Bruno Arcari (born 1 January 1942) is a retired Italian light welterweight boxer who fought from 1964 to 1978. He came to the 1964 Olympics as a national champion and a bronze medalist of the 1963 European Championships, but was injured in the opening bout and had to withdraw. After that he turned professional, and again lost his first match by injury. He had only one loss further in his career, also by injury, and won 70 bouts, 38 of them by knockout. Arcari held the European title in 1968, and on 31 January 1970 captured the WBC world title after defeating Pedro Adigue. He relinquished it 1973 to move up to the welterweight class, but did not fight for a major title until his retirement in 1978.[1] He later managed top professional fighters in Italy.[2]
