The one and only 1956 olympic gold medalist pete rademacher

COLORADO SPRINGS, લેપ. (ઓગસ્ટ 27, 2020) - 1956 ઓલિમ્પિક સુવર્ણચંદ્રક વિજેતાPete Rademacheris the only boxer to fight for a world title in his pro debut.

Rademacher, who died this past June at the age of 91 in Sandusky, ઓહિયો, was a native of Tieton, Washington. He had a 72-7 કલાપ્રેમી રેકોર્ડ, highlighted by his gold medal performance at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia.

Rademacher started boxing during his rehabilitation for Rheumatic Fever, which he contracted while attending Castle Heights Military Academy. The gifted heavyweight captured top honors at numerous national tournaments, સહિત 1951 & 1953 National AAU Championships, 1954 All-Army Championship and Service Championships, and Olympic Trials.

In Australia, he knocked out the three opponents he faced, ક્રમમાં, Josef Nemec (Czechoslovakia) in the quarterfinals, South AfricanDaan Bekker સેમિફાઇનલમાં, and the Soviet Union’sLev Mukhin in the opening round of the championship final for the gold medal.

Rademacher was so hot after the Olympics that he publicly proclaimed that he would be able to become world heavyweight champion in his pro debut. Soon after he became the only fighter to make his pro debut in a world title fight, when he challenged defending World heavyweight championફ્લોયડ પેટરસન (32-1)  ઓગસ્ટ પર 22, 1957 in Seattle. Rademacher floored Patterson in the second round, જો કે, he was dropped six times before the fight, which was refereed by Hall of Famerટોમી Loughran, was halted at 2:57 of that round.

Rademacher, who was an offensive lineman on Washington State University’s football team, didn’t take many easy fights during his 5-year pro career (15-7-1, 8 કોસ). His most notable pro victories were against World title challengerજ્યોર્જ Chuvalo (17-3-1) and future Hall of Famer and World middleweight championBobo Olson(87-12), both by way of 10-round unanimous decisions, as well as technical knockouts overLaMar Clark (42-1) and NorwegianBuddy Thurman(32-5-1), અનુક્રમે, માં 10મી and ninth rounds.

Rademacher’s pro losses were to some of the best heavyweights in the world, such as Hall of Famerઆર્ચી મૂરે, along with world title challengersKarl Mildenberger (29-1), અપરાજિતડો જોન્સ (17-0) અનેZorro Foley (40-2-2), who had been Rademacher’s arch-rival in the amateur ranks.
