Biography
Maddalone is the youngest of three boys, and was pitching minor league baseball for the Adirondack Lumberjacks of the independent Northern League when the idea to enter a ToughMan contest first crossed his mind. He fought Friday nights and Saturday nights and was instantly hooked. A proud Italian American and a member of the Teamsters, Maddalone says that he is fighting hard and training hard to finally come to the day when it is just him and the heavyweight champion alone in the ring. He does admit that he had to learn quite a bit when going professional because he never had long amateur career.
Maddalone has had two fights with Brian Minto, the first on July 23, 2004, where Maddalone was stopped in the 10th and final round by knockout. Maddalone showed that he is a strong puncher (knocking Minto down in the very first round)and that he is very tough and can take a lot of hits. His next fight with Minto on October 1, 2005 Maddalone was stopped again, this time in the 7th round of 10 by a TKO. Maddalone has had some great success in the ring, winning most of his fights (16) by TKO. When he has knocked out opponents for a 10 count, it has been in the 1st or 2nd rounds, showing he is an extremely hard hitter.
