He is notable for being one of the first professionals of African descent in these fields in the United States. Viro Small was born into slavery in Buford, South Carolina in 1854. He gained his freedom at the end of the American Civil War and moved north. Career Viro Small's career as a boxer began in 1870. There is debate over whether his wrestling career started at this point or later in 1881. The match in 1881 was a collar-and-elbow match against Mike Horogan as a substitute for another wrestler. While he lost, Horogan was very impressed with Small's ability and agreed to train him. Viro Small's career began to take off after this.

Oleg Viro
Oleg Yanovich Viro (russian: Олег Янович Виро) (b. 13 May 1948, Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian mathematician in the fields of topology and algebraic geometry, most notably real algebraic geometry, tropical geometry and knot theory. Contributions Viro developed a "patchworking" technique in algebraic geometry, which allows real algebraic varieties to be constructed by a "cut and paste" method. Using this technique, Viro completed the isotopy classification of non-singular plane projective curves of degree 7. The patchworking technique was one of the fundamental ideas which motivated the development of tropical geometry. In topology, Viro is most known for his joint work with Vladimir Turaev, in which the Turaev-Viro invariants (relatives of the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants) and related topological quantum field theory notions were introduced. Education and career Viro studied at the Leningrad State University where he received his Ph.D. degree in 1974; his advisor w ...
