DeLuca is coming off the highest profile win of his career this past October when he fought on the undercard of Деметріус Андраде років world title fight at TD Garden which was shown worldwide on DAZN. DeLuca won a unanimous decision in what was an immediate rematch of the only blemish on his record, a split decision loss to Walter Wright, considered by most in attendance to be a robbery. Now DeLuca finds himself, not only one of the most popular fighters in New England, but also in contention for a world title shot later this year.


“Being in the Top 10 зараз, I know that I’m only a phone call away from a life changing opportunity.”, explains the former Marine turned title contender.


“I’m always in the gym. I’m staying focused. I know I need a good performance against Williams to keep that opportunity alive.”


Having already headlined a Murphys Boxing event on St. День Патріка, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.


“Вулиця. День Патріка. Бостон. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.”


У со-головній події, one of boxing’s favorite characters, Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 КО) will make his return to Boston, where he has amassed a huge following, to take on Worcester, Массачусетс’ Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 КО) in what promises to be an action packed 8 round battle.


The Cork, Ireland native who is promoted by Murphys Boxing in association with Golden Boy Promotions has moved down to the junior middleweight division where he is looking to make a splash in 2019 after finishing last year with a unanimous decision victory in his home country against the 40 fight veteran, Gabor Gorbics.


“Boston is a home away from home for me.”, says the outspoken, handlebar mustached slugger who has fought in the New England area 10 раз.


“Murphys Boxing Saint Patrick’s Day events are not to be missed. The crowd is insane and I’m coming to give them what they wanna see… a fight!”


The night will also feature a who’s who of New England’s hottest young contenders and prospects.


Murphys Boxing’s Charles Foster (17-0, 8 КО) will put his NABA Light Heavyweight Championship title on the line in a 10 round bout against Chicago’s Mike Jimenez (22-1-2, 14 КО).


The New Haven, Connecticut based Foster is a world ranked contender (#10 в WBA) and is fresh off a national television appearance last year when he beat the previously undefeated, Елвін Varmall, Молодший. на Час Для Шоу. He will face one of his toughest challenges yet against the dangerous, power punching, Jimenez whose only loss came to two-time world title challenger, Джессі Харт.


Revere, Массачусетс’ favorite son, Travis Mazac Gambardella (5-0-2, 2 КО), who trains out of the popular, KnuckleHeadz Gym in Ventura, Каліфорнія, will return home to try and extend his undefeated record against fellow Boston area fighter, Maceo Crowder (2-2, 1 KO) в 6 round middleweight contest.


South Boston’s Joe Farina (4-1, 3 КО), who last fought against Gambardella, dropping a razor close majority decision on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade’s middleweight title fight at TD Garden, will look to get back in the winning column in a four round welterweight rematch against New Jersey’s Стів Мур (1-6, 1 KO) who lost a split decision to Farina last year.


In keeping with the holiday’s theme, there will be an all Irish grudge match when Lucan, Ірландії John Joyce (7-0, 4 КО) travels to America to take on Cork, Ірландії Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 КО), who is now based in New York City, in an 8 round welterweight clash that has Irish pride on the line.


The night will be kicked off by the highly anticipated professional debut of Mansfield, Massachusetts welterweight, Джеймс Perella. The decorated amateur fighter will turn proagainst Woburn, Массачусетс’ Bruno Dias (0-5) в 4 round contest.


“Санкт. Patrick’s Day Clash is my favorite promotion of the year and one that our fighters and fans really look forward to.”, explains, Murphys Boxing founder and Dropkick Murphys frontman, Ken Casey.


“The atmosphere that’s created when you put boxing on in a general admission, standing room only concert venue, let alone on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, creates a unique and intense experience.”


As for the incredibly busy and successful year the promotional company is coming off of, Casey, who will also play 4 consecutive shows with Dropkick Murphys the same week at the same venue, is even more excited about what the new year holds.


“2018 was a breakout year for Murphys Boxing but with contenders like Mark DeLuca and Charles Foster in the position for world title shots later this year and a slew of undefeated prospects on the verge of world rankings, not to mention multiple cards already planned, 2019 will take Murphys Boxing to a whole new level.”

THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) and Jose Antonio Rivera

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 КО), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Триразовий, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Коваль (10-38-1, 7 КО) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

В кінці кінців, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Я прекрасно себе почуваю. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

 

 

 

“I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional

 

 

 

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 КО) і Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 КО) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Вільфредо “Sucaro” язичник (5-0, 3 КО) залишився непереможеним, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Валенсуела (11-15, 3 КО) три рази, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), of Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.

 

 

 

Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Брайан “The Brick” Авраам (6-31-2, 6 КО) в два рази в другому турі, на шляху до одноголосним рішенням перемогу.

Чемпіон повернувся!
Серпня 17 в The Palladium в Вустере, Массачусетс
“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

Вустер, Маса. (Липня 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Хосе Рівера returns to the ring August 17 в заголовку “Повернення на батьківщину”, представлений Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), в The Palladium в Вустере, Массачусетс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Рівера (41-6-1, 24 КО) has already lost more than 30 фунти, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 КО) у головній події восьми раундів.

 

 

 

В 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO в) World welterweight title, зупинка Gilberto Flores у другому турі. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, рідний улюблений Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Алехандро Гарсія(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. Гей-Джей, and I talking about chasing history,” Рівера пояснив. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17ї show.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”

 

 

 

Акції гранітного підборіддя’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns доданої, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Я воював у 49 років, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Кріс (Траєтті, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Чи не, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 років потому. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Зараз, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 а про, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17ї opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Заб Джуда, Хуліо Сезар Чавес-, Молодший., Jorge Paez і Пол Спадафора.

 

 

 

“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“І, звичайно, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”

 

 

 

The name of the event is “Повернення на батьківщину” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

В середньому Kendrick Ball, Молодший. (9-1-2, 6 КО) and junior middleweight Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 КО), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be fighting at home in Worcester as pros for the first time in a pair of six-round bouts.

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in four-round bouts are Springfield, М. А. у напівсередній вазі Jose Angel “KO” Ортіс (4-13-1, 1 KO) проти. сет Basler (0-8) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta проти. Worcester’s Едвін Росадо (1-7-1, 1 KO), Southbridge, М.

Вустер, Маса. (Липня 19, 2018) – Акції гранітного підборіддя (GCP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ) hosted a press conference yesterday at The Ballot Box in Worcester, Массачусетс, to make a major announcement, as well as introduce local fighters on the August 17їpro boxing card at The Palladium in Worcester.

 

 

 

Триразовий, Два-чемпіон світу “Gallo” Хосе Антоніо Рівера (41-6-1, 24 КО) is making his return in the “Making History” головна подія, in large part because he wanted to fight on the same card as his son, A.J. Рівера, who was to become the first pro boxer who was born with Spina Bifida. Гей-Джей, who is a rising matchmaker in New England, was unable to get medically cleared in time and he will not be fighting Aug. 17.

 

 

 

The event has been renamed, “Повернення на батьківщину”, because six of the competing fighters, including Jose Antonio Rivera, live in Worcester.

 

 

 

“На жаль,” announced promoter Chuck Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with Кріс Траєтті, “A.J. isn’t fighting on this show because he couldn’t get medically cleared in time.”

 

 

 

“I trained hard and was within five or six pounds of my contract weight,” a disappointed A.J. Рівера пояснив. “I passed all of the medical tests except for the CATSCAN. I fought the doctor a little and said I wanted a second opinion. Those results won’t be in time, so I can’t fight on this card.”

 

 

 

“The reason I’m coming back was to make history with my son,” Jose Antonio Rivera added. “We had talked about it a long time but, на жаль, it wasn’t meant to be for A.J. for this card. He’s already part of history already as the only fighter born with Spina Bifida who fought as an amateur. I feel bad, but everything happens for a reason and as a father, my son’s safety always comes first. He will continue to be an important part of our team to make our company a success. People are thrown curveballs in life like this and we’ve regrouped to turn this into a positive. We’re still fighting for the cause (Spina Bifida).”

 

 

 

Зараз 45 років, Rivera has already lost more than 30 фунти, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 КО).

В середньому Kendrick Ball, Молодший. (9-1-2, 6 КО) and junior middleweight Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 КО), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be making their pro debuts at home in Worcester. Ball faces an opponent to be determined in the six-round co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 КО) відповідає Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 КО), of Brockton, Массачусетс, also in a six rounder.

 

 

 

Undefeated light heavyweight prospect Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера (8-0, 7 КО), fighting out of Hartford, Коннектикут, is slated to fight in a six-round bout vs. TBA, as well as his stable mate, two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “Обраний” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO), who takes on his Mexican opponent, Еммануель “Pollo” Valadez (5-4, 4 КО), in a four-round match.

Прес-конференція Котирування

 

Joe Antonio Rivera: “I want to thank everybody for coming. Tomorrow is four weeks to the weigh in. It’s an important date because fighting is easy, making weight isn’t. I want to thank Granite Chin Promotions

 

 

 

“Four Worcester fighters (М'яч, Gray, Irizarry and Owusu) on this card have never fought here. It’s huge having Kendrick and Khiary on this card and I’d like to thank CES Boxing for allowing them to fight here. I’m proud of Kendrick and Khiary and excited to have them fighting on this show. Chuck and Granite Chin are running this show, I’m only focused on my opponent.

 

 

 

“I’m excited to have an opponent who is coming to fight. He’s my third opponent, but that’s part of boxing. Я тренувався, passed my medicals, and it’s like I’m hungry again. I haven’t fought in years, but I’ve taken good care of my body. I didn’t visualize doing this at 45. I’ve also heard that, after August 17ї, there’s a possibility of a title for me by the end of this year.”

 

Chuck Shearns (GCP co-promoter): “I’m honored to be involved in this show. Jose and I have been friends for years. Months ago, this all started with a text conversation (Chuck, Jose and A.J.). A week later, it started getting serious, and then we had Jose and A.J. fighting on this card. На жаль, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”

 

Джиммі Берчфілд (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (М'яч) and Khiary to fight on this card. I’ve had a good relationship with Chuck and I’ve known Jose and A.J., who worked for me, for a long time. Nothing was happening in Worcester boxing for years, until Jose and A.J. started promoting here, but Worcester has always been a good fight town. All the fighters here will be proud of your victory. This is beautiful! They’ve been around him and know what he’s accomplished in life. Jose has never abused his body, he’s taken good care of himself.

 

 

 

“We (CES Boxing) had an event scheduled August 17ї at Twin River (Lincoln, Род-Айленд), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17ї on Worcester. How could I not have my Worcester fighters on Jose Rivera’s comeback card? ‘Pepper’ and Khiary really wanted to fight on this card. These kids (fighters seated at head table) look up to Jose for what he’s done and in life and his comeback is a really big story. I know what ‘Pepper” and Khiary are going to do and I know what Jose is going to do because he’s a veteran. I believe this will be a sell out!”

 

Kendrick Ball, Молодший: “I want to thank my promoter, Джиммі Берчфілд, for giving me the okay to fight on this card. I also want to thank Granite Chin Promotions and Rivera Promotions Entertainment. I’ve waited for this a long time. This fight will give me a chance to redeem myself and show why I’m the next great middleweight to come out of Worcester. I’m ready to get it on.”

 

Khiary Gray: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment, CES Boxing and Granite Chin Promotions for giving me a chance to fight at home for the first time. This is a rematch for me. I stopped him in the first round, but there was some controversy. I know he’s coming to fight.”

 

Eslih Owusi: “I just graduated from high school and I wasn’t going to turn pro until after that. Fighting as a pro will be much more exciting than in the amateurs.”

 

Jose Angel Ortiz: “Я дуже радий. I haven’t fought in two years. I was supposed to return before, but things didn’t work out. I never left boxing because I’m in the gym all the time working out or training other fighters. Jose and I are both in our forties. We’re going to show everybody that we can still fight.”

 

Едвін Росадо: “I will try and put on the best show I can.”

 

Joshua Orta: “I’m very happy about my first pro fight. I’ve dreamed of this day. Everybody is going to see an exciting card. I love this sport and always train hard.”
