Former boxing world champion Jose Antonio Rivera now wants to pursue his career at his state police department. However, the problem is that he is now 36 and according to Massachusetts state law, anybody applying for a job of police officer or firefighter must be 32 or less. However, Worcester city councilors are now trying to waiver the state law to give Jose Antonio Rivera a chance to start his second career at Police department. Currently working as a juvenile court officer in Worcester, Jose Antonio Rivera once held WBA welterweight and WBA world super welterweight titles during his career.
Even if he is granted a waiver, Jose Antonio Rivera would have to take the Civil Service test in his pursuit to be a police officer. This was revealed by Councilor-at-large Frederick Rushton who also added that it was less likely that Rivera would be able to join the police force very soon because the city was struggling with budget.
