Re: Magnus "Wolf" Larsen
I've got a bunch of stuff on Larsen.
He was a character -- he once stole a horse and wagon and drove it to a pawn shop! Another time, he picked up a pony and walked off with it!
His obit indeed mentions a 1919 bout with Siki in Holland, but I doubt the bout actually happened.
I am writing a short bio for IBRO.
Here are his AAU bouts -- he won the title on a walkover.
