Tony DeMarco won the world welterweight title back in 1955 when he stopped Johnny Saxton. The Boston idol, who headlined more at the Boston Garden than anyone else, fought several world champions, including two violent tussles with Carmen Basillio, Kid Gavilan, Chico Vejar, Denny Moyer, Virgil Akins and Don Jordan.
Now, aged 87 depending on the records you go by, DeMarco was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2019. Here, he talks about his fights, his friendships with the likes of Jake LaMotta and Rocky Marciano and more from his apartment complex in Boston. |
