Undefeated light heavyweight Richard “פופאי המלח” Rivera to Headline “Fight Night at the Capital”

להשאיר תגובה
יוני 16 at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, CT

HARTFORD, קונטיקט. (מאי 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, ריצ'רד “פופאי המלח” ריברה, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ inaugural event, “Fight Night at the Capital”, יוני 16ה at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, קונטיקט.

 

 

ריברה (7-0, 6 קוס) has partnered with his trainer, טוני לבן, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, מיכאל טראן, 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, headlined by International Hall of Famers וילי “Will o’ the Wisp” מֶרֶץ ו Christopher “Battling” Battalino.

 

Other top-area boxers include world champion מרלון “קסם אדם” זַרזִיר, מתמודדת באליפות העולם גספר “אינדיאני” אורטגה, ו ישראל “ליתר דיוק” קרדונה, ו 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain לורנס קליי-ביי.

 

 

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

 

 

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, כמובן, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” ריברה אמר. “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 16ה and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. עכשיו, 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,” ריברה הסבירה. “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 “פופאי,” and the nickname has stuck. עכשיו, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. יוני 16הwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.

 

 

במקרה תכונות שיתוף, undefeated Danbury, CT lightweight עומר “The Beast” בורדוי, ג 'וניור. (5-0, 1 KO) will be in his first scheduled six-rounder against. אלכסנדר “El בראבו” פיקו (2-5-1), fighting out of Hartford by way of Puerto Rico.

 

 

“The Special One,” Sharad Collier, fighting out of Hartford, is competing this week Omaha (NE) at the National Golden Gloves Championships, before returning home to turn pro in a four-round Special Junior Welterweight Attraction versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

Also fighting on the undercard, והכל התקפים ארבעה עגולים, are Hartford featherweight לואיס “לוביטו” ריברה (4-3) לעומת.
