IIRC, the Professor's reference to himself as a former savateur is in the opening pages of Tintin:Flight 714. As i don't have a copy myself, perhaps someone else could check this to get the requested citation! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.20.244.207 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I have the UK Magnet edition from 1986(?), the remark is found at page 7
-...I've been an all-round sportsman in my time, though you many not think so now.
-Tennis, swimming, rugger, soccer, fencing, skating... I did them all in my young days. 
 Not forgetting the ring, too: wrestling, boxing and even savate...
-Savate?... (Laszlo Carreidas)
-No, no, no! I said savate, French boxing... Stars above! 
 They make me laugh nowadays with their judo and their karate. 
 Savate! That was real fighting!...
-Using your feet as well as your fists!... 
 I was a champion... unbeatable... just you watch this...
-HUP!
