What is Chuck Zito’s career?
Chuck trained as a boxer at New Rochelle’s Southside Boys Club and White Plains’ Cage Recreation, and he had a 36-5 amateur boxing record. His first boxing contest occurred when he was 12 years old, and at the age of 17, he competed in his first Golden Gloves bout. Zito later worked as Mickey Rourke’s boxing instructor.
In 2003, Chuck reflected on his boxing career: “I tried to follow in my father’s footsteps… but didn’t have the desire and willpower to train 100% for the fight game.” I did not take it seriously enough. When I found out I was fighting, I would go to the gym about two days before the fight. “I’ve never trained.”
When he was 18, he began learning martial arts, eventually earning black belts in jujitsu and five other disciplines. Zito claims that his nose has been fractured nine times. He worked as a sideline reporter for HBO’s “Monday Night Fights” in 2003 and as a journalist for “Affliction: Day of Reckoning,” a mixed martial arts event in 2009. C

In May 1979, Zito joined the Hells Angels after meeting Sandy Alexander, the president of the group’s New York City chapter.
According to prosecutors, joining the Hells Angels’ NYC chapter required murdering or attempting to murder an individual chosen by the gang.
Chuck allegedly attempted to kill pizzeria owner Robert Giangarra, who had previously shot Hells Angel member Cortland “Chip” Candow. Former Hells Angels member John Joseph “Pirate” Miller claimed that Zito and another member, Philip “Lightfoot” Kramer, exploded C-4 explosives linked to Giangarra’s vehicle.
Giangarra was not severely hurt. Chuck was not charged with the bombing, but he was convicted of having firearms after police discovered a loaded gun, brass knuckles, and ammunition in his car. He was also found guilty of disorderly conduct and criminal possession of a controlled drug.
Zito helped form the Hells Angels’ New York Nomads chapter in 1984, and he served as its initial president. In May 1985, more than 130 Hells Angels and allies were arrested on drug trafficking and racketeering charges during raids in 14 locations.
Chuck’s arrest warrant was issued in November 1984 on charges of selling roughly 16 ounces of methamphetamine. Zito and fellow Hells Angel Herbert Reynolds Kittel worked as Bon Jovi’s bodyguards while on tour in Japan, and they handed themselves in at the US Embassy in Tokyo in July 1985. They were held in a Tokyo prison for four months before being turned over to the US Justice Department.
