about
Puerto Rican amateur star Yankiel Rivera signed a multi-fight deal with Eddie Hearn in January 2023 and made his Matchroom debut on the undercard of Amanda Serrano-Erika Cruz in New York a week later, picking up a decision victory to move to 3-0 (2 KOs).
Rivera turned pro in Barranquilla, Colombia in September with a first round KO win and quickly made it two wins inside the distance with a third round KO in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico in November 2022.
The 25-year old, campaigning at Flyweight, was Puerto Rico’s sole representative at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, just one stand out moment from an amateur career that boasted a record of 133-14, winning a host of medals and twice fighting at the World Championships.
