"Black" JOE BERJE FW

Home - Southern California, USA

0-1-0

Joe Berje fought his pro debut on July 8th, 1948 in Stockton, California. Roy Higa won on an eighth round knock out. Tragically, Berje died within a few days from the injuries that he received in the ring.


Edit - this may not have been Berje's only fight. He may be the same fighter called "Black Joe" that was 0-7-1 in the early forties and lost to Harold Hoshino. If that is so, he may have fought under many aliases which would explain the eight round bout for his "debut". He also was likely Phillipino.
