Dick DiVeronica embodies spirit of New York State Boxing Hall of Fame


Induction Dinner This Sunday, April 28

Don King, Jimmy kanon, Jimmy Carter & Wilfredo Benitez headline Class of 2019 inductees

NEW YORK (April 22, 2019) – CANASTOTA, New York welterweight Dick DiVeronica embodies the true spirit of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame: New Yorkers honoring New Yorkers for their accomplishments and achievements in boxing.

DiVeronica will be part of a 24-member Class of 2019 inducted at the eighth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner this Sondag middag (12:30-5:30 namiddag. EN), by Russo se On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.

This is what the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame is about, honoring and remembering men and women who devoted their time and energy to our beloved sports,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy gesê. “We thank all of them and their families for sharing these special people with us.

Limited tickets are still available, geprys teen $125.00 per volwassene en $60.00 vir kinders (onder 16), en sluit in 'n volledige brunch en cocktail uur by aankoms, begin by 12:30 namiddag.

Gaan op die lyn by www.Ring8ny.com Vir meer inligting oor die staat New York Boxing Hall of Fame.

DiVeronica fought professionally between 1958-1972, opstel van 'n 44-31-1 (13 Uitklophoue) record as a welterweight contender. He was stopped only twice in 58 pro gevegte, once by NYSBHOF charter (2012) inductee Emile Griffith.

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. Billy Backus (undisputed world welterweight champion in 1971-72) is from Canastota, te. 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. Army. He even met his wife at the famed 5ste 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.

Other living boxers heading into the NYSBHOF include (Bronx-gebore) drie keer, twee-afdeling wêreldkampioen Wilfredo Benitez (53-8-1, 31 Uitklophoue), (Hempstead) WBO super veergewig-wêreldkampioen Rogelio Tuur (46-4-1, 30 Uitklophoue), (Bronx) 1968 U.S. Olimpiese Davey Vasquez (19-15, 6 Uitklophoue), WBO super middelgewig-wêreldtitel uitdagerMichael Olajide (27-5, 19 Uitklophoue), van Manhattan, en Queens’ wêreld swaargewig titel uitdager Monte Barrett (35-11-2, 20 Uitklophoue).

Arthur Mercante, Jr. to join father in New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Don King, Jimmy kanon, Jimmy Carter & Wilfredo Benitez headline Class of 2019 inductees


NEW YORK (Maart 20, 2019) – International boxing referee Arthur Mercante, Jr. will join his father, die laat Arthur Mercante, Sr., in the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) to become the first father-son inducted into the NYSBHOF.

The 24-member Class of 2019 will be inducted at the eighth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner on Sondag middag (12:30-5:30 namiddag. EN), April 28, by Russo se On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.

Mercante, Jr. was an amateur boxer who lost in the 1976 New York Golden Gloves to Juan LaPorte (NYSBHOF inductee, klas van 2014). “I felt I beat him, and I wanted to turn pro,” Mercante, Jr. explained how he got into officiating. “My father said no as long as I lived in his house, but he suggested I try referring.

Mercante, Jr. started refereeing in 1979 in the amateurs and moved up to the pro ranks in 1984. He has referred 336 gevegte, insluitend 72 title fights. Mercante, Jr. has some wonderful memories, including a humorous story in which he was accidentally punched.

I was referring a fight (unified world super middleweight title fight, Jan. 14, 2017 at Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn) tussen Badou Jack en James DeGale,” Mercante, Jr. remembered. “I heard the 10-second warning at the end of the sixth round and started counting 5-4-3-2-1. Op dieselfde tyd, Jack hit me in the face with a left hook, and I slipped. Beau asked me if I was alright. I said I was fine. Later, he said that he had hit me with a good shot and that I owned him a good shot. Na afloop van die stryd, he told me I can take a good shot.

Mercante, Jr. believed the key to be a good referee is breaking apart fighters in clinches and staying out of the picture, because a fight isn’t about the referee.

One of his most memorable moments of his career was working the same show as his father, wat was 81 tyd, for the first time in 1981 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Father worked the main event between Roy Jones, Jr. en David Telesco, Mercante, Jr. handled a fight between David Izon en Derrick Jefferson.


Nou, Mercante, Jr. is heading into the NYSBHOF to join his father. “I never thought I’d be in any Hall of Fame,” Mercante, Jr. kommentaar. “When the call came January 27th (2019) uit Bob Duffy (NYBHOF president), it couldn’t have come at a more special day, because my father would have turned 99 daardie dag.

“Dit is 'n eer, especially going in with this class. I worked a fight between Michael Olajide and Iran Barkley and Michael is getting in this year. Don King, natuurlik, and I worked a lot of shows with Wayne Kelly. Ring 8 has always been a great organization. I’d like to thank everyone involved.

Lewende boksers op pad na die NYSBHOF sluit (Bronx-gebore) drie keer, twee-afdeling wêreldkampioen Wilfredo Benitez (53-8-1, 31 Uitklophoue), Canastota welterweight Dick DiVeronica (44-13-1, 13 Uitklophoue), (Hempstead) WBO super veergewig-wêreldkampioenRogelio Tuur (46-4-1, 30 Uitklophoue), (Bronx) 1968 U.S. Olimpiese Davey Vasquez (19-15, 6 Uitklophoue), WBO super middelgewig-wêreldtitel uitdager Michael Olajide (27-5, 19 Uitklophoue), van Manhattan, en Queens’ wêreld swaargewig titel uitdager Monte Barrett (35-11-2, 20 Uitklophoue).
