klas nan 2020 Induction Dinner on Sunday, Avril 19

NEW YORK (Mas 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion Lou Savarese (46-7, 38 Ko) is living the dream, menm jan yo di, 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. AK), Avril 19, nan Russo nan Bay sou la nan 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 di. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, nan ak soti nan bag la. 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, frape pi rèd toujou soti James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 pro batay, highlighted by his 36th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of Buster Mathis, Jr. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) pwa loud tit. It also set up a high profile 1997 konfwontasyon ak George Foreman nan 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 nan 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 lè li te kanpeJonathan 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 (Evandè Olifil, Mike Tyson, Foreman, Witherspoon, Douglas, ak Riddick Bowe nan amater yo. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”

Koulye a, 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.

Other living boxers heading into the NYSBHOF include three-time World light heavyweight title challenger Jorge Ahumada (42-8-2, 22 Ko), of Woodside, Queens by way of Argentina; (1975-78) WBC super featherweight World Champion Alfred “El Salsero” Escalera (53-14-3, 31 Ko), of New York City by way of Puerto Rico; WBC super featherweight World title challenger Freddie “Pitbull la” Liberatore (20-4-1, 11 Ko), of Bayside, Queens; WBC middleweight World Champion and four-time New York Golden Gloves winner Dennis “The Magician” Milton (16-5-1, 5 Ko), nan Bronx; and WBA super middleweight title World title challenger Merqui “El Corombo” Sosa (34-9-2, 27 Ko), of Brooklyn by way of the Dominican Republic.

I’m in the gym everyday working extremely hard on everything. Now that I’m ranked in the WBA, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My co-promoters Gary Shaw and Lou Savarese have assured me a big fight if I continue to win. I know Gbenga has a lot of power, men mwen santi mwen pwenson ap gen plis eksplozif ak mwen pral gunning pou pentch a soti nan klòch nan ouvèti. Mwen se pare yo lage bonm!”

 

“Lou ak mwen ap fè pi byen nou yo kenbe B-52 okipe,” di Gary Shaw. “This will be his second fight in a little over a month and we want him on the fast track to a world title.

MEDZHID BEKTEMIROV SIY CO-PROMOTIONAL KONTRA AK GARY SHAW ak Lou SAVARESE

Kite yon kòmantè

HOUSTON, TEXAS (Fevriye 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions ak Savarese Pwomosyona kontan anonse l ap sendika yo ankouraje youn nan ki pi talan kandida yo leve, li vini nan divizyon an pwa loud limyè, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 Ko). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov tou posede vitès ak vivasité, fè l 'youn nan pale ki pi sou avyon de gè nan Larisi.

 

Li te fèt nan Makhachkala, Larisi, Bektemirov, kounye a abite nan USA a, kote li te moutre ak Ronnie Shields nan la “Plex” nan Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Manje Medzhid, dòmi ak respire boksè.

 

“Poukisa mwen di nou kounye a, Medzhid Bektemirov se youn nan konbatan yo ki pi talan mwen te wè nan yon ti tan,” di 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 ak 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.”

 

Nan sèlman bout 12yèm l ', Bektemirov pran WBC Etazini yo (USNBC) limyè pwa loud tit ak yon pèfòmans domine kont Randy Griffin (25-4-3, 13 Ko), winning a lopsided twelve-round unanimous decision. Having gone twelve rounds in a professional bout already, Medzhid Bektemir, te pwouve li ka ale distans la si yo bezwen.

 

“Nan 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov pral fè devan je l 'li te ye a tout moun nan divizyon an limyè-pwa loud.”Lou Savarese deklare. “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.”

 

“Mwen santi mwen trè beni yo dwe ankouraje pa Gary Shaw ak Lou Savarese ki te nan boksè pou anpil ane,” Medzhid Bektemir di. “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.”
