Italy Will Never Produce Real Boxing Champion Doc Owens
George Owens veteran supervisor at Pleasure Beach believes Italy will not produce a real boxing champion though Italian Americans born in the United States may excel. He cites Italy’s lack of boxing popularity and notes native Italians excel in gymnastics but are strong in track and field and soccer. Owens fought with the 332nd regiment on the Piave and earned honors from King Victor Emmanuel. He hopes Italy sends a soccer team and recalls wartime athletic colleagues including Louie Bogash and other noted fighters.
