DiVeronica fought professionally between 1958-1972, эмхэтгэж нь 44-31-1 (13 Kos) record as a welterweight contender. He was stopped only twice in 58 дэмжсэн тулаан, once by NYSBHOF charter (2012) inductee Emile Гриффит.
“This wasn’t expected (NYSBHOF induction) and we’re all super excited,” DiVeronica’s daughter Theresa commented. “We live in the same town as the International Boxing Hall of Fame, but my father will never be inducted into that Hall of Fame because he was never a world champion, only a contender. Билли Backus (undisputed world welterweight champion in 1971-72) is from Canastota, бас. He and my father never fought because they didn’t want the hometown fighter losing. My father was a humble guy and we’re so happy to have him recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.”
DiVeronica will now join Backus, who was a member of the Class of 2014, in the NYSBHOF. Boxing was incredibly important in DiVeronica life in and out of the ring. He started a boxing club in Germany while stationed there in the U.S. Армийн. He even met his wife at the famed 5-р St. Gym in Miami. Dick was staying there at the home of a relative, right next door to where his future wife lived. One day he asked her out and eventually they were married and starting a family back in Canastota.
“My family is so excited,” Theresa added. “We’ll be there for the induction ceremony, even my older sister from Germany.”
