Champ in the Corner cover

In the 1950s, Arcel ran independent television fights from various cities across the USA, upsetting the monopolistic International Boxing Club run by millionaire Jim Norris with the backroom assistance of mobster Frankie Carbo, a one-time gunman for Murder Inc. He came back in the 1970s to train Duran. He last worked the corner in 1982.
