Carmen Basilio, The Upstate Onion Farmer - From Canastota, NY but trained in Alex Bay/Watertown area, Watertown

Tucked up against the bustling I-90 outside of Syracuse, NY with the glitz of Turning Stone Resort & Casino looming on the horizon sits a little town of just over 4,000 people. The Thruway junction lets you off to an open intersection featuring a McDonald’s, two abandoned hotels, a Native-owned gas station and slot parlor, the International Boxing Hall of Fame and a terribly aged Italian restaurant made to look like a castle, a la Monty Python, for whatever reason.

Wait, International Boxing Hall of Fame?
