WORCESTER, Missa. (Octubre 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” història is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28º “New England Future 4” targeta, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Futur de Nova Anglaterra”, to be held at the DCU Center (Sala d'exposicions) a Worcester, Massachusetts.
“El futur de Nova Anglaterra 4” és presentat per Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), que és propietat i gestionat per tres vegades jubilats, dues divisions campió del món José Antonio Rivera i el seu fill, Anthone (A. J.) Rivera.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Dissabte, October 28th en el DCU Center,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, A. J., and I started RPE. We want to be able to help boxers grow their careers and create a platform for them to get bigger and better opportunities.”
A former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion,història (16-1-1, 15 KOs) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Saül “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KOs) en l'esdeveniment principal de vuit rondes.
història, fighting out of Pembroke (Massachusetts), will move up in weight once again to fight another foreign opponent. In the world of boxing, not only does Carita fight, he’s his own promoter, gerent, trainer and matchmaker. Fora del ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (Massachusetts), as well as a part-time security contractor for the Department of Defense (DOD).
Although his incredibly busy schedule leaves little, if any, downtown to relax, Carita thrives because he’s so dedicated, disciplined and driven. He starts each day at 4 a.m., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 p.m. on a regular basis for a scheduled fight. When he’s had some free time to travel, Vinne has gone to New York, Philadelphia and even Montreal for quality sparring.
He started boxing at seven, when he first walked into a gym, and captured a Southeast Regionals Golden Glove title but, a 14, only boxed sporadically, until he turned pro at 20. “I definitely have a passion for boxing,” the 32-year-old confessed. “I’m a boxing fanatic. Si no estic entrenant, I’m watching fights, live or on television. It’s my love. Boxing will always be part of me and when I finally hang up my gloves, I want to be a referee, so I can still be in the ring, and have the best seat. Jo no vull jutjar. Bigger guys last longer than smaller fighters. I want to continue doing this until by late thirties, maybe early forties.
“I fell in love with the cruiserweight division when I saw the (Vassily) Jirov-(James) Toney lluita (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Oleksandr) Usyk could win the tournament, unifying all four major belts, and then move up to heavyweight. That could be good for me if I was one of the eight fighting for one of the four vacant (major) títols. I’ll look for the right fights until then, against guys who’ve been around and maybe competed for world or regional titles, like my next opponent (Faraff), who is the WBC Latino heavyweight champion.”
història, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 lliura. He walks around at 208 and usually weighs in at 194-196 for his cruiserweight fights. “I have no plans to compete as a heavyweight,” ell va dir. “I’ve fought some heavyweights and it looks better for me to go the distance, or stop, guys much bigger than me. I try and pick the right guys to advance my career.”
 Why has Carita fought so many opponents from countries all over the world? Networking. His job with the DOD, before he started working as a court officer, found him traveling around the world. Wherever he went – Sud-àfrica, Dubai, Irlanda del Nord, etc. – he worked out at boxing gyms and made invaluable connections, establishing working relationships with many managers and matchmakers who he’s remained in contact with throughout his pro boxing career. Because he trains himself, Carita only has one regular person working his corner, Pittsfield (Massachusetts) court officer John Felix, who he first met when they were drill instructors at the academy. Carita adds a cut-man for his fight but he tends to keep things lean and mean, even in his corner.
Nobody knows better or appreciates more what promoter Jose Antonio Rivera accomplished when he was world champion working full-time as a court officer in Worcester.
“To work full-time, raise children, train to be a world-class fighter and become world champion three times speaks volumes about Jose,” Carita commented. “Ara, he’s promoting and putting guys like me on his shows.”
“I understand perfectly how hard and demanding his schedule is working a fulltime job as a court officer and training to try to achieve his goals of fighting for and winning world championship,” Rivera va afegir. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.”
