For his work with The Come Up Kids, KFOR’s anchor Kevin Ogle, Channel 4 surprised Emmanuel “El Punisher” Rivera at OKC City Center on Wednesday.
Rivera was nominated by Lacey Larkin, whose late husband used to be Rivera’s training partner when he fought professionally. Rivera was presented a check by First Fidelity Bank, and The Come Up was featured on the Pay It FORward segment.
Rivera formerly trained the late and legendary sportscaster Bob Berry, Jr. of Channel 4 and The Sports Animal. Rivera was a behind-the-scenes technician for Berry and other Sports Animal personalities.
