Nelson Cuevas, whose devotion to boxing spanned parts of six decades, died Friday from coronavirus. Cuevas was 80. His widow confirmed Cuevas' death to New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame president Henry Hascup. An amateur standout, New York's Cuevas was a pro welterweight from 1964-70, before late legend Cus D'Amato convinced him to start training boxers. Cuevas opened his own gym, the Apollo Boxing Club, in 1976 in the Bronx, where a young Mike Tyson worked with Cuevas at one time.
