Salvatore Burruni (11 April 1933 – 30 March 2004) was an Italian flyweight and bantamweight boxer who fought between 1957 and 1969.[1]

Amateur career

[edit]

Burruni was Italian flyweight champion in 1954 and 1956 and won the World Military Championships in 1955 and 1956 as well as the Mediterranean Games in 1955.[2] At the 1956 Melbourne Olympics he progressed to the second round when he lost to Vladimir Stolnikov.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

Burruni turned professional in 1958. After successfully campaigning for seven years, during which he won the European Flyweight title, Burruni was given a title shot by WBA, WBC against Lineal flyweight champion Pone Kingpetch from Thailand. On 23 April 1965, Burruni made the most of his opportunity and won a unanimous 15-round decision.[1]

However, in November 1965, WBA & WBC stripped him of the title following his refusal to meet themandatory challenger, Hiroyuki Ebihara.[4][5][6][7][8]

On 2 December 1965, Burruni successfully defended his lineal crown by knocking out Australian Rocky Gattellari.
On 14 June 1966, he lost to Walter McGowan, whom he had defeated previously.[9]

Unable to make the weight any longer, Burruni moved up to the bantamweight division. He won the European Bantamweight title by taking a 15-round decision from champion Mimoun Ben Ali in 1968. His campaign to secure a World Bantamweight title ended when he was knocked out by Rubén Olivares in 1968.[1] Burruni's final fight took place in 1969, when he defeated Pierre Vetroff by KO.[citation needed]
