Vic Toney can remember when he was little watching his father in the ring.

Leslie Toney was a standout amateur and professional boxer in the Youngstown area and his son appears to be following in those footsteps.

Vic Toney, a 2007 graduate of Chaney High School and a football standout, won his debut amateur match at Sammy Calderon’s All-Star Amateur Boxing Show at McMenamy’s Banquet Center.

Toney scored a unanimous decision over Charlie Nest, also of Youngstown and the Downtown Boxing Club in one of 12 bouts on the card.
