Career

Bossi won a silver medal at the 1960 Olympics. In early 1961 he turned professional and fought through 1971. In 1965 Bossi won the national and in 1967 the European welterweight title. After defending the European title twice he lost it on 14 August 1968 to Fighting Mack. In 1967 he twice fought Willie Ludick for the world welterweight title (South African Version), but lost on both occasions. [2] In July 1970 he took the Lineal, WBC and WBA super welterweight titles by defeating Freddie Little, [3] but lost them to Koichi Wajima in October 1971 in his last bout.
