Hello everyone,
My name is Enzo Djebali, 23 years old. I am a boxing fan since I saw my first fight in TV, Jean-Baptiste Mendy against Orzubek Nazarov for WBA title (it's a great memory for our poor french boxing ^^). I am from France (so), and I am availing of this case to present you one case of Mythic meeting between history and boxing with the tragedy of Victor Young Perez.

In two words, this jewish world champion stayed in France during World War II cause he was in love about the french actress Mireille Balin. He was kept by the Gestapo, even he had a lot of chances to escape from France and go to his birth country, Tunisia. In death camps, he was forced to lose fights in critical conditions to prove the Aryan's superiority. He was killed in the sadly famous Death Walks.
It is my way to present me to you, hope you will appreciate. See ya !
