Olson received training from boxers who were stationed in Hawaii during World War II, and it was during this period that he picked up his two trademark tattoos.<sup id="cite_ref-Boxrec_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boxrec-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Obituary_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Obituary-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Using a fake identity card Olson obtained a boxing license at the age of 16. His earliest fights were in his native Kalihi, Hawaii. He had won his first three contests, two by knockout, before his true age was discovered. During 1945, Olson ran off to San Francisco to continue his boxing career. By the time he was 18, he had amassed a record of 13 successive wins (10 by KO). Even at this stage his power and huge reserves of stamina were clear, as was his rather average skill.<sup id="cite_ref-Boxrec_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boxrec-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Obituary_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Obituary-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Advertiser_Obit_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Advertiser_Obit-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Professional_career">Professional career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bobo_Olson&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Professional career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg/220px-Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="190" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg/330px-Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg/440px-Bobo_Olson_and_Sugar_Ray_Robinson_1955.jpg 2x" data-file-width="472" data-file-height="407" /></a><figcaption>Olson and Sugar Ray Robinson before their 1955 fight</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg/220px-Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg/330px-Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg/440px-Bobo_Olson_1955.jpg 2x" data-file-width="914" data-file-height="690" /></a><figcaption>Olson knocked out by Sugar Ray Robinson in 1955</figcaption></figure> <p>The first real test of Olson's career came on March 20, 1950, Olson's record at this point was 40 wins and 2 losses, against the Australian <a href="/wiki/Dave_Sands" title="Dave Sands">Dave Sands</a>.

Olson, who was widely seen as a slow starter, failed to get into the fight, even though Robinson was not having one of his best fights. Olson managed to hold on for 11 rounds before being knocked out.
