Dempsey and Basilio Dominate Early Boxing Honors
Dempsey at 42 held the heavyweight title from 1919 to 1926 and later became a referee promoter and sponsor. Basilio, a rising star from upstate New York, moved from welter to middleweight by a split decision over Sugar Ray Robinson at Yankee Stadium on September 23. He is the first boxer to win the Neil Trophy twice, first earning it in 1955 after taking the welter crown from Tony DeMarco. The Neil Trophy, boxing’s top honor, is awarded annually to the fighter of the year or the person who advanced the sport most, named for an Associated Press writer killed in Spain in 1938.
