	Brosseau was born in Montreal and learned his trade in amateur competitions in that city. He earned a reputation as a thoughtful fighter with a talented left hand and a solid knockout punch; in 1915 he parlayed his experience to the Canadian amateur championship, winning decisions in two three round fights in two days. He retained the title in a 1916 defense and in the same year took the American welterweight championship in Boston, winning one of four fights by knockout, the other three by decision.

	In November 1919, he met former champion George Chip in a punishing twelve round bout in Portland, ME. Chip was a powerful boxer with a looping punch that repeatedly landed on the back of Brosseau's neck. After the fight Gene found his left arm to be paralyzed. Allowing three months for recovery Brosseau returned to the ring and knocked out Jack Holland in three rounds. The left hand was not the feared weapon that it was before the injury and caused the ending of a very promising career.
