ATHLETICS

Spanakos Twins Inducted into
Golden Gloves Hall of Fame
The AHEPA Athletic Department
congratulates the brothers
Spanakos, Petros and Nikos,
upon their induction into the
New York Daily News Golden
Gloves Hall of Fame, at
Brooklyn's Barclays Center on
April 17, 2014. The twins, Petros
and Nikos, are proud members
of the AHEPA Athletic Hall of
Fame, both inducted in the Class
of 1989.
Petros and Nikos, who have
remained very true to their
Hellenic roots and continue to
be very much involved in the
Order of AHEPA, were inducted
for their boxing exploits. From
1955 - 1964 Petros was a 10-time
undefeated
Golden
Glove
Champion, an unprecedented

feat, and Nikos won seven times.
Petros won a bronze medal
at the Pan-American games in
Chicago in 1959, and Nikos represented the United States at
the 1960 Olympics in Rome, as
a member of the United States
Olympic team. The Hall of Fame
Induction was held during the
intermission of the Championship
round of this year's Golden Gloves
competition.
At the Pan-American games
in Chicago in 1959, Casius Clay
(the future Mohammed Ali) was
Petros' roommate, and at the
Rome Olympic games in 1960
he was Nikos' Olympic roommate, and the Spanakos boys
have remained friends with
Mohammed Ali to this day.

The Spanakos Twins now and then.
