description: "Paulino Uzcudun Eizmendi was a Basque Spanish heavyweight boxer, who is considered to be the greatest heavyweight from Spain. Uzkudun is the Basque spelling of his last name. He was the youngest of nine siblings. In his youth, he became an aizkolari or traditional competitive Basque wood chopper. Uzcudun, known as Paulino in the United States, was the European heavyweight champion, and he fought heavyweight champions Joe Louis, Max Baer, Max Schmeling and Primo Carnera (twice) during his career. The former butcher—nicknamed \"the Basque woodchopper\"—retired from boxing with a record of 49 wins, 17 losses and 3 draws."
