Randy Neumann

Randolph Neumann (born July 21, 1948), raised in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, is a former professional boxer who has been a referee for the New York State Athletic Commission since 1982. He has been the "third man" in many championship matches that have taken place in Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Boxer As a boxer, he compiled a professional record of 31 wins (11 by way of knockout) and 7 losses in 38 contests. In his career, he faced the likes of Jimmy Young, Chuck Wepner, and Jerry Quarry. He was ranked as high as the #9 contender worldwide at the Heavyweight division. However, after graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey with a degree in business in 1975, he decided to retire from boxing. He won the New Jersey State Heavyweight title in 1971 by beating Chuck Wepner. The pair fought for that title three times, with Wepner winning twice.

Though he came back for one more bout as a Cruiserweight against Ibar Arrington on April 15, 1977, he retired from prizefighting for good to focus on acting, writing, and a business career.

Retirement Neumann was elected to the board of directors by the members of the International Boxing Federation at their annual convention, held in Montreal in May 2015. While there, he attended his first board meeting at which time he was elected Treasurer of the organization. Although he no longer referees fights (which he did for 31 years), he now supervises championship fights around the world. From 1983 to 2014, he refereed 339 fights, including many world title ones.

Today he is the president of Randy Neumann Wealth Management, located in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
