January 1958 Extra Fighters

Siegfried Formella - Germany - LHW
Career Record: W10(KO 6) / L17(KO 14) / D1

Formella fought in his homeland Germany exclusively up through August 1950. As you can see by his record he was easily stopped in a fight. He fought two pretty good German fighters of the 1950s, Heavywieght Neinz Neuhaus whom Formella fought in June 1949 in Neuhaus' 2nd career bout and then in Formella's next bout in August he fought Light Heavy Willi Hoepner in his debut fight.

After being stopped by Harry Augustin in the 2nd round of thier 6, in August 1950, Siegfried then is not shown climbing into the ring until Decemeber of 1952 where is has relocated to Australia.He fights in Aussie land till Jan 1956 except for one venture to Vienna, Austria where he takes on Karl Machain.Would wonder what brought about him leaving Australia for that one fight?

After loosing by 7th round KO to middleweight Alfie Sands in January 1956 he apparently leaves Australia for good going back to his native Germany where he in January 1957 he fights one last time, TKO'd in the 1st round against Uwe Janssen.
