Samuel Lazzaro (August 6, 1903 – March 31, 1982), better known by his boxing alias Joe Dundee, was an Italian-American boxer.[1] He was the brother of Middleweight Champion Vince Dundee.[2] During his career, he was recognized as the World Welterweight Champion for a period of two years.[3] Dundee fought Pete Latzo for the World Welterweight Title at the Polo Grounds, winning via majority decision. He lost his crown when he was disqualified in two rounds during a bout with Hall of Famer Jackie Fields.[4] Among his noteworthy bouts is a draw with Lew Tendler and a technical knockout victory over the famed Mickey Walker.[1] Dundee was inducted into the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1959.[5]
