against any of the reigning champions – WBC & IBF Artur Beterbiev (16-0 (16 KOs), WBA Super Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs) or WBO Joe Smith (27-3, 21 KOs) – Barrera stands in Ramirez’ way in the 12-round Zurdo vs. Barrera evento principal. Ramirez is ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO, bem como n. 5 pelo IBF.

“That’s what the fans want but I’m not sure if these fighters are ready for me,” Ramirez boldly said about Beterbiev, Bivol and Smith. “I wasn’t impressed by any of the three in their recent bouts. They can run as much as they want, but they can’t hide forever. I know I’m the best in the division and, sooner or later, I will be snatching each of the belts and taking their souls one by one.”

Ramirez, que recentemente virou 30 (Junho 19), was the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight title, which he relinquished in 2019 to move up to the light heavyweight division, in which he is 2-0 (2 KOs) tendo derrotado Tommy Karpency(29-6-1) e Alphonso Lopez (32-3) last December to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) coroa.

A decorated Cuban amateur boxer (285-27 registro), 39-year-old Barrera defeated future pro world champions such as Chad Dawson,
Shumenov Beibu e Mariano Natalio Carrera prior to defecting from Cuba to Miami and turning pro.

Barrera, fighting out of Cuba by way of Miami, é 3-3 vs. past or present world champions with victories against Jeff Lacy (WTKO4), Karo Murat (WKO12) eFelix Valera (WDEC10), losing to Bivoeu (TKO12), Ferreiro (DEC10), and Hall of FamerAndre Ward (Dezembro 12).

“I always expect the best from my opponents,” Ramírez observou. “Barrera is a professional and I know he will be ready when the lights are on. He displayed that he’s a strong fighter when he beat and broke Joe Smith, Jr.’s jaw in their bout. A victory for Barrera can resurge his career and alter my path; assim, I prepare for the best version of Barrera, and I will not let anything deter my goals.

“I’ve been working hard. There’s new stuff I’ve been fine tuning and I can’t wait to showcase it July 9th. Come fight night, I know all my hard work will pay off.”

CITAÇÕES CONFERÊNCIA DE IMPRENSA
Jose Rivera, CEO RPE: “Estou animado porque uma coletiva de imprensa significa que as lutas estão cada vez mais próximas. Planejamos construir nossa empresa promocional este ano. Há muito talento na Nova Inglaterra e é por isso que temos tantos lutadores de Connecticut neste card. Quero que os lutadores aqui entendam a importância de uma entrevista coletiva. Eles ganharão uma experiência valiosa falando em público e sendo entrevistados pela mídia. Um dos principais motivos pelos quais estamos promovendo é dar aos jovens lutadores uma plataforma para boxear e prepará-los para suas carreiras profissionais.”
A.J. Rivera, Presidente / Matchmaker RPE: “O apoio que recebemos foi tremendo e superamos as expectativas em nosso primeiro ano. Este é apenas o começo para RPE. Vamos melhorar este ano. Não estamos satisfeitos apenas em ser uma pequena empresa promocional. O boxe é o esporte mais solitário do mundo e esses boxeadores precisam de fãs’ Apoio, suporte. Há muito talento na Nova Inglaterra e grande parte dele está concentrado em Connecticut. Temos mais lutadores de Connecticut neste cartão do que lutadores de Massachusetts.”
Richard Rivera: “Esta é uma grande oportunidade para mim. Rivera Promotions conquistou muito em seu primeiro ano. Eu lutei duas vezes no co-main de dois shows RPE anteriores em que lutei. Este vai ser um show incrível, não apenas o evento principal. Existem boxeadores competitivos para cima e para baixo no cartão. Não pisque, não vá ao banheiro porque qualquer uma dessas brigas pode terminar a qualquer momento.”
“Este é um grande passo para minha carreira. Boxe é minha paixão. Nós dois estamos vindo para lutar. Ganhar, perder ou empatar, veremos quem é o cão Alfa no final. “Eu sou ‘Popeye The Sailor Man’, e estou bom até o fim porque como meu espinafre.”
Kevin Cobbs: “Eu respeito Rivera e acredito no que ouço. Ele parece ser um cara bom. Estou animado com essa luta. Muitas pessoas não tinham certeza sobre o que eu estava fazendo porque eu não tinha lutado daqui a dois anos quando recebi a ligação (lutar contra Rivera). O boxe me tirou do espaço estava dentro e eu nunca parei de boxe. Este vai ser um grande ano para os Rivera. Eu gosto de mudar e estou pronto para ir.”
Bobby Harris, III: “Meu oponente quer redimir a perda de seu irmão para mim. Quero agradecer a RPE por me colocar no co-recurso em apenas minha terceira luta profissional. Minhas duas primeiras lutas foram uma experiência de aprendizado e nessa luta eu procuro fazer uma declaração para mostrar meus talentos. Tenho muito a provar como o único lutador de Worcester neste card.”
Omar Bordoy, Jr: “Estou lutando contra um adversário difícil. Lutar é mais fácil para mim do que falar aqui. Eu estou lutando com um cara de Hartford. Eu tenho muito amor por seu treinador e Hartford. Quero minha mão levantada no final da luta.”
Derrick Whitley: “Quero agradecer à Rivera Promotions por me colocar neste cartão. Eu lutei em dois shows deles ano passado e saí 2-0. Estou procurando ser 3-0. Foi uma experiência de aprendizado, de amadores a profissionais. O objetivo de todos é elevar seu nível. Estou na melhor forma da minha vida para essa luta e fazendo coisas na academia que nunca fiz antes. Estou procurando uma parada.”
Wilfredo Pagan: “Eu sou 37 anos de idade e sempre tive o prazer de lutar pelo menos uma luta profissional. Algumas lutas falharam, mas os Riveras abriram as portas para mim. Eu coloquei tudo nas minhas lutas. Eu estava procurando por uma luta e esta será minha quarta. Eu vou ser 4-0.”

WORCESTER, Massa. (Janeiro 8, 2018) – Um dos mais populares perspectivas de boxe da Nova Inglaterra, invicto Hartford (CT) meio-pesados Richard “Popeye o marinheiro” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs), vontade manchete seu terceiro show Sábado noite, Fevereiro 10, no paládio em Worcester, Massachusetts.
Na quinta parcela do “Futuro da Nova Inglaterra” série, apresentado por Rivera Promoções Entretenimento (RPE), a 27-year-old Rivera atenda Kevin “Kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), lutando fora de Burlington (VT), para a vaga Federação Universal Boxing (UBF) título de New England no evento principal oito-redonda.
Rivera, que era um 2016 campeão Rocky Marciano Torneio, está saindo de uma segunda rodada nocaute sensacional de veterano 146-luta Roberto Valenzuela em dezembro passado 9 em Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Estou animado para ter Richie boxe para o título UBF New England tão cedo em sua carreira profissional,”” o referido promotor Jose Antonio Rivera, o retirou-3 hora, 2-divisão campeão mundial. “Esta é a terceira vez que já teve o privilégio de ele lutando em um de nossos cartões. Ele lutou no evento principal do nosso último show (Outubro) no Centro DCU. Rivera parece melhor e mais penetrante cada vez que eu vê-lo lutar. Vejo grandes coisas vindo por ele. Ele tem as ferramentas e disciplina um treinador procura e um boxeador precisa de se tornar campeão do mundo. O céu é o limite para Richard e, por enquanto, nós somos gratos para jogar uma pequena parte para ajudar a desenvolver sua carreira profissional.”
Rivera tem comercializado com sucesso seu persona Popeye durante sua jovem carreira no boxe profissional, vestindo um boné de marinheiro para o ringue com uma oscilação tubo Popeye-like tradicional na boca. “Há várias razões para o meu apelido, ‘Popeye’, mas quando eu era muito jovem,” Rivera explicou, “Eu tinha anormalmente grandes antebraços. Ele só ficou comigo ao longo dos anos, quando as pessoas se referiu a mim no ginásio, então eu correr com ele. Eu estou trazendo a vida de volta para Hartford com paciência, toda a Nova Inglaterra, com paciência, perseverança e estilo. Eu vivo no momento.”
Embora ele não ganhar muitos prêmios importantes ou torneios como um pugilista amador, Rivera ganhou experiência inestimável boxe muitos dos melhores amadores na Nova Inglaterra e em eventos nacionais, bem como sparring com os gostos de ex-campeões mundiais Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin, Chad Dawson e Joe Smith, Jr. Ele também aprendeu com o tempo gasto no ringue com os ex-adversários título Israel “mais” Cardona e John Scully.
“Eu tomei meu tempo de se tornar profissional, porque eu não tinha um sistema de apoio para me levar para o próximo nível,” Rivera observou. “Eu estava inseguro. O feedback positivo que recebi de lutadores que eu brigaram alimentado em minha confiança. Agora, em apenas minha sexta luta profissional, I será a atração principal pela terceira vez, e lutando pelo meu primeiro título. Eu não posso agradecer os Riveras (José e seu filho, A.J.) o suficiente para o que eles fizeram para mim. Eles acreditaram em mim.”
No início, Rivera foi um pouco relutante em combater o Cobb mais experiente, mas, depois de fazer alguma pesquisa, ele aceitou o desafio. “Eu estava um pouco nervoso no início,” ele admitiu. “Alguns estavam questionando se eu estava pronto para a etapa até lutar com ele. Eu fiz alguma pesquisa: ele não tem uma carreira amadora maior, ou lutou mais seis ou oito rodadas lutas do que eu. E eu era o parceiro de treino para o primeiro profissional para vencê-lo, Tyron Burris(TKO2 em 2012). Estou pronto! Eu sou 27 e precisa de uma luta como essa.”

MIAMI (Dezembro 9, 2017) – Former light heavyweight world champion Jean Pascal(32-5-1, 19 KOs) scored an impressive stoppage of previously unbeaten Ahmed Elbiali (16-1, 13 KOs) in the sixth round of the main event of a special Friday night edition of Premier Boxing Champions TERÇA TOE-de-toe em FS1 e Boxe dos Campeões on FOX Deportes at Hialeah Park in Miami, Florida.
Having already stated that this bout would be the final of his 12-year career, Pascal was able to wear down his younger opponent in a fight that featured power punches throughout. Elibali appeared to have Pascal stunned and hurt in the opening moments of the first round, but was unable to capitalize as Pascal began to time his powerful counters.
“It was a beautiful fight,” said Pascal. “I knew it would be my last one and I wanted to make a statement against a young, unbeaten fighter. It went basically as I expected, a couple of difficult moments but I was able to do everything I wanted.”
Elbiali stuck to his strategy of walking down Pascal with power shots, but exhausted too much energy in doing so while not being able to seriously hurt his opponent. Pascal’s counters grew stronger as the fight went on and Elbiali lost steam on his punches as he entered the sixth round for only the fourth time in his pro career.
After an impressive round five, Pascal poured on the attack in round six, landing numerous unanswered hooks before Elbiali’s corner called for a stop to the fight at 2:06na rodada.
“I fought his fight, I should have boxed more and taken him into the later rounds,” Disse Elbiali. “It wasn’t my day. He is a world class fighter. I felt like I hurt him in the first round, but I felt drained after that. I’m not sure why, it might have been the nerves. But I’ll learn from this.”
The co-main event of the telecast saw top heavyweight contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (28-0, 24 KOs) deliver a second round knockout of Daniel Martz (16-6-1, 13 KOs) and swiftly call out heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder, who had joined the FS1 broadcast ringside.
The towering heavyweights exchanged words in the ring after the fight, with both men looking forward to a possible matchup in 2018.
“I’ve wanted you and I’m going to bless you again with another opportunity,” Disse Wilder. “I was ready the first time. This is a new day for you. I think you’re one of the best heavyweights in the world and I want to prove that I am the best. We must fight each other. You will have your fight.”
“Anthony Joshua doesn’t want to fight either of us, let’s give the world this fight,” disse Ortiz. “There will be no excuses. I will be ready to do this for Cuba!”
Ortiz made quick work of his opponent, knocking him down with body shots in round one before delivering a counter left hand that put Martz down and prompted referee Samuel Burgos to stop the fight 43 seconds into round two.
Additional televised action featured welterweight prospect Bryant Perrella (15-1, 13 KOs) return to the ring to drop Alex Martin (13-3, 5 KOs) a caminho de uma vitória por decisão unânime.
“I felt pretty good about the fight,” Disse Perrella. “There are some things I’d like to have done different, but considering I was out for 15 months and injured for a long time, I’m pleased with what I was able to accomplish. I didn’t get the knockout after hurting him, but I was able to handle him better than anyone else before me.”
Perrella got off to a fast start when he landed a thudding lead right hook from the southpaw stance that put Martin on the canvas. Martin was able to recover enough to survive the round and rebounded to put together several good rounds while showing off impressive boxing ability.
The Florida-native Perrella was able to stabilize his lead and ride the momentum from the early knockdown to victory as he picked up his jab and overall aggressiveness in the second half of the fight. Depois 10 rounds the judges saw the fight in favor of Perrella by scores of 79-72 duas vezes e 77-74.
The opening bout of the telecast saw a battle of unbeaten featherweight prospects as Philadelphia’s Stephen Fulton (12-0, 5 KOs) earned a majority decision victory overAdam Lopez (8-1, 3 KOs).
“I worked hard to get the win,” disse Fulton. “I had to adjust after the first two rounds but I took the fight to him and controlled the pace. He thought he had me hurt in round two, but it wasn’t anything. He landed a good shot but that was it. I never stressed about how the fight would turn out as long as I stuck to the game plan.”
Lopez had his best moment of the fight late in round two when he staggered and appeared to hurt Fulton, who took a series of right hands before hearing the bell. Fulton was able to adjust and use his jab effectively while countering and rarely allowing Lopez to cut off the ring. Lopez was successful when he was able to get Fulton pinned against the ropes, but after eight rounds the judges ruled in favor of Fulton by scores of 78-74, 77-75 e 76-76.

Top Heavyweight Contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz Clashes With Daniel Martz in a Featured Attraction on a Special Friday Night Edition of Premier Boxing Champions TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS on FS1 & BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes Dec. 8, From Hialeah Park in Miami, Florida

Square-Off and Unbeaten Featherweight Prospects Stephen Fulton and Adam Lopez Meet in Undercard Matchup
MIAMI (Dezembro 4, 2017) – Top-rated heavyweight title contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz vai assumir Daniel “The Mountain” Martz in an added 10-round featured bout on a special Friday night edition of Premier Boxing Champions TERÇA TOE-de-toe em FS1 e Boxe dos Campeões on FOX Deportes at Hialeah Park in Miami, Florida em Dezembro. 8.
The main event of the card features Ahmed Elbiali assumir ex-campeão mundial Jean Pascal em um 10-redonda luz ataque pesado. Televised coverage of the 2-1/2 hour show begins at 9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT with a battle between unbeaten featherweight prospects Stephen Fulton (11-0, 5 KOs) e Adam Lopez (8-0, 3 KOs) and also features welterweight prospects Bryant Perrella (14-1, 13 KOs) e Alex Martin(13-2, 5 KOs) in undercard action.
Ortiz is returning to the ring one week after the World Boxing Council lifted a sanction that it had imposed against the Cuban heavyweight contender in October. Ortiz was pulled from a match against world champion Deontay Wilder scheduled for Nov. 4, after Ortiz failed a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association drug test. Last week the WBC ruled that Ortiz had failed to disclose two medications that he was taking, which triggered his positive test. He was fined $25,000 for failing to make the disclosure, and re-instated into the organization’s rankings.
That cleared the way for Ortiz to return to the ring, and he will waste no time doing so with a match that he hopes will help propel him toward another world title shot in 2018.
“I’m just thankful to be back in the sport I love so much. I can’t wait to get some action and feel that ring and those gloves tight on my wrist,” Ortiz said. “Eu gostaria de agradecer a todos, especially my loyal fans, who stood by me and supported me through this rough time. I don’t think it would have been possible without you guys. I’d like to thank the WBC and Mr. Sulaiman for being humane enough to take time for their investigation, and my entire team who never lost faith in me. But most of all I need to thank God because without him there wouldn’t be anything worth living for.”
The 38-year-old Ortiz (27-0, 23 KOs), of Camaguey, Cuba now resides in Miami, Fla., and will be fighting Martz in a 10-round bout in front of his adopted hometown crowd. The hard-hitting southpaw turned pro seven years ago after defecting from Cuba and has since been steadily climbing the heavyweight ladder. He cemented his standing in the division with victories over veteran contenders Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is currently ranked No. 3 pelo WBC. Ortiz hasn’t fought in almost a year, having scored a technical knockout victory over David Allen at Manchester Arena in England on Dec. 10, 2016 em sua última luta.
Ortiz-Martz replaces the Chad Dawson-Edwin Rodriguez light heavyweight bout on the card. The match was cancelled after Dawson suffered an injury in training camp.
The 27-year-old Martz (16-5-1, 13 KOs), a 6-foot-7 heavyweight from Clarksburg, West Virginia, has taken on world champion Joseph Parker and contender Bryant Jennings during his five-year professional career. He is coming off a second round technical knockout victory over Tim Washington on Nov. 17.

On his current training camp:
“For the first time during a training camp, I’ve really secluded myself from society. I’m living at my trainer Carlos Albuerne’s house. It’s like I’m in prison.

I feel great going into this fight.”

“Pascal is a very experienced fighter who knows what it’s like to win a world title. He’s a former world champion who’s fought at the elite level. He’s a dangerous puncher with a lot of skill. I’m taking this fight seriously and I feel this will be a defining fight in my career. I’m happy to have this opportunity and may the best man win.”
On fighting in his hometown of Miami:
“Fighting in my hometown is always a great experience. This is my big coming out party and I’m pleased that all my family and friends will be there to watch me fight. I’m hoping to be the first big star boxer to come out of the ‘305.’ Miami has many boxing fans and the time is now to put Miami boxers on the map.”
On what a win will do for his career:
“A victory against Pascal will catapult my career to heights I’ve never seen. A win will lead to a higher ranking and one step closer to a world title shot. Everything is riding on this fight. Victory is a must!

“The historic Hialeah Park Racetrack & Casino is a beautiful venue for an old-school crossroads fights like Ahmed Elbiali vs. Jean Pascal and Chad Dawson vs. Edwin Rodriguez,” disse Leon Margules, Presidente do Warriors Boxing. “No evento principal, the world will be watching to see if the young contender Elbiali will have his day or if the older champion Jean Pascal still has what it takes. With Dawson vs. Rodriguez, it is ‘do or die’ time for both these guys. The winner of this fight will go on to another big opportunity. The loser will have some thinking to do. It’s going to be an outstanding night of fights from top to bottom, at one of the nicest venues for boxing in North America.”
The 27-year-old Elbiali (16-0, 13 KOs) is a powerful 175-pound contender looking to prove he stacks up with the other big punchers in the division. Born in Cairo, Egypt and now living in Miami, he will be fighting before a hometown crowd in a major step up bout against the former 175-pound champion Pascal. Elbiali is coming off a TKO victory against Christopher Brooker in his last fight on Julho 18 after previously stopping Jackson Junior in March.
“I’m so thankful to everyone who helped me get here and believe in my skills enough to give this opportunity,” Disse Elbiali. “This is my golden ticket. Estou animado, ready and blessed for this opportunity. Tal Como Dezembro 8, it will be fireworks in Miami!”
Pascal (31-5-1, 18 KOs) was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti but now lives in Laval, Quebec, Canadá, and won the light heavyweight title with a decision victory over Adrian Diaconu. He went on to make three defenses, including a victory over Chad Dawson, before losing the title to Bernard Hopkins in 2011. The 34-year-old is looking to bounce back from losing a majority decision to Eleider Alvarez in his last fight onJunho 3.
“This is not only a comeback fight, but I’m ready to battle for my career on Dezembro 8,” said Pascal. “They’re trying to give this young guy a test against a former champion and he’s going to try to use me as a ladder to the next level in this sport. I have a dangerous opponent and I’m going to be ready for him. When I fought Bernard Hopkins I was the young lion, now it’s the other way around and I’m going to be ready to show him something he’s never seen before.”
The 35-year-old Dawson (34-5, 19 KOs) is a two-time light heavyweight champion who has been in the ring against some of the best boxers in the division throughout this era. He won the light heavyweight world championship with a unanimous decision victory over Tomasz Adamek in 2007 and lost the title via a technical decision to Jean Pascal in 2010. He regained the belt with a majority decision victory over Bernard Hopkins in 2012 before losing to Andre Ward later that year. Lutando fora de New Haven, Connecticut, Dawson is coming off a technical knockout loss to Andrzej Fonfara in his last fight on Março 4.
“I know Edwin Rodriguez very well from sparring together in the past,” said Dawson. “We’re both in a position where we really need this win, and that’s going to make this an exciting fight. I’m motivated to do it one more time, e desta vez, I’m doing it right. I know that he’s strong and aggressive, but I’ve been in fights like this. I’m prepared for that type of intensity level, and I’m ready to go out and enjoy myself. I think my boxing will be the difference in the fight, and that will get me back to where I’ve been in the past.”
Rodriguez (29-2, 20 KOs) has the kind one-punch knockout power that makes him a dangerous opponent against anyone in the division. Rodriguez was born in Moca, Dominican Republic and now lives in Worchester, Massa. while training out of Houston. The 32-year-old lost a unanimous decision to Andre Ward in his biggest bout to date and he most recently scored a technical knockout victory over Melvin Russell on Julho 18.
“Chad Dawson is a former champion and a great fighter who at one point was looked at as close to being one of the best fighters, pound-for-pound,” Disse Rodriguez. “He’s had had his share of losses, but he was beating Fonfara in his last fight before being caught and knocked out. It was very important for me to come back and win my last fight by knockout, but an impressive win over a guy of Chad’s caliber will revitalize my career. This is going to be a great fight and I believe I can win by knockout or decision.”

CHICAGO, IL (Março 9, 2017) – After stopping former world champion, Chad Dawson (34-5, 19 KOs), with a stunning tenth-round TKO, WBC #8 light-heavyweight contender, Andrzej Fonfara (29-4, 17 KOs), is welcoming challenges from everyone in the top ten.

“I’m looking forward to my next fight and the possibilities that have opened up with my victory over Chad Dawson,” said Andrzej Fonfara. “My main goal is to avenge my loss toJoe Smith Jr., but if I can’t get him in the ring, then I’m looking to face anyone in the top ten of the light-heavyweight division.”
With the light-heavyweight division loaded with talent, Fonfara seeks a meaningful fight with one of the top contenders, more specifically, former WBC super-middleweight champion, Badou Jack (20-1, 12 KOs), who recently vacated his world title at 168 libras.
“Badou Jack seems like the perfect opponent, but I must warn him, this is not the super-middleweight division,” Fonfara continued. “Badou Jack has never faced punchers like those fighting at 175 libras. He must earn his shot to a world title fight, just like I did when I was coming up. This makes for a perfect opportunity for us to fight, with the winner moving up the rankings.
