Hippolyte Annex (born 14 February 1933) is a French former professional boxer. He was four times French champion,[1] holding the French welterweight title from 1960 when he beat Michel Lombardet[2] to 1961 and the middleweight title from 1961 to 1963.[3] In 1962, he unsuccessfully fought Laszlo Papp for the EBU European middleweight title.[4]
Professional career
Annex's first professional fight was against Ceslaw Dudek on 12 April 1959 in Paris, winning by a knock out. In 37 professional bouts, Annex won 28 (19 by knock outs), drew 6 and lost 3 (all KOs).[3]
A proposed bout in Paris with Sugar Ray Robinson was announced in 1962 but did not happen.[5]
Annex's last fight was on 16 June 1963 at the St. Nazaire Stadium, Saint-Nazaire, Loire-Atlantique, France, when he was knocked out by the Senegalese boxer Souleymane Diallo.[3]
In 2007, his home town of Pézenas honoured Annex by naming a street after him.[1] A gymnasium in the town's sports park has been named after him since 2016.[6]
