Gogea Mitu

Dumitru Stefanescu, renowned as Gogea Mitu, remains an iconic figure in the annals of Romanian boxing. Mitu held not only the distinction of being the tallest Romanian in history but also the tallest professional boxer worldwide. Outside the boxing arena, Mitu’s personality contrasted sharply with his imposing figure. Remarkably, he taught himself to read without formal education and possessed a keen ability to discern when individuals sought to exploit him for personal gain.
