'''Dewey Bozella''' was falsely imprisoned for 26 years at Sing-Sing Prison for a 1977 murder he did not commit before being exonerated. He made his professional boxing debut at age 52. [http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ki-bozella_boxing_victory101511] Bozella was the Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion of Sing-Sing Prison.

===Bozella Versus Larry Hopkins===
In a bout seen on HBO after Hopkins-Dawson (due to the short ending of the bout) videotaped earlier, 52 year old cruiserweight Dewey Bozella won a four round decision over Larry Hopkins (confusing but no relation to Bernard Hopkins) in his professional debut. Bozella served 26 years in Sing-Sing Prison for a murder he did not commit and was later exonerated of. Bernard Hopkins made Bozella's dream of realizing his first professional fight come true. Bozella got a call wishing him good luck before the bout from President Barack Obama. Amazingly, Bozella was in far superior physical condition than his 30 year old foe. Hopkins was penalized a point in round four for spitting out his mouthpiece six times to avoid further punishment!
