紐約 (三月 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion 婁Savarese (46-7, 38 科斯) is living the dream, 正如他們所說, 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, 星期天下午 (12:30-5:30 P.M. AND), 四月 19, 在俄的上湧在霍華德海灘, 紐約.
“I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, 婁Savarese,” NYSBHOF總裁 鮑勃·達菲 說. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, 進出環. 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, 紐約, the epicenter of boxing.
Savarese turned pro April 30, 1989, 淘汰 詹姆斯·史密斯 in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 親打架, highlighted by his 36日 by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of 巴斯特馬西斯, JR. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) 重量級冠軍. It also set up a high profile 1997 攤牌 喬治·福爾曼 在大西洋城, when Savarese lost a 12-round split decision (114-113, 112-115, 110-118) for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) 錦標賽.
Savarese says his opening-round knockout of former world heavyweight champion 詹姆斯 “Buster” 道格拉斯 在 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. “他有一個很好的戳. That’s No. 1f or me. Winning my first New York Golden Gloves title (1985 當他停止Jonathan 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, 蘭斯·惠特克 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 (霍利菲爾德, 邁克·泰森, 領班, 威瑟斯彭, 道格拉斯, 和 里迪克·鮑 在業餘. 馬克斯·凱勒曼 (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 應徵) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”
現在 54, Savarese lives in Houston, 得克薩斯州, 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.
