    The 2022 movie based on his life is great.

    it is a good movie and I suspect fairly accurate...

    but as to Pro Boxing, Haft should probably have been fighting at MW cum L-HW given his Height, but he looked a Squat stocky muscular type, so it probably would have been near impossible for him to get under 175 regularly.

    too small for Bigmen and not good enough for Top & Noted fighters.

    as to his time in the Camps, I'm sure they were basically as he, and others, claimed throughout the years.
