Mallin never lost an amateur contest and was British Champion for five years
(1919-23). He never turned professional.
At Paris, he figured in one of the most unusual boxing controversies. In
a contest with Roger Brousse (FRA), he seemed to have done enough to have
won on points. But as soon as the last round had ended, Mallin tried to complain
to the referee that he had been bitten in the shoulder. Before he could make
himself understood, the bout was awarded to the French boxer on points. An
appeal launched by a Swedish official brought forward medical evidence that
Mallin had been bitten, and Brousse was disqualified - even though the jury
declared that the foul had not been intentional.
