Matt Farrago(I)
- Actor
Matt Farrago was born in 1961 in the Bronx, but grew up on Long Island. Boxing was not part of his upbringing. Not a good amateur boxer, he adapted much better to the style of a professional fighter. His thoughts were only to make enough money to pay his way through medical school.
On August 25, 1988, he took his first loss after 25 straight wins. It was a very close fight, but he was stopped on cuts in the 8th round. He was abandoned in the locker room by his team, and he never heard from his manager again. His career seemed pretty much over. Matt fought two more times without any managerial support, but the fire and passion was gone. His career was over with a 26-2 record.
After picking himself up, Matt became a school teacher with a BS in Biology and a BS in Physical Education that he received from Cortland State University. He got into sales and eventually found his way into selling medical devices and medical implants in the operating room. He works in hospitals throughout Long Island and the surrounding boroughs.
In 2010, he founder and became the President of the most successful and accomplished "Not for Profit Boxing Organizations in the world, Ring 10 of New York. Ring 10 devotes 100% of all profits to helping fighters "to get back on their feet." Whether it is a food card, rent funds, clothing, medicine or a working position, Ring never lets a fighter down.
