    My guy suffered a ko in his last fight against a young deadly hitter. He retired and hooked up with a popular comedian of the time.. They played
    in nightclubs mostly...

    hh you are correct as usual...The two had an act, playing nightclubs ...
    They got together after Canzy retired in 1939 after he was kod in his
    last bout of his career...The assassin was Al[Bummy Davis], the best left hooker I have ever seen...Amazing career Canzoneri had .In 175 bouts
    he was stopped just once in his last fight !
