Rivera shares the outline of his life story. He was born in Hartford in 1990 and spent his childhood bouncing between homes in the area, crashing on friends’ couches when necessary, before landing at an alternative high school in East Hartford. His early years, he said, featured an abusive father and an over-burdened mother, neither of whom could provide a stable home.

From as young as 3 or 4 years old, Rivera found solace in boxing, training at local gyms and fighting against older opponents. He had a knack for the sport, plus a fierce desire to improve. His thick forearms earned him the nickname “Popeye,” and he soon adopted that moniker in the ring, emerging before each fight with a pipe and a sailor’s hat.

Rivera remembers one time as a teenager when he was kicked out of his house and forced to apply for food stamps and other government services.
