nicknamed the butcher
Raoul was the darling of the Parisian public. Behind its enormous growth, physical strength (188 cm and 120 kg), the ability to fight, and also previous profession Raul Musson earned the nickname “le Boucher”, which translated means “butcher”. As said Sergei Prokopenko in his article “As Raoul Le Boucher “won” Ivan Poddubny” Parisian had worked in the butcher shop, but when he began to gain popularity in the world of sport, gave it up and in 20 years he dedicated himself fully to the struggle.

But the attempt failed — to knock down and kill the Russian hero, the Italians just couldn’t. Although “work” was not done, the Mafioso had the nerve to demand from Raul’s payment for the assassination. One to give money flatly refused, but was not as clever and fortunate as Poddubny. During the quarrel, the Frenchman missed a blow with a stick on the head and died on the spot.
