klasse af 2020 Induction Dinner on Sunday, April 19

NEW YORK (Marts 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion Lou Savarese (46-7, 38 KOS) is living the dream, som de siger, preparing for his upcoming induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

As one of the 28-member Class of 2020, the popular Savarese will be formally inducted at the ninth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner, Sunday afternoon (12:30-5:30 p.m. OG), April 19, på Russos On The Bay i Howard Beach, New York.

“I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, Lou Savarese,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy sagde. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, ind og ud af ringen. His friends and family know that this honor is well deserved.”

Savarese was a local favorite, born in the Bronx and from Greenwood Lake, who was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion having fought at the famed Madison Square Garden.

“This is truly amazing,” Savarese spoke about being inducted into the NYSBHOF. “I’m a New York boxing historian, going back to the 1920’s of New York boxing history. It’s so nice to have fought in the best place, New York, the epicenter of boxing.

Savarese turned pro April 30, 1989, banke ud James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 pro slagsmål, highlighted by his 36th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of Buster Mathis, Jr. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (redigere) sværvægter titel. It also set up a high profile 1997 opgør med George Foreman i Atlantic City, when Savarese lost a 12-round split decision (114-113, 112-115, 110-118) for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) championship.

Savarese says his opening-round knockout of former world heavyweight champion James “Buster” Douglas i 1998 for the International Boxing Association World heavyweight title is his greatest accomplishment in the ring.

“I was a big underdog in the Douglas fight,” Savarese remembered. “He had a good jab. That’s No. 1f or me. Winning my first New York Golden Gloves title (1985 da han stoppedeJonathan Hill in the finals) in front of my fans, family and friends was my amateur highlight.”

In addition to the aforementioned IBA World, Savarese also won the WBO Inter-Continental, and IBA Continental championships.

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.
“This is special. I know most of the guys going in and it’s an honor to be amongst them. I fought six world champions (Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Foreman, Witherspoon, Douglas, og Riddick Bowe i amatører. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”

Nu 54, Savarese lives in Houston, Texas, where he runs Savarese Promotions, as well as two gyms, in which he trains white-collar boxers. “It’s going to be fun seeing family and friends from back since I first started in boxing,” Savarese concluded. “A ton of people are coming (to the induction dinner), including some from Houston. I turned pro there in 1990, moved back to New York between 2000-2008, and have lived in Houston since then.”

But Lou Savarese will always embody what it is to be a New York boxer.

HOUSTON, TEXAS (Februar 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions og Savarese Promotions er glade for at annoncere deres fagforening til at fremme en af ​​de mest talentfulde op og kommende perspektiver i lyset sværvægter division, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 KOS). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov besidder også hastighed og hurtighed, hvilket gør ham til en af ​​de mest omtalte krigere i Rusland.

 

Født i Makhachkala, Rusland, Bektemirov, nu er bosat i USA, hvor han træner med Ronnie Shields ved “PLEX” i Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Medzhid eats, sover og ånder boksning.

 

“Jeg siger dig lige nu, Medzhid Bektemirov er en af ​​de mest talentfulde kæmpere jeg har set i et stykke tid,” sagde Gary Shaw. “He has the rare combination of speed and power. I’m talking destructive power coming from both hands. His hooks are deadly and his fast feet are amazing. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Bektemirov could be the next great fighter to come out of Russia. I have the greatest amount of respect for Gennady Golovkin og Sergey Kovalev, both are great champions. Golovkin is a very special fighter and if Bektemirov can reach his level, then we’ll have something special as well. I believe Bektemirov will be looking to face Kovalev in the not so distant future.”

 

I kun hans 12. Bout, Bektemirov erobrede WBC USA (USNBC) lys sværvægter titel med en dominerende præstation mod Randy Griffin (25-4-3, 13 KOS), winning a lopsided twelve-round unanimous decision. Having gone twelve rounds in a professional bout already, Medzhid Bektemir, har bevist han kan stå distancen, hvis nødvendigt.

 

“I 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov vil gøre sin tilstedeværelse kendt for alle i lyset-sværvægter division.”Lou Savarese angivet. “This kid reminds me of Mike Tyson with his heavy hands and tremendous speed. I’ve been in the ring with Tyson and I’m confident when I say Bektemirov reminds me a lot like Mike. Gary and I are going to put tremendous amount promoting Medzhid. He will become a household name very soon and we are gunning for that world title.”

 

“Jeg føler mig meget velsignet at fremmes af Gary Shaw og Lou Savarese som har været i boksning i mange år,” Medzhid Bektemir sagde. “I’ve come a long way from Russia to pursue my dream of becoming a champion. I love to fight and I get great enjoyment when I knockout my opponent. In every bout, I’m always going to be looking to end the fight early. The fans want to see knockouts and that is my specialty.”
