Bernard Docusen's record and bio needs revision
Bernard Docusen's record and bio needs revision
Bernard Docusen's bio states that he won the AAU championship at the age of 16. He was actually 14. He lied about his age to compete in the tournament and won. He may well have been the youngest fighter to ever win the national AAU championship. His birthday is listed as January 1927, it was actually June. Also his pro career started almost exactly one year earlier than stated here on boxrec with at least a handful of fights during that year.
