World heavyweight contender Lou Savarese to be inducted into New York State Boxing HOF

Mars 7, 2020 FNU47 Skildu eftir athugasemd

*Flokkur 2020 Induction Dinner on Sunday, Apríl 19*

NEW YORK (Mars 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion **Lou Savarese** (46-7, 38 Kos) is living the dream, eins og þeir segja, 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), Apríl 19***, á Russo er við víkina í 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** sagði. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, inn og út úr hringnum. 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, berja út **James Smith** in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 atvinnumaður berst, highlighted by his 36^th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of **Buster Mathis, Jr**. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) þungavigtar titill. It also set up a high profile 1997 lokauppgjör við **George Foreman** í 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** í 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 þegar hann hættiJonathan 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** í áhugamanna. **Max Kellerman** (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”

Nú 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 (Febrúar 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions og Savarese Promotions erum spennt að tilkynna stéttarfélag þeirra til að stuðla að einn af færustu upp og koma horfur í ljós þungavigtar deild, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 Kos). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov býr líka hraða og quickness, gera hann einn af mest töluðu um bardagamenn í Rússlandi.

Fæddur í Makhachkala, Rússland, Bektemirov, nú er búsettur í Bandaríkjunum, þar sem hann þjálfar með Ronnie Shields á að “Plex” í Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Medzhid etur, sefur og andar box.

“Ég ætla að segja þér núna, Medzhid Bektemirov er einn af the hæfileikaríkur bardagamenn ég hef séð í nokkurn tíma,” sagði 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.”

Í aðeins 12 lota hans, Bektemirov fanga WBC Bandaríkin (USNBC) ljós þungavigtar titill með ríkjandi frammistöðu gegn 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, hefur sannað að hann getur farið fjarlægð ef þörf krefur.

“Í 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov mun gera veru hans þekkt að allir í ljós-þungavigtar deild.”Lou Savarese fram. “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.”

“Mér finnst mjög blessuð að vera kynnt Gary Shaw og Lou Savarese sem hafa verið í hnefaleikum í mörg ár,” Medzhid Bektemir sagði. “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.”
