INDUCTEES’ Sleachta & PICTIÚIR

(L-R) presenter Vinny Maddalone & 2019 NYSBHOF inductee Bob Jackson

Regilio Tuur: “I was a black kid from Holland fighting in the Olympics. Pretty much a nobody fighting the U.S. curadh. They bought my return plane ticket before I even fought because they though my opponent was unbelievable. I trained to fight him, a southpaw, for a year and had a big fight hand that nobody knew of. I wanted to come to American and make by father proud. I retired from the pros) undefeated and make a lot money. I’m honored today. I had a great manager, Stan Hoffman, who is a man who made us men.

I’ve been in boxing 18 years and have a select memory, but there have been so many amazing experiences and accomplishments. I love this guy (trainer Jimmy Glenn). A lot of managers don’t even ask how you’re doing. My manager was the great Stan Hoffman. He gave me $50,000, $3000 a month and another $1000 for insurance without a contract. Stan said: ‘How you doing? I believe in you and love you.’ I 2005, I was having an argument with Don King about money.

Un the quarterfinals I lost to a great fighter and Hall of Famer, Juan LaPorte. Like any boxer, I thought that I had won, and wanted aa rematch. My father told me I didn’t like road work and just lost a three-round fight. He asked if I’d like to be a referee. Thosaigh me i 1979 and my father made me work five years before turning pro. I went on to ref so many great fights, including one on the same card with my father at Radio City Music Hall. My greatest fight was Lennox Lewis versus Evander Holyfield.

NUA-EABHRAC (Aibreán 22, 2019) –              , New York welterweight Dick DiVeronica embodies the true spirit of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame: New Yorkers honoring New Yorkers for their accomplishments and achievements in boxing.

DiVeronica will be part of a 24-member Class of 2019 inducted at the eighth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner this tráthnóna Dé Domhnaigh (12:30-5:30 p.m. AGUS), ag Russo Ar an Bay i Howard Beach, Nua-Eabhrac.

This is what the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame is about, honoring and remembering men and women who devoted their time and energy to our beloved sports,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy Dúirt. “We thank all of them and their families for sharing these special people with us.

Limited tickets are still available, praghas $125.00 in aghaidh an duine fásta agus $60.00 do leanaí (faoi 16), agus ina measc brunch iomlán agus uair cocktail ar theacht, ag tosú ag 12:30 p.m. AGUS, chomh maith le dinnéar (príomh rib, iasc nó éanlaith chlóis) agus barra oscailte i rith an lae. Tickets are available to purchase by contacting Duffy at 516.313.2304 nó depcomish@aol.com. Téigh ar líne ag www.Ring8ny.com chun eolas breise faoin Dornálaíochta Nua-Eabhrac Stáit Halla na Laochra.

DiVeronica fought professionally between 1958-1972, thiomsú 44-31-1 (13 Kos) record as a welterweight contender. He was stopped only twice in 58 troideanna pro, once by NYSBHOF charter (2012) inductee Emile Griffith.

This wasn’t expected (NYSBHOF induction) and we’re all super excited,” DiVeronica’s daughter Theresa commented. “We live in the same town as the International Boxing Hall of Fame, but my father will never be inducted into that Hall of Fame because he was never a world champion, only a contender. Billy Backus (undisputed world welterweight champion in 1971-72) is from Canastota, freisin. He and my father never fought because they didn’t want the hometown fighter losing. My father was a humble guy and we’re so happy to have him recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

DiVeronica will now join Backus, who was a member of the Class of 2014, in the NYSBHOF. Boxing was incredibly important in DiVeronica life in and out of the ring. He started a boxing club in Germany while stationed there in the U.S. Arm. He even met his wife at the famed 5ú Ú. Gym in Miami. Dick was staying there at the home of a relative, right next door to where his future wife lived. One day he asked her out and eventually they were married and starting a family back in Canastota.

My family is so excited,” Theresa added. “We’ll be there for the induction ceremony, even my older sister from Germany.

NUA-EABHRAC (Márta 20, 2019) – Réiteoir dornálaíochta idirnáisiúnta Arthur Mercante, Jr. isteach lena athair, nach maireann Arthur Mercante, Sr., i Halla Laochra Dornálaíochta Stát Nua-Eabhrac (NYSBHOF) le bheith ar an gcéad athair-mac a ionduchtar isteach sa NYSBHOF.

Rang 24 ball na 2019 a ionduchtú ag an ochtú dinnéar ionduchtaithe bliantúil NYSBHOF ar tráthnóna Dé Domhnaigh (12:30-5:30 p.m. AGUS), Aibreán 28, ag Russo Ar an Bay i Howard Beach, Nua-Eabhrac.

Ceannaí, Jr. dornálaí amaitéarach a bhí ann a chaill sa 1976 Lámhainní Órga Nua-Eabhrac go Juan LaPorte (ionduchtóir NYSBHOF, Aicme na 2014). “Mhothaigh mé buille dó, agus theastaigh uaim dul pro,” Ceannaí, Jr. mhínigh sé conas a thosaigh sé ag feidhmiú. “Ní dúirt m'athair fad is a bhí cónaí orm ina theach, ach mhol sé dom iarracht a dhéanamh tagairt a dhéanamh.”

Ceannaí, Jr. thosaigh sé ag réitiú i 1979 sna amaitéarach agus bhog sé suas go dtí na pro ranks i 1984. Tá tagairt déanta aige 336 troideanna, Lena n-áirítear 72 troideanna teidil. Ceannaí, Jr. tá cuimhní iontacha aige, lena n-áirítear scéal grinn inar pollta de thaisme é.

“Bhí mé ag tagairt do troid (domhan aontaithe super middleweight teideal troid, ar Jan. 14, 2017 ag Ionad Barclay i mBrooklyn) idir Badou Jack agus James DeGale,” Ceannaí, Jr. cuimhne. “Chuala mé an rabhadh 10 soicind ag deireadh an séú babhta agus thosaigh mé ag comhaireamh 5-4-3-2-1. Ag an am céanna, Bhuail Jack mé san aghaidh le duán clé, agus shleamhnaigh mé. D'iarr Beau orm an raibh mé ceart go leor. Dúirt mé go raibh mé ceart go leor. Níos déanaí, dúirt sé gur bhuail sé mé le urchar maith agus go raibh úinéireacht agam lámhaigh maith dó. Tar éis an troid, dúirt sé liom gur féidir liom lámhaigh maith a ghlacadh.”

Ceannaí, Jr. chreid go bhfuil an eochair a bheith ina réiteoir maith a bhriseadh as a chéile trodaithe i clinches agus ag fanacht amach as an pictiúr, mar ní faoin réiteoir atá troid.

Ar cheann de na chuimhneacháin is suntasaí dá shaol a bhí ag obair ar an seó céanna lena athair, a bhí 81 am, don chéad uair i 1981 ag Radio City Music Hall i gCathair Nua-Eabhrac. D'oibrigh Athair an príomh-imeacht idir Roy Jones, Jr. agus David Telesco, Ceannaí, Jr. láimhseáil troid idir David Izon agus Ruaraidh Jefferson.


Anois, Ceannaí, Jr. Tá sé ag dul isteach sa NYSBHOF chun dul isteach lena athair. “Níor shíl mé riamh go mbeinn in aon Halla na Laochra,” Ceannaí, Jr. dúirt. “Nuair a tháinig an glaoch ar an 27 Eanáir (2019) ó Bob Duffy (Uachtarán NYBHOF), ní fhéadfadh sé a bheith tagtha ar lá níos speisialta, mar bheadh ​​m'athair iompaithe 99 an lá sin.

“Tá sé an onóir, go háirithe ag dul isteach leis an rang seo. D'oibrigh mé troid idir Michael Olajide agus Iran Barkley agus tá Michael ag dul isteach i mbliana. Don King, ar ndóigh, agus d’oibrigh mé go leor seónna le Wayne Kelly. Ring 8 eagraíocht iontach a bhí ann i gcónaí. Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil le gach duine a bhí páirteach.”
