Hello,

Paddy was Yvon Durelle trainer and corner man for a few years. I am trying to get more information on Paddy. Per Yvon Durelle buddy, there was an article on Paddy in the Ring Magazine around 1970. Paddy deceased around those years.

Can you help me locate Paddy family in the United States? Do you have more information on Paddy, articles, pictures, etc.?

Thanks for helping out.

No kidding, I'm still looking to find historical information on Paddy Colavito, a veteran boxing trainer. Paddy was in Yvon corner, like many other previous title fights, on December 10, 1958, at the Montreal Forum, for his light-heavyweight title fight against Archie Moore. Paddy was a New Yorker. To find Paddy, just this year, I've called (telephone) several Colavito family names in the New York area. Still no luck in finding him.

Can you help me with the above?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Happy New Year! and keep

Robert Richard
