Undefeated light heavyweight Richard “पॉपई नाविक आदमी” Rivera to Headline “Fight Night at the Capital”

एक टिप्पणी छोड़ें
जून 16 at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, सीटी

HARTFORD, क्ोन. (मई 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, रिचर्ड “पॉपई नाविक आदमी” रिवेरा, 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”, जून 16वें at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, कनेक्टिकट.

 

 

रिवेरा (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, headlined by International Hall of Famers विली “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep व Christopher “Battling” Battalino.

 

Other top-area boxers include world champion मार्लोन “जादुई आदमी” Starling, विश्व खिताब चैलेंजर्स Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega, व इसराइल “बल्कि” Cardona, व 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain लॉरेंस क्ले-तुर्किस्तान.

 

 

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

 

 

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, बेशक, 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 16वें and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. अभी, 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,” रिवेरा समझाया. “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. अभी, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. जून 16वेंwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.
