LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The legendary boxing referee Mills Lan wore too many hats throughout his life. From being a judge to a boxer to a boxing referee, he never backed down from any challenges.
However, that is not all. Lane was best known for having officiated several major heavyweight championship boxing matches in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and for starring in the syndicated court show 'Judge Mills Lane'. Lane was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and was likewise inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in August of the same year.
