Randy Neumann

Randy Neumann, born and raised in Cliffside Park, New Jersey [ [http://www.njboxinghof.org/cgi-bin/henryseehof.pl?70 Randy Neumann] , New jersey Boxing Hall of Fame. Accessed November 14, 2007.] in 1948, is a former professional boxer who has been a referee for the New York State Athletic Commission since 1982. He has been the "third man" in many championship boxing matches that have taken place in Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Boxer

As a boxer, he compiled a professional record of 31 wins (11 by way of knockout) and 7 loses in 38 contests. In his career, he faced the likes of Jimmy Young, Chuck Wepner, and Jerry Quarry. He was ranked as high as the #9 contender for the Heavyweight championship. However, after graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey with a degree in business in 1975, he decided to retire from boxing.

Neumann wrote an article about himself that was published in the July 1974 issue of Sport.

Though he came back for one more bout against Ibar Arrington on April 15, 1977, he retired from prizefighting for good to focus on forming a financial planning company, Randy Neumann and Associates, Inc., which currently oversees over $80 million in assests.

Referee

In 1982, he telephoned John Condon (president of Madison Square Garden Boxing) and expressed interest in being a referee. After Condon put in a good word with the New York State Athletic Commission, they started using him as a ringside judge. Before long, he had his first assignment as a referee in a four-round bout at the Felt Forum (a part of Madison Square Garden).

Neumann is now a widely respected figure within the boxing community and has worked in the ring for countless title fights involving champions including Mike Tyson, Meldrick Taylor, Buddy McGirt, Chris Byrd, Evander Holyfield, John Ruiz, and many others.
