They will gain valuable experience speaking in public and being interviewed by the media. One of the primary reasons we’re promoting is to give young fighters a platform to box and prepare them for their pro careers.”

Má nástroje a disciplínu trenér hledá a boxer potřebuje, aby se stal mistrem světa. Nebe je limit pro Richarda a, teď, Jsme vděční hrát malou roli pomáhat rozvíjet svou profesionální kariéru.”
Rivera úspěšně prodává své Popeye persona během svého mladého profesionální boxerské kariéry, čepice námořníka do ringu s tradičním Popeye podobné visící trubky v ústech. “Existuje několik důvodů pro mou přezdívkou, ‚Popeye‘, ale když jsem byl velmi mladý,” Rivera je vysvětleno, “Měl jsem abnormálně velké předloktí.

Udělal jsem nějaký výzkum: neměl větší amatérskou kariéru, nebo bojoval více šest nebo osm kolo souboje než já. A já jsem byl sparring partner pro první profesionální ho porazit, Tyron Burris(TKO2 v 2012). Jsem připraven! Já jsem 27 a je třeba bojovat, jako je tento.”
