Undefeated light heavyweight Richard “Popeye The Sailor хүн” Rivera to Headline “Fight Night at the Capital”

Сэтгэгдэл үлдээх
Оны зургадугаар сар 16 at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, СТ

HARTFORD, Коннектикут. (May 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, Ричард “Popeye The Sailor хүн” Ривера, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF-д ирэх) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ inaugural event, “Fight Night at the Capital”, Оны зургадугаар сар 16-р at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, Коннектикут.

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, Мэдээж, 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 16-р and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Одоо, 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,” Ривера тайлбарлав. “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. Одоо, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Оны зургадугаар сар 16-рwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.

“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.
