His first real big one was the Patterson-Ingo rematch.
His career lasted from the 1960's to the 1980's. He was the third man in the ring for many classic bouts, the most famous being the first Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fight on March 8, 1971. Mercante served in the Navy during World War II and his commanding officer was the legendary heavyweight champion Gene Tunney. His refereeing career began professionally in 1954 and ended in 2001 at the age of 81. In 1995 he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota New York State.vy during World War II and his commanding officer was the legendary heavyweight champion Gene Tunney.
