Louis Calebout, better known as “Cabo” in his hometown of Brugge, made his only notable international appearance at the 1948 Olympics, where he went out in the first round. Fighting under the ring name Louis Cabo, he had a 10-year career as a professional from 1949 onwards. He won 31 of 59 fights which included two spells as national featherweight champion of Belgium between 1952 and 1955. His career highlight was probably a victory over world title challenger Cherif Hamia in Hamia’s native Algeria. Calebout later worked as a boxing trainer with Wimme Boxing Club Brugge.
