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. ATI), April 19, ni Russo ká Lori The Bay ni Howard Okun, Niu Yoki.

“I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, Lou Savarese,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy wi. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, ati jade kuro ninu awọn iwọn. 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, Niu Yoki, the epicenter of boxing.

Savarese turned pro April 30, 1989, knocking jade James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 pro njà, highlighted by his 36th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of Buster Mathis, Jr. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) heavyweight àkọlé. It also set up a high profile 1997 showdown pẹlu George Foreman ni 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 ni 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 nigbati o duroJonathan 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, ati Riddick Bowe ninu awọn Awọn ope. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”

Bayi 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.

MEDZHID BEKTEMIROV Ami àjọ-maili guide pẹlu GARY Shaw ATI Lou SAVARESE

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

Houston, Texas (Kínní 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw Awọn iṣelọpọ ati Savarese Igbegas ni o wa ti ohun iwuri lati kede won Euroopu lati se igbelaruge ọkan ninu awọn julọ abinibi si oke ati awọn bọ asesewa ni ina heavyweight pipin, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 KOs). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov tun n gba iyara ati quickness, ṣiṣe awọn u ọkan ninu awọn julọ ti sọrọ nipa awọn onija ni Russia.

 

Bi ni Makhachkala, Russia, Bektemirov, bayi gbe ibi ni USA, ibi ti o ma pẹlu Ronnie Shields ni “PLEX” in Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Medzhid je, panṣaga ati ki o breathes Boxing.

 

“Mo n sọ ọ ọtun bayi, Medzhid Bektemirov jẹ ọkan ninu awọn julọ abinibi awọn onija Mo ti sọ ri ni kan nigba ti,” wi 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 ati 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.”

 

Ni nikan re 12th ija, Bektemirov sile ni WBC United States (USNBC) ina heavyweight akọle pẹlu kan dominating išẹ lodi si 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, ti fihan ti o le lọ ni aaye ti o ba ti nilo jẹ.

 

“Ni 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov yoo ṣe rẹ niwaju mọ si gbogbo eniyan ninu ina-heavyweight pipin.”Lou Savarese so. “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.”

 

“Mo lero gidigidi ibukun lati wa ni igbega nipa Gary Shaw ati Lou Savarese ti o ti wa ni Boxing fun opolopo odun,” Medzhid Bektemir wi. “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.”
