NOVA YORK (Maig 16, 2016) – New York State Boxing Hall-of-Famer Edwin Viruet will be Ring 8’s guest speaker at Tuesday night’s (Maig 17) monthly meeting, starting at 7 p.m. I, at O’Neill’s Restaurant, situat en 64-21 53rd Drive in Maspeth, Nova York.
“Edwin was inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2016,” Anell 8 president Bob Duffy dit. “He was unable to attend the induction ceremony, so we will present him with his Hall of Fame belt at our meeting. Edwin embodies what the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) is all about in terms of his overall achievements and accomplishments as a New York State fighter. We’re very happy that Edwin will have this opportunity to be honored and we’re all interested in hearing him speak about his boxing career.”
Viruet (32-6-2) was a standout amateur boxer, albeit brief, registering a perfect 18-0 registre, highlighted by his winning two New York Golden Gloves Championship in 1968 as a 118-pound sub-novice and the following year in the 126-pound division, Edwin and his brother,Adolpho Viruet, were declared co-champions.
En 1969, Viruet turned pro and two years later, he fought a draw with future world championSaül Mamby and he won a decision over another future world champion, Alfredo Escalara. Three years later, Viruet scored a decision victory against fellow 2016 NYSBHOF inductee Vilomar Fernandez al Madison Square Garden.
Viruet went the distance twice with world lightweight champion Roberto Durán, losing a decision both times, the first in a non-title fight in 1975 and the second as a world title challenger in Philadelphia two years later.
En 1983, Viruet retired as a boxer after having fought in all of the top New York venues – MSG, The Felt Forum, Sunnyside Garden, Nassau Coliseum, Singer Bowl and Audobon Ballroom.
Viruet also enjoyed a successful career as a trainer with heavyweight Alex Steward, a Golden Gloves champion who, com a professional, lluitat Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfieldi George Foreman. Viruet also trained actor Wesley Snipes.
