WORCESTER, सामूहिक. (मार्च 20, 2017) – The long trip back begins April 1^सेंट के लिए मैट “Sharp Shooter” Remillard, 12 years to the day from his professional debut, पर “New England’s Future 2” show at the Palladium in Worcester, मैसाचुसेट्स.

Remillard (23-1, 13 KOs), fighting out of Manchester, कनेक्टिकट, hasn’t boxed for the six years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He takes on Lawrence (एमए) हल्के Augustine “क्रूर” मौरा (6-1-3, 3 KOs) 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″ रिवेरा प्रचार एंटरटेनमेंट द्वारा प्रस्तुत किया जाता है (RPE), स्वामित्व और सेवानिवृत्त तीन बार के द्वारा संचालित है जो, दो प्रभाग विश्व चैंपियन जोस एंटोनियो रिवेरा और उनके बेटे, Anthonee (ए.जे.) रिवेरा.

“I am excited to have a boxer of Remillard’s caliber on our ‘New England’s Future 2’ मुक्केबाजी घटना,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “He has a tough match against August time Mauras for his first fight back. Knowing Remillard, यद्यपि, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank Matt, Paul Cichon (सिर ट्रेनर) 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) संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका & Youth World, North American Boxing Federation (NABF) और विश्व मुक्केबाजी संगठन (WBO) featherweight champion. His lone pro loss came in his last fight, मार्च 23, 2011 in Atlantic City to then rising star मिकी गार्सिया (24-0), when Remillard retired after 11 राउंड. He won’t make excuses; हालांकि, 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, अगर नहीं, 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, तीन बार (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, आदि. 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 राउंड. 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.”
