    ...which I did not.
    But, on the other hand, I'm on BoxRec's list of world champions - which they are not.

    Who am I?

    That's it? I was pretty sure that one of Fritzie's brothers won a gold medal. Jack? Not sure.

    Jack lost in the Bronze medal match and Pete lost in the quarter finals.

    Back in 1984, I was asked by several New Jersey Newspapers to research the Olympics. I already did a lot but when I got that assignment I looked at everything. That is when I saw that 2 of Fritzie's brothers were in the Olympics. Great question!

    Fritzie's brothers Pete and Jack both fought in the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp - but neither won a medal.
