Following on from RON's Recent Threads on GIANTS!-Here's an Individual Look at a Wrestler
Who was Billed as The SUPER GIANT-Weighing a Quarter of a Ton!!
Strong as 50 Men ZAHE Offers to Beat ANY Boxer One-Handed!!
His 'Towering Height' was Billed variously from 7' 7" to 8' 4"!!
ZEHE Lived in FRANKFURT and was Champion of GERMANY!
ATHOLL OAKELEY decided to Match him against 6' 6" JACK DOYLE at HARRINGAY Arena in a
World HEAVYWEIGHT Championship Eliminator!
Below I Share My Programme Cover for This Show!

Thanks Hack.
Love that bill with the six championship matches; one belt seems to have featured in two bouts.
As Saxonwolf says, we have discovered that Oakeley was in it for the short-term every time he promoted.
And of course (this) Gargantua can still be seen on Youtube.
Zehe wasnt in real not larger then 2m 15cm. He was the last winner of a tournament in vienna before the war. Later he played some minor roles in films. This is a picture from one of them (a fairy tale)
Very cool treasures MM, always happy to see anything from the Harringay
Thanks Main Mask. It was more than 10 years ago that Anglo Italian re-discovered Kurt Zehe. Until then there had been nothing about him.
Here he is.

Good stuff as always MM, I think Atholl was always very liberal with the truth!
Jack Doyle's life story was incredible, and he appears to have been a legitimate 6ft 5".
