Even in success, Tony resolutely leads the simple life. He still lives in his old bachelor apartment ($50 a month) on Manhattan's West Side, drinks milk instead of martinis, dodges nightclubs, wears baggy tweeds. A trifle nearsighted, he reads voraciously (Wolfe, Camus, Fitzgerald), memorized the long, difficult part of Gene in one day. His main relaxation: late night TV and movies...
...comfortless frame farmhouse (no electricity, no plumbing) became a lonelier place after the deaths of his father 1940 and bachelor brother Henry 1944.

When he turned pro in 1955, he went back to Algeria to begin his career. Along with every other...
...bachelor, who says he is married to La Boxe, Alphonse, 25, takes his profession seriously. Before last week's fight he prayed for victory in a Los Angeles synagogue; he still wears his handmade trunks in every fight, even when TV's demand for a readily identifiable black or white pair means putting other trunks on top of them. Now there are no outstanding challengers to bother him. Back in Paris, he will have time to relax and enjoy his $50,000 purse. His fans will find him with Cherif Hamia and the rest of les durs...
