Matthew Patrick Remillard (born June 12, 1986) is an American professional boxer. He won the regional NABFfeatherweight title in 2009, together with the WBO–NABO featherweight title in 2010. Both titles were lost to Mikey Garcia in 2011, which was Remillard's first loss.
Matt had a lengthy amateur career and went on to win the Everlast Under-19 National Amateur Championships twice.[1]
Assault and Jail Time
On January 5, 2010, 22 year old Jordan Evans was savagely beaten with an aluminum baseball bat at a Marlborough, Connecticut home. It was alleged that a conspiracy to set up Evans was made by his current (and Remillard's former) girlfriend Danielle Napolitano, in conjunction with her brothers Adam Napolitano and Richard Napolitano, with Remillard carrying out the attack. Evans claimed that he was called to the home by his girlfriend, where Remillard lay in wait. Evans ran to his car but did not have his keys, at which time Remillard shattered the glass and proceeded to severely pummel Evans. Injuries incurred included fractures to the skull, eye socket and hands and "Doctors had to insert 150 stitches, more than two dozen screws and several plates into Evans' head."[2]
Showdown With Mikey Garcia
Despite the apparent distractions resulting from the pending criminal charges, Remillard won three fights in 2010, improving his record to 23-0 with 13 KO. On March 26, 2011, he faced the undefeated Mikey Garcia. Garcia won convincingly, knocking Remillard down twice in the 9th and once in the 10th. Remillard thereby lost both his NABF and WBONABO featherweight titles.[3] This bout was televised on HBO.[4]
Sentencing and Imprisonment
While the three Napolitano siblings were initially charged in the conspiracy, all had their charges dropped in cooperation with the prosecution of Remillard. In September 2011 he pled no contest to a charge of first degree assault. He was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment on November 29, 2011 by Judge Elpedio N. Vitale. Evans was outraged by the leniency of the sentence, calling it "a gift."[5] Due to his imprisonment his fight with Garcia in 2011 remained his last until 2017. Remillard won four consecutive bouts following his release, but has remained inactive since March 2018.
