Primo Carnera Autographs
Primo Carnera (26 October 1906 – 29 June 1967) was an Italian professional boxer and wrestler who achieved international fame during the 1930s. He reigned as the boxing World Heavyweight Champion from 29 June 1933 to 14 June 1934. He won more fights by knockout than any other heavyweight champion (IBU, NBA, NYSAC) in boxing history. Carnera's boxing record comprised 103 professional fights, with 89 victories, 72 of which were knockouts. His extraordinary physical stature, standing 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) and weighing up to 270 lb (122 kg), made him a formidable and iconic figure in the sport, earning him the moniker "The Ambling Alp." Beyond boxing, Carnera also pursued a career in professional wrestling, further extending his public presence. His life story has been the subject of numerous films and books.
Primo Carnera was born in Sequals, then in the Province of Udine, now in the Province of Pordenone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia at the north-easternmost corner of Italy.
On 13 March 1939, Carnera married Giuseppina Kovačič (1913–1980), a post office clerk from Gorizia. In 1953, they received dual citizenship. They settled in Los Angeles, where Carnera opened a restaurant and a liquor store. They had two children, Umberto and Giovanna Maria. Umberto became a medical doctor. Carnera died in 1967 at age 60 in his native town of a combination of liver disease and complications from diabetes.
