A poem by Ronald Wallace

The Friday Night Fights

Every Friday night we watched the fights. Me, ten years old and stretched out on the couch; my father, in his wheelchair, looking on as Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson fought and won the battles we could not. Him, twenty-nine, and beat up with disease; me, counting God among my enemies for what he’d done to us. We never touched.

But in between the rounds we’d sing how we’d Look sharp! Feel sharp! & Be sharp! with Gillette and Howard Cosell, the Bela Lugosi of boxing. Out in the kitchen, my mother never understood our need for blood, how this was as close as we’d get to love—bobbing and weaving, feinting and sparring.

Fighting for survival, the story of Harry Haft

Harry Haft was a Polish-Jewish boxer and survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was briefly a professional boxer in post-war Germany, and boxed as a light heavyweight in the United States.

After the war, Harry Haft emigrated to the USA with the help of an uncle in New Jersey. Haft's final fight was against future champion Rocky Marciano, on 18 July 1949 in Rhode Island Auditorium.

In April 2007, Harry Haft was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. A movie on Haft’s life was released in 2022. Called The Survivor and based on the book by Alan Haft, it aired on HBO.

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27th January. You can learn more about the Holocaust at the Auschwitz Museum and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. You can also develop your understanding at Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Centre.

BOXING RECORD: Total fights 70.. Wins 49.. Wins by KO 31.. Losses 20.. Draws 1

Joe was born Arnold Raymond Cream and died on February 25, 1994 at the age of 80.

Rocky Marciano - The Undefeated King of Ring of All Time

Rocky Marciano is one of the brightest and most important boxers in history. He is the only heavyweight in the history of boxing who has won the world championship belt and has not suffered a single defeat throughout his career. Aggressive fighting style and an impressive track record inspired the famous American actor and director Sylvester Stallone to create the image of Rocky Balboa, which in turn gave the world, in my opinion, a great sports drama.
