He promoted the sport of boxing and professional wrestling throughout his career. Weston started Pro Wrestling Illustrated, a professional wrestling magazine, as well as 20 other magazines over his career. Weston was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2006. Publishing careerWeston became enamored with the sport of boxing at the age of 10 after his father brought home a copy of The Ring magazine.[1] At the age of 13, Weston met neighbor and The Ring founder Nat Fleischer and later landed a summer job as a stock boy at the publication.[1] Weston was soon colorizing black and white portraits of boxing figures with oils. In December 1939, Weston, a budding artist, painted a portrait of Billy Conn that would be the first of 57 Ring covers.[1][7] Daughter Toby Weston Cone said of her father, he "never liked going to boxing matches but was extremely interested in the sport. He felt it paralleled life in many ways."[2] Weston, a retired Air Force major, had served in both World War II and in Korea. He took a four-year leave in 1941 to serve in the Air Force during World War II.[1] He returned to civilian life and The Ring in 1945, but left the publication in 1951.[1] He served in the Korean War,[2] and then he launched Boxing & Wrestling, successfully competing with The Ring. He launched Boxing Illustrated/Wrestling News in 1958 and published it until 1964.[1] In 1989, Fifty-two years after joining The Ring as a stock boy, Weston purchased the magazine that gave him his first job.[1][2] He was also an author who penned several of the definitive books on boxing history, including History of the Heavyweights, The Heavyweight Champions, The Best of The Ring, The Chronicle of Boxing and, with Steve Farhood, The Ring: Boxing the 20th Century. Personal lifeWeston was born to Bessie (Biegeleisen) and Jacob Weinburger in the Bronx.[2] He was married to Hope Patrick (died 1980) for 38 years.[2] He died on April 11, 2002 from cancer.[1][2] He was survived by two daughters, Toby Weston Cone and Barbara Harris, along with four grandchildren and five great grandchildren.[2] Throughout his seven decades long career in boxing, he amassed one of the largest collections of boxing memorabilia in the world.[3] Awards and accomplishments
