Biografia

In addition to winning a bronze medal in the 1964 Olympics, Ronnie Harris won the National AAU title in that same year. He was the youngest member of the 1964 US Olympic boxing team, fighting in Tokyo at only 17-years-old. He later turned professional, fighting from 1965 to 1973 as a pro, with a career record of 24 wins (5 by knockout), 4 losses, and 1 draw. He never fought for a major title. His career began with a 6th-round knockout of Willie Cooper in Wheeling, West Virginia, and ended in Toronto after a loss by decision to Arturo Zuñiga. In his obituaries his retirement was termed "abrupt." Harris was killed in 1980 when he was shot approaching the home of a friend. He was no relation to the Ronnie Harris who boxed for the US at the 1968 Olympics.
