Sydney Greve

Sydney Phillip Greve was a Anglo-Indian two time Olympic boxer. He competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics, losing to Dennis Shepherd of South Africa and tying 17th rank; and in the 1952 Summer Olympics, beating Ángel Leyes of Argentina and tying 9th rank.
Greve started boxing at a young age and went on to become the flyweight champion of India in 1943. He held the title for three years with wins in 1944 and 1945 and then went on to win the bantamweight title for 1946 and 1947. In 1948, he won the Pakistan flyweight championship and was among the first boxers to represent the new nation in international competition. He was selected to represent the country in the 1948 Olympics.
At the age of 27, he was known throughout Asia, pound for pound, the best amateur fighter in the entire sub continent. Frequently dubbed by sports media as the "Killer" and the "KO Kid", reflecting his relentless talent in the boxing ring. Often referred to in the press as the 'most destructive fighting machine in the continent', which was an over-exaggeration one bit, Sydney's lighting fast fists and his patented 'pay off punch' were the big crowd pleasers. He was described as having herculean shoulders and an unmatched ring sense that made him a formidable opponent no matter who he faced.
