Boxing career

Baroudi fought his first professional fight on May 15, 1945 in the Meadowbrook Bowl in Newark, New Jersey, winning against Jimmy Picollo by knockout in the first round.[1][3] Over the next two years his record was 35 wins, 7 losses, and two draws.[1] On August 15, 1947, in his 44th fight, Baroudi fought Newton Smith, knocking Smith out in the ninth round.[1] Smith never regained consciousness and later died in the hospital.[2][4][3] Baroudi lost his next fight on points, but started another winning streak. Until his last fight, Baroudi never went down in 52 fights.

Death

On February 20, 1948, Baroudi fought in Chicago against future world heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles.[5][3] In the tenth round, Charles knocked out Baroudi, and like his fight with Newton Smith six months earlier, Baroudi never regained consciousness, succumbing to a brain hemorrhage at the hospital a few hours later.[6] Charles was so shaken by the young fighter’s death that he considered ending his boxing career, but Baroudi's family convinced Charles to continue fighting.[7][8]
