During a recent training at Baas Sports Curacao there was next to Rodney Glunder another world champion, who was training. Richel Hersisia, Former Heavyweight Champion of the World Pro Boxing, born in Curaçao (1974) and now living in The Hague. He holds an excellent record of 32 victories (25 he won by Knock-Out) and only 3 losses.

The 3 losses are no shame because they were against Audley Harrison (Gold medal winner at 2000 Olympics and world champion pro-boxing) from Great Brittan at Wembley Arena in London, Ray Mercer (former Olympic gold medalist and WBO heavyweight title holder) from the USA (Richel fought with a broken hand and should win the fight because he was the better boxer but the judges gave it to Mercer) and WBA Champion Taras Bidenko from Ukrainian, Soviet Union.

Richel fought all over the world, like Sweden, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Denmark, Poland and also two times in Curacao.
