	According to a news item in the January 22, 1944 edition of the Detroit Free Press on Newspapers.com, Staff Sergeant Adam Pianga of the Army Air Forces received a medical discharge on Thursday (January 20, 1944) after two years of service. During a routine medical exam, it was found that there was something wrong with his kidneys. In addition to receiving his discharge, Pianga was advised to forget about resuming his career as a professional boxer. In his last bout, Pianga was knocked out by Fritzie Zivic in Pittsburgh. In their previous bout, Pianga and Zivic fought to a 10-round draw. After their second bout, Zivic said confidentially that Pianga was far from being the fighter that he was at the time of their first bout. Note- It appears that Pianga never fought again after receiving his discharge from the service.
