Freddie Little (born April 25, 1936) is an American former professional boxer who held the undisputed junior middleweight championship.
Professional career Little turned professional in 1957 and challenged the World light middleweight title against Ki-Soo Kim, but lost by split decision in 1967. In 1968 he challenged for the title against Sandro Mazzinghi. The bout stopped with Mazzinghi bleeding from cuts over both eyes. The ringside officials ruled a "no-contest", though under normal circumstances Little would have won by technical knockout.
In 1969 Little captured the vacant World light middleweight title winning by decision against Stanley Hayward. He defended the belt twice before losing it to Carmelo Bossi in 1970 by decision. He retired in 1972.Freddie Little. Boxrec.
