Burman, of Hebrew heritage, defeated five world champions, Pete Herman, Sammy Mandell, Joe Lynch, Charles Ledoux, and Johnny McCoy. He was bantamweight world champion for just one day, probably the shortest title reign in boxing history. Apparently never knocked out or stopped in his boxing career. Became a noted tailor in Chicago after his fighting career ended. Tailored several suits for the great Joe Louis during his championship reign.
