I want to personally thank the Ring 4 board of directors for selecting me to join this prestigious brotherhood of honored members. It’s a wonder- ful feeling.” Cuoco has been a lifelong friend of boxing, from the time he was a youngster until the present day. During his early youth, he was an enthusiastic fan. en, as he got older, he engaged in amateur boxing until an injury forced an exit from it. His interest persisted, however, and he followed the sport, studied its history and researched all the fighters - of every weight class in ev- ery time period of boxing history. As his knowledge increased, he began to examine old newspapers, microfilm, etc., and construct ca- reer records for all the men, val- idating the data that existed and discovering new and rare data for many boxers. Later, Dan became an active member of the Internation- al Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) and, afterwards, accepted Directorship of the group. Since as- suming that responsibility, he has done an outstanding job of increas- ing membership, addressing and re- solving problems in various areas for the group, producing a quar- terly journal that contains rare his- torical research, articles about past bouts and pertinent news regarding events related to boxing. Under his direction, IBRO has become an au- thoritative voice in many aspects of today’s boxing world. Cuoco grew up in Somerville and Tewksbury, Mass. He resided in Bil- lerica, Mass. from 1982 until his move to Amherst, N.H. in 2006. Cuoco holds a BS in Human Re- sources from Northeastern Uni- versity and worked for EG&G, Inc. for over 30 years.

Dan Cuoco Inducted into the Ring 4 Boxing Hall of Fame

Dan Cuoco of Amherst was in-ducted into the Ring 4 Boxing Hall of Fame along with Ted Sares, Peter Welch and the late Dave Foley at the Ring 4 annual banquet in Dorches-ter, Mass. on Sunday, April 7.

Ring 4 was incorporated in 1947 and is the only boxing organiza-tion in Massachusetts. Over the decades, Ring 4 has kept the flame alive while fulfilling its mission to assist former boxers who have fallen on hard times.

“I want to congratulate my fel-low inductees,” Cuoco said. “It’s a humbling honor to be here today and be part of this great ceremony. I want to personally thank the Ring 4 board of directors for selecting me to join this prestigious brotherhood of honored members. It’s a wonder-ful feeling.”

Cuoco has been a lifelong friend of boxing, from the time he was a youngster until the present day. During his early youth, he was an enthusiastic fan. Then, as he got older, he engaged in amateur boxing until an injury forced an exit from it. His interest persisted, however, and he followed the sport, studied its history and researched all the fighters - of every weight class in ev-ery time period of boxing history.

As his knowledge increased, he began to examine old newspapers, microfilm, etc., and construct ca-reer records for all the men, val-

idating the data that existed and discovering new and rare data for many boxers. Later, Dan became an active member of the Internation-al Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) and, afterwards, accepted Directorship of the group.
