Paris Apice won the 1928 Rhode Island and New England Amateur Flyweight titles.

Won National Junior AAU, Apr. 25, 1929 at Chicago, W 3 over Woodrow Williams of St. Louis in finals and w 4 Manuel Villareal in semis.

Also in 1929, according to the 1934 edition of POST BOXING RECORD, he had won the Rhode Island, New England, and International Championships (May) at Chicago, in the flyweight division.

The published professional records of Apice are partial and filled with errors. The record compiled for BoxRec comes mostly from the Boston Globe, Washington and Baltimore newspapers, the New York Times, and other newspaper sources.

The following fights are listed in Apice's record, published in the 1934 and 1935 EVERLAST BOXING RECORD and the 1934 POST BOXING RECORD, but have not been verified:

• Hughie King, W Pts 6 (1931)
• Tony Madeiros, Fall River MA, W Pts 10 (1/5/34)
• Frankie Smith, Salem MA, L Pts 10 (9/24/34)

The Smith fight evidently involved Pancho Villa as Smith's opponent, instead of Apice.

There are some misspellings of opponents of Apice in his published records, for instance: "Joe De Junbach" for Joe Diefenbach; "Al De Nova" for Alberto DeNave; "Harry Edmonds" for Henry Emond; "Nemo Mudiaz" for Nemo Madayag.

Some fights that appeared earlier in the BoxRec record have been eliminated because they could not be verified. For instance, Apice did not fight Joey Spangler in Richmond, Virginia, in 1938 and he did not make a comeback in 1940 (the two fights being listed in that year having actually occurred earlier).
