Lazslo Papp was a Hungarian professional boxer from Budapest. A southpaw, he won gold medals in the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, and the 1956 Summer Olympics held in Melbourne, Australia. In his final Olympic competition, he became the first boxer in Olympic history to win three successive gold medals. It was a remarkable run of Olympic Boxing supremacy, in that of his 13 Olympic fights, he won 12 of them without losing a round, and dropped only a single round in his last final to Torres. There would not be another triple gold medalist for 20 years, when Teófilo Stevenson won three, followed by Félix Savón as the latest one of the three men to accomplish the feat.
This comes directly from the Stanley Weston MSG Boxing Hall of Fame Collection.
Condition - Paper is in very good condition and the signature is still very bold.
Stanley Weston (September 25, 1919 – April 11, 2002) is a former owner of The Ring Magazine. He was an avid collector of anything fight related. When Mr Weston
purchased The Ring magazine it also included Nat Fleischer's Madison
Square Garden Boxing Hall of Fame. He and Stanley are well known in this
industry and loved every minute of the job and the collecting.
