WORCESTER, كتلة. (مارس 20, 2017) – The long trip back begins April 1^شارع إلى مات “Sharp Shooter” Remillard, 12 years to the day from his professional debut, على ال “New England’s Future 2” show at the Palladium in Worcester, ماساتشوستس.

Remillard (23-1, 13 كوس), fighting out of Manchester, كونيتيكت, hasn’t boxed for the six years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He takes on Lawrence (MA) وزن خفيف أوغسطين “قاس” مورا (6-1-3, 3 كوس) in the eight-round co-feature. If their tense, near volatile stare-down at a recent press conference is a true indication, Remillard vs. Mauras is not going the distance, to put things mildly.

New England’s Future 2″ مقدمة من Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), الذي يملكه ويديره المتقاعد ثلاث مرات, اثنين من تقسيم بطل العالم خوسيه انطونيو ريفيرا وابنه, أنتوني (A.J.) ريفيرا.

“I am excited to have a boxer of Remillard’s caliber on our ‘New England’s Future 2’ الحدث الملاكمة,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “He has a tough match against August time Mauras for his first fight back. Knowing Remillard, رغم أن, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank Matt, Paul Cichon (مدرب الرأس) and their team for trusting Rivera Promotions Entertainment for Matt’s first boxing match back from his long layoff.”

Remillard is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية & Youth World, North American Boxing Federation (NABF) ومنظمة الملاكمة العالمية (المنظمة العالمية للملاكمة) بطل الريشة. His lone pro loss came in his last fight, مارس 23, 2011 in Atlantic City to then rising star ميكي غارسيا (24-0), when Remillard retired after 11 جولات. He won’t make excuses; لكن, he never should have taken the fight with Garcia, facing the impending court case that sent him to prison and working with a new head trainer he’d only met two weeks prior to the fight.

“I’m confident I can get back to where I was in about a year,” the 30-year-old Remillard said. “A dream come true would be a rematch with Garcia, at any weight, but I have to earn that shot. Everybody wants a rematch with the guy who gave you the first loss. It seldom happens but, إن لم يكن, in time I believe there will be other big fights out there for me.

“I’m fighting an opponent who fought by buddy, Chip Perez, ثلاث مرات (0-2-1), so I’m familiar with his style. He doesn’t back down. I don’t expect him to back down against me…until he feels my power. I’m going to take out those five years that I was away on him. I’ve been through so much the last six year but I’m most comfortable in the gym. The past is past and this is my last run. Paul and I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of.”

Seventeen years ago, Chicon first met Remillard at the Manchester PAL gym, but he made the 13-year-old aspiring boxer earn his opportunity to be trained. Paul made Matt clean the bathrooms, take care of spit buckets, الخ. before he started training him.

“When he returned to the gym a few months back, I saw that his work ethic hadn’t faded,” Cichon commented. “I don’t believe he’s really that far away from where he was six years ago. He was idle five years but his first day back he sparred 12 جولات. He stayed in good physical shape and is hungrier than ever. He thinks he has something to prove after his last fight, but he really doesn’t have anything to prove to me or anybody else. He is fighting a tough kid but Matt’s going to be victorious. I think in four or five more fights he’ll be back where he was in boxing.”
