Joe Miceli fought twelve World Champions during his professional career, yet he himself never received a title shot.

Bobby Nelson managed Joe Miceli from February 1949 until August 1953. Harry Stickevers bought his contract in September 1953.

After his boxing career ended, he was an active member of Ring 8--New York City's chapter of the Veterans Boxing Association, which honored him as the "Uncrowned Champion," presenting him with a belt.

In April of 1997, he was inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame on November 14, 2002; and the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame on April 3, 2016.

Miceli had three siblings: Dominick, John, and Marie. He was married 53 years to Catherine Tuzzo, his high-school sweetheart; they had two sons, Anthony and Joseph.
