Hi Gav

Orazio Morana is living in Lincoln currently in a residential home. I'm his son, Giorgio Morana and I'm based in Nottingham. I have started to research my father's past boxing archives. He once told me that he fought against the British Commonwealth light weight champion in Grimsby and won. He wasn't able to claim any prize money because he refused to change his nationality to Bristish.

He was light weight champion in Italy around 1950. He did tell me that the family offered to pay him money to lose that fight but refused the offer outright.

That's all the info I have.

Regards

Giorgio

Wow. The original post is more than 7.5 years old!

GAV still posts here, occasionally. I suggest you send him a private message.> http://boxrec.com/forum/memberlist.php? ... ile&u=1866
