Rivera (7-0, 6 Kos) has partnered with his trainer, Tony Blanco, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, Michael Tran, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.
Boxing’s rich roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, Nazioarteko Ospearen Aretoko kideek zuzenduta Willie “Will o’ Wisp” Pep eta Kristobal “Borrokan” Battalino.

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, ikastaroa, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera said. “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 16garren and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Orain, Nire horizonteak zabaldu nahi ditut. Gure gimnasiotik eta elizatik jarraitzaile handia dut, baina boxeoa ez diren zaleak ekarri nahi ditut gure ikuskizunera, boxeo zaleak izan daitezen.
“Ez dago borroka errazik. Entrenamendutik hasten da dena, horrek borroka errazten du. Baliteke kanporaketa goiztiarra izatea, baina beti entrenatzen dut distantzia joateko. Nire aurkariak hainbat aldiz borrokatu du telebistan errekor onak dituzten borrokalari batzuen aurka. Badakit borrokan egongo naizela. Gerrarako prest egongo naiz!”
Joan den apirilean New Hampshiren, Riverak aurkaria jo zuen, Randy Campbell, hain gogorra eskuin indartsu batekin, indarrak Campbellen orkatila hautsi zuela lehian hasi zen segundoetan.
“Borrokatzea bizimodu bat da,” Rivera azaldu. “Entrenamendu eta borroka guztiak, boxeoaren zaletasunagatik da, ez dirua. Borrokak ez du inoiz boxeolari bat uzten.”
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. Orain, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. June 16garrenwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
