Prince Henry's real name was Edwin Fluck. The Buffalo Courier for Oct. 3, 1916 said he was born in Allentown 26 years earlier. He had entered Muhlenberg College and began to prepare himself for a career in physics and chemistry, but he liked athletics so much that he dropped out to become a boxer. The paper said that boxing is then a side-line for him, and he has various business interests in Detroit, where he was then making his home. He took the bout with Schiffer on on 24 hours notice, when he was visiting friends in Buffalo, but he put up such a close battle that they brought him back to fight Nelson.

1920 Census: Fluck lists his occupation as a Fight Promoter.
