WORCESTER, Hmota. (August 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Sobota) na titulok “Návrat domov, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, The Palladium vo Worcesteri, Massachusetts.
The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KO), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Three-time, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Kovář (10-38-1, 7 KO) 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.
Konečne, 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. Cítim sa skvele. 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, ale myslím ešte na jeden súboj, urobiť to 50 pre svoju profesionálnu kariéru).”

Populárny Ball bojoval doma prvýkrát ako profesionál

WORCESTER, Hmota. (Júl 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jozef Rivera returns to the ring August 17 na titulok “Návrat domov”, v podaní Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) v spolupráci s Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), The Palladium vo Worcesteri, Massachusetts.
Ten 45-ročný Rivera (41-6-1, 24 KO) has already lost more than 30 libier, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Moderný bojovník” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 KO) v osemkolovom hlavnom turnaji.
V 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, zastavenie Gilberto Flores v druhom kole. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, rodné mesto obľúbená Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Majstrovstvá sveta vo welterovej váhe, v ktorom Rivera vyhral 12-kolové rozhodnutie a opasok.
Takmer pred 10,000 fanúšikov rodného mesta vo Worcestri, Rivera zavŕšil svoju boxerskú kariéru víťazstvom v 12-kolovom jednomyseľnom rozhodnutí 2006 nad obhajcom titulu Alejandro Garcia(25-1) o titul WBA v super welterovej váhe.
“Myšlienka vrátiť sa do ringu začala u môjho syna. A.J., a hovorím o prenasledovaní histórie,” Rivera je vysvetlené. “Momentálne to nevieme dať dokopy (A.J. sa narodil s rázštepom chrbtice a nebol schopný zabezpečiť lekárske vyšetrenie včas do augusta. 17th šou.), ale kvôli mojej tvrdej práci za posledných šesť mesiacov, Cítil som, že je vhodné pokračovať v boji.
“Propagácia Granite Chin bola veľmi nápomocná pri zabezpečení toho, aby bola táto show zostavená čo najprofesionálnejším spôsobom. Nemyslím si, že naša propagačná spoločnosť (Jos a A.J. vlastní a prevádzkuje RPE Promotions Entertainment) by to bol schopný zvládnuť. Museli sa uskutočniť všetky rokovania a ja som trénoval jediný spôsob, ako viem, na majstrovskej úrovni, bolo by toho príliš veľa, aby sme to zvládli.”
Akcie na žulu bradu’ spolupromotér Chuck Shearns pridaný, “Keď sme sa s Josem začali rozprávať o návrate jeho prsteňa, Bol som posledný, kto si myslel, že sa zbláznil. Boli sme priatelia počas jeho majstrovských dní a viem, aký je Jose neuveriteľne odhodlaný a disciplinovaný. Bojoval som u 49 rokov, aby som sa neporovnával s úrovňou, na ktorej bol Jose, ale viem, že sa to dá. Každý by mal vedieť, ako dobre sa o seba Jose staral počas svojej tridsiatky a štyridsiatky. Myslel som si to niekedy? Chris (Traietti, spolupromotér GCP) a ja by som bol spolupropagátorom Joseho comebacku? Do Not, ale som rád, že môžem byť zapojený a budem ho podporovať, pokiaľ to bude chcieť. Trénoval ako on 25 a Jose prekvapí niektorých ľudí.”
Počas vlády Riveraho titulu, na rozdiel od iných majstrov sveta, zastával tiež prácu na plný úväzok ako súdny úradník v Massachusetts Trial Court, pozíciu vo Worcestri, ktorú si stále drží 17 rokov neskôr. Medzi prácou a tréningom, nezabúda na jeho rodinné povinnosti, Josemu sa akosi darí všetko vo svojom mimoriadne rušnom živote vybalansovať.
“Povedzme, že to vedie k nabitému programu,” poznamenal Rivera. “Som odhodlaný postarať sa o svoju rodinu a urobím všetko, čo bude potrebné. Pred prácou väčšinou behávam a po práci trénujem. Začať skoro a skončiť neskoro znamená rušné dni, ale prácu treba dokončiť. Práve teraz, Som uprostred najťažšieho obdobia tréningu. Týždeň boja je skôr o psychickej príprave a priberaní. Počas týždňa boja nemôžete urobiť nič, čo by vám pomohlo dostať sa do lepšej formy.”
Rivera si nerobí ilúzie, že jeho comeback povedie k ďalšiemu veľkému svetovému titulu. V pláne je, že bude mať ešte dva súboje, aby dosiahol súčet 50 ako pre, ale berie veci jeden boj za druhým, a stále dúfa v ďalší boj, predbežne naplánované na koniec tohto roka, bude na rovnakej karte ako profesionálny debut jeho syna.
Rivera naposledy bojoval 2011, prijatie osemkolového rozhodnutia Paul Mpendo, v Mohegan Sun Arena v Connecticute. Bojom preverený Galvan, jeho aug. 17th súpera z Indiany, bojoval s ďalšími majstrami sveta, Počítajúc do toho Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez a Paul Spadafora.
“Počul som, že prichádza bojovať a že sa rád trochu poblázni, aby sa pokúsil dostať do hlavy svojho súpera,” dodal Rivera. Sústredil som sa na seba, moje načasovanie a zameranie sa na herný plán
“Tréning na tento boj bol viac mentálny ako čokoľvek iné. Bol som schopný dosiahnuť špičkový výkon pri 45 trénovať ako v najlepších rokoch. Najdôležitejšie je, že, pracovať s mojím trénerom Sean Fitzgerald, Zameral som sa na to, aby sa moje načasovanie zlepšilo, pretože uplynulo sedem rokov, čo som naposledy bojoval.
“A, samozrejme, Je to vždy skvelý pocit boxovať pred fanúšikmi môjho rodného mesta. Ich podpora je vždy ocenená.”
Názov podujatia je “Návrat domov” pretože šesť bojovníkov v akcii je z Worcesteru, vrátane troch, ktorí tam nikdy predtým nebojovali ako profesionáli.
Middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 KO) a juniorskej strednej váhy Khiary Greyová (15-4, 11 KO), obe propagované CES Boxing, bude bojovať doma vo Worcesteri ako profíci po prvý raz v dvojici šesťkolových súbojov.

A.J., who is a rising matchmaker in New England, was unable to get medically cleared in time and he will not be fighting Aug. 17.

“Bohužiaľ,” announced promoter Chuck Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with Chris Traietti, “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. Rivera je vysvetlené. “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, bohužiaľ, 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).”
Teraz 45 rokov, Rivera has already lost more than 30 libier, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against Ruben “Moderný bojovník” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 KO).

Middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 KO) a juniorskej strednej váhy Khiary Greyová (15-4, 11 KO), obe propagované 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, zatiaľ čo Gray (15-4, 11 KO) spĺňa Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 KO), z Brocktonu, MA, also in a six rounder.
Undefeated light heavyweight prospect richard “Pepek Námorník Man” Rivera (8-0, 7 KO), fighting out of Hartford, CT, is slated to fight in a six-round bout vs. TBA, as well as his stable mate, two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “Vyvolený” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO), who takes on his Mexican opponent, Emmanuel “Pollo” Valadez (5-4, 4 KO), in a four-round match.

TLAČOVÁ KONFERENCIA quotes
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 (Guľa, 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. Ja som trénoval, 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 17th, there’s a possibility of a title for me by the end of this year.”
Chuck Shearns (spolupromotér GCP): “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. Bohužiaľ, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”
Jimmy Burchfield (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (Guľa) 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 17th at Twin River (Lincoln, RI), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17th 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, Jr.: “I want to thank my promoter, Jimmy Burchfield, 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 Greyová: “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: “Som veľmi nadšený. 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.”
Edwin Rosado: “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.”

WORCESTER, Hmota. (Jún 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, dve divízie majster sveta “Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera and his pro-debuting son, A.J. Rivera, because they will be “Making History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, August 17 at The Palladium.
Rivera and his son, príslušne, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which will co-promote “Making History” with Granite Chin Promotions (GCP).
“We are excited to be teaming up with GCP for this historic boxing event,” Jose commented. “We have had the pleasure of working with Chris (Traietti) and Chuck (Shearns) in the past. We are grateful that they are able to work with us again to make sure we put together a great boxing event.”
The Riveras will become the first world-champion father-son combination to fight on a pro show that is promoted by their company. More significantly, A.J. will become the first pro boxer to be born with Spina Bifida.
Teraz 45 rokov, Rivera is making his second comeback, but this time it’s solely to fight on the same card as his son. Due to a variety of reasons, “Gallo” retired from the ring in 2008, but he came back in 2011 for two fights, both victories, before hanging up his gloves again.
V 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, zastavenie Gilberto Flores v druhom kole. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, rodné mesto obľúbená Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Majstrovstvá sveta vo welterovej váhe, v ktorom Rivera vyhral 12-kolové rozhodnutie a opasok.
O dva zápasy neskôr, in front of nearly 10,000 fanúšikov rodného mesta vo Worcestri, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion Alejandro Garcia (25-1) o titul WBA v super welterovej váhe.
“I am boxing at 45 years old because of this great opportunity that has arisen for my son and I,” Jose explained. “Boxing on the same card with my son is going to be exciting and, even more so, because we will be a part of history! I am fortunate to be healthy, fyzicky, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 libier, so far, and need to lose 12 more to make the 160-pound weight class.
“I am not sure how the night of the fight is going to go. I play it in my head over and over about how I would like it to go, ale nakoniec, I’m confident we will both be ready for tough fights because of the hard work we’re both putting in at the gym.
“Fan response has been good, positive and supportive of what we both are doing and attempting to accomplish. To look back at the day I was told my son was going to be born with Spina Bifida, preparing myself mentally for the worse, a teraz 25 years later here we are close to fulfilling his childhood dream. It’s amazing! I feel blessed to share this moment with my son. I am also happy that we can do this in front of our family, priatelia & fans in our City of Worcester, where my son was born, and I was raised since I moved there when I was 16.”
On Aug. 17, Rivera will face battle-tested middleweight Ryan “Dangerous” Davis (24-19, 9 KO), fighting out of East Saint Louis, Illinois, v osemkolovom hlavnom turnaji. Davis has been in with the iron, including six-time, dve divízie majster sveta Zab Judah, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) majster sveta Ishe Smith, two-time world title challenger and 2004 US Olympian Vances Martirosyan, world titul challenger Jonathan Reid, reigning International Boxing Association (IBA) world junior middleweight champion Mark DeLuca, plus other notables such as Rob Brant, Mikael Zewski, Carlos Bojorquez a Dominik Britsch.
Twenty-five-year-old A.J. will fight an opponent to be determined in a four-round welterweight match. He is a graduate of Johnson & Wales with a major in sports management, who has quickly become one of the most respected matchmakers in New England.
A.J. grew-up in a gym, watching his father train, and he also fought as an amateur boxer. “I’ve always wanted to fight as a pro and what better way than to make my pro debut on the same card headlined by my pops,” Povedal Rivera. “This is a one and done, I’m not going to box as a career and, hopefully I will leave the ring on August 17th and retire undefeated. I plan to make matchmaking a career. I can stay in the sport I’ve always loved and matchmake for our company and for other promoters.
“I was born with Spina Bifida. A layer of skin covered a hole in my back, preventing water from getting in, which would have damaged my system and left me paralyzed, unable to speak and with a shunt in my head to drain fluid. The doctors told my parents that, if I survived, I’d only live to be 19, in a wheelchair and a little autistic. I had surgery the next day and my pops kept hope. As I got older, I played basketball, futbal, baseball and boxed. I was inactive for seven years when I went away to school and started matchmaking.”
In addition to sacrificing to make weight, instead of having a Father’s Day cookout, he watched what he ate and, samozrejme, workout with his father in the gym to prepare for his pro debut.
“I wasn’t able to celebrate my 25th anniversary on June 2 či už,” A.J. pridaný. “I plan to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day when I step out of the ring on August 17th. Potom, I’ll go back to focusing on my craft and become a full-time matchmaker.”

WORCESTER, Hmota. (Marec 20, 2017) – The long trip back begins April 1st pre Matt “Ostrý strelec” Remillard, 12 years to the day from his professional debut, na “New England’s Future 2” show at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Remillard (23-1, 13 KO), fighting out of Manchester, Connecticut, hasn’t boxed for the six years, kvôli nemu vo výkone päťročného trestu odňatia slobody. He takes on Lawrence (MA) ľahká váha Augustine “Nemilosrdný” Maura (6-1-3, 3 KO) in the eight-round co-feature. If their tense, near volatile stare-down at a recent press conference is a true indication, Remillard vs. Mauras is not going the distance, to put things mildly.
New England’s Future 2″ is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, dve divízie majster sveta Jose Antonio Rivera a jeho syn, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“I am excited to have a boxer of Remillard’s caliber on our ‘New England’s Future 2’ box udalosť,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “He has a tough match against August time Mauras for his first fight back. Knowing Remillard, hoci, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank Matt, Paul Cichon (Hlava tréner) and their team for trusting Rivera Promotions Entertainment for Matt’s first boxing match back from his long layoff.”
Remillard is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) Spojené štáty americké & Youth World, North American Boxing Federation (NABF) a Svetová boxová organizácia (WBO) šampión perovej váhy. His lone pro loss came in his last fight, Marec 23, 2011 in Atlantic City to then rising star Mikey Garcia (24-0), when Remillard retired after 11 kolesá. He won’t make excuses; však, he never should have taken the fight with Garcia, facing the impending court case that sent him to prison and working with a new head trainer he’d only met two weeks prior to the fight.
“I’m confident I can get back to where I was in about a year,” the 30-year-old Remillard said. “A dream come true would be a rematch with Garcia, at any weight, but I have to earn that shot. Everybody wants a rematch with the guy who gave you the first loss. It seldom happens but, Ak nie je uvedené, in time I believe there will be other big fights out there for me.
“I’m fighting an opponent who fought by buddy, Chip Perez, trikrát (0-2-1), so I’m familiar with his style. He doesn’t back down. I don’t expect him to back down against me…until he feels my power. I’m going to take out those five years that I was away on him. I’ve been through so much the last six year but I’m most comfortable in the gym. The past is past and this is my last run. Paul and I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of.”
Seventeen years ago, Chicon first met Remillard at the Manchester PAL gym, but he made the 13-year-old aspiring boxer earn his opportunity to be trained. Paul made Matt clean the bathrooms, take care of spit buckets, etc. before he started training him.
“When he returned to the gym a few months back, I saw that his work ethic hadn’t faded,” Cichon commented. “I don’t believe he’s really that far away from where he was six years ago. He was idle five years but his first day back he sparred 12 kolesá. He stayed in good physical shape and is hungrier than ever. He thinks he has something to prove after his last fight, but he really doesn’t have anything to prove to me or anybody else. He is fighting a tough kid but Matt’s going to be victorious. I think in four or five more fights he’ll be back where he was in boxing.”
