A French website, which archives news that took place during
WW II has Young Perez winning the French Featherweight Title in a fight against Yves Nadal in Toulouse, France in August 1943.
The record of Perez is listed here as complete, but I can imagine that record keeping during the War didn't have priority
Also interestingly; 1943-4-18 Marcel Cerdan KO 1 (0:22) Charles Humery, Paris France. Cerdan's record is not listed as complete here, so I've added the fight. It may be a double entry for the April 1942 fight against Gustave Humery though, can anyone check that????
Young Perez / Marcel Cerdan
Wouter, that Perez bout must have been his last before he died in a Nazi concentration camp, huh?
BTW: My Grandpa Pete fought and defeated this great former world champ:
