Asbjørn Berg-Hansen 
Born: 14.10.1912 
Died: 28.01.1998 
Club: Ørnulf I.F.(Oslo) 
Nationality: Norwegian 
Amateur Flyweight boxer 

'''Asbjørn Berg-Hansen''' is widely thought of as Norway's best Flyweight boxer to date. He became junior champion in 1933, and went on to take national titles in 1936, '37, '39, '40--when the second world war put a halt to championships, until 1946 and '47--when he took the title in Bantamweight-- 1948 & '50. Berg-Hansen also fought in 26 international championships (1934-50)--with 17 victories --and is the only boxer to have received the [[Norwegian Boxing Federation]]'s gold watch for participation in 25 international championships, a record unlikely to ever be matched.

Berg-Hansen also participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he, after defeating [[Alf Russel]] (GBR), was ruled a surprising--and publicly unpopular--defeat against [[Lou Laurie]] (USA), who went on to take the bronze.

Berg-Hansen fought in excess of 300 amateur bouts, with fewer than 20 losses.

Henry Tiller 
Born: 14.06.1914 
Club: B.K. 1930 
Nationality: Norwegian 
Amateur & professional middleweight boxer 

Henry Tiller is considered the best middleweight boxer Norway has produced so far. His career started in 1931, when he became Norwegian junior lightweight champion at the age of 17. He rapidly grew to middleweight, where he became Norwegian champion in 1935, 36, 37, 38 & 40, before the second world war put a halt to further championships.

He fought in ten international championships, and won eight. Among his biggest accomplishments is his silver medal from the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Where he defeated Edward Peltz (RSA), Richard Shrimpton (GBR), the two favourites Adolf Baumgarten (GER), and Henryk Chmielewski (POL), before being defeated by Jean Despeuax (FRA) in the final. Later that same year Tiller met Despaux in two
international championships in Trondheim and Oslo - both times defeating him.

In 1938 Tiller became the only Norwegian boxer to become English champion in middleweight, winning a clear victory over the English champion at the time, David Peck.

Tiller wrote an autobiography called 'Ringen Klar', published by Aschehoug in 1941.

Tiller fought 158 amateur bouts. Of these he lost 22 & tied on 1.
