Richie “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera is gracing us with his illustrious presence back in the quaint town of Uncasville, CT, for a good old fashioned showdown at the Mohegan Sun Arena on April 6, 2024. It’s not every day that a prodigal son, who’s dabbled in everything from football to synchronized swimming (or so it seems), decides to return to his roots for a bout. And who’s waiting for him? None other than the undefeated, the unparalleled, Mathew “The Wise Man” Obinna straight from Lagos, Nigeria, with a staggering 23-0 record.
Mr. DeGuardia himself is practically giddy with excitement, promising an evening filled with entertainment both inside and outside the ring. And let’s not overlook the golden opportunity this fight represents for Rivera to inch closer to a major title fight. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see our beloved Popeye swing his way to victory?
Tickets start at the bargain price of $40, which is a small price to pay for witnessing this spectacle of muscle and might. And for those who simply can’t get enough, Star Boxing is also throwing in not one, not two, but four “Rockin’ Fights” at the Paramount. Because clearly, the only thing better than a night of boxing is… more nights of boxing.
