Exclusive Interview by Anthony “Zute” George
For boxing fans, when they hear, Youngstown, Ohio, they cannot help but think of Ray Mancini. Indeed, there was a proud boxing tradition in Youngstown long before “Boom Boom” laced ‘em up; such as Ray’s dad Lenny Mancini, Jimmy Jones, and Tony Janiro. But Ray picked up the boxing torch at a time where it was not lit for a long time, “There was a long period of time where nobody was turning pro (from Youngstown, Ohio). If they did, they became road warriors. Nobody knew them. I was the first one that turned pro that stood in Youngstown. I was proud that I kind of led the way again.” Ray fought as a professional in Ohio on a handful of occasions and was always recognized as a Youngstown fighter.
