An orphan, Apostoli won the Pacific Coast Junior Welterweight championship, Golden Gloves Middleweight championship, and the National AAU middleweight championship in 1934, and turned pro later that year. He quickly moved up the ladder and fought future middleweight champion Freddie Steele within his first seven months as a professional. Although, the more experienced Steele stopped him in 10 rounds, Apostoli went on to defeat top fighters such as Swede Berglund, Babe Marino, Babe Risko, Solly Krieger and Lou Brouillard to become the leading contender for the world championship. Eventually, Apostoli was matched with title claimant Marcel Thil; he defeated the Frenchman via a 10th round TKO. The New York Boxing Commission, however, still recognized Freddie Steele as champion. In 1938, Apostoli fought Steele in a non-title rematch and avenged his earlier defeat with a 9th round KO.

    Name: Teddy Yarosz Career Record: click Nationality: US American Hometown: Monaca, Pennsylvania, USA Born: 1910-06-24 Died: 1974-03-29 Age at Death: 63 Height: 5′ 10″ Reach: 184 Manager: Ray Fouts Another photo Brother of fellow boxer Tommy Yarosz Featured on the cover of the January 1934 The Ring magazine The Tyrone (PA) Daily Herald 12 Sept 1934 Teddy Yarosz Is New Middleweight King Gets decision in 15 Rounds Over Vince Dundee Teddy Yarosz, youthful boxing idol oof the steel district, ruled the middleweight class today by lifting the crown from titleholder Vince Dundee in a 15 round split decision battle here last night. Yarosz dethroned the champion but the chorus of boos that greeted the verdict showed it was far from a popular verdict. Two judges split the decision and it was left to Al Grayber, referee of Pittsburgh , to cast the deciding vote in favour of the Monaca battler. The battle,marked by an absence of punching power on the part of both fighters, lacked the colour and glamour of a title match. It was exceedingly tame and not altogether pleasing to the crowd of 28,000. Unofficial scores gave Yarosz a slight edge in six rounds and four to Dundee. Five were even. But the dethroned champion forced the issue. He kept pressing in and followed the challenger as Yarosz resorted to his peculiar style of combat. He continually pushed his left hand into Dundee’s face and then circled the ring. Neither battler displayed any hitting power. Dundee’s weaving style and his experience caused Yarosz to miss frequently but the loser found it difficult to land any telling blows.

    International Boxing Research Organization Newsletter #26 September 1987 From: Tim Leone Sorry about being a week late on the last Newsletter, but I broke another copyer and it was necessary to have the copy work done by a printing company. To date there has been a total of 90,000 feet of 8mm and S8mm requested for transfer, about 8,000 feet of 16mm and 58 hours of VHS duplication requested. I'm surprised that Castle Films is no longer in business. Again, I must express gratitude to those members who took time to write and phone their encourgement over the resumption of the Newsletter. The organization is a joint venture involving all of us. Without the support of the membership, none of this would be possible. -- Long Live Boxing -- I am involved in doing research in the pre-1932 years of the career of Tiger Jack Fox. At the moment there are numerous verifications of main event matches between the years of 1925 and 1932 for him. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. In this Newsletter, Thanks must go to the following gentlemen for their contributions: Tracy Callis, Dave Block, Paul Zabala, Bob Soderman, Lawrence Fielding, John Grasso, John Hibner, and Lucketta Davis. 1 V-1 E I F ID I FzECTOFt "V F" 1J A E NEW MEMBERS Jack Barry 33 Skyline Drive West Haven, CT 06516 Phone (203) 933-6651 Mr. Barry is interested in professional boxing from the bareknuckle era to 1959 in the U.S.A.

    Name: Young Corbett III Career Record: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php ?human_id=031319&cat=boxer Alias: Raffaele Capabianca Giordano Nationality: US American Birthplace: Protenza, Italy Hometown: Fresno, California, USA Born: 1905-05-27 Died: 1993-07-15 Age at Death: 88 Stance: Southpaw Height: 5′ 7½″ Division: Welterweight Managers: Larry White, Ralph Manfredo Cousin to fellow boxer Al Manfredo Born Rafelle Capabianca Giordano on May 27, 1905, near Naples, Italy. Known as "Ralph" to his friends. He and his family came to the United States shortly thereafter, settling in Pittsburgh and moving to Fresno in 1909. He learned to box while selling newspapers on a Fresno street corner. Giordano became Young Corbett III when the ring announcer at his first bout didn't like the sound of "Ralph Giordano." He was a Fresno, California-area raisin grower during his boxing days (and perhaps afterward as well). In September 1933 he became the physical instructor for the California Highway Patrol (550 patrolmen). He was also recognized as World Middleweight Champion in California following his victory over Fred Apostoli in a bout in San Francisco over the Middleweight limit in 1938. His recognition as champion ended when Apostoli stopped him in a rematch. His great-grandson Matt Giordano is an American football safety who played at the University of California, Berkeley, and currently plays for the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.[1] Chester Times, Chester PA 19 November 1938 JACOB STOOGES CROWN CHAMP Fred Apostoli Wins 8 Round TKO Over Corbett For N.Y.

  • Brooklyn Welcomes Back World Championship Boxing After 80 Year Absence
    BROOKLYN WELCOMES BACK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING AFTER 80 YEAR ABSENCE BROOKLYN, NY (October 10). When world championship boxing returns to Brooklyn, New York for the first time since 1931 at the brand new Barclays Center on Saturday, October 20, it will do so with one of its own. Reigning WBA World Welterweight Champion Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi, fresh off of a masterful championship capturing upset of undefeated Ukrainian Vyacheslav Senchenko in Senchenko’s hometown of Donetsk, will attempt to defend his title for the first time in his home borough against rugged Mexican Pablo Cesar Cano. Malignaggi, sure to be the hometown favorite, is part of a long legacy in the squared circle. Brooklyn has been the birthplace of some of the biggest and most storied names in the history of boxing. As Malignaggi prepares for Cano, a reflection on the shadows hovering over his homecoming reminds us just how much glory there is in the Brooklyn boxing tradition. No shadow extends farther than that of Brooklyn’s most famous fistic son. Kid Dynamite . Iron Mike . .Tyson.
