Pro Boxer: Record

Older brother of boxer Lew Lazar. And like many of his contemporaries Lazar was a World War 11 vet. Lazer was a very fine fighter who never realized his potential according to famed boxing referee Sid Nathan, because he rarely trained for a fight and therefore lost a number of fights he could have easily won had he been fit. Despite Lazar having a lax attitude toward training he managed to defeat four British Boxing Champions-these being Jake Kilrain, Harry Mizler, Johnny McGrory and Dave Crowley. In addition he defeated many other fine fighters like Douglas Bygrave, Harry Silver, Ivor Thomas, Walter Reddit, Dave Finn and Tommy Hyams just to name a few.
