 The Scotsman - Obituaries - Max Schmeling
This title joust made the record books for all the wrong reasons, however, with Schmeling winning the heavyweight crown sitting, clutching his groin while the referee disqualified Sharkey in the fourth round - making the new German champion the first and only world heavyweight title-holder to win the undisputed title by this dubious route.
After successfully defending his world crown against Young Stribling in Cleveland, Ohio, Schmeling was involved in the inevitable return with Sharkey on 21 June, 1932.
In the meantime, Schmeling met and got along famously with American presidential candidate Franklin D Roosevelt - an ongoing mutual regard that saw Schmeling send Roosevelt, a keen philatelist, German stamps until the onset of the Second World War.
