Simms is anxious to reclaim the title he won from Alex Garcia and Rivera is eager to prove himself to be the true champion. Both Travis and Randy Griffin have considered coming back to train in South Carolina again. With access to two great boxing gyms in Columbia, White Rock Boxing Gym and Palmetto Boxing and Fitness, Simms and company have been able to get in some excellent gym work.
