That was an interesting article on Dieter in today’s newsletter. I seem to recall his involvement in the shortest ever bout on ITV when he KO’d Ezzard Hart in just seconds. Is my memory correct?

There is a match on youtube with Axel Dieter taking on Chris (American Dream) Colt
from Germany in September 1980.
One other point of note is that current WWE wrestler Ludwig Kaiser (Marcel Barthel) is Axel Dieter's son and has been acknowledged as such in commentary.
Looks like that was broadcast 21st September, 1963 itvwrestling.co.uk gives a Dieter win but no details.
