Hymie Wiseman had been a mid-west amateur bantamweight champion before embarking on his professional career. He spent most of his career fighting out of the Mid-West--rarely venturing west of Iowa or east of Chicago. For two months in 1931 Wiseman was ranked by The Ring magazine as the #9 featherweight in the world. It also appears from the historical record that Wiseman was never knocked out in his boxing career. He was a stablemate of boxers Louis Mays and brother fighters Henry and Vale Falegano. Wiseman became a boxing manager and was reputed to be involved with Mafia activities in the Mid-West after retiring from boxing.

Wiseman was announced as the new promoter in Newtown, Iowa during the fall of 1932.

In 1941 as a manager he purchased the contract of Lee Savold from Pinkie George for $250. (Iowa City-Press Citizen) He was still managing Savold at least as late as 1944.
