In 1938 Terracini won the amateur light-heavyweight title in Europe. He engaged in 63 fights as a simon-pure, then turned to the money ranks only to find that the law prevented him from earning a living because he was Jewish. At the suggestion of Leone Efrati, another Italian Hebrew, Emil Nanny brought Terricana to the United States.
