Courchesne packed 62 bouts into his short five year career, collecting the New England Lightweight title along the way. He had victories over Johnny Busso and Russell Tague. In his final bout (with Bobby Bell) he was ahead on two cards when he suffered a convulsion between rounds that the doctor felt was caused by the heat. I do not know if his health was the reason for Courchesne's retirement from the ring, but he did not fight again.
Courchesne retired due to head injury suffered in the Bell fight.
