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

Classe di 2020 Induction Dinner on Sunday, Aprile 19

NEW YORK (Marzo 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion Lou Savarese (46-7, 38 KO) is living the dream, come dicono, 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, domenica pomeriggio (12:30-5:30 p.m. E), Aprile 19, a Russo On The Bay di Howard Beach, New York.

I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, Lou Savarese,” Presidente NYSBHOF Bob Duffy suddetto. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, in e fuori dal ring. 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, buttando giù James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 lotte pro, highlighted by his 36th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of Buster Mathis, Jr. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) titolo dei pesi massimi. It also set up a high profile 1997 resa dei conti con George Foreman in 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 Giacomo “Buster” Douglas in 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 quando si fermòJonathan 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, e Riddick Bowe nei dilettanti. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 indotto) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. Quello è buono, I love that.

Ora 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 affumicato (42-8-2, 22 KO), of Woodside, Queens by way of Argentina; (1975-78) WBC super featherweight World Champion Alfred “Salsero” scala (53-14-3, 31 KO), of New York City by way of Puerto Rico; WBC super featherweight World title challenger Freddie “The PitbullLiberatore (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), di Bronx; and WBA super middleweight title World title challenger MerquiEl Corombo” Sosa (34-9-2, 27 KO), of Brooklyn by way of the Dominican Republic.

HOUSTON, TEXAS (Febbraio 12, 2015)Gary Shaw Productions e Savarese Promotions sono entusiasta di annunciare la loro unione per promuovere uno dei più talentuosi prospettive e provenienti nella divisione dei pesi massimi leggeri, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 KO). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov possiede anche la velocità e la rapidità, facendo di lui uno dei più parlato di combattenti in Russia.

 

Nato a Makhachkala, Russia, Bektemirov, ora risiede negli Stati Uniti, dove si allena con Ronnie Shields alla “PLEX” in Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Mangia Medzhid, dorme e respira la boxe.

 

“Ti sto dicendo in questo momento, Medzhid Bektemirov è uno dei combattenti più talentuosi che abbia mai visto in un istante,” suddetto 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 e 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 solo il suo 12 ° incontro, Bektemirov catturato il WBC Stati Uniti (USNBC) titolo dei pesi massimi leggeri con una prestazione dominante contro 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, ha dimostrato di poter andare lontano se necessario.

 

“In 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov farà la sua presenza noto a tutti nella divisione dei pesi massimi leggeri.”Lou Savarese dichiarato. “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.

 

“Mi sento molto fortunata ad essere promossa da Gary Shaw e Lou Savarese che sono stati nella boxe per molti anni,” Medzhid Bektemir suddetto. “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.
