Vitali Klitschko

2006-09-19T15:46:23Z

Mad Bomber:

[[file:Vitali.jpg|left|Vitali Klitschko]]
<boxer>007033</boxer>
'''Trainer''': [[Fritz Sdunek]] 
'''Manager''': Self 
'''Cut Man''': Joe Souza
 
Vitali Klitschko (Ukrainian: Кличко Віталій Володимирович), is a former WBC Heavyweight Champion.

Klitschko announced his retirement on November 9, 2005, after undergoing knee surgery which postponed his scheduled November 12, 2005 WBC Heavyweight title defense against Hasim Rahman. Klitschko had been plagued by injuries in 2005, having had to cancel two other previous bouts with Rahman due to thigh and back problems. Following his third postponment, Klitschko had been given an ultimatum by the [[WBC]] to face Rahman within 60 days, or have his title awarded to Rahman, who is the interim champion. However, Klitschko is expected to have a recovery time of six months due to the knee surgery on his ligament.

== Political Aspirations ==
Klitschko has expressed a desire to enter politics in his native country Ukraine. He ran for mayor of Kiev and parliament in the Ukranian elections on March 26, 2006. Klitschko is a supporter of current Ukranian president Viktor Yushchenko and his party, '''Our Ukraine''', and was seen at Yuschenko's side during the 2004 Orange Revolution, which ultimately resulted in Yuschenko's election as president. Preliminary results indicate that Klitschko received 22% of the vote for mayor in the election; placing him in a tie for 2nd with incumbent mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko, but trailing lawmaker Leonid Chernovetskiy, who received 30%. Klitschko's aspirations for parliament also appear to have come up unsuccesful as well, as his party appeared to have recieved less than the 3%, necessary to earn representation in the new parliament.

==Amateur Highlights==
*'''1995''' won the silver medal at the World Championships at Superheavyweight in Berlin. Results were:
** Defeated [[Gitas Juskevicius]] (Lithuania) RSC-2
** Defeated [[Attila Levin]] (Sweden) DSQ-2
** Defeated [[Rene Monse]] (Germany) PTS (6-5)
** Lost to [[Alexei Lezin]] (Russia) PTS (3-12)

*'''1995''' won the gold medal at the Military World Championships in Ariccia, Italy at Superheavywweight. Results were:
** Defeated [[Kenneth Horsley]] (USA) AB-1
** Defeated [[Svilen Rusinov]] (Bulgaria) RSC-1
** Defeated [[Drago Mijic]] (Croatia) WO
** Defeated [[Alexei Lezin]] (Russia) PTS (10-6)

== Miscellaneous Info ==
*Brother of fellow boxer [[Boxer:Wladimir Klitschko:007035|Wladimir Klitschko]]
*Son of an Ukrainian Army General
*Amateur Record: 210 Fights,195 Wins (80 KOs)
*Earned a PhD in Physical Education
*Before his Boxing Career multiple Kickboxing World Champion

'''Born:''' 29 Sept (?) 1911 (Hillsboro, MS, USA) 
'''Died:''' 10 October 2001 (Las Vegas, NV, USA)(natural causes)

== Boxing Career ==
Eddie Futch boxed out of Detroit as an amateur, winning the Detroit Athletic Association Championship (1932) and the Detroit [[Golden Gloves]] (1933) as a lightweight. He was prevented from entering the professional ranks due to a heart murmur. He was a stablemate and sparring partner of highly-rated welterweight and middleweight [[Boxer:Holman_Williams:009968|Holman Williams]], and future world heavyweight champion [[Boxer:Joe_Louis:009027|Joe Louis]], before leaving the sport for over a decade.

== Trainer of Champions ==
Futch re-emerged as a trainer of amateur and professionals in the 1950s. He guided his first pupil, [[Boxer:Don_Jordan:009709|Don Jordan]], to the world welterweight championship in 1958. Ultimately, he trained 21 world champions before retiring in 1998. He proclaimed [[Boxer:Joe_Frazier:000147|Joe Frazier]] as his favorite fighter.

His official record per the 1965 [[Ring Record Book]] reads 137 total bouts with 20 KOs, 16 wins by decision, 11 draws and 6 losses, 2 of the losses by KO, and 84 fights were of the [[no decision]] variety.

Fighters he trained include:
* Al McCoy
* Johnny Risko
* Jersey Joe Walcott (Beginning of Career)1930-34
* Arturo Godoy
* Cesar Brion
* Rocky Marciano

'''George Benton''' was born in 1933, one of eleven children. He grew up in Philadelphia and as a teenager discovered boxing. He turned pro at the age of 16, and by the 1950s and '60s was a top-rated middleweight contender known for his classic boxing skills. He posted wins over the likes of [[Joey Giardello]] and[[ Jimmy Ellis]]. He retired in 1970.

Benton then turned his attention to training. He studied under [[Eddie Futch]] and was in [[Joe Frazier]]'s corner for "The Thrilla in Manilla." He also orchestrated the strategy of [[Leon Spinks]]'s upset of [[Muhammad Ali]].

Known for his quiet demeanor, the "Professor" has imparted his boxing knowledge to such fighters as [[Evander Holyfield]], [[Leon Spinks]], [[Mike McCallum]], [[Pernell Whitaker]], [[Meldrick Taylor]], [[Rocky Lockridge]], and [[Johnny Bumphus]], among others.

For 17 years, Benton worked together with [[Lou Duva]] and Main Events as the head trainer for many of their fighters. In both 1989 and 1990, he was awarded with the [[John Condon Award|John FX Condon Award]] for [[Boxing Writers' Association of America Trainer of the Year Award|"Trainer of the Year"]] by the [[Boxing Writers' Association of America]].

Benton was inducted into the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] for his work as a trainer.

Ignacio Beristain

2006-07-09T16:53:39Z

Mad Bomber:

'''Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain"''' is a Mexico City based boxing trainer and manager, who is considered by many to be Mexico's top trainer. He currently is the trainer of the Marquez brothers; [[Juan Manuel Marquez|Juan Manuel]] and [[Rafael Marquez|Rafael]], who hold world titles at Featherweight and Bantamweight, respectively.

Beristain's first world champion was longtime Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight champion [[Daniel Zaragoza]]. Beristain also guided [[Gilberto Roman]] to the WBC Super Flyweight title. In the 1990s, Beristain handled the highly regarded Strawweight and Light Flyweight champion [[Ricardo Lopez]].

Beristain's boxers have acquired a reputation over time, for their technical skills in the ring. However, he has been criticized by boxing writers, such as Dan Rafael and Steve Kim, for his cautious handling of the Marquez brothers, and failing to get them signficant fights in recent years.

Dick Sadler

Mad Bomber:

<boxer>218719</boxer>

Sadler is best known as the trainer and manager of World Heavyweight Champion [[George Foreman]] during the first half of his career in the 1970s. He also trained World Junior Middleweight champion [[Boxer:Freddie_Little:023156|Freddie Little]].

In an early 1980s column by ''Los Angeles Times'' sports columnist Jim Murray, which was syndicated throughout the United States, Sadler claimed to have rode the rails out to the West Coast during the mid-30s. While there his train stopped in Spokane, and he first started working with fighters. Sadler would tell Murray that the first fighter he worked with was [[Boxer:Tiger_Jack_Fox:034979|Tiger Jack Fox]].

It should be noted that research of the Spokane newspaper, the ''Spokesman-Review'', has not uncovered any mention of Sadler working with Fox in Spokane. Fox's trainer during the 1930s was [[Billy Nelson]].

In 1970, the Boxing Writer's Assocation of America awarded Sadler the [[Al Buck Award]], for manager of the year.
