Kid Yank
Kid Yank
Hi Guys. Harry Light, wrestling promoter for the Detroit area for much of the 50s, was said to have boxed professionally when a youngster as 'Kid Yank'. Maybe fighting out of Canada, it's claimed Harry had approximately 60 bouts. Looking under both names as well as his birth name, Harold Lecht, I can't find a pro. boxer of any such name (s). Circa 1918- said to have competed as a featherweight. Does anyone know if Harry was ever a boxer?
