Hello,
I am Alberto Ronzoni, son of former Italian boxer Maurizio Ronzoni, and I am trying to reconstruct and preserve his boxing career as completely as possible.
I am interested in BOTH:
amateur/national-team footage and bout records from the 1970s–1983;
his full professional career from 1984 to 1991, including his Italian super-lightweight title years.
For the amateur period I am not limiting the search to major tournaments. I want to identify every possible Italy national-team bout, bilateral/triangular international meeting, minor tournament, Italian championship bout, exhibition, training/national-team footage or TV report.
Major known events include Munich 1982 Worlds, East Berlin 1982 TSC Tournament, Varna 1983 Europeans, Casablanca 1983 Mediterranean Games, West Berlin 1983 Intercup, French international tournaments, Box-Am Spain 1981, Tunis 1980, Rome and Mestre.
For the professional years I am looking for complete fights, local TV recordings, regional broadcasts, VHS collections, news reports and any footage not currently on YouTube.
I already have these videos:
Maurizio Ronzoni vs Shadrach Odhiambo – Mestre 1982
Maurizio Ronzoni vs Alessandro Scapecchi – 1986
Maurizio Ronzoni vs Gianfranco Bronco – 1990
So I am especially looking for anything ELSE.
If anyone has old fight tapes, programmes, newspaper records, private VHS collections or can reconstruct missing opponents/dates, please contact me. Even identifying one unknown national-team opponent could lead us to a television archive in that country.
I am his son and this is purely a family and boxing-history preservation project. Reasonable digitisation/copying costs are no problem.
Thank you,
Alberto Ronzoni
Italy
