	According to a January 26, 2006 article by Alessandro Ferrarini and Paolo Consiglio: "Efrati was born in Rome on May 16, 1916. He made his pro debut in 1935 but later on he opted to travel to France and to the USA where he enjoyed a decent success. In the USA he was featured in a noteworthy trilogy vs Frankie 'Kid' Covelli, which ended in a 1-1-1 score, and eventually lost a decision to NBA feather champ Leo Rodak in Chicago on December 29, 1938. In 1939 he came back to Italy, whose government was a German ally, and he was eventually deported to Auschwitz. In Auschwitz he was forced to take part in cruel boxing matches, where he fought much heavier opponents for the amusement of the guards. He survived all of this but, when his brother was heavily beaten by the guards, he reacted and took revenge. Nobody beat him up - except for the armed German soldiers: Leone Efrati was killed in Auschwitz ~~and died~~ on April 16, 1944."

	In 1939, '''Leone Efrati''' was ranked by the [[National Boxing Association]] as the #10 featherweight in the world. He ~~had traveled to the United States from Italy because the facist-led Italian government had suspended his boxing license because he was Jewish.~~

	~~Efrati~~ received a title shot for the NBA featherweight crown against [[Leo Rodak]] and lost a very narrow decision. It is hard to speculate, but had he won the fight it is likely that the Jewish-Italian Efrati would not have been deported by American authorities and later murdered by the Nazis at the Auschwitz concentration camp.

	Efrati managed to stay in the United States until 1943, then he was deported back to Italy, regardless of the fact that he was Jewish. Once back in Italy, Efrati was arrested while walking in the street with his young son. He was sent to Gestapo Headquarters in Via Tasso, Italy, and deported to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.

	At Aushwitz, Efrati reportedly was forced to fight twice a week in the camp's "Boxing Shows". Jewish and Gypsy boxers (amateurs and professionals) fought in these matches. There were no rounds, and no weight divisions. Names were drawn from a hat and opponents were matched. The fight went on until one opponent could no longer continue. The winning fighter was awarded bread and soup, the losing fighter was executed and his body burned in the ovens of the death camp. Leone Efrati managed to stay alive almost one year under these horrible conditions. He fought twice aweek, every week. He scored over 100 consecutive knockouts. However, On April 16, 1944(month/day/unconfirmed), Efrati became involved in a brawl with Nazi guards, and was shot to death. Efrati's young son managed to survive the death camp and later told of his father's experiences there.
