Comment
Paea Wolfgramm is a Tongan boxer born on December 1, 1969 in Vava'u.A former rugby player, he didn't begin his boxing career until the age of 21, qualifying after just 26 amateur bouts for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. On that occasion, he won the silver medal in the super-heavyweight category, losing only in the final to Ukraine's Wladimir Klitschko1.
The first Tongan to win an Olympic medal, Wolfgramm began his professional career a few months later, but it was not to be as brilliant, as he failed to win a single title. He left the ring in 2001 with a record of 20 wins and 4 losses (notably to Corrie Sanders and again to Wladimir Klitschko). (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
