Our Inspiration
Gina’s single father, Joey Giambra, was born in Buffalo, NY, and one of 14 children.
He was known as the Buffalo Adonis, a middleweight boxer from 1949-1963; it was the era when boxing announcements transitioned from radio to TV. Giambra was a prized fighter, defeating two middleweight champions and two others who fought for the championship. Although his refusal to take dives curtailed the chance of a title, he was well known amongst the top contenders, premiering a record of 33 times on TV. Rightfully so, his new alias became “The Uncrowned Champion” of the middleweight division. He was virtually elected into every boxing hall of fame, including the creme de la creme – World Boxing Hall of Fame.
Giambra stressed the importance of stretching and massaging the muscles, not only for recovery from hard training, but as a way to minimize injury. He truly treated his body as a temple and looked 20 years younger than his age.
After his boxing career, he resided in Las Vegas, Nevada and worked as a boxing referee and a Caesar’s Palace blackjack dealer. As a single father, Giambra also dedicated his efforts to the development of a youth foundation, “Knock Out Drugs.” In his honor, Gina and team are donating a portion of proceeds to charity.
