I've been trying to find a picture of Pekka Kokkonen, the Finnish ligh heavy from the 1960s. My collections of 1960s The Ring and Boxing Illustrated are somewhat extensive--but not complete (with my luck his picture is in an issue that I don't have).

All I came up after a mind-numbing search of the 'Net is the attached. It had no caption and whatever was printed was in Finnish and not subject to the translation option with Google.

I do know that for a period of time he sparred in Ingo's training camp in preparation for the Patterson fight. Also, he held a position in the EBU.

Obviously, Ingo is in the center. Are either of the other two Pekka Kokkonen?
