He is not to be confused with his middleweight namesake, who is actually his son. Inspired by his compatriots Roberto Caminero "Chocolatico" Pérez, Enrique Regüeiferos, Félix Betancourt and Rolando Garbey who also hail from Santiago de Cuba, he started boxing in 1966. At the PanAm Games in Cali, Colombia (1971) he won gold against American Larry Carlisle, but it was not until he beat Betancourt at the national championships in 1972 that he was able to secure his ticket to the Olympics. There he knocked out defending champion Manfred Wolke and beat the rest on points to win the first Cuban welterweight gold. 1972 Olympic resultsBelow is the record of Emilio Correa, a Cuban welterweight boxer who competed at the 1972 Munich Olympics:
