The following is from Christer Franz�n, Boxing Historian and International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) Member from Stockholm, Sweden:

Carl Pedersen (Calle Brisson) � from the floodlights of the squared arena to the footlights of the theatre.

Carl Frederik Ejner Pedersen was a Christmas gift to the world. He was born in Copenhagen on Dec 23 1893, and he died in his hometown on September 26 1958.

He was a clever and technical fighter, and a great prospect. But his talent as an entertainer in theatre, music and cinema led him away from boxing. Romantic leads in famous operettas, such as �The Merry Widow,� was his key to success.

He learned his trade in boxing the hard way in Germany. He traveled and boxed with touring Circus acts and he fought at the fairgrounds, i.e. the equivalent to the British boxing Booths.

Height: 180 cm, weight: 62-63 kg. According to himself, he had 92 fights (77-8-7). According to other sources it was 72 fights. Boxing was banned in Germany so it is impossible to compile his full record. Most of the fights were held in private. He was a regular fighter at Joe Edward�s Anglo-American Boxing Club in Berlin. He also fought in Prague, Warsaw, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. His boxing career spanned only over a handful of years, circa 1911 to 1916.

The first fight was a fifteen rounds win over �a Negro,� and the last was a fifteen round win over Dane Dick Nelson [Richard Christensen].

Among his opponents were names like Paul Mond, Otto Flint, Alfred L�tze (for the Championship of Middle Europe), John Redcloud, Bobby Dobbs, Frank Crozier, Billy Gordon, and Joe Edwards.

He was highly popular in Sweden, both as an entertainer and a fighter. He was doing a fine job as a referee as well.

He also helped to promote Swedish heavy Harry Persson in London in 1926. Persson knocked Phil Scott cold, and tried for America.

Pedersen had a couple of fights in Sweden as well. Two of them are memorable, but for different reasons. On August 2, 1914 he met John Gaddy, a second class Danish-American. During the fight all the church bells in Stockholm started to ring, and sirens were heard all over town. World War I had started and it was the signal for a general mobilization. The spectators began to leave the arena in the midst of the fight!

Three weeks later it was time for one of the most spectacular fights in the annals of Swedish boxing history. Pedersen had accepted a challenge from Swedish star Carl Svensson, more known as Calle Sven. He was an attraction at the strongmen circuit. Calle Sven was extremely tough, and he had a temper inherited from the Norsemen. His most famous act was a tug-of-war with two horses. Once he wrestled with a bear at a Circus. The bear won and almost killed him.

Calle Sven was in the military service at the time of the fight, and had to take a French leave. Pedersen was by far the more skilled fighter, but he had problems with the impressive raw power swings of the Swede. Both fighters were down. Calle Sven got a couple of warnings and in the sixth the referee had enough and stopped the fight and declared Pedersen the winner on foul. The referee left the ring. Calle Sven went mad and called out for the Dane to continue. OK, said Pedersen. Once more the fighters started to mix, but were soon interrupted. The police intervened in full force with drawn sables et al.

Pedersen quit boxing in 1916 to become a full time entertainer. His wife Cleo Villard [nee Maria J�rgensen] was a popular artist on her own merits. They toured regularly in Europe and in the States. Brisson was manager of a theatre company in London 1926-1933.

He can also be seen at the screen. Among others he was cast in Alfred Hitchcock�s THE RING.
