Erie’s Legendary Boxing Family | Boxing Legends | Inside the Q

Step into the ring with Erie’s most legendary boxing dynasty — the Bizzarro family.

🥊 In this behind-the-scenes episode of Inside the Q, host Ryan Dawley sits down with director Braden McClain and researcher Lorri Drumm to unpack the story of the Bizzarro family, from Johnny Bizzarro’s earliest fights to Anthony Bizzarro carrying the torch today.

Discover how this multi-generational family built not only a boxing legacy but a business empire across Erie, PA, including Chucky Bizzarro’s Fleet Wing Auto, and the iconic Ringside Restaurant. 🍝

🎥 Go behind the camera as the team shares stories of meatballs the size of your head, karaoke nights at Ringside, and how classic boxing films like Rocky IV inspired the visual style of the episode. Whether you’re a boxing fan, a documentary lover, or just here for the meatballs, this one’s for you. 🧤
