Charlene opens her heart as she shares intimate stories of growing up with a father known for grit, loyalty, and a love that hit harder than any punch he ever threw.

This conversation is a celebration of a father’s impact, a daughter’s devotion, and the enduring spirit of a true Delco original. Mike “Pic” Picciotti was a tough, pressure-style boxer from Delaware County, who went pro in 1976 and racked up a 31–4–3 record over a decade in the ring. He grew up in the Folsom section of Ridley Township, graduating from Ridley High School before launching his boxing career. Known for his punishing body attack, Picciotti fought many of his biggest bouts at local venues like the 69th Street Forum and in Atlantic City. His Delco roots were honored when he was inducted into the Delaware County Athletes Hall of Fame in 1997.  Follow the POZ 5 on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. #thepoz5
