A boxer in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, he lost the championship versus Emile Griffith twice. However, he still holds the record for the most fights ever in the Boston Garden. After holding a position as a chairman on the Human Service Committee for about ten years, he now serves as the Auditor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a position he has held since 1987.

He has five children and thirteen grandchildren, and is married to Barbara DeNucci. He is a member of the Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame.
