Από τις εκδόσεις ΜΥΓΔΟΝΙΑ εκδόθηκε το 2005 η βιογραφία του Πρωταθλητή μας Χάρη Καρπόζηλου που έγραψε και επιμελήθηκε ο υιός του Γεώργιος Καρπόζηλος. Στο βιβλίο αναφέρεται η ζωή και η πορεία του Χάρη στο άθλημα της ελευθέρας πάλης και ιδιαίτερα στον άθλο που επέτυχε στην Αμερική στο διάστημα της παραμονής του εκεί (1954-1955) όπου κατέκτησε την "χρυσή ζώνη" πετυχαίνοντας 105 νίκες!! . Το βίντεο που παρακολουθούμε ήρθε ξαφνικά σαν από μηχανής Θεός από το Σικάγο το 2014 και επιβεβαιώνει όσα πλείστα περιγράφονται και μέσα στο βιβλίο.

Hi George - just so happens I am editing a 16mm film shot by my late uncle in Sydney Australia 1962. He is seen stretching on a Sydney beach and then two matches with his opponents of which one is Michel Barone. My uncle had something to do with bringing Mr Karpozilos to Australia, I think. I will let you know when I upload to my channel. I stumbled on this Chicago video when doing research on the wrestlers. Amazing to have made contact with you!!

Karpozil was a mountain of muscle. His back was was huge . He walked around with his arms out showing off his huge shoulders

Russ mentioned "the boys should have stayed in the showers" because of the decision. I would have stayed in the shower with Karpozilos that hot little muscular fireplug. Bet we could have fun in the shower or the steam room.
