He made several attempts to train himself back to a return, but failed. It wasn't until 1945 that he made a comeback, taking his last National title in 1948 and having his last fight in 1949. He was on the National Team at least eight times. His amateur career was some 80 wins and 16 losses, but that is only what is recorded in the newspapers.

			His date of death is unknown, but it is known that he is not buried in Norway.
