Career

Amateur career

Nils Ramm was one of the most successful boxers from the early days of amateur boxing after the First World War. He was a member of the large Swedish sports club Djurgårdens IF Stockholm .

His international career began at the 1st European Amateur Boxer Championship in Stockholm . He started there in the light heavyweight division. At that time, this weight class only reached up to 79.4 kg body weight. He took 2nd place at this event. In the final he lost against Thyge Petersen from Denmark .

In February 1926 one of the first international matches in international match history took place. In Stockholm it won Sweden against Germany with 10: 6 points. Nils Ramm defeated the German Panne on points.

In January 1927, a combined Swedish-Danish boxing squad traveled to the United States. Nils Ramm boxed in the heavyweight division and competed three times against American opponents. He was knocked out in New York in the 1st round over Andy McKalities and won in Philadelphia over Joe Hanbrick by knockout in the 2nd round. The third meeting took place in Grand Rapids . No individual results are known from there.

The 2nd European Amateur Boxer Championship took place in Berlin in 1927 . Nils Ramm became European heavyweight champion with a victory over the German master Hans Schönrath .

In February 1927, Nils Ramm, back in Berlin, won a point over Johann Jaspers on the occasion of an international match between Germany and Sweden. In the same year the Olympic Games took place in Amsterdam . Nils Ramm won here in the heavyweight division in the quarterfinals over Hans Schönrath on points, won in the semifinals over Sverre Sorsdal from Norway on points and was knocked out by the strong Argentine Arturo Rodríguez Jurado in the first round. He won the silver medal with it .

Profile career

After the Olympic Games in Amsterdam, Nils Ramm became a professional boxer. In his first fight in Stockholm he met the former German heavyweight professional boxer champion Hans Breitensträter and won this fight after 10 rounds on points. This was an excellent start to his professional career. In his third professional fight on April 19, 1929 in Stockholm, Nils Ramm won the Swedish light heavyweight championship with a point victory after 10 rounds over Edward Hultgren and shortly afterwards won the Scandinavian championship in Stockholm with a victory over his Swedish compatriot Edgar Norman Light heavyweight.

In 1930 Nils Ramm went to the USA . He called himself "Nisse" Ramm there and fought a large number of fights in the same year. He won it in the first ten fights against a number of second-rate build-up opponents in a draw nine times. Towards the end of 1930 he then suffered three defeats in a row against Mickey McFarland, Bud Duran and Johnny Freeman, all boxers who were also by no means among the top American boxers. Since he did not receive any more lucrative offers in the USA afterwards, he returned to Sweden in 1931.

On February 20, 1931, he achieved a remarkable victory over the German Ludwig Haymann in Stockholm . After two more victorious fights, Nils Ramm played his last professional fight on November 19, 1931 in Stockholm against the Belgian Gustave Limousin, whom he beat on points.

As a professional boxer, he had contested 22 fights, of which he won 17.
