Beside former world champions Douglas and Witherspoon, as well as Mathis Jr., Savarese also defeated world-class heavyweights such as David Bostice, Lance Whitaker and Leo Nolan.

I fought six world champions (Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Vorarbeiter, Witherspoon, Douglas, und Riddick Bowe bei den Amateuren. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 Eingeweihte) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”
