	~~Graham Houston:~~ Author Frederic Mullally in his biography of Carnera titled ''PRIMO: The Story of 'Man Mountain' CARNERA'', quotes a biographer named Aldo Santini as casting doubt on this result. Sig. Santini references Nat Fleischer's book ''The Heavyweight Championship'' thusly: "[Fleischer] maintains not only that Zupan was Rumanian rather than Yugoslavian, but that it was Carnera who was knocked out in the second round. This gives rise to the suspicion that it was the Italian newspapers that reversed the actual result of the fight out of love of country - or rather fascism." To muddy the waters still further, an Associated Press report from Budapest Dec. 15, 1937, stated: "Primo Carnera, former world heavyweight champion, was in a sanitarium here today with kidney hemorrhage which physicians said was 'possibly serious' and would require him to quit the ring indefinitely. It was uncertain whether his condition was due to fighting. In his last engagement Carnera was knocked out in the second round by a Yugoslav named Zupan."
