Mallenius took up boxing in 1945 and in 1946 won the Finnish junior lightweight title. He never held a senior national title, and qualified to the Helsinki Olympics by winning the 1952 Olympic trials. At the Olympics he won his first two bouts, but broke a carpal bone in a hand in the second one, and hence withdrew from the semifinal and retired from boxing. He then worked as a boxing coach and a building contractor. In 2008 he was inducted into the Finnish Boxing Hall of Fame.[1]
