	'''Otto von Porat''' was born in the little town of Elmhult, Sweden, into an independently wealthy family. The von Porats lived on a huge estate in Sweden. An English tutor gave Otto and his three brothers their early education, hence Otto learned to speak English with a decidedly British accent. He also learned to speak Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, German and French fluently.		'''Otto von Porat''' was born in the little town of Elmhult, Sweden, into an independently wealthy family.

	While very young, Otto and his family moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, where his father organized a branch of the Berlitz School of Languages. In early 1914 the family settled in Oslo, Norway, where Otto's father made extensive maritime investments.

			It was while employed as a minor clerk in the office of an Oslo shipping agent that Otto became interested in boxing. He knocked out two opponents in one evening during his first amateur tournament. Shortly thereafter he knocked out the amateur middleweight champion of Denmark in two rounds. Otto went on to flatten all the best heavyweight amateurs in Europe, then won the Olympic Heavyweight Gold Medal at the 1924 Paris [[Olympics]]. He returned to Norway to serve in the Norwegian Army.
