John DiSanto: Preserving Philadelphia's Boxing History, Muhammad Ali's Deer Lake Camp, And A Gravestone For Gil Turner
Boxing historian John DiSanto has run the PhillyBoxingHistory website for more than 20 years and he has made it a mission to preserve as much of Philadelphia's boxing history as possible.
Among his many projects is raising funds for gravestones for deceased fighters buried in unmarked graves and, among others, he has done that for Tyrone Everrett and Matthew Saad Muhammad. He is presently raising funds for a headstone for former contender Gil Turner. (Click here to donate https://www.gofundme.com/f/gil-turner-gravestone-fund)
