Kong Studio likes to weave a good tale while also championing the underdog. Domenico Antonio ‘Two-Ton’ Galento, a boxing hero of his time whose legend has, scandalously, began to fade from memory. At a modest 5’9” and limited athletic ability, his heavyweight status derived mainly from his appetite and, dare we say, gluttony. He ate whatever and whenever he wanted, including on one occasion 52 hotdogs as a pre-match sharpener! Nutritional coaches were not exactly a thing in the 1930s… and if they were Two-Ton wouldn’t have been a fan.
