From Henry Hascup:
It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you of the passing of longtime boxing trainer Frank “Fifo” Toledo. Fifo trained his 2 sons, Frankie Jr., who went on to become the IBF Featherweight Champion and David who will be Inducted into the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame at our next event.
Fifo trained boxers out of several gyms in Paterson, New Jersey, including the Lou Costello Club and Joe Grier’s BA, he will be missed by so many of us!
In 2001 southpaw Frankie “The Shark” Toledo, Jr., became IBF Featherweight champion ending his career with a 43-7-1 (18) record. His brother southpaw David, 34-3-2 (15), drew in fighting for the IBF Inter-Continental featherweight title then lost in a second effort.
Frankie “The Shark” Toledo was IBF champ in 2001. His brother David “Holy” Toledo fought to a TD for the IBF Inter-Continental title.
