Billy’s Boxing Blog
Remembering Bill Caplan,
Boxing’s Warm-Hearted Friend |
|
By William Trillo
In boxing, the spotlight usually belongs to champions,
promoters, and the chaos under the bright lights. But
every so often there is someone working just outside the
ropes whose influence runs just as deep. Bill Caplan was
one of those people.
For decades, Caplan was one of boxing’s most respected
publicists and trusted architects behind the scenes, a
rare figure who could move comfortably between fighters,
promoters, writers and television executives, all the
while somehow earning the affection of nearly all of
them — no small feat in this sport.
