Billy Collins Jr. Biography
Billy Collins Jr. is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on September 21, 1961 in Nashville, Tennessee, United States.
In July 1983, Collins and his family sued Lewis, Resto, fight promoter Top Rank Boxing, the inspectors, the bout’s referee and Everlast (the manufacturer of Resto’s gloves) for gross negligence and loss of income. The suit against Everlast was dismissed by the Federal Court which found that there was no liability since the gloves had been tampered with after they were delivered by Everlast. Collins, Sr. and Collins’ widow Andrea then sued the New York State Boxing Commission for failing to protect Collins. The commission argued that the term “inspection” was so broad that there was no way to determine whether the fight’s inspectors could have done more than they did. It also claimed that Top Rank actually hired the inspectors and bore more responsibility for their behavior. A court ruled in favor of the commission, and the court also noted that Collins’ death ended any potential future damages. However, Collins’ widow, now known as Andrea Collins-Nile, attempted to reopen the suit. The request was denied. The state subsequently changed its rules to prevent a repeat of what happened to Collins. The Collins family never saw any restitution.
Collins was matched against Puerto Rican journeyman Luis Resto at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 16, 1983, on the undercard of the Roberto Durán vs. Davey Moore light middleweight title fight. Collins entered the fight as a betting favorite but took a heavy beating and lost by a unanimous decision.

Lewis’ New York boxing license was permanently revoked, effectively banning him from any official role in American boxing for life. Resto was suspended indefinitely and never fought again. In 1986, Lewis and Resto were tried and convicted of assault, conspiracy, and criminal possession of a deadly weapon (Resto’s plaster of paris wraps); prosecutors felt that Lewis’ actions made the fight an illegal assault on Collins. Both served 2⁄2 years in prison.

In 2007, Resto made a tearful apology to Collins-Nile for his role in the scheme unexpectedly during the making of an HBO documentary about the fight. He also admitted that his hand wraps had been soaked in plaster of Paris before the fight. This caused them to harden into plaster casts like those used to set broken bones. The hand wraps were never confiscated and did not figure into the official investigation of the tampering incident. However, the combined effect of the plaster casts and unpadded gloves meant that Resto was effectively striking Collins with rocks. At a 2008 press conference, Resto not only admitted to knowing that Lewis had tampered with the gloves, but had done so at least twice before. The 1983 incident and subsequent aftermath is covered in the 2008 HBO documentary Assault in the Ring.
