Jose Antonio Rivera DedicatesQuest For 50to Worcester Boys & djevojke Klub


(L-R) – Jose Antonio Rivera, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz
(11-0, 6 Kos) and Carlos Garcia


WORCESTER, MASS (Svibanj 16, 2019) – Tri puta, Svjetski prvak dva podjela “Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera is dedicating his 50th profesionalna borba, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Massachusetts. A portion of the proceeds fromQuest For 50,presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment, will benefit the Boys & djevojke Klub.

The 46-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 Kos) faces former WFC champion Travis “Sweet Feet” Scott (19-5, 5 Kos), of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the eight-round main event at The Palladium in Worcester.

Rivera, a full-time court officer in Worcester, has had a special relationship for more than 30 years with the Worcester Boys & Girls Club and its director of boxing, Carlos Garcia, koji je “The Godfather of Worcester Boxing.

Rivera moved to Worcester from Springfield 30 years ago at the age of 16 to pursue a boxing career, which included being coached by Garcia. Rivera had siblings and other relatives living in Worcester and after living with an aunt for a month, Jose moved into an apartment with another boxer, four-time national amateur champion Bobby Harris.

The Worcester Boys & Girls Club helped me stay off the streets so I could focus on my dream of becoming world champion,” Rivera remembered. “It was a place for me and so many others to go and be safe. Kids, not just boxers, can be kids there, where they don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the streets.

Carlos has played a tremendous part of my life and so many others, influencing us not only to become good boxers, but to be good people in the community. That was always so important to him and he emphasized being a good person. Ja sam moje najbolje. He was always fair across the board and gave us all opportunities. He took a liking to me and brags that he never had to throw me out of the Boys & djevojke Klub. I graduated from high school and went after my dream in 1992 when I turned pro. Carlos is big in amateur boxing, but not so much with pros, because he doesn’t have the time to train pros. I made sure that when turned pro, tough, that he was part of my team. And he’s still a big part of my team and life.

The number of Worcester youths Garcia has had a positive effect on, life-changing in many respects, is countless. One of those many people is Jose’s longtime friend and his current head trainer, Sean Fitzgerald, who retired as a boxer in 2001 s 29-2-2 pro zapis. “Fitzyremembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & djevojke Klub: “Better to seat than bleed.

Fitzy lived with his father when his parents divorced and at the age of 10, his father sent him to the Boys & Girls Club to attend an after-school program. “Fitzysaid he had to earn his way into Garcia’s good graces.

Carlos didn’t talk to me for the first 5-6 tjedni,” Fitzgerald explained. “Onda, he put me in the ring as a sparring partner, and I was badly beaten. I had a bloody nose and black eye, but the next day I came back, and the rest is history. Carlos was a great mentor, rough at times, but always there for you. I remember seeing the boxing team jackets. It intrigued me. When I got my jacket and started wearing it, I got respect from everybody, and then I knew that I belonged. I learned a lot about life at the Boys & djevojke Klub, being with there with people from different generations and cultures. I met many friends there who I never would have met.

The Boys & Girls Club is safe. I was from a tough area in Worcester. My father worked and it was easy to get in trouble with no supervision. Carlos stayed on top of me to graduate from school and if I was home sick, he come buy with chicken soup to make sure I was alright. My father was in my life big-time, but I joke that I had two moms growing up, my father and Carlos. Going to the Boys & Girls Club was something to look forward to every day.

Carlos always taught us to never make the mistakes he did in life. He wanted us to go to school, stay out of trouble, and be a good person. He’s helped so many people over the years. Look around Worcester and you’ll see them: police and court officers, fire fighters, and so many others. The Boys & Girls Club was a great experience for me and so many other kids from Worcester.


(L-R) – Ray Semidei, Carlos Garcia and Jose Antonio Rivera

Garcia has been the director of boxing at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club since 1982. Two year ago, Garcia was inductred into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.

Never in his life has Jose even raised his voice to me,” Garcia commented. “He treats me like his father and he’s like one of my sons. There aren’t not too many guys like him and he’s so well respected in the community. He came to Worcester from Springfield to train with ne and stayed with me. Jose helps everyone and now he’s promoting to help local boxers.

We’re at the Boys & Girls Club to and that’s the way it really is here. It’s so good to see so many in this community who’ve gone through our boxing program and are good people, good husbands, good parents. It makes me feel so proud. ‘Fitzywas a hyper kid. He’s a real gentleman who now does so much for kids here. I’ve never had a signed contract with any of the pro boxers I’ve worked with because I trust them.

Tony DeMarco at his statue dedication in Boston’s North End.


Boston, Massachusetts (Ožujak 22, 2019):


Coming off the heels of the sold out 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash which has amassed over 225,000 online views, Murphys boks is proud to announce the creation of the Warrior’s Code Award to celebrate the achievements of New England’s most legendary boxers.



The award’s first recipients will be 2019 Međunarodni Boks Hall of Fame inductee,Tony DeMarco and one of Massachusettsmost decorated amateur boxers, Mike D’Ampolo.


Both fighters will be presented with their awards next Petak, March 29th at the Murphys Boxing event at Memorial Hall u Melrose, Massachusetts.


Na 87 godina star, Tony DeMarco holds the distinction of being boxing’s oldest living world champion and has been a beloved figure in the Boston sports world for over half a century.


Known as ‘Nardo’, the Boston fighter of Italian descent, turned pro unbelievably just a few years after the end of World War II. U 14 year career, DeMarco went 52-12-1 while fighting during boxing’s golden age. His legendary battles with Hall of Famers like Carmen Basilio a Kid Gavilin made DeMarco a star and he won the welterweight world title u 1955 protiv Johnny Saxton at the original Boston Garden in a fight that was voted one of Boston’s Top 10 Sports Moments.


DeMarco, who still can be found ringside at Murphys Boxing events and whose statue resides in Boston’s North End where he still lives, will receive the long overdue honor of joining the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a 2019 inductee this June.


“Murphys Boxing has always been very welcoming to me and my family.”, explains DeMarco.


“They have a true respect for boxing’s history. It’s an honor to be given their first ever award just months before entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame. I am looking forward to the evening.”


Joining DeMarco will be Melrose’s own, Mike D’Ampolo, who is considered one of the most successful amateurs ever to come out of the state of Massachusetts.


D’Ampolo was a New England Golden Gloves Champion, a 3x New England AAU Champ, a 2x Eastern Regional Champion and participated in the 1984 Olimpijske Suđenjabarely missing a spot on the legendary 1984 USA Olympic Team with his weight class ultimately being represented by none other than Evander Holyfield.


On advice from his father, D’Ampolo made the decision to not enter the professional ranks and went onto become a successful businessman with his company, M&L Transit Systems based out of his hometown of Melrose, Massachusetts.


I’m humbled. Back when we were fighting, there wasn’t much recognition or credit given to amateurs.”, says D’Ampolo.


“I used to be in the paper back then but it’s been a long time and I’m just very grateful to Murphys Boxing for remembering and honoring me here in my hometown.


Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey explains the promotion’s decision to name Demarco and D’Ampolo as the first two recipients of the award named after one of the Dropkick Murphy’s signature songs, “The Warrior’s Code” which is a tribute to another New England boxing hero, Micky Ward.


“The idea stemmed from Tony DeMarco finally being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. We wanted to celebrate Tony at one of our local shows before his big day and in talking we realized their were so many other retired New England based fighters both professional and amateur that, like Tony, deserved more recognition.”


The Warrior’s Code Award is a way for us to honor those locally who have come before us and given so much to the sport we love. Boston and beyond has such a rich boxing history, it’s important for Murphys Boxing to respect and honor that as well as educate a new generation about these warriors that have paved the way.”


The presentation of Murphys Boxing’s 1st Annual Warrior’s Code Award will take place during the Murphys Boxing “Mayhem in Melrose” event next Friday, March 29th which features the return of Stoneham’s Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 Kos) vs. Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 Kos) u 10 round main event as well as a packed undercard of Massachusetts based fighters including:

SAD Boks Alumni Association profil: Jovan “Quietman” Ruiz

Od projekata na posjedovanje krajnji krunu Boks-a


COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Ožujak 12, 2019) – Od projekata za posjedovanje nedvojbeno poštuje individualni naslov u sportu, Jovan “Quietman” Ruiz ostaje samo Latino uhvatiti prestižnu svjetsku teškoj naslov.

Ruiz, 47, je ponosan Puerto-Rice američki boksač koji su odrasli-up u Chelsea, Massachusetts. Dva puta World Boxing Association (WBA) prvak u teškoj kategoriji, poražen USA Boks Alumni udruga eve Kuće slavnih Evander Holyfield u drugom od svojih tri naslova borbe, osigurati po prvi put, svijet teškoj kruna.

Uređena amaterski boksač, Ruiz Dimitrijević 50-5 rekord, sličan svom posljednjem pro rekord 44-9-1 (30 Kos) između 1992-2010, uključujući zlato- medalja nastupi na All-New England prvenstvo, USA Boks nacionalnih prvenstava i Los Angeles Olimpijski festival, koji ga je uzdignut na br. 1 teškoj svjetlo mjesto u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama ocjene.

Ruiz je bio izvanredan sve oko sportaš na Chelsea Visoko, posebno u nogometu, u kojoj je bio All-Star. Počeo je boks u dobi od sedam godina, na kraju razvija svoje vještine u Somerville Boxing Club.

“Boks je bio jedini sport sam shvatio bih imao dobre izglede za uspjeh,” Ruiz (na slici ovdje na krajnje lijevo) objasnio zašto je slijedio boks za razliku od nogometa ili drugi timski sport. “Ostali sportovi ste morali ići na koledž, i nisam imala ocjene.”

Ruiz nije osvrnuo i nema boksač ikada dobio više iz svojih Bogom danim sposobnostima od njega. Nakon osvajanja svoj prvi turnir (PAL u New Jersey), on je postao dio SAD-tima koji je otputovao u Švedsku da se natječu u dual-susret.

“Izvan Portorika (on je živio tamo 6-7 godina u ranoj mladosti),” Ruiz sjetio nježno. “Ja nikada nije putovao izvan SAD-a. SAD boks mi je dao priliku da putuju tamo, Australija, Italija i diljem SAD-a. Čak i više od toga kako me ta iskustva pripremili za pro redovima, to mi je dao okus životnog iskustva, putuju na mjesta nikada ne bih bio u mogućnosti ići na na svoje. Amaterski boks je također dala mi strukturu i povjerenje u sebe kada sam se okrenuo pro. Također sam upoznala toliko različitih ljudi, borci i treneri, iz cijeloga svijeta.”

Pored njegove spomenute pobjede u Los Angelesu Olimpijskom festivalu, koji ga je kvalificiran kao član tima SAD će se natjecati na Svjetskom prvenstvu u Australiji (gotov 6th u svijetu), možda vrhunac njegove amaterske karijere bio pobjede Torsten svibnja, the 1992 dobitnik olimpijskog zlata iz Njemačke, na dual susret u Floridi.

“Moja povezanost s Ivanom seže do 1990. godine,” dodano u Valenti, SAD Boks posebni projekti savjetnik. “Bio sam oduševljen da je lokalni klinac je brušenje svoje vještine u boksački ring. Ivan je napravio nevjerojatan utjecaj na nacionalni Amaterski boks sceni početkom devedesetih; čineći ga sve do Olimpijskih suđenja u Worcester (MA). Nakon što je sudjelovao u ispitivanjima bio extra poseban za mene, jer Ivan je bio tako velik konkurent i dobro dijete. Boks povijest će imati mjesto za John Ruiz, ne mnogo preživio 36 kola s Evander. Biti prvi Latino Svijet prvak u teškoj kategoriji je prilično postignuće za “Quietman”.

Ruiz okrenuo pro kolovoza 20, 1992, osvojivši četiri okrugli jednoglasnu odluku nad Kevin Parker. Tijekom svoje karijere pro, on je pobijedio na vrhu suvremene imena kao što su Holyfield,James Thunder, Jerry Ballard, Fernely Felix, Kirk Johnson, Fres Oquendo, Andrew Golota a Jameel McCline.

Povijest je napravljen ožujka 3, 2013 U Las Vegasu, kada je postao tek drugi borac padati Holyfield na putu za svoju WBA naslov nagrađenog borbi na način da se 12-okrugli jednoglasnom odlukom, zarada mu je trenutak označili kao prvi Latino držati prestižnu svjetsku teškoj naslov pojas.



John Ruiz susreo s predsjednikom George W. Bush u Bijeloj kući nakon što je postao prvi Latino postati svjetski boksački prvak u teškoj kategoriji (Slika ljubaznošću Boston Heralda)

“Jako sam ponosan što smo postigli da,” on je nastavio, “ali moj glavni cilj bio je pružiti za moju obitelj i uvijek sam se nastavio taj cilj. Većina borci ne uspiju, ali na kraju dana, to je ono što me je gurnuo. Ja stvarno ne razmišljam o tome što je jedini latino osvojiti svjetsko teškoj naslov, ali, kad čujem ljudi govore o tome danas, Mislim, wow, Ja sam još uvijek jedini Latino to učiniti.”

Prije nekoliko godina, Ruiz otvorio teretanu (Quietman Sport Gym) Medford, MA, ne previše daleko od mjesta gdje je odrastao u Chelsea i obučeni u Somerville. To je bio registriran član kluba USA boksu jer 2012, ali, što je još važnije, važno je da Ruiz’ način davanja natrag u amaterskom boksu.

“Osjećao sam da je potrebno kako bi se više djece i dati im priliku da se iz kuće i učiniti nešto produktivno i zabava,” Ruiz komentirao. “Oni svi imaju priliku raditi na samopouzdanje, a jedan bi mogao postati svjetski prvak. Osjećam se dužan pomoći djeci jer se sjećam prije nekoliko godina, kada sam bio u istom položaju. Oni trebaju smjernice. Da nisam imao svu potporu nisam odrastao, Ne bih ispalo onako kako sam učinio. Želim pomoći djeci razumjeti kako ostvarenje njihovih ciljeva.”

On je odgojna časnik za Sheriff Odjel Martin County. “Pobjednički naslov svjetskog prvaka dva puta kao profesionalac bio strašan,” Ruiz je zaključio, “ali sam definitivno uživala u amatere više od pros, iako bih volio da su zastupljene SAD na Olimpijadi.

KENNEDY JOINS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, GARY ’SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN, JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY ON STACKED HOLIDAY CARD


Subota, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON


EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS OVDJE!


Boston (Ožujak 4, 2019):


Murphys boks is excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, Niall Kennedi (12-0-1, 8 Kos) je dodan The 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash koji se odvija Subota, March 16th u Boston, Massachusetts na House of Blues.


One of Murphys Boxing’s most popular fighters, ‘Boom Boom’, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win this past October when he took the ‘O’ from fellow undefeated heavyweight, Brendan Barrett in a fight broadcast on DAZN.


Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Clash, his third time appearing at the annual event, and he knows firsthand the excitement and energy that comes with it.


I won the Massachusetts State Heavyweight Title on the Murphys Paddys Day show in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed at a boxing event. I’m looking forward to being part of it again.


Kennedy, despite hailing from Gorey, Ireland where he works full time as a policeman, borio 10 njegov 13 professional fights in the New England area and actually considers Boston his boxing home.


I’m blessed with the support that I have received from the people of Boston and Massachusetts in general. I have a large family connection in the state who bring out massive support so when it comes to boxing homes, Boston is my first boxing home.


As for 2019, Kennedy is dead set on upping the competition and even has his eyes on a fellow unbeaten heavyweight who like himself is creating a buzz in a boxing crazed east coast city.


My goal is always to improve with each fight. I want to be world ranked and fight the top names in the division but I know if that’s going to happen, 2019 has to be a huge year for me. There’s a lot of fighters I want to share the ring with but right now I think myself vs Philadelphia’s Darmani Rock is a fight that should and will happen.


Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey agrees that 2019 will be a breakout year for Kennedy and that his addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes the event to a whole new level.


Niall is one of our most popular fighters and he has huge fights on the horizon. We want to keep him active this year so he can be at his best for what lies ahead. Having an Irish heavyweight on a St. Patrick’s Day show puts this card over the top as one of the best Murphys Boxing has ever done.


The Saint Patrick’s Day Clash will truly be an Irish heavy affair as Kennedy joins a card that has fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate, Pluta, Irska je Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 Kos) in a risky fight against Khiary Grey (16-4, 12 Kos) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Irska je John Joyce (7-0, 4 Kos) and Lucan, Irska je Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 Kos).


Headlining the annual event will be NABA Junior Middleweight Champion, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 Kos) who will put his title, and his vrh 10 world ranking, on the line against Connecticut’s Jimmy Williams (16-1-1, 5 Kos).


U suradnji-glavni događaj, neporažen NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 Kos) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, Mike Jiminez (22-1-2, 14 Kos).

JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI RETURNS MARCH 29TH IN HOMECOMING MURPHYS BOXING EVENT


JR. MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI TO FACE
MANNY WOODS IN HEADLINING HOMETOWN AREA SHOW


RYAN KIELCZWESKI RETURNS IN CO-MAIN EVENT


UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT, MIKE OHAN JR. TO APPEAR


Petak, MARCH 29TH AT MEMORIAL HALL
IN MELROSE, MASSACHUSETTS


TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM



Boston, Massachusetts (Veljača 26, 2019):


Murphys boks is proud to announce the return of junior middleweight contender and fan favorite, Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 Kos) koji će se na Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 Kos) u petak, March 29th at Memorial Hall u Melrose, Massachusetts u 10 okrugli bout.


Vendetti, who last summer pulled off a massive upset against former world title challenger,Yoshihiro Kamegai na ESPN2, found himself in the Top 10 rankings and was offered the chance to fight France’s Michel Soro za WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship in Paris this past December.


‘The Villain’, who was on an incredible 16 fight winning streak, came up short in his first shot at a title but is looking to get back in the winning column in front of his hometown fans at Memorial Hall in a tough match up against upset specialist, Manny Woods.


“Unatoč gubitku, 2018 was an amazing year for me. Borio sam se 5 times and I had the biggest win of my career as a B-side against Kamegai which landed me in the Top 10. We were offered the Soro fight for the Interim world title and even though I felt like my body needed some time off, you can’t say no to that kind of opportunity. You never know when or if it will come again.”, explains the Stoneham, Massachusetts native.


It was a rough camp. I trained too hard. My body was falling apart. As for the fight, it was an ugly knockout but that’s part of the game. I’m proud of how I handled it. No shame. No embarrassment. I wasn’t phased by it. Of course I wasn’t happy about it but my first thought was what do we do to get better? The fight showed me I have to get sharper. Continue to be aggressive but be smarter and more tactical about it. It was only one battle in a long war.


As for taking on a seasoned veteran like Woods when he could have easily asked for a tune up, Vendetti shows the attitude that has made him such a fan favorite.


I like to fight and wanted to be in a real fight in my return. Knocking out a ham and egger in the first round isn’t enjoyable for me or the fans. It’s a waste of a camp and a weight cut not to mention you don’t learn anything. Woods is a durable, legit guy who is coming to win. That’s what I need and want.


And after going 50/50 against against world class opposition last year, would Vendetti be willing to take on a top 10 fighter again in 2019?


“100%. I want to make a statement against Woods then keep improving with each fight. I don’t want to take any steps back with the opposition. Everything forward. As long as I’m healthy, I will fight anyone in the division.


U suradnji-glavni događaj, fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate and Massachusetts fan favorite, Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 Kos) will take on an opponent to be named in an 8 round contest in the lightweight division.


‘The Polish Princeis coming off his show stealing back and forth battle with Tommy Coyle at TD Garden in Boston this past October on the undercard of the Demetrius Andrade WBO world middleweight title fight.


Despite dropping the decision, Kielczweski, who hails from Quincy, Massachusetts, showed world class talent and massive heart in an all out war that had the arena crowd on it’s feet.


Also featured on the card will be the most recent addition to Murphys Boxing’s growing roster, Mike Ohan Jr. (8-0, 5 Kos).


The son of a popular New England area professional fighter in the 1990s, Ohan Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps going 82-10 in the amateurs and picking up multiple New England Golden Gloves naslovi.


Fighting a remarkable 8 puta 2 years and upping the competition level in each outing, including a unanimous decision over veteran, Daniel Sostre in his last fight, Ohan has been on the fast track as a professional. The impressive win lead to the young fighter, who hails from Holbrook, Massachusetts, being offered a contract with Murphys Boxing.


I am beyond excited to be a part of the Murphys Boxing family.”, says Ohan, Jr. who will fight an opponent to be named in a 6 round bout on the card.


Being with such an active promotional company will give me the opportunity to grow as a fighter and showcase my skills as I move towards my dream of one day being a world champion.


In addition to the three headlining local favorites, the card will feature a 4 round super lightweight women’s bout between Jillian DiAuto (1-1, 1 KO) a Sarah Click (0-1-1), as well as the east coast debut of Venezuelan super lightweight sensation, Luis Arcon (5-0, 5 Kos) who will take on an opponent to be named in a 6 okrugli bout.


3 more undercard bouts will be announced shortly to kick off the night at the beloved throwback venue which has become a mainstay of Murphys Boxing.


Memorial Hall is my favorite fight venue.”, says Ken Casey, founder of Murphys Boxing.


It gets incredibly loud in there when Greg fights and with the bowl seating, it feels like a mini coliseum.


Vendetti, who will be making his 7th appearance at the always sold out venue, couldn’t agree more with his promoter.


It’s intense. I really do feel like a gladiator fighting in a coliseum when I’m at Memorial Hall and for a gladiator there’s only two optionsvictory or death.


Vendetti vs. Woods takes place on Saturday, March 29h at Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts (590 Main Street). Doors open at 7pm. Ulaznice su na prodaju sada: www.murphysboxing.com
