NJ Boxing Hall of Fame Dinner

As you might know, his father Charlie Norkus Sr., was a top 10 rated heavyweight back in the mid-1950’s, who fought and beat such standouts as Charle Powell, Roland LaStarza and Danny Nardico twice. If you want to see a great fight, just watch their first fight, it was a real classic! He also fought such Greats as Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Willie Pastrano and Tommy Jackson.

We also thank all of the other people who donated such as Mike Mastandrea, Robert Mladinich, John McKaie, Kevin Archer, Allen Huggins, Bobby Cassidy and Nelson Fernandez.

We thank Dennis Murphy Sr., for the work he does when people pay by credit card.

We also thank Ricardo Salazar for the beautiful AD Journal, Bob Miller for their video work and Ray Bailey, for taking photos during the night, PLUS Akbar Muhammad, who sang the National Anthem.

We want to thank the Committee that worked the door which included Jack Hoffman, Dennis Murphy, Stefani Belloise and Robert O’Connell.

We thank our Commissioner, Larry Hazzard, who adds so much to our event, along with Jackie Atkins and Smad Haq, for all the work they do!

Finally, we want to thank all those who took the time out to attend the event.

Danny McDermott (Boxer): Induction Day, sitting and thinking about the blessings I’ve received and the obstacles I’ve overcome in this life. Very grateful for the friends and family who have stuck by me up to this point. I thank God for His life lessons he’s taught me, the pain, the loss, the embarrassing moments, the regret, the good times, the great times and the beautiful memories I was gifted in this life. I’m grateful for it all!
