The winner of each 140-pound bout will position himself for a world title shot, none more significantly than in the main event, where the winner will earn the mandatory position to face reigning IBF Champ, Ричардсън Hitchins.

Also announced today, making his anticipated professional debut is Puerto Rico’sYandiel Lozano and Salita Promotions promising heavyweight prospectPryce Taylor (6-0, 4 Нокаута) от Бруклин, N.Y..

Returning to Puerto Rico for the second time in five months, Salita Promotions has continued to explore the rich boxing talent residing on the island, much like the company has done the past two years in the state of Michigan. With a proven track record of discovering talent throughout the greater Detroit and Flint, Mich., region, Salita Promotions PresidentДмитрий Salitacontinues to give up-and-coming and rising talent a global platform to perform.

“We provided a path and platform for many fighters to earn recognition and achieve their dreams,“, каза Дмитрий Салита. “From solidified world champions like Claressa Shields to budding stars like Ardreal Holmes Jr., Salita Promotions continues to mine for the next super stars of boxing throughout Michigan and now we are doing the same in Puerto Rico. Stars from the Caribbean Island such asМигел Кото, Феликс Тринидад, иJuan ‘John John’ Molina have all paved the way for the prospects we will be showcasing on March 1.”

The co-main event will see the WBO NABO Jr. Welterweight Title on the line as Santiago, who hails from the Dominican Republic, meets fellow countrymanJavier Fortuna(39-5, 28 Нокаута). Santiago, 30, returns to the ring on the heels of a statement first-round TKO victory over Mexico’s Pedro Campa in November 2024. Currently on the strength of three straight victories, Santiago captured the WBO NABO Jr. Welterweight Title last June when he defeated Angel Fierro via unanimous decision, and on March 1, Santiago will attempt to defend his title for the third time. Starting his impressive career off with an undefeated record of 12-0, Santiago earned a shot against former Undisputed Lightweight World Champion Devin Haney for the WBC Lightweight World Championship in November 2019. While coming up short, Santiago has proven that he belongs in the upper echelon of the Jr. Welterweight Division.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase the level I am at,” said Santiago. “I have worked hard, I’m in my best shape, and on March 1 в Фахардо, I’m going to give it my all in the ring. I respect Javier Fortuna, but he will find out that he’s facing a true warrior. I’m ready for any version of him that shows up in front of my people in Fajardo. I’m going to go to war and take the victory.”

Entering his second bout in just over two months, the 35-year-old Fortuna will compete in Puerto Rico for the first time. Like his opponent, Fortuna is coming off an impressive TKO victory defeating Jonatan Mariano in December 2024. Boasting a staggering 28 нокаута на името си, Fortuna held the WBC Continental Americas Lightweight Title in 2019 and challenged former IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Joseph Diaz in 2021 for the WBC Interim Lightweight World Title.

В допълнение, undefeated Nestor Bravoand South Africa’sИзвинете се на Ндонгени(32-6, 19 Нокаута) will collide for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Jr. Welterweight Title. Hailing from Arecibo, P.R., Bravo will return to action after nearly a year away from the ring. В последния си излет, Bravo scored a second-round knockout victory over Carlos Manuel Portillo. Following a decorated amateur career with numerous national and international tournament wins, Bravo turned professional in 2015 when he defeated Nestor Ortiz via knockout. Previously holding the WBC Latino Lightweight Title and the WBO NABO Super Lightweight Title, Bravo pursues another belt when he faces his toughest test to date in Ndongeni.

Recently challenging for the vacant WBO Latino Lightweight Title, Ndongeni looks to insert himself back into the win column against Bravo. A tenured competitor, Ndongeni has held the WBF International Featherweight Title, IBO International Lightweight Title, and WBF Lightweight Title. With ample experience against undefeated prospects, Ndongeni aims to give the rising Bravo his first defeat.

Kicking off the night live on DAZN and in a quick turnaround, Brooklyn, N.Y.’s Pryce Taylor returns to action against Arizona’sTrevor Kotara(4-3-1, 1 KO) following his second-round knockout victory over Jerell Nettles on February 2. A promising heavyweight prospect, Taylor signed with Salita Promotions in November 2024, and has since gone 2-0 under the banner, both victories coming by way of knockout. Standing at 6-foot-4, Taylor is a former collegiate basketball player and has won two New York Golden Gloves title.

И накрая, Puerto Rico’s own Yandiel Lozano will make his much-anticipated professional debut. The silver medalist at the World Youth Championships, a four-time champion of the Bert Sugar Tournament, Florida Junior Silver Gloves champion, and two-time Puerto Rican National Champion, Lozano steps into the star-studded featherweight division after a solid amateur career.

“Fajardo is filled with pride as it welcomes home two of its greatest warriors of the ring,” said José Aníbal Meléndez, Mayor Autonomous Municipality of Fajardo. “Subriel Matías, born and raised in our town, returns to the ring to once again prove why he is one of the most outstanding figures in world boxing. Alongside him, another great champion from Fajardo, Alfredo ‘Ojo’ Santiago, will be defending his title, proudly representing our city. For Fajardo, this event is not just a sporting spectacle but a celebration of the determination, дисциплина, and talent that define our athletes.”

Боксът спаси живота на двудивизионния световен шампион "Ел Гало" Хосе Антонио Ривера

Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Юни 4, 2020) - Както много боксьори, две разделение световен шампион "El Gallo" Хосе Антонио Ривера кредитира бокса за спасяването на живота му.

„Абсолютно,Ривера се съгласи. „След като майка ми почина, когато аз бях 10 възраст, Отказах се от живота и вземането на решения отразява това: да се мотаете с грешна тълпа, включително членове на бандата, консумация на алкохол на възраст между 10 и 15. Определено вървях в грешната посока.

„Никога не съм мислил, че имам бъдеще, докато не започнах да се бокс. Трудно е да се каже какво бих правил, ако никога не бях боксирал, но между другото живеех, Вероятно вече щях да съм в затвора или мъртъв. "

Роден във Филаделфия, Ривера е живял в Пуерто Рико и Спрингфийлд, MA, преди той да се премести в Уорчестър, MA, където срещна човек, който помогна да промени живота му, Carlos Garcia, който отговаряше за специална програма по бокс в Worcester Boys & Girls Club.

Ривера беше започнал да се боксира на възраст от 14 ½ в мазе с приятеля си, Феликс Лопес.  Беше се влюбил в бокса, след като го гледашеRoberto Duran разстроен„Захар“ Рей Леонард в първата им битка. Младият американец от Пуерто Рико специално използва своя любителски бокс опит, за да се подготви за професионалните редици. Гарсия, който е в Националната зала на славата на златните ръкавици, постави го в мач за начинаещи само след една аматьорска битка, за да изведе Ривера на бързата писта, защото разбираше, че Ривера мечтае да стане световен шампион като професионалист. Ривера завърши с 35-15 любителски запис, подчертано с представяне с бронзов медал на PAL Nationals.

„Никога не съм имал големи аматьорски стремежи, но, разбира се, Исках да спечеля всяка битка, в която се състезавах,- каза Ривера. „Веднъж не се класирах за олимпийските изпитания, моят план беше да стана професионалист. Не знаех доколко аматьорите ще ме подготвят за успешен професионален боксьор. Радвам се, че слушах моите треньори, иначе щях да стана професионалист по-рано, защото щях да се разочаровам от политиката на аматьорите. Мразех да губя, но мразех да губя още повече, когато знаех, че е трябвало да спечеля. След три години заедно (с Гарсия) в аматьорите и натрупване на богат опит от пътуване из цяла Нова Англия, страната и дори воюване в Канада, Видях всички видове стилове и талантливи боксьори, които ми помогнаха като професионалист. Карлос е като бащина фигура за мен и по време на всички наши тренировки и пътувания, той винаги беше в главата ми, изграждайки ме да стана добър боксьор, но и да ми помогне да стана по-добър човек.

“Попай” returns to the South this Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina

Оставете коментар

ХАРТФОРД, Кон. (Февруари 18, 2019) – Непобеждаван перспектива Ричард “Попай Моряка” Rivera returns to the South this Saturday night (Февруари. 23) in another “stay busy” fight on the “Christy Martin Fight Night” карта, presented by Christy Martin Promotions, at Centerstage@Noda in Charlotte, North Carolina.


През ноември миналата година 30тата, Rivera fought in Charlotte for the first time, knocking out local favorite Joshua Robertson in the sixth round. On Feb. 23 he will face veteran Mexican fighter Jose “Olimpico” Corral (20-23, 12 Нокаута) in a scheduled six-round bout to be contested at a 187-pound catch-weight.

The Puerto Rican-American fighter didn’t have many supporters last time around but, based on his impressive performance, he won some fans over to his side, and he fully intends to add more this trip.

“Fighting there the first time was an interesting experience,” Rivera said. “I had some mixed emotions, but the fans there showed me a lot of love. People came up to me after the fight saying how much they enjoyed watching me fight. It was a good experience for me. I beat up a local fighter, but they want me back, and I’m going there to get the job done again.

“The plan is for me to have more fights this year to increase my ring experience. I feel more confident each fight. All I’m lacking is experience in big fights and that’s coming. The more confident I become in the ring helps me focus better on what I’m doing in there.

“I’ve had a few obstacles along the way, but I love boxing and fighting as ‘Popeye’. I wake up every morning ready to go.”

Rivera (9-0, 8 Нокаута), the reigning Universal Boxing Federation (маточния кръвен поток) All America light heavyweight champion, is part of a trio that formed Hartford Boxing Promotions (HBP) миналата година, which also includes Rivera’s manager/head trainer Тони Уайт and their other partner, Майкъл Тран.

Blanco noted that this fight for Rivera has added importance. “We’re talking to a big promoter about a deal to co-promote Richard,” Blanco explained. “Така, he has to look good February 23RD in Charlotte. He has the right combination of talent and marketability that fans love.

“Going to Charlotte to fight the first time was a good experience. They liked and respected him so much that he’s heading back by popular demand. We really love Christy, to be honest. She has already asked if Richard would fight on a card that she’s promoting in March in Jacksonville, Florida.”

Martin feels the same way about Team Rivera. “He’s an awesome kid,” she added. “He’s talented, a solid pro in the ring, and very charismatic outside the ring. Fans here love him as a fighter and person. I’ve been saying ‘Popeye’ is coming back and fans here are excited.

“And now he’s stepped out of his comfort zone, fighting outside of New England, in front of different crowds, and against fighters with different styles The sky’s the limit for him. I think he’s the real deal.”

Билетите са на цена от $70.00 (ринга) и $35.00 (general admission and available to purchase at the venue.

Вратите отварят в 6 p.m. ET with the first bout scheduled to start at 7 p.m. И.

Всички битки и бойци са обект на промяна.
