From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Hussing (born May 15, 1948 in Brachbach, Sieg) was a West German heavyweight boxing champion. Although one of the favorites in European Championship in Katowice in 1975, he was heavily KO-ed by Andrzej Biegalski from Poland, who later became the champion. Four years later, Hussing became the European Champion in Cologne 1979. He also represented West Germany at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, where he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Nowadays, Hussing is listed on multiple vegetarian websites as a vegetarian heavyweight; however, this information is nearly impossible to verify. It is also unclear if he was a vegetarian at his peak boxing career years.
