For Whom the Bell Tolled: 2022 Boxing Obituaries PART ONE (Jan.-June)
The American flag at the International Boxing Hall of Fame in the village of Canastota is lowered to half-mast whenever a person enshrined in the Hall passes away. That exercise was performed six times in 2022. Among the leave-takers were two all-time greats, the fighter widely considered the best bantamweight ever and the first boxer of Puerto Rican descent to be inducted into the upstate New York shrine.
Here, in our annual year-end report, we pay homage to those six and other boxing notables who departed this earthly realm during the past year.
January
Jan. 5 – JOSEPHINE ABERCROMBIE. Heiress to a Texas oil fortune, Abercrombie founded the Houston Boxing Association in 1982 and for the next seven years was a force on the national boxing scene. The HBA stable included such notables as Frank Tate, Calvin Grove, and Orlando Canizales, all future champions. At age 95 at her thoroughbred horse farm in Versailles, Kentucky.
Jan. 7 – AREST SAAKYAN. The first ring fatality of 2022, Saakyan was knocked out in the eighth and final round of a match in Tolyatti, Russia, and spent 12 days in a coma before he was taken off life support. A super middleweight, Saakyan was 6-2 heading in. He was 26 years old.
Jan. 12 – MARION CONNER. A journeyman light heavyweight who finished 29-23-2, Conner fought extensively in Boston where he split two fights with Tom McNeeley in bouts billed for the New England heavyweight title. He gave up 30 pounds to McNeeley and 20 pounds to Joe Frazier who stopped him in three. At age 81 in Canton, Ohio, his lifelong home, where he was a pillar of the community.
Jan. 20 – BERNARDO CARABALLO. The first Colombian to fight for a world title, Caraballo, a bantamweight, came up short in matches with Eder Jofre (L KO 7) and Fighting Harada (L UD 15). He finished 69-18-5 in a 17-year career that began in 1961. At age 87 in Cartagena where an arena is named for him.
Jan. 20 – PERCY PUGH. A slick boxer who would have gone further if he had packed a harder punch, Pugh fought mostly in his hometown of New Orleans. Remembered for his 4-fight series with future world title-holder Billy Backus, he spent 46 months in the Top 10 of the welterweight rankings of The Ring magazine, advancing to #1 after defeating Oscar Albarado in 1970. At age 81 in New Orleans.
Jan. 23 – ALAIN RUOCCO. He won and lost the French welterweight title in bouts with future world title challenger Louis Acaries and finished 29-8-1 in a 10-year career that began in 1970. In retirement he founded a boxing club and became one of France’s most notable trainers. In Toulon, his lifelong home, at age 76 after suffering a debilitating stroke.
Jan. 25 – BRIAN HUGHES, MBE. A legend in British amateur boxing circles, he produced several British, European, and world title-holders at the Collyhurst Lads Club in Manchester, the gym he founded in 1964. Honored for his work in the community at Buckingham Palace in 2000, he authored several small bios of sporting personalities including Jock McAvoy and Thomas Hearns. At age 82 in Manchester.
February
Feb. 1 – MEL BARKER. From Rockdale, Texas, Barker turned pro in 1955 at age 19 and was a headline attraction in the Lone Star State while his career was still in its infancy. He fought some of the top welterweights of his era and was stopped only twice, finishing 29-17-7. In Austin, Texas, at age 86 where he owned a roofing company.
Feb. 4 – ZOLANI MARALI. Competing primarily as a junior lightweight, he finished 24-6 in a career that began in 2001 in South Africa and ended in 2115 in Namibia. Along the way, he acquired world title belts from two different fringe organizations. At age 46 in Johannesburg where he was shot dead in a presumed gangland hit.
Feb. 9 – RONNIE RUSH. Born in Trinidad, Rush, a junior welterweight, turned pro in 1956 after moving to the U.K. His career was unexceptional (15-16-4) but he achieved local renown as a trainer in Cardiff, Wales, where his pupils included Jane Couch, the first licensed female boxer in Great Britain, and WBO world featherweight title-holder Steve Robinson. At age 87 at a Cardiff nursing home where he was suffering from dementia.
Feb. 15 – BOBBY NEILL. A hard-punching featherweight, born in Scotland, Neill finished 28-7 and briefly held the British 126-pound title. His final fight left him in a coma, but he recovered and remained in boxing as a trainer, steering Alan Minter and Lloyd Honeyghan to world titles. At age 88 in London from COVID-19 complications.
Feb. 17 – GUISSEPE “BEPI” ROS. A bronze medalist at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Ros won and lost the Italian heavyweight title three times. He finished 42-16-2 and was stopped only once in a 12-year career that began in 1965. Ros was suffering from Alzheimer’s when he died from COVID-19 complications in Treviso, Italy, at age 79.
Feb. 25 – EDDIE OWENS. A lifelong resident of Massachusetts, “Red Top” Owens evolved from a leading light heavyweight contender into an “opponent” during a 14-year career in which he finished 39-35-3. In retirement, he worked as a Deputy Sheriff for Hamden County which includes the city of Springfield where he died at age 81.
March
March 2 – ROBERT COHEN. Born in Algeria when that country was a French territory, Cohen was the toast of Paris after winning the vacant world bantamweight title in 1954 before a hostile crowd of 60,000 in Bangkok, Thailand. Plagued by injuries, he lost the title in his second defense and retired two years later with a record of 36-3-3. At age 91 in Brussels, Belgium, where he worked in his father-in-law’s textile business.
March 2 – MIKE MARLEY. At various times a production assistant for Howard Cosell, a PR man for Don King, and the acerbic boxing writer of the New York Post, the multi-faceted Marley, a colorful character, first got involved in boxing at age 13 when he started a fan club for Cassius Clay. At age 71 in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, from complications of Parkinson’s.
March 3 – HERU TITO. Born Heru Putwanto, he succumbed to a head injury suffered in a match four days earlier in Jakarta, Indonesia. A former regional title-holder at 130 pounds, Tito left the ring on a stretcher and never regained consciousness. He was 33 years old.
March 7 – BERKRERK CHARTVANCHAI. A national Muay Thai champion before transitioning to boxing, he became the third fighter from Thailand to win the world flyweight title when he outpointed Bernabe Villacampo in 1970. His reign didn’t last long and he left the sport with a 29-8-3 record, retiring to the life of a postal worker. At age 77 at his home in a suburb of Bangkok.
March 7 – RON STANDER. A brawler from Council Bluffs, Iowa, the “Bluffs Butcher” had two claims to fame. In 1970, he knocked out Earnie Shavers. Three years later, in what has been called the greatest sporting event ever in Omaha, he went four lopsided rounds with heavyweight champion Joe Frazier in a match that was stopped on cuts. In Ralston, Nebraska, at age 77 from complications of diabetes.
April
April 4 – JOHN McNALLY. “Gentleman John” was the first Irish boxer to win an Olympic medal, winning silver at the 1952 Helsinki Games after losing a controversial decision to his Finnish opponent in the finals. He had a brieg pro career, finishing 14-9-2 and then became a professional banjo player as a founding member of a popular Irish folk band. At age 89 in his native Belfast, NI.
April 5 – BORIS POWELL. A national Golden Gloves champion in 1989, Powell, a crafty southpaw, was 30-2 as a pro with one of the losses coming at the hands of future world heavyweight title-holder John Ruiz. At age 57 in his native St. Louis after a 19-month battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
April 16 – AKIO KAMEDA. A rangy southpaw, Kameda had two cracks at the 140-pound world title in the 1980s. He was stopped in six by Aaron Pryor and stopped in seven by Terry Marsh in what was the final fight for both. He finished 27-4 (21). In retirement he worked as a karate instructor and an herbalist. At age 65 in Tokyo of rectal cancer.
May
May 7 – JUERGEN BLIN. Born on a German island in the Baltic Sea, Blin was a butcher by trade before taking up boxing. Knocked out in round seven by Muhammad Ali in 1971, he went on to win the European Heavyweight Title, avenging in earlier defeat to Spain’s Jose Manuel Urtain. He finished 30-12-6. At age 79 in Reinbeck, Germany, from renal disease.
May 14 – MUSA ASKAN YAMAK. A light heavyweight, Yamak suffered a fatal heart attack in a bout at a community center in Garting, Germany. He collapsed after two rounds of action and could not be revived. A 38-year-old native of Turkey, he was 8-0 with 8 KOs heading in.
May 21 — LES BONANO. A former New Orleans police officer, Bonano was the linchpin of boxing in the New Orleans area for more than four decades. In 1974, he started an intramural boxing program at the Orleans Parish Prison and branched out from there, becoming a man who wore many hats — trainer, gym operator, manager, promoter, etc. At age 79 at his home in Slidell, Louisiana.
May 22 – OLEG PRUDKY. A two-time Ukrainian amateur champion whose best win was a 5-round decision over current IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina, Prudky was a war casualty, dying at age 30 while defending his hometown of Cherkasy against Russian invaders. He left behind a wife and two young children.
May 31 – JOHNNY MOLNAR. The Middletown, New Jersey welterweight finished 20-2-2 (10) in an eight-year career that began in 1997 and he had the distinction of appearing in the first “ShoBox” fight, overcoming Victor Rosado at Bally’s Park Place in Atlantic City. He was 47 when he died in an industrial accident at his workplace, a sewerage plant in Middletown.
June
June 7 – SIMISO BUTHELEZI. In the final round of a 10-round fight in Durban, the South African lightweight became disoriented, flailing away with his opponent out of range. The fight was immediately stopped and he was removed to a hospital where he died two days later from a brain bleed. A recent college graduate, Buthelezi, 24, was 4-0 heading in and participating in his first 10-round fight.
June 13 – CARLOS ORTIZ. The first Puerto Rican elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Ortiz won world titles at 140 and 135, in that order. A two-time world lightweight champion, he was 11-2 in lineal title fights and 61-7-1 overall in an 18-year career that began in 1955. At age 85 in the Bronx where he resided for more than 70 years.
June 20 – EDDIE HOPSON.

Usyk Outpoints Fury and Itauma has the “Wow Factor” in Riyadh
Oleksandr Usyk left no doubt that he is the best heavyweight of his generation and one of the greatest boxers of all time with a unanimous decision over Tyson Fury tonight at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. But although the Ukrainian won eight rounds on all three scorecards, this was no runaway. To pirate a line from one of the DAZN talking heads, Fury had his moments in every round but Usyk had more moments.
The early rounds were fought at a faster pace than the first meeting back in May. At the mid-point, the fight was even. The next three rounds – the next five to some observers – were all Usyk who threw more punches and landed the cleaner shots.
Fury won the final round in the eyes of this reporter scoring at home, but by then he needed a knockout to pull the match out of the fire.
The last round was an outstanding climax to an entertaining chess match during which both fighters took turns being the pursuer and the pursued.
An Olympic gold medalist and a unified world champion at cruiserweight and heavyweight, the amazing Usyk improved his ledger to 23-0 (14). His next fight, more than likely, will come against the winner of the Feb. 22 match in Ridayh between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker which will share the bill with the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
Fury (34-2-1) may fight Anthony Joshua next. Regardless, no one wants a piece of Moses Itauma right now although the kid is only 19 years old.
Moses Itauma
Raised in London by a Nigerian father and a Slovakian mother, Itauma turned heads once again with another “wow” performance. None of his last seven opponents lasted beyond the second round.
His opponent tonight, 34-year-old Australian Demsey McKean, lasted less than two minutes. Itauma, a southpaw with blazing fast hands, had the Aussie on the deck twice during the 117-second skirmish. The first knockdown was the result of a cuffing punch that landed high on the head; the second knockdown was produced by an overhand left. McKean went down hard as his chief cornerman bounded on to the ring apron to halt the massacre.

Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs after going 20-0 as an amateur) is the real deal. It was the second straight loss for McKean (22-2) who lasted into the 10th round against Filip Hrgovic in his last start.
Bohachuk-Davis
In a fight billed as the co-main although it preceded Itauma-McKean, Serhii Bohachuk, an LA-based Ukrainian, stopped Ishmael Davis whose corner pulled him out after six frames.
Both fighters were coming off a loss in fights that were close on the scorecards, Bohachuk falling to Vergil Ortiz Jr in a Las Vegas barnburner and Davis losing to Josh Kelly.
Davis, who took the fight on short notice, subbing for Ismail Madrimov, declined to 13-2. He landed a few good shots but was on the canvas in the second round, compliments of a short left hook, and the relentless Bohachuk (25-2, 24 KOs) eventually wore him down.
Fisher-Allen
In a messy, 10-round bar brawl masquerading as a boxing match, Johnny Fisher, the Romford Bull, won a split decision over British countryman David Allen. Two judges favored Fisher by 95-94 tallies with the dissenter favoring Allen 96-93. When the scores were announced, there was a chorus of boos and those watching at home were outraged.
Allen was a step up in class for Fisher. The Doncaster man had a decent record (23-5-2 heading in) and had been routinely matched tough (his former opponents included Dillian Whyte, Luis “King Kong” Ortiz and three former Olympians). But Allen was fairly considered no more than a journeyman and Fisher (12-0 with 11 KOs, eight in the opening round) was a huge favorite.
In round five, Allen had Fisher on the canvas twice although only one was ruled a true knockdown. From that point, he landed the harder shots and, at the final bell, he fell to canvas shedding tears of joy, convinced that he had won.
He did not win, but he exposed Johnny Fisher as a fighter too slow to compete with elite heavyweights, a British version of the ponderous Russian-Canadian campaigner Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Other Bouts of Note
In a spirited 10-round featherweight match, Scotland’s Lee McGregor, a former European bantamweight champion and stablemate of former unified 140-pound title-holder Josh Taylor, advanced to 15-1-1 (11) with a unanimous decision over Isaac Lowe (25-3-3). The judges had it 96-92 and 97-91 twice.
A cousin and regular houseguest of Tyson Fury, Lowe fought most of the fight with cuts around both eyes and was twice deducted a point for losing his gumshield.
In a fight between super featherweights that could have gone either way, Liverpool southpaw Peter McGrail improved to 11-1 (6) with a 10-round unanimous decision over late sub Rhys Edwards. The judges had it 96-95 and 96-94 twice.
McGrail, a Tokyo Olympian and 2018 Commonwealth Games gold medalist, fought from the third round on with a cut above his right eye, the result of an accidental clash of heads. It was the first loss for Edwards (16-1), a 24-year-old Welshman who has another fight booked in three weeks.

Fury-Usyk Reignited: Can the Gypsy King Avenge his Lone Defeat?
In professional boxing, the heavyweight division, going back to the days of John L. Sullivan, is the straw that stirs the drink. By this measure, the fight on May 18 of this year at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was the biggest prizefight in decades. The winner would emerge as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 when Lennox Lewis out-pointed Evander Holyfield in their second meeting.
The match did not disappoint. It had several twists and turns.
Usyk did well in the early rounds, but the Gypsy King rattled Usyk with a harsh right hand in the fifth stanza and won rounds five through seven on all three cards. In the ninth, the match turned sharply in favor of the Ukrainian. Fury was saved by the bell after taking a barrage of unanswered punches, the last of which dictated a standing 8-count from referee Mark Nelson. But Fury weathered the storm and with his amazing powers of recuperation had a shade the best of it in the final stanza.
The decision was split: 115-112 and 114-113 for Usyk who became a unified champion in a second weight class; 114-113 for Fury.
That brings us to tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 21) where Usyk and Fury will renew acquaintances in the same ring where they had their May 18 showdown.
The first fight was a near “pick-‘em” affair with Fury closing a very short favorite at most of the major bookmaking establishments. The Gypsy King would have been a somewhat higher favorite if not for the fact that he was coming off a poor showing against MMA star Francis Ngannou and had a worrisome propensity for getting cut. (A cut above Fury’s right eye in sparring pushed back the fight from its original Feb. 11 date.)
Tomorrow’s sequel, bearing the tagline “Reignited,” finds Usyk a consensus 7/5 favorite although those odds could shorten by post time. (There was no discernible activity after today’s weigh-in where Fury, fully clothed, topped the scales at 281, an increase of 19 pounds over their first meeting.)
Given the politics of boxing, anything “undisputed” is fragile. In June, Usyk abandoned his IBF belt and the organization anointed Daniel Dubois their heavyweight champion based upon Dubois’s eighth-round stoppage of Filip Hrgovic in a bout billed for the IBF interim title. The malodorous WBA, a festering boil on the backside of boxing, now recognizes 43-year-old Kubrat Pulev as its “regular” heavyweight champion.
Another difference between tomorrow’s fight card and the first installment is that the May 18 affair had a much stronger undercard. Two strong pairings were the rematch between cruiserweights Jai Opetaia and Maris Briedis (Opetaia UD 12) and the heavyweight contest between unbeatens Agit Kabayal and Frank Sanchez (Kabayel KO 7).
Tomorrow’s semi-wind-up between Serhii Bohachuk and Ismail Madrimov lost luster when Madrimov came down with bronchitis and had to withdraw. The featherweight contest between Peter McGrail and Dennis McCann fell out when McCann’s VADA test returned an adverse finding. Bohachuk and McGrail remain on the card but against late-sub opponents in matches that are less intriguing.
The focal points of tomorrow’s undercard are the bouts involving undefeated British heavyweights Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) and Johnny Fisher (12-0, 11 KOs). Both are heavy favorites over their respective opponents but bear watching because they represent the next generation of heavyweight standouts. Fury and Usyk are getting long in the tooth. The Gypsy King is 36; Usyk turns 38 next month.
Bob Arum once said that nobody purchases a pay-per-view for the undercard and, years from now, no one will remember which sanctioning bodies had their fingers in the pie. So, Fury-Usyk II remains a very big deal, although a wee bit less compelling than their first go-around.
Will Tyson Fury avenge his lone defeat? Turki Alalshikh, the Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and the unofficial czar of “major league” boxing, certainly hopes so. His Excellency has made known that he stands poised to manufacture a rubber match if Tyson prevails.
We could have already figured this out, but Alalshikh violated one of the protocols of boxing when he came flat out and said so. He effectively made Tyson Fury the “A-side,” no small potatoes considering that the most relevant variable on the checklist when handicapping a fight is, “Who does the promoter need?”
The Uzyk-Fury II fight card will air on DAZN with a suggested list price of $39.99 for U.S. fight fans. The main event is expected to start about 5:45 pm ET / 2:45 pm PT.

Unheralded Bruno Surace went to Tijuana and Forged the TSS 2024 Upset of the Year
The Dec. 14 fight at Tijuana between Jaime Munguia and Bruno Surace was conceived as a stay-busy fight for Munguia. The scuttlebutt was that Munguia’s promoters, Zanfer and Top Rank, wanted him to have another fight under his belt before thrusting him against Christian Mbilli in a WBC eliminator with the prize for the winner (in theory) a date with Canelo Alvarez.
Munguia came to the fore in May of 2018 at Verona, New York, when he demolished former U.S. Olympian Sadam Ali, conqueror of Miguel Cotto. That earned him the WBO super welterweight title which he successfully defended five times.
Munguia kept winning as he moved up in weight to middleweight and then super middleweight and brought a 43-0 (34) record into his Cinco de Mayo 2024 match with Canelo.
Jaime went the distance with Alvarez and had a few good moments while losing a unanimous decision. He rebounded with a 10th-round stoppage of Canada’s previously undefeated Erik Bazinyan.
There was little reason to think that Munguia would overlook Surace as the Mexican would be fighting in his hometown for the first time since February of 2022 and would want to send the home folks home happy. Moreover, even if Munguia had an off-night, there was no reason to think that the obscure Surace could capitalize. A Frenchman who had never fought outside France, Surace brought a 25-0-2 record and a 22-fight winning streak, but he had only four knockouts to his credit and only eight of his wins had come against opponents with winning records.
It appeared that Munguia would close the show early when he sent the Frenchman to the canvas in the second round with a big left hook. From that point on, Surace fought mostly off his back foot, throwing punches in spurts, whereas the busier Munguia concentrated on chopping him down with body punches. But Surace absorbed those punches well and at the midway point of the fight, behind on the cards but nonplussed, it now looked as if the bout would go the full 10 rounds with Munguia winning a lopsided decision.
Then lightning struck. Out of the blue, Surace connected with an overhand right to the jaw. Munguia went down flat on his back. He rose a fraction-of-a second before the count reached “10,”, but stumbled as he pulled himself upright. His eyes were glazed and referee Juan Jose Ramirez, a local man, waived it off. There was no protest coming from Munguia or his cornermen. The official time was 2:36 of round six.
At major bookmaking establishments, Jaime Munguia was as high as a 35/1 favorite. No world title was at stake, yet this was an upset for the ages.
