Living inductees are Former World Champions Leon SpinksMarlon Starling and Greg Haugen and former world title challengers Ernie Shavers and “Iceman” John Scully.

“We are not trying to compete with the other hall of fames in any way, shape or form”, stated Bill Calogero, president of BillyCBoxing. He added, “We want to be the fighters and fight fan’s Hall Of Fame. We are the Blue-Collar-Hall-Of-Fame. Our Hall Of Famers will all posses the same traits, they will all have fought the best, had heart, always gave their all, and most importantly, helped the sport of pro boxing either during or after their boxing career. Over time, the BillyCBoxing Hall Of Fame will feature fighters who would have been competitive in any era, making them Boxing’s best boxers of all time. Our induction weekend will focus on giving these fighters the recognition, accolades and attention they deserve. The full weekend will be dedicated to honoring them and their careers.”

All of the living inductees are scheduled to be at the Induction Celebration Event In South Glens Falls, NY on Saturday November 19. Also in attendance will be several special guests to accept awards for all of the post inductees. There will also be many fighters, trainers and promoters in attendance as well.
