	Lee Savold was a top contender during the 1930’s, 40’s and early 50’s, and was once the #1 rated heavyweight in the world. Savold fought memorable bouts with Lou Nova, Bruce Woodcock, Billy Conn, Joe Louis, and Rocky Marciano.

Savold fought memorable bouts with [[Lou Nova]], [[Bruce Woodcock]], [[Billy Conn]], [[Joe Louis]], and [[Rocky Marciano]].

	~~== Boxing Factoids ==~~		Savold, brother of fellow heavyweight [[Stan Savold]], went by "Lee Savoldi" early in his career.
	* Brother of fellow heavyweight [[Stan Savold]]
	* Went by "Savoldi" early in his career		On Sunday, December 18, 1948, Lee Savold visited Oslo, Norway and boxed an exhibition bout with Solly Cantor (probably the Toronto-based lightweight). It took place in the large Colosseum cinema. In an interview with the Oslo paper ''VG'' Savold said he had grown up in Minnesota with Norwegian parents. His father's name was ''Sagvold'', while his mother came from a family named ''Refdal''. Lee moved to New Jersey as a 15-year-old for a brief time, and later moved back to St. Paul to start his pro career. Before that he spoke Norwegian fluently, but by the time he visited Oslo, the language had disappeared completely. ''Sagvold'' is a common name north of Trondheim and south of Lillehammer, the 1994 Winter Olympics town, while ''Refdal'' often can be found north of Bergen. Post-fight reports in the paper ''Aftenposten'', however, showed a member of a Saevold family from Samangen, Sogn, north of Bergen, claiming to be a relative of Savold, something the boxer didn't dispute, probably so as not to disappoint the visitor. But it really didn't match Savold's own recount of his Sagvold origins.

			Savold died in Neptune, New Jersey.
