Edwin Viruet
Anel 8 Guest Speaker Tuesday night
Nova York (Maio 16, 2016) – New York State Boxing Hall-of-Famer Edwin Viruet will be Ring 8’s guest speaker at Tuesday night’s (Maio 17) monthly meeting, starting at 7 p.m. E, at O’Neill’s Restaurant, situado na 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,” Anel 8 presidente Bob Duffy dito. “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 rexistro, 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 championSaul 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 Fernández no Madison Square Garden.
Viruet went the distance twice with world lightweight champion Roberto Duran, 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, como un profesional, trabada Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfielde George Foreman. Viruet also trained actor Wesley Snipes.
Several Vinny Maddalone loitas, courtesy of Charley Norkus, JR., will be shown on six television screens during Tuesday night’s buffet.

Nova York (Abril 5, 2016) – Máis que 300 people packed Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, NY this past Domingo for the fifth annual New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) cea de indución.
Cada homenaxeado recibirá un cinto de deseño personalizado significando súa indución no NYSBHOF. Plaques are on display at the New York State Athletic Commission.
O 2016 homenaxeados foron escollidos polos membros do Comité de Indicación NYSBHOF: Jack Hirsch, Steve Farhood, Bobby Cassidy, JR., Don Majeski, Henry Hascup, Ron McNair, Angelo Prospero e Neil Terens.
Todo boxeadores necesarias para ser inactivo durante polo menos tres anos, a fin de ser elegível para a indución NYSBHOF, e todo homenaxeados debe residir no Estado de Nova York para unha parte significativa das súas carreiras de boxeo ou durante o auxe da súa respectiva carreira.
(L-R) – NYSBHOF/Ring 8 presidente Bob Duffy, Don Majeski, Ed Brophy and Jill Diamond (WBC)
Ed Brophy: “I’d like to thank the committee of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and Ring 8, a wonderful group that sponsors the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. I’m so proud to have been born in New York, in the small town of Canastota, where boxing is in our blood. I’m thrilled to be honored today. My name is attached to the International Boxing Hall of Fame as director, but so many different people help out. I only accept this honor on their behalf. Boxing is the greatest sport. Congratulations to all of the inductees. This is the greatest day of my life.”
(L-R) – Ron McNair, Aaron Davis and Bob Duffy
Aaron Davis: Grazas, Anel 8. Boxing is a hard sport. It was much harder in the gym. I saw Gerry Cooney, Iran Barkley e Roberto Duran and wanted to do what those guys did and it made me a fighter I was. I’d like to thank my father and Billy Giles, who was my trainer. I’d also like to thank Joe DeGuardia, who managed me later in my career, and thanks to everybody who supported me.”
(L-R) — Bob Duffy, Dennis Rappaport and family
Dennis Rappaport: “It seems like yesterday when a six or seven year old living in Brooklyn watched a fight between Jake LaMotta e Jim Hairston. This young man was mesmerized. The next month he watchedSugar Ray Robinson suprimir Rocky Graziano and that was the start of a love affair that’s lasted 63 anos. Boxeo, at its best, is poetry in motion. It’s Shapespeare, Picasso, Rembrandt. But it can also be crude. I started in boxing managing three fighters: Ronnie Harris, Gerry Cooney e Howard Davis. JR. Because of the creative marketing of our fighters, one reporter called me and my partner, Mike Jones, ‘The Gold Dust Twins’ but then the media starting calling us, ‘The Wacko Twins.’ I preferred ‘The Gold Dust Twins.”

(L-R – Jack Hirsch, Joe DeGuardia and Bob Duffy
Joe DeGuardia: It’s a real pleasure, honor and privilege to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Like many of you here, I live and bleed boxing, which has been a big part of my life. Four months ago, I received the (Anel 8 at its Holiday awards dinner) Promoter of the Year award. I said then that we are truly a family of boxing; it’s a real brotherhood. I also talked about how boxing tied into lire. In that room – not with us now – was my father who passed away three weeks ago. Because of him, I developed this love of boxing that I’ve carried in life: work hard to do the best you can in life. I’m truly honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. In honor of my father and everybody else who loves this sport. I accept on behalf of my father who, Sei, is watching us now.”
(L-R) – Charles Murray and Bob Duffy
Charles Murray: “They called me, ‘The Natural.’ I appreciate this, being honored for my contributions to boxing. Thank you very much.”
(L-R) – Steve Farhood, Vilomar Fernandez and Bob Duffy
Vilomar Fernández: “It wasn’t easy fighting guys like Roberto Duran and Alexis Arguello. They were the best in the world. I’m thankful for the opportunities to fight them, I’m honored today.”
(L-R) – Henry Hascup, Randy Gordon, Melvina Lathan, Bob Duffy and Gerry Cooney
Randy Gordon: “Grazas, todo o mundo. This amazing event we have every year, I never expected this would happen. My career was born out of the aches of one of boxing’s biggest scandals, the US Championships on ABC, promovida pola Don King, and Ring Magazine produced the ratings for the tournament. It turned out the ratings and some of the records were padded and it just about knocked Ring Magazine out of business. Bert Randolph Sugar hired me to be its Editor In Chief. Traballando xuntos, we brought Ring Magazine back from the dead. I burst into tears when Jack Hirsch called to tell me I was being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This is an absolute dream. Anybody who has ever or will ever be inducted into any hall of fame, nobody can possibly enjoy this more than me. I love boxing with every ounce of my body. My wife and family drive me back into boxing. This is the greatest honor. I can’t get enough of boxing. I’m truly the luckiest man ever placed on this planet.”
(L-R) – Ed Brophy, Don Majeski, Jack Hirsch and Joe DeGuardia
