Tony DeMarco at his statue dedication in Boston’s North End.
Boston, Massachusetts (Mars 22, 2019):
Coming off the heels of the sold out 4th Annual St. Clash de Patrick Day which has amassed over 225,000 online views, Murphys boxe is proud to announce the creation of the Code du Prix du guerrier to celebrate the achievements of New England’s most legendary boxers.
The award’s first recipients will be 2019 International Boxing Hall of Fame intronisé,Tony DeMarco and one of Massachusetts’ most decorated amateur boxers, Mike D'Ampoule.
Both fighters will be presented with their awards next Vendredi, March 29th at the Murphys Boxing event at Memorial Hall en Melrose, Massachusetts.
À 87 ans, Tony DeMarco holds the distinction of being boxing’s oldest living world champion and has been a beloved figure in the Boston sports world for over half a century.
Known as ‘Nardo’, the Boston fighter of Italian descent, turned pro unbelievably just a few years after the end of World War II. Dans un 14 year career, DeMarco went 52-12-1 while fighting during boxing’s golden age. His legendary battles with Hall of Famers like Carmen Basilio et Kid Gavilin made DeMarco a star and he won the welterweight world title en 1955 contre Johnny Saxton at the original Boston Garden in a fight that was voted one of Boston’s Top 10 Sports Moments.
DeMarco, who still can be found ringside at Murphys Boxing events and whose statue resides in Boston’s North End where he still lives, will receive the long overdue honor of joining the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a 2019 inductee this June.
“Murphys Boxing has always been very welcoming to me and my family.”, explains DeMarco.
“They have a true respect for boxing’s history. It’s an honor to be given their first ever award just months before entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame. I am looking forward to the evening.”
Joining DeMarco will be Melrose’s own, Mike D'Ampoule, who is considered one of the most successful amateurs ever to come out of the state of Massachusetts.
D’Ampolo was a Champion des Golden Gloves de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, une 3x New England AAU Champ, une 2x Eastern Regional Champion and participated in the 1984 Essais olympiquesbarely missing a spot on the legendary 1984 USA Olympic Team with his weight class ultimately being represented by none other than Evander Holyfield.
On advice from his father, D’Ampolo made the decision to not enter the professional ranks and went onto become a successful businessman with his company, M&L Transit Systems based out of his hometown of Melrose, Massachusetts.
“je suis humble. Back when we were fighting, there wasn’t much recognition or credit given to amateurs.”, says D’Ampolo.
“I used to be in the paper back then but it’s been a long time and I’m just very grateful to Murphys Boxing for remembering and honoring me here in my hometown.”
fondateur Murphys boxe, Ken Casey explains the promotion’s decision to name Demarco and D’Ampolo as the first two recipients of the award named after one of the Dropkick Murphy’s signature songs, « Le Code du guerrier », qui est un hommage à un autre héros de la boxe Nouvelle-Angleterre, Micky Ward.
“The idea stemmed from Tony DeMarco finally being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. We wanted to celebrate Tony at one of our local shows before his big day and in talking we realized their were so many other retired New England based fighters both professional and amateur that, like Tony, deserved more recognition.”
“The Warrior’s Code Award is a way for us to honor those locally who have come before us and given so much to the sport we love. Boston and beyond has such a rich boxing history, it’s important for Murphys Boxing to respect and honor that as well as educate a new generation about these warriors that have paved the way.”
