Abe "The Newsboy" Hollandersky (December 3, 1888 November 1, 1966) was an American professional boxer who won the Panamanian national Heavyweight Title when he defeated Californian Jack Ortega in nine rounds in Panama City on May 30, 1913. American congressmen, Naval personnel, and canal workers were among the crowd of nearly two thousand who watched Hollandersky gain victory over an opponent who outweighed him by over thirty-five pounds. The New York Times announced Hollandersky's best known win the following morning. Hollandersky was reputed to have fought an unprecedented 1,039 boxing matches between 1905 and 1918, as well as 387 wrestling matches. The record of 1,039 bouts from Hollandersky's autobiography was featured for decades in the Guinness Book of World Records, Ripley's Believe it or Not, The Ring Record Book, and hundreds of short newspaper articles made available as Associated Press fillers, appearing most frequently between 1930 and 1970. The most common fight total cited by Hollandersky was 1,039, but as Abe fought additional exhibitions he increased the count, thus a few sources that interviewed him after the publication of his book quote higher totals. Hollandersky's most famous sparring partner was President Theodore Roosevelt with whom he may have exchanged a few playful blows when they met in September of 1906 aboard the Presidential yacht USS Mayflower. Roosevelt had Admiral Robely Evans create a position for Hollandersky as "Newsboy of the Navy", giving him access and transportation aboard all Navy vessels to sell newspapers. In his role as newsboy to the Navy he met, worked or corresponded with four Presidents, at least two Secretaries of the Navy, and many high-ranking admirals, while documenting his meetings and correspondence. Several sources also credit him with taking an American or World Welterweight Wrestling Championship in December 1907. Hollandersky's claim to the championship was a result of a victory over "Young Roeber" who wrestled frequently in New York and held several wrestling weight division titles. Hollandersky acted as a boxing trainer for the Navy in WWI. He began fighting boxing exhibitions for the entertainment of Navy men possibly as early as 1906, continuing well past his boxing retirement to San Diego. He completed more sparring rounds while providing training to navy men during his world cruise around 1907-8, his work as a land-based boxing trainer for the Navy in 1919, and when he completed a long cruise, in early 1925 from New London to California via the Panama Canal, that went overland to San Pedro and then followed the "Good Will" cruise to Hawaii. During his cruises, he fought exhibitions for the entertainment of the crew, and helped with training instruction for the boxing teams on some of the larger vessels. He was a knockout victim of hard hitting "Buffalo" Eddie Kelly as a nineteen year old boxer in 1906 in a New York club, two years before Kelly fought Abe Attell three times in World Featherweight Title matches. Hundreds of Hollandersky's exhibition matches were with the Navy, and records of only a tiny number of these fights have survived. After retiring from professional boxing, he moved to Los Angeles around 1926 and appeared as an extra in as many as twenty movies, often with other boxers, though he continued to stage exhibitions for charities, and to provide training for Navy men. In 20th Century Film's 1933, The Bowery, Hollandersky worked with ex-Middleweight Champion Al McCoy and boxers "Fireman" Jim Flynn, heavyweight Frank Moran, and New York Jewish boxers Phil Bloom, and Joe Glick. In MGM's 1938, successful movie The Crowd Roars, Hollandersky was given a brief close up after appearing in a background gymnasium scene with boxers Larry Williams, Maxie Rosenbloom, Abie Bain, Phil Bloom and Joe Glick, as well as Jimmy McLarnin, Jack Roper, and Tommy Herman. Hollandersky also acted in Fox's 1928 "Dressed to Kill" and Paramount's 1930 "Roadhouse Nights". Hollandersky authored his self published autobiography in 1930 entitled The Life Story of Abe the Newsboy with the U.S. Navy, Hero of a Thousand Fights. At page 384, and in his personal boxing record at the back each of his books, he claimed to have fought more than 1,100 bouts. According to his book, his last professional fight occurred in June of 1925 in Honolulu, Hawaii, before Governor Farrington, which he won. Fourteenth Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
