The young Belgian is fighting a frenzied fight and CERDAN does not always rule.
But the surprise is general when DELANNOIT is proclaimed EUROPEAN CHAMPION.
When the verdict was announced, MARCEL collapsed, all is lost.
Unless there is a resounding revenge.
CERDAN retires to the countryside.
He surrounds himself with his family, in an atmosphere of peace, to overcome doubt and fight.
Because we need a victory over DELANNOIT, a clear victory.
The revenge takes place in BRUSSELS, on July 10th.

But CERDAN wants to fight.

He feels ZALE in his hand and tries to conclude.
Under the avalanche of ZALE courses stumbles, he falls Marcel CERDAN is WORLD CHAMPION.
The first Frenchman at his side, his brother Vincent.
Seven thousand kilometers away, FRANCE is growing impatient.
FROM ORLY to the HALL OF CITY, it is the triumphal march.

It is the Elysee Palace, to the First Boxer of the Republic, Vincent AURIOL presents a gold medal.
Then, the Arc de Triomphe.
CERDAN enters the legend.
His defeat against LA MOTTA in June 49 did not tarnish his glory.
When, suddenly, Marcel flew victorious towards NEW YORK.
He was going to resume his title at MOTTA.
The last Picture.
In the hands of CERDAN, Ginette NEVEU\'s stradivarius.
Six hours later, on the flanks of the PIC RODONTA at the ACORES, its course was stopped.
CASABLANCA LA BLANCHE is in mourning.
The one who was never knocked out
is now lying.
On this last trip, we wear the emblems of the fighter, one hundred and sixteen fights, one hundred and twelve victories, never KO.
\"CERDAN COEUR DE LION\".
It is an understatement to say that he was brave.
He was ready to die in a ring.
In the ring as in life, he was the champion of the heart.
