Roosevelt had Admiral Robely Evans create a position for Hollandersky as "Newsboy of the Navy", giving him access and transportation aboard all Navy vessals to sell newspapers. 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. The personal tally of his fights which he included in his book and which were published with few modification by Nat Fleicher's Ring Record Book for the year 1944 contain persistent errors, most notably in the years of the fights and the number of rounds. As hundreds of his bouts were aboard ship, often during cruises, or in foreign countries where he traveled with the Navy, the majority have never been reported. Although the Ring Record Book listed Abe Hollandersky as first among boxers with the most fights from the 1940s to the 1970s, the majority of his purported 1,000-plus bouts were exhibitions, many on naval ships or Army and Navy training stations. ![]()
