VinnieAmerican NightmareCarita boxes in his own unique way

Հոկտեմբեր 28 է Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Զանգված. (Հոկտեմբեր 12, 2017) – Once-beaten VinnieAmerican DreamCarita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28րդNew England Future 4” քարտ, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “New England ապագան”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) է Worcester, Մասաչուսեթս.
New England’s Future 4is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, Երկու քաշային կարգերում աշխարհի չեմպիոն Խոսե Անտոնիո Rivera եւ նրա որդին,, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Շաբաթ, Հոկտեմբերի 28-ին ին DCU կենտրոնում,” 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,Carita (16-1-1, 15 Նոկաուտով) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Saul “El Fenjx AsesinoFaraff (64-23-3, 56 Նոկաուտով) in the eight-round main event.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (MA), 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, Մենեջեր, trainer and matchmaker. Outside of the ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (MA), 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 ի սահմաններում., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 կեսօրից. 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, ի 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. If I’m not training, 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. Ես չեմ ուզում են դատել. 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 (Վասիլի) Jirov-(James) Toney կռիվ (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Օլեքսանդր) 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) վերնագրեր. 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.
Carita, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 ֆունտ. 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,” - ասել է նա. “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 – Հարավային Աֆրիկա, Dubai, Հյուսիսային Իռլանդիա, եւ այլն. – 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 (MA) 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. “Այժմ, 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 added. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.
