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, kugodomalitsa James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston.

Savarese says his opening-round knockout of former world heavyweight champion James “Buster” Douglas mu 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 pamene iye anaimaJonathan 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, ndipo Riddick Bowe mu 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.”

Tsopano 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.”

Kusiya ndemanga

Houston, Texas (February 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw munapanga ndipo Savarese Kupititsa patsogolom amasangalala kulengeza kuti ukwati kulimbikitsa kwambiri luso ndi kubwera chiyembekezo m'kuunika heavyweight kugawanikana, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 Ko). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov komanso ali ndi liwiro quickness, namuika kwambiri ikunenedwa mu Russia omenyana.

 

Anabadwa mu Makhachkala, Russia, Bektemirov, tsopano ankakhala ku USA, kumene imaphunzitsa ndi Ronnie zishango pa “PLEX” mu Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Medzhid angodya, amagona komanso amapuma nkhonya.

 

“Ine ndikukuuzani inu pompano, Medzhid Bektemirov ndi imodzi mwa luso omenyana Ine ndawonapo mu kanthawi,” anati 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 ndipo 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.”

 

Mu okha 12 bout, Bektemirov analanda WBC United States (USNBC) kuwala heavyweight udindo ndi wolamulira ntchito yolimbana 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, watsimikizira iye akhoza kupita patali ngati mungafune.

 

“Mu 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov adzapanga kwake kudziwika kwa aliyense mu kuwala heavyweight magawano.”Lou Savarese anati. “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.”

 

“Ndikuona kwambiri wodala kuti uyambe Gary Shaw ndi Lou Savarese akhala nkhonya kwa zaka zambiri,” Medzhid Bektemir anati. “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.”
