Laurent Dauthuille Gallery
Laurent Dauthuille was featured on the covers of the November 1949 and February 1951 editions of The Ring magazine.
He had 74 fights as amateur.
Dauthille then became a professional wrestler in Nov 1953, and tried to bring the sport to North Africa with several shows. From reports it seems that the matches were authentic, and not the staged/faked ones so popular in Paris at this time.
He lost to fellow boxer turned wrestler Robert Charron in Paris December 1954.
