Johnny Risko's birthdate

Post by Palais »

Isn't it December 18, 1902, instead of August 18?
And his original nationality Polish, au lieu de Slovakian?

My info, based on research I did some time ago, is that he was born in what was then called the Austrian-Hungarian Empire of Slovakian ethnicity.

From http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/risko-j.htm

Born: Mesto Bohunico, Aug 18, 1902, in what is now Austria.
(The CBZ will award a no-prize to the best explanation of the
Austrian-Hungarian Empire received by Risko's 100th birthday).

No body even attepted to answer!
