    I remember seeing a picture of Wladomir Klitschko and Vitali in what looked to be a Ukrainian army outfit. They looked really young too.

    I know Steve Cunningham was in the Navy for a few years... hence why he got his name USS.

    Anyways, what other boxers were in the military that you know of?

    Georges Carpentier was a decorated veteran of WW1, they 'sold' the fight with Dempsey on the "the Hero vs. the Slacker" angle.
