Leszek Błażyński

Leszek Błażyński (5 March 1949 – 6 August 1992) was a Polish boxer who twice won the bronze medal in the men's flyweight (– 51 kg) division at the Summer Olympics. He first did so in 1972, when Munich hosted the Games. Four years later in Montreal, he once again captured the bronze, after a loss in the semifinals against eventual winner Leo Randolph of the United States.

Błażyński was born in Ełk, Warmińsko-Mazurskie. He committed suicide in 1992, aged 43, in Katowice, Śląskie. He suffered from depression after the death of his wife. He was buried at the Communal Cemetery in Katowice. Provided by Wikipedia
