Tickets Now Available For Middleweight Prospect Richard Pierson?s Upcoming April 18 Bout PhilBoxing.com Thu, 08 Mar 2012 Team Pierson has announced that tickets for middleweight prospect Richard Pierson are now available. Pierson will be stepping back into the ring April 18 at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, NJ, fresh off an impressive KO victory. On February 17, Pierson (10-2, 7 KO) finished off Anibal Acevedo with a devastating right hand to the ribs at the end of the first round in his first fight back following an 18-month layoff. ?It felt good to be back in the ring, but feels even better to have a team,? said Pierson about his recent victory. Throughout his career Pierson has dealt with his share of adversity and having fights fall through, yet he has stayed focus and determined to work towards a world title shot. ?The way I stay focused is that I keep my faith in God, and I stay around positive people,? said Pierson. ?Boxing is life, and before you can get into that ring, you have to be mentally stable. You can?t get into the ring and have any doubt or concern for anything. So before I lace up the gloves, I make sure my household is safe and stable, and the people that surround me and care about me are happy. That is what really affects me and keeps me focused.? Pierson has established himself as a top middleweight fighter with serious implications on making a title run by the end of 2012. ?I feel good about the upcoming fight; I?m hoping that nothing happens like it has in the past, where the fight falls through last minute,? said Pierson. ?I?m working hard and training camp is going great, and I want to be able to get out there and work.? Richard Pierson has waited patiently for his chance to shine. From day one all he has wanted to do is step between the ropes and have a fair shot, and although he has been thrown to the wolves countless times to simply be an opponent against ?A? fighters, Pierson has rose above. Pierson has caught the attention and respect of fellow fighters due to his unrelenting work ethic, determination and drive to excel in what he does. Outside the ring Pierson is a dedicated student and full-time father, striving to give his children a better life. Quiet and humble, Pierson goes about life one day at a time, creating and seizing opportunities at will. And for the first time in his career, Pierson has had a solid team around him to give him a full time training camp. ?It means a lot to have the resources around me and the people willing to put the time in,? said Pierson. ?I am going to make the most of it, and it will show when I step between the ropes April 18.?
