Both fighters will be presented with their awards next星期五, March 29that the Murphys Boxing event atMemorial Hall 在 梅爾羅斯, 馬薩諸塞州.
在 87 歲,Tony DeMarco holds the distinction of beingboxing’s oldest living world championand 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. 在一個 14 year career, DeMarco went 52-12-1 while fighting during boxing’s golden age. His legendary battles with Hall of Famers like卡門巴西利奧 和 Kid Gavilinmade DeMarco a star and he won thewelterweight world title 在 1955 針對 Johnny Saxtonat the original Boston Garden in a fight that was voted one ofBoston’s Top 10 Sports Moments.
德馬科, 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, 麥克·德燈泡, who is considered one of the most successful amateurs ever to come out of the state of Massachusetts.
D’Ampolo was a 新英格蘭金手套冠軍, 一 3x New England AAU Champ, 一 2x Eastern Regional Championand participated in the1984 奧運選拔賽barely missing a spot on the legendary1984 USA Olympic Teamwith his weight class ultimately being represented by none other than霍利菲爾德.
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, 馬薩諸塞州.
“I’m humbled. 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.”
墨菲拳擊創始人, 肯·凱西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, “勇士的守則”，這是一個讚揚另一新英格蘭拳擊英雄, 米奇沃德.
“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.”
