Oliver Eyes USBA Title For Hartford

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Undefeated Hartford, Connecticut junior-featherweight Mike "Machine" Oliver (16-0, 7 KO's) challenges for the vacant USBA title Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Casino, when he squares off against California's Adam Carrera (18-1, 8 KO's) in the evening's main event. For Oliver, who first entered a Hartford boxing gym at the tender age of 5, Saturday night is the next big step in his ultimate quest to becoming a world champion. "When I beat Carrera Saturday night, I'm bringing the USBA title to Hartford, my hometown! Then I want to fight for the world title right here in Hartford, right in front of my people. I'm not overlooking this fight, but my lifelong goal has been to win a world title. When I do that, I want to have that belt wrapped around my waist for all the people of Hartford to see," states Oliver! [details]
