Bruno Arcari (born 1 January 1942) is a retired Italian light welterweight boxer who fought from 1964 to 1978.
He came to the 1964 Olympics as a national champion and a bronze medalist of the 1963 European Championships, but was injured in the opening bout and had to withdraw. [1] After that, he turned professional and again lost his first match by injury. He had only one loss further in his career, also by injury, and won 70 bouts, 38 of them by knockout. Arcari held the European title in 1968 by beating Austrian boxer Johann Orsolics via a twelfth-round stoppage. He would go on to defend the title four times. On 31 January 1970 captured the WBC world title after defeating Filipino boxer Pedro Adigue via a unanimous decision victory. Acari would reign as champion for four years & defended his title 9 times including against Brazilian boxer Everaldo Costa Azevedo [2] & Spanish boxer Antonio Ortiz. [3] He relinquished it 1973 to move up to the welterweight class, but did not fight for a major title until his retirement in 1978. He later managed top professional fighters in Italy. [4]
On 7 May 2015, in the presence of the President of Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), Giovanni Malagò, the Olympic Park of the Foro Italico in Rome got inaugurated, along Viale delle Olimpiadi, the Walk of Fame of Italian sport, consisting of 100 tiles that alphabetically report names of the most representative athletes in the history of Italian sport. On each tile is the name of the sportsperson, the sport in which they distinguished themselves and the logo of the Italian Olympic Committee. One of the tiles is dedicated to Bruno Arcari. [5]
