1923

Josef "Joschi" Weidinger (25 April 1923 – 26 June 2002), better known as Jo Weidin, was an Austrian boxer who won the European Boxing Union heavyweight title in 1950.

In 1947 he beat Jan Declercq, Enrico Bertola, Stephane Olek, and Robert Eugene to win a European heavyweight tournament (with no title at stake).

1948

In 1948 he travelled to the United States, where he was described as "Jack Dempsey's protege" and "the post-war Jewish hope for heavyweight honors" (despite not actually being Jewish), and recorded four wins and four losses, two of his defeats at the hands of Freddie Beshore and Lee Oma.

Back in Austria he won his next three fights, including a second-round stoppage of Heinz Lazek in September 1949.

1951

Weidin lost the title in his first defence, losing on points to Jack Gardner in March 1951.
