Transitions - Max Schmeling

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Max Schmeling has died at the age of 99. The German boxing idol died on Wednesday.

Schmeling won the world championship from Jack Sharkey in 1930. His knockout of Joe Louis, who would later become a firm friend, in 1936 solidified his position as one of the greatest fighters of his era

After WWII, during which he served as a paratrooper, Schmeling became a wealthy man by running the German operation of Coca-Cola.

Did you know that Max Schmeling paid Joe Louis' funeral expenses, a real freind to the very end.

RIP
