Junie 16 by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford, CT

HARTFORD, Conn. (Mei 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ eerste geval, “Veg Night at the Capital”, Junie 16ste by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford, Connecticut.

 

 

Rivera (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue) has partnered with his trainer, Tony White, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, Michael Tran, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.

 

 

ryk wortels boks in die Hartford mark dateer byna 'n volle eeu, opskrif deur International Hall of Famers Willie “sal o’ die Wisp” Pep en Christopher “sukkel” Battalino.

 

Ander top-area boksers sluit wêreldkampioen Marlon “Magic Man” Starling, wêreld titel uitdagers Gaspar “Injun” Ortega, en Israel “eerder” Cardona, en 1996 VSA Olimpiese boksspan kaptein Lawrence Clay-Bey.

 

 

Rivera will take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-3-2, 9 Uitklophoue) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, natuurlik, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera gesê. “I’m all about boxing. My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16ste and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Nou, I want to expand my horizons. I have a huge following from our gym and church, but I want to bring non-boxing fans to our show to make them boxing fans.

 

 

“There’s no such thing as an easy fight. It all starts with training, which makes fighting easier. I may get an early knockout, but I always train to go the distance. My opponent has fought on television a few times against some fighters with good records. I know that I am going to be in a fight. I’ll be ready for war!”

 

 

This past April in New Hampshire, Rivera hit his opponent, Randy Campbell, so hard with a powerful right, that the force broke Campbell’s ankle only seconds into the contest.

 

 

“Fighting is a way of life,” Rivera verduidelik. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”

 

 

Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “Popeye,” and the nickname has stuck. Nou, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Junie 16stewill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
