Career
The Lazzara family emigrated from Sicily to the United States and lived in Baltimore. In 1933, after nearly 11 years in the ring, Dundee defeated Lou Brouillard over 15 rounds to capture the New York State middleweight title of the world. Dundee lost his claim to the crown when he was outpointed by Teddy Yarosz on September 11, 1934.
Dundee retired with a record of 118 wins (28 knockouts), 20 losses and 13 draws.
Dundee survived a collision with a train that hurled his automobile several hundred feet not long after his boxing career ended. He later was stricken with Multiple Sclerosis in 1942.
