Jose Antonio Rivera DedicatesQuest For 50to Worcester Boys & девојки клуб


(L-R) – Хозе Антонио Ривера, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz
(11-0, 6 КО) and Carlos Garcia


WORCESTER, МАСА (Мај 16, 2019) – Трикратниот, Две поделба светски шампион “На Гало” Хозе Антонио Ривера is dedicating his 50та pro fight, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Масачусетс. A portion of the proceeds fromQuest For 50,presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment, will benefit the Boys & девојки клуб.

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

Ривера, 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, Карлос Гарсија, кој е “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. Јас не мојот најдобар. 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 & девојки клуб. 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 со 29-2-2 pro record. “Fitzyremembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & девојки клуб: “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 weeks,” Fitzgerald explained. “Тогаш, 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 & девојки клуб, 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.


Бостон, Масачусетс (Март 22, 2019):


Coming off the heels of the sold out 4th Annual St. Судар на Денот на Патрик which has amassed over 225,000 online views, Марфис бокс 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 Меѓународната боксерска сала на славните охриѓани,Тони DeMarco and one of Massachusettsmost decorated amateur boxers, Mike D’Ampolo.


Both fighters will be presented with their awards next Петок, March 29th at the Murphys Boxing event at Memorial Hall во Melrose, Масачусетс.


На 87 години, 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. Во 14 year career, DeMarco went 52-12-1 while fighting during boxing’s golden age. His legendary battles with Hall of Famers like Кармен Basilio и Kid Gavilin made DeMarco a star and he won the welterweight world title во 1955 против 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, на 3x New England AAU Champ, на 2x Eastern Regional Champion and participated in the 1984 Олимписки судењеbarely missing a spot on the legendary 1984 USA Olympic Team with his weight class ultimately being represented by none other than Evander Холифилд.


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, М&L Transit Systems based out of his hometown of Melrose, Масачусетс.


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, Мики Вард.


“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 КО) наспроти.

Профил на асоцијација на боксерски алумни во САД: Џон “На Quietman” Руиз

Од проектите до поседување на крајната круна на боксот


COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Март 12, 2019) – Од проектите до поседување веројатно најпочитувана индивидуална титула во спортот, Џон “На Quietman” Руиз останува единствениот латино кој ја фати посакуваната светска титула во тешка категорија.

Руиз, 47, е горд играч на Порто-Рикан Американец кој израсна во Челзи, Масачусетс. Двократното Светско здружение за бокс (ВБА) шампион во тешка категорија, ја совладаа салата на Фамер на асоцијацијата на боксерски алумни во САД Evander Холифилд во втората од нивните три борби за титули, да се обезбеди за прв пат, светска круна во тешка категорија.

Накитен аматерски боксер, Руиз составил 50-5 рекорд, слично на неговиот последен про запис на 44-9-1 (30 КО) меѓу 1992-2010, вклучувајќи злато- настапи на медали на Олимписко првенство во Англија, Национален шампионат во боксот во САД и Олимпискиот фестивал во Лос Анџелес, што го издигна на бр. 1 лесна позиција за тешка категорија во рејтингот во Соединетите држави.

Руиз исто така беше извонреден сеприсутен спортист на Челзи Висока, особено во фудбалот, во која тој беше ол-везда. Почна да боксува на седумгодишна возраст, на крајот развивајќи ги своите вештини во боксерскиот клуб Сомервил.

“Боксот беше единствениот спорт што сфатив дека имам добри шанси да успеам,” Руиз (на сликата овде лево) објасни зошто тој извршувал бокс наспроти фудбалот или друг тимски спорт. “Другите спортови што требаше да одите на колеџ, и немав оценки.”

Руиз никогаш не погледнав назад и ниту еден боксер никогаш не излегол повеќе од своите вештини дадени од Бога од него. После освојувањето на неговиот прв турнир (ПАЛ во Newу ерси), тој стана дел од тимот на САД кој отпатува за Шведска за да се натпреварува во двојна средба.

“Надвор од Порто Рико (тој живеел таму за 6-7 години во раната младост),” Руиз убаво се сети. “Никогаш не сум патувал надвор од Соединетите држави. Боксот во САД ми даде можност да патувам таму, Австралија, Италија и низ цела САД. Дури и повеќе од тоа како тие искуства ме подготвуваа за про редот, ми даде вкус на животно искуство, патувајќи на места на кои никогаш не би можел да одам самостојно. Аматерскиот бокс исто така ми даде структура и самодоверба во себе кога се претворив во професионалност. Запознав и многу различни луѓе, fighters and coaches, from all over the world.

In addition to his aforementioned victory at the Los Angles Olympic Festival, which qualified him as a Team USA member to compete in the World Championships in Australia (готовиот 6та во светот), perhaps the highlight of his amateur career was defeating Torsten May, на 1992 Olympic gold medal winner from Germany, at a dual meet in Florida.

My association with John goes back to 1990,” додадени Al Valenti, USA Boxing Special Projects Consultant. “I was thrilled that a local kid was honing his skills in the boxing ring. John made an incredible impact on the National Amateur boxing scene in the early nineties; making it all the way to the Olympic Trials in Worcester (М-р). Having been involved in the trials was extra special for me because John was such a great competitor and good kid. Boxing history will have a place for John Ruiz, not many survived 36 rounds with Evander. Being the first Latino World Heavyweight Champion was quite an accomplishment for “На Quietman”.

Ruiz turned pro August 20, 1992, winning a four-round unanimous decision over Kevin Parker. During his pro career, he defeated top contemporary names such as Holyfield,James Thunder, Jerry Ballard, Fernely Felix, Kirk Johnson, Fres Oquendo, Andrew Golota и Jameel McCline.

History was made March 3, 2013 во Лас Вегас, when he became only the second fighter to drop Holyfield en route to his WBA title-winning fight by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, earning him instant notoriety as the first Latino to hold the coveted world heavyweight title belt.



John Ruiz met President George W. Bush in the White House after becoming the first Latino to become world heavyweight boxing champion (Picture courtesy of the Boston Herald)

I’m very proud to have accomplished that,” he continued, “but my main goal was to provide for my family and I always maintained that goal. Most fighters don’t succeed, but at the end of the day, that’s what pushed me. I don’t really think about being the only Latino to win the world heavyweight title, но, when I hear people talk about it today, Мислам дека, wow, I’m still the only Latino to do that.

Several years ago, Ruiz opened a gym (Quietman спортската сала) in Medford, М-р, not too far from where he grew up in Chelsea and trained in Somerville. It has been a registered club member by USA Boxing since 2012, но, уште поважно, it’s Ruizway of giving back to amateur boxing.

“Чувствував дека има потреба да им помогнам на повеќе деца и да им дадам можност да излезат од куќата и да направат нешто продуктивно и забавно,” Руиз коментираше. “Сите тие имаат шанса да работат на самодоверба и некој би можел да стане светски шампион. Се чувствувам должен да им помагам на децата затоа што се сеќавам пред години кога бев на иста позиција. Ним им треба водство. Ако ја немав целата поддршка, растев, Не би го испоставил начинот на кој правев. Сакам да им помогнам на децата да разберат како да ги постигнат своите цели.”

Асоцијација за алумни на боксери во САД

Создадено за да биде шампион доживотно, взаемно корисни односи меѓу САД бокс и нејзините алумни, –боксери, службени лица, тренери и boxубители на боксот — Здружението на алумни ги поврзува генерациите на шампиони, инспирирање и враќање на идните шампиони во боксот во САД-боксот, во и надвор од прстенот.

Асоцијацијата за алумни во боксот во САД е отворена за секој што има forубов кон боксот и би сакал да остане поврзан со аматерскиот бокс. Членовите имаат пристап до широк спектар на специјални настани организирани од Асоцијацијата на алумни, вклучувајќи го и неговиот годишен прием во академија за боксери на алумни во САД.

Да се ​​придружиме на Здружението на алумни, едноставно се регистрирате на alumni@usaboxing.org за $40.00 годишно членарина. Новите членови ќе добијат маица, приврзок за клучеви и е-паричник.

Денес, Он живее во Палм Сити, Флорида. Тој е директор за одделение за одделот за шериф во округот Мартин. “Освојувањето на светската титула двапати како професионалец беше прекрасно,” Заклучи Руиз, “но дефинитивно уживав во аматерите повеќе од добрите, иако би сакал да ги претставував САД на Олимпијадата. Боксот во САД ми го отвори умот кон различни работи, ме однесе надвор од улиците на Челси за да се чувствувам……посебен.”

Johnон Руиз отсекогаш проповедаше, “Следи ги твоите соништа!” и тој сè уште го прави тоа денес.

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


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


EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS ТУКА!


Бостон (Март 4, 2019):


Марфис бокс is excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, Niall Kennedи (12-0-1, 8 КО) е додадена на The 4th Annual St. Судар на Денот на Патрик кој ќе се одржи Сабота, March 16th во Бостон, Масачусетс на 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, Брендан Берет in a fight broadcast on ДАЗН.


Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Судар на Денот на Патрик, 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, се борел 10 на неговата 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, Cork, Ирска Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 КО) in a risky fight against Khiary Греј (16-4, 12 КО) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ирска John Joyce (7-0, 4 КО) and Lucan, Ирска Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 КО).


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


Во ко-главен настан, непоразен NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 КО) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, Mike Jiminez (22-1-2, 14 КО).


Murphys Boxing’s 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes place on Saturday, March 16th in Boston, Massachusetts at the House of Blues (15 Lansdowne Street). Doors open at 7pm. The night will also feature a specialin ringacoustic performance by The Dropkick Murphys. Limited tickets are on sale now at:

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


Петок, MARCH 29TH AT MEMORIAL HALL
IN MELROSE, Масачусетс


TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM



Бостон, Масачусетс (Февруари 26, 2019):


Марфис бокс is proud to announce the return of junior middleweight contender and fan favorite, Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 КО) што ќе го преземе Мани Вудс (16-8-1, 6 КО) во петокот, March 29th at Memorial Hall во Melrose, Масачусетс во 10 круг рунда.


Vendetti, who last summer pulled off a massive upset against former world title challenger,Yoshihiro Kamegai на ESPN2, found himself in the Top 10 rankings and was offered the chance to fight France’s Мишел Soro за 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, Мани Вудс.


Despite the loss, 2018 was an amazing year for me. Се борев 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.


Во ко-главен настан, fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate and Massachusetts fan favorite, Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 КО) 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 Димитриј Андраде WBO world middleweight title fight.


Despite dropping the decision, Kielczweski, who hails from Quincy, Масачусетс, 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 КО).


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 Златни ракавици од Нова Англија наслови.


Fighting a remarkable 8 Времето во 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.
