      CHARLES HOFF (1905–1975)

      Est: €1,400 - €1,600

      CHARLES HOFF (1905–1975) | Emile Griffith vs Benny Paret, New York 1962 | Vintage silver print, double-weight single-matte paper, good condition 26,8 x 34 cm “N.Y. DAILY NEWS PHOTO” credit stamp with handwritten photographer’s credit and several handwritten annotations in ink and pencil on the reverse Der Kubaner Benny Kid Paret (1937–1962) war seit 1960 Weltmeister im Weltergewicht. Im April 1961 verlor er den Titel an seinen Erzrivalen Emile Griffith (1938–2013) durch KO in der dreizehnten Runde, gewann ihn aber noch im selben Jahr nach Punkten zurück. Am 24. März 1962 kam es zum dritten Duell um die Weltmeisterschaft im Weltergewicht gegen Griffith. Vor dem Kampf im Madison Square Garden soll Paret Griffith die Worte „Schwuchtel, ich krieg euch beide, dich und deinen Ehemann“ ins Ohr geflüstert haben. Griffith wurde wütend und konnte nur mühsam von Freunden zurückgehalten werden. In der sechsten Runde hatte Paret Griffith am Boden und dieser wurde vom Gong gerettet, als er schwere Treffer nahm. In der zwölften Runde aber landete Griffith eine Serie von Schlägen und Paret wurde schließlich ohnmächtig. Er fiel ins Koma und starb zehn Tage später im Alter von 25 Jahren. The Cuban Benny Kid Paret (1937–1962) had been world welterweight champion since 1960. In April 1961 he lost the title to his arch-rival Emile Griffith (1938–2013) by knockout in the thirteenth round, but won it back on points the same year. On 24 March 1962, it came to the third duel for the world welterweight championship against Griffith. Before the fight at Madison Square Garden, Paret is said to have whispered the words “Faggot, I'll get you both, you and your husband” in Griffith’s ear. Griffith became enraged and was only held back with difficulty by friends. In the sixth round, Paret had Griffith down and the latter was saved by the gong as he took heavy hits. In the twelfth round, however, Griffith landed a series of punches and Paret finally fainted. He went into a coma and died ten days later at the age of 25.
