Nenci started boxing at the age of 17 and quickly developed into a skilled boxer with outstanding technical skills. In 1956 he qualified for the Olympic Games in Melbourne , where he won after victories over Rehmat Gul ( Pakistan ; 3rd knockout), Willi Roth ( Germany ), Antonio Marcilla ( Argentina ) and Constantin Dumitrescu ( Romania ) and a final defeat against Wladimir Jengibarjan ( Soviet Union ) won the light welterweight silver medal.
