'''Frank DePaula''' trained at the Bayonne Police Athletic League in Bayonne, New Jersey. He won the 1962 New York [[Golden Gloves]] 175lb Sub-Novice Championship by defeating [[William Sanders]] of the West 28th Street Parks Department Gym in the finals.

DePaula claimed in a 1968 [[Boxing Illustrated]] article that he and Carter once knocked out about ten other inmates in a prison brawl.

Upon his release from prison, DePaula worked as a bouncer. [[Al Braverman]] claimed he was jumped by a dozen guys at the club where DePaula worked, when he and DePaula proceeded to knock out all twelve of their attackers.

DePaula became the second man to deck former Middleweight/Lightheavyweight Champion [[Dick Tiger]], and was credited with knocking down World Lightheavyweight Champion [[Bob Foster]] in their title fight. DePaula was down three times in the first round before that fight was halted.
