Overview
- Poncho De Nigris posted on X on July 26 inviting Mexican streamer Samy Rivers to Ring Royale and saying the show would be “just” with a “dignified” rival.
- His message explicitly pointed to judging and equipment concerns raised at La Velada del Año VI and positioned Ring Royale as offering fairer oversight.
- Samy Rivers has not publicly accepted or declined the invitation and no matchup for Ring Royale’s planned March edition has been confirmed.
- The call follows social-media backlash after Rivers’ La Velada fight, where viewers questioned judges’ scores and the use of a reinforced face mask by her opponent.
- Ring Royale is a Mexican influencer exhibition series streamed free on platforms like Twitch and YouTube, and the invitation highlights growing promoter rivalry that can shape rematches, ticket sales and online attention.
