Cappiello Signs Two of New England's Top Prospects
Ayala and Oliver are Cappiello's Newest Editions
Brockton,MA- Richie Cappiello announced today that Cappiello Promotions have signed middleweight Elvin Ayala and featherweight Mike Oliver. The 24 year old Ayala , 9-0, (3), will be fighting on April 1st at The Mohegan Sun. The New Haven, CT native had a stellar amateur career and has the talent to be a force in the middleweight division.
"I am looking forward to working with Elvin Ayala and his whole team," said Richie Cappiello. "Elvin has the great work ethic that I look for in a fighter. We are going to go a long way together." Oliver 6-0, (4), is returning to the ring after more than a year layoff. The 25 year old Hartford native was considered by many as a can't miss prospect coming out of the amateurs. His career has been hindered by inactivity but people around Oliver say that he is more motivated than ever. "Mikey Oliver is going to be a force very soon," added Cappiello. "As long as he can stay active he has all the tools to be a great fighter. Look for him to be fighting under the Cappiello Promotions banner very soon."
