Wiki; "In 1936, Schmeling knocked out American rising star Joe Louis, placing
him as the number one contender for Jim Braddock's title, but Louis got
the fight and knocked Braddock out to win the championship in 1937.
Schmeling finally got a chance to regain his title in 1938, but Louis
knocked him out in one round. During World War II, Schmeling served with
the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) as an elite paratrooper
(Fallschirmjäger).[1] After the war, Schmeling mounted a comeback, but
retired permanently in 1948.
After retiring from boxing, Schmeling worked for The Coca-Cola Company.
Schmeling became friends with Louis, and their friendship lasted until
the latter's death in 1981. Schmeling died in 2005 aged 99, a sporting
icon in his native Germany."

Fighting under the name James J. Braddock, he was known for his powerful right hand, granite chin and an amazing comeback from a floundering career. He had lost several bouts due to chronic hand injuries and was forced to work on the docks and collect social assistance to feed his family during the depression. In 1935 he fought Max Baer for the Heavyweight championship and won. For this unlikely feat he was given the nickname "The Cinderella Man" by Damon Runyon.
