Before taking up boxing, Genaro's ambition was to become a jockey, but he took up boxing when he tired of cleaning stables awaiting his chance to race horses. His first amateur bout in 1919 was against Jimmy Nable, which he fought using the ringname A. J. DeVito. He took the New York State and National Flyweight championships early in his amateur career.[8]
Genaro won the flyweight gold medal at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp on August 24, two days before his 19th birthday.
During his career Genaro fought 10 world champions and three Hall of Famers.
He died in Staten Island, New York, on December 27, 1966, at the age of 65.
