Peter Müller

Peter Müller enjoyed a successful amateur boxing career in the early 1950s, winning two consecutive national boxing titles in 1950 and 1951 and scoring a fourth place finish at the European Championships held at Milano in 1951. Selected to the Swiss Olympic boxing team to compete at the Helsinki 1952 Olympics, Müller competed in the welterweight tournament, but lost to Moos Linnemann of the Netherlands in a knockout.

Upon his return to Switzerland after the Olympics, Müller moved to the United States where he joined his sister in Sacramento, California and worked at a refrigeration company. He was also sporadically active in boxing events in California, competing in the Northern California Golden Gloves trials in 1953. Müller eventually returned to Basel in the late 1950s and re-entered the Swiss amateur boxing scene, winning three more national titles from 1959–62 until his retirement in the latter year.
