Alvin F. Berkwitt: An Amazing Father & A Son’s Mentor Into The World of Boxing

Tribute by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

Where did 51 years go? Only seven years old, but watching boxing with my late father Alvin in 1975 on a TV with huge rabbit ears, you know the kind where you would have to bend them to get the picture to come in. I can remember that year seeing countless numbers of fights, and it was a time when NBC, ABC, and CBS all had boxing in their schedules.

I long for those days and, with those days, for my father who is the very ink that is on this piece.
