He was a Minnesota fighter who fought most of the top lightweights of his time and was a solid lightweight. His rivalry with Billy Petrolle was probably his best bouts as a pro though he did beat several other top lightweights of his day. I don't recall why he chose King Tut, but he probably did so just to have something flashy and catchy to help promote him.
