Savarese says his opening-round knockout of former world heavyweight champion James “Buster” Douglas Je 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 Kiam li haltisJonathan 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, Kaj Riddick Bowe in the amateurs. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.

Nun 54, Savarese lives in Houston, Teksaso, 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.

MEDZHID BEKTEMIROV SUBSKRIBAS CO-VARBA KONTRAKTO KUN GARY SHAW ANDa LOU SAVARESE

HOUSTON, TEKSASO (Februaro 12, 2015)Gary Shaw Produktadoj Kaj Savarese Promotions are thrilled to announce their union to promote one of the most talented up and coming prospects in the light heavyweight division, Medzhid Bektemirov (14-0, 11 KOs). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov also possesses speed and quickness, making him one of the most talked about fighters in Russia.

 

Naskiĝis en Makhachkala, Rusio, Bektemirov, now resides in the USA, where he trains with Ronnie #?ildo #?E la PLEX in Stafford, Teksaso. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Medzhid eats, sleeps and breathes boxing.

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 Kaj 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.

 

In only his 12th bout, Bektemirov captured the WBC United States (USNBC) light heavyweight title with a dominating performance against Randy Griffin (25-4-3, 13 KOs), winning a lopsided twelve-round unanimous decision.

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.

 

“Mi sentas tre benita esti #anta?enigi de Gary Shaw kaj Lou Savarese kiu estis en boksanta por multaj jaroj,” Medzhid Bektemirov Dirita. “I’ve come a long way from Russia to pursue my dream of becoming a champion.
