According to his grandson, Nick Lystar was of Ukrainian heritage. His last name was originally Lystar but he changed it to Frankie Jackson because the locals had problems pronouncing Lystar. Lystar reportedly befriended an army mate who was a bit of a mother's boy, and he changed his name to his and fought under his name of Frankie Jackson, mailing the press clippings to his mom.

Jackson (as Nick Lystar) beat Frank Battaglia as an amateur.
