Contributions
have started coming in for the Phil Zwick medical fund, which was
organized by a group of Kaukauna sports fans. Phil’s boxing career began in the
early 20’s as a teenager in Kaukauna. His last fights were in the early
50’s. His flashing fists nearly won him
the world’s championship in 1940, when he battled the reigning champ which
ended in a draw. He boxed around the world from Australia and South Africa
defeating seven foreign champions, five by knockouts. Phil has suffered with
medical problems over recent years. He had moved to Vallejo, California in the
40’s where he worked for the police department.
