In closing, I want to respectfully pay tribute to my friend Don Fraser who passed away on October 31, 2019, at the age of 92.  He was the true “Mr. Boxing” in every sense of the word. He was a great mentor to many and his accomplishments in boxing include promoter, matchmaker, publicist, writer, corner man, Executive Officer for the California Athletic Commission, President of the Golden State Boxer’s Association, and President and Founder of the California Boxing Hall of Fame, a position from which he retired in December 2018.

Don was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1987 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005. He was also honored in a special ceremony, “Salute To Don Fraser”, by the National Boxing Hall of Fame in 2018.

Prior to my own induction on September 22, 2007 into the California Boxing Hall of Fame, Senior Sports writer Mark Patton wrote a feature article for our local Santa Barbara News Press. He called Don Fraser for his comments and here’s a small excerpt of Don’s words from that article piece:

“David’s boxing collection is wall-to-wall, and it’s everywhere in his home,” said Don Fraser, president of the California Boxing Hall of Fame. “He has things in his bathrooms, his bedroom, all the walls in the kitchen, the garage.”

“There are a lot of people interested in boxing and collecting and whatnot — we have several here (in Los Angeles) — but I don’t think they match David’s energy and interest.”

“Martinez’s collection includes an over 100-year-old cigar box with a picture of heavyweight champion Jim Jeffries on the cover. He was the original Great White Hope who fought Jack Johnson (in 1910),” he pointed out.

“The thing about David is that he’s a genuinely nice guy,” Fraser said. “You run across guys who do this sort of thing to make money, but he’s not looking for something for himself.”

“He does all this out of the goodness of his heart.”

I will never forget Don Fraser as a friend and for his wealth of boxing knowledge that he honorably shared with everyone. May his soul rest peacefully in heaven.
