Celebrities Who Gave Boxing A Try
Errol Flynn
The Australian born actor who achieved global recognition during Hollywood’s Golden Age when he appeared in many blockbuster hits alongside stars such as Olivia De Havilland, Alexis Smith, and others. In 1942, Flynn starred in the Gentleman Jim as the heavyweight boxing champion James J. Corbett. Even before the movie came out, Flynn picked up boxing as a hobby and soon enough he entered the world of amateur boxing in 1927. A well-known fight of Errol’s was actually outside of the official ring. In 1945, just back from the war, John Huston and Flynn met in an ordinary Hollywood party hosted by Oscar winner producer David O. Selznick, when the two started throwing punches in the air.
