Career: 1957-1962

These two pictures were scanned from the very first boxing magazine I ever owned, "Boxing Illustrated", April 1959. As a young lad I was impressed with one of the articles, "Mino Bozzano-Italy's Undefeated Heavyweight" which promised that Mino would soon be taking the US by storm. Unfortuately, for Bozzano, he never seems to have gotten too far beyond MIlan.

The second picture is the same one that Jofre posted last month, I just scanned it and sized it a little differently.
