	Hollandersky acted as a boxing trainer for the Navy in WWI. He began fighting boxing exhibitions for the entertainment of Navy men possibly as early as 1906, continuing ~~through 1920~~. He completed more sparring rounds while providing training to navy men during his world cruise around 1907-8, his work as a land-based boxing trainer for the Navy in 1919, and when he completed a long cruise, in early 1925 from New London to California via the Panama Canal, that went overland to San Pedro and then followed the "Good Will" cruise to Hawaii.		Hollandersky acted as a boxing trainer for the Navy in WWI. He began fighting boxing exhibitions for the entertainment of Navy men possibly as early as 1906, continuing well past his boxing retirement to San Diego. He completed more sparring rounds while providing training to navy men during his world cruise around 1907-8, his work as a land-based boxing trainer for the Navy in 1919, and when he completed a long cruise, in early 1925 from New London to California via the Panama Canal, that went overland to San Pedro and then followed the "Good Will" cruise to Hawaii.

	During his cruises, he fought exhibitions for the entertainment of the crew, and helped with training instruction for the boxing teams on some of the larger vessels. He was a knockout victim of hard hitting "Buffalo" Eddie Kelly as a nineteen year old boxer in 1906 in a New York club, two years before Kelly fought Abe Attell three times in World Featherweight Title matches. Hundreds of Hollandersky's exhibition matches were with the Navy, and records of only a tiny number of these fights have survived.

	After retiring from boxing, he moved to Los Angeles around 1926 and appeared as an extra in as many as twenty movies, often with other boxers. In 20th Century Film's 1933, ''The Bowery'', Hollandersky worked with ex-Middleweight Champion Al McCoy and boxers "Fireman" Jim Flynn, heavyweight Frank Moran, and New York Jewish boxers Phil Bloom, and Joe Glick. In MGM's 1938, successful movie ''The Crowd Roars'', Hollandersky was given a brief close up after appearing in a background gymnasium scene with boxers Larry Williams, [[Maxie Rosenbloom]], [[Abie Bain]], [[Phil Bloom]] and [[Joe Glick]], as well as [[Jimmy McLarnin]], Jack Roper, and Tommy Herman. Hollandersky also acted in Fox's 1928 "Dressed to Kill" and Paramount's 1930 "Roadhouse Nights".

	In late 1925, after cruising to Honolulu, Hawaii with the naval fleet for his last professional bout, Hollandersky posed with Jack Dempsey and Fidel LaBarba after he returned to Los Angeles to look for wrestling matches. The photo was probably taken at one of Dempsey's exhibitions around December and ran in a number of newspapers around December 19, 1925 including pg. 13 of the "Indianapolis Star" when both LaBarba and Dempsey's fighting schedule took them to Los Angeles. The heading in the "Star" read "Famous Boxing Champions Meet Again," perhaps implying Hollandersky had met them previously. Boxer [[Larry Williams]] and wrestler and actor Bull Montana were friends and work out partners for Dempsey, and Montana wrestled with Dempsey as part of his workout routines on many occasions, often in front of a large gathering of press. Both were acquaintances of Hollandersky as well~~, according to his autobiography~~.

	Hollandersky authored his self published autobiography in 1930 entitled ''The Life Story of Abe the Newsboy with the U.S. Navy, Hero of a Thousand Fights.'' At page 384, and in his personal boxing record at the back each of his books, he claimed to have fought more than 1,100 bouts. According to his book, his last professional fight occurred in June of 1925 in Honolulu, Hawaii, before Governor Farrington, which he won.

	His large personal tally of fights also included benefits, as well as training and sparring matches. He reputedly had over three hundred wrestling matches as well. According to the May 31 ''New York Times'', he became Heavyweight Champion of Panama on May 30, 1913 when he defeated Jack Ortega in Panama City, though outweighed by forty pounds. Fighting as an underdog in both height and weight, Hollandersky won the favor of the crowd for his clean fighting and modest behavior, traits lacking in his challenger Ortega, who had done time in San Quentin prior to his coming to Panama. A number of more skilled American boxers followed Hollandersky to Panama City shortly after his championship win, diminishing his chances of retaining the title for long. Kid Norfolk, born in Norfolk, Virginia, was one of those boxers.		His large personal tally of fights also included benefits, as well as training and sparring matches.

	Although the ''[[Ring Record Book]]'' listed '''Abe Hollandersky''' as first among boxers with the most fights from the 1940s to the 1970s, the majority of his purported 1,000-plus bouts were exhibitions, many on naval ships and ~~naval~~ training stations.

Although the ''[[Ring Record Book]]'' listed '''Abe Hollandersky''' as first among boxers with the most fights from the 1940s to the 1970s, the majority of his purported 1,000-plus bouts were exhibitions, many on naval ships or Army and Navy training stations. As hundreds of his bouts were aboard ship, often during cruises, or in foreign countries where he traveled with the Navy, the majority have never been reported. The personal tally of his fights which he included in his book and which were published with few modification by Nat Fleicher's ''Ring Record Book'' for the year 1944 contain persistent errors, most notably in the years of the fights and the number of rounds. Hollandersky's most famous sparring partner was President Theodore Roosevelt with whom he may have exchanged a few playful blows when they met in September of 1906 aboard the Presidential yacht ''USS Mayflower''. Roosevelt had Admiral Robely Evans create a position for Hollandersky as "Newsboy of the Navy", giving him access and transportation aboard all Navy vessals to sell newspapers.

In early 1912, where there is a gap in his boxing record, Abe sailed to Cuba.

	He authored his self published autobiography in 1930 entitled ''The Life Story of Abe the Newsboy with the U.S. Navy, Hero of a Thousand Fights.'' At page 384, he claimed to have fought more than 1,100 bouts. ~~He wrote in his book that his~~ last professional fight occurred in ~~1927~~ in Honolulu, before Governor Farrington, which he won.		In late 1925, after cruising to Honolulu, Hawaii with the naval fleet for his last professional bout, Hollandersky posed with Jack Dempsey and Fidel LaBarba after he returned to Los Angeles to look for wrestling matches. The photo was probably taken at one of Dempsey's exhibitions around December and ran in a number of newspapers around December 19, 1925 including pg. 13 of the "Indianapolis Star" when both LaBarba and Dempsey's fighting schedule took them to Los Angeles. The heading in the "Star" read "Famous Boxing Champions Meet Again," perhaps implying Hollandersky had met them previously. Boxer [[Larry Williams]] and wrestler and actor Bull Montana were friends and work out partners for Dempsey, and Montana wrestled with Dempsey as part of his workout routines on many occasions, often in front of a large gathering of press. Both were acquaintances of Hollandersky as well, according to his autobiography.

	His large personal tally of fights also included benefits, as well as training and sparring matches. He reputedly had over three hundred wrestling matches as well. According to the May 31 ''New York Times'', he became Heavyweight Champion of Panama on May 30, 1913 when he defeated Jack Ortega in Panama City, though outweighed by ~~forty~~ pounds. Fighting as an underdog in both height and weight, Hollandersky won the favor of the crowd for his clean fighting and modest behavior, traits lacking in his challenger Ortega, who had done time in San Quentin prior to his coming to Panama. A number of more skilled American boxers followed Hollandersky to Panama City shortly after his championship win, diminishing his chances of retaining the title for long. Kid Norfolk, born in Norfolk, Virginia, was one of those boxers.		His large personal tally of fights also included benefits, as well as training and sparring matches. He reputedly had over three hundred wrestling matches as well. According to the May 31 ''New York Times'', he became Heavyweight Champion of Panama on May 30, 1913 when he defeated Jack Ortega in Panama City, though outweighed by around thirty-five pounds. Fighting as an underdog in both height and weight, Hollandersky won the favor of the crowd for his clean fighting and modest behavior, traits lacking in his challenger Ortega, who had done time in San Quentin prior to his coming to Panama. A number of more skilled American boxers followed Hollandersky to Panama City shortly after his championship win, diminishing his chances of retaining the title for long. Kid Norfolk, born in Norfolk, Virginia, was one of those boxers.

	Hollandersky successfully defended his Panamanian Heavyweight title once in a rematch with Ortega in August of 1913, and then lost it to future International Hall of Fame boxer and "Colored" World Champion [[Kid Norfolk]] on January 18, 1914 in 25 grueling rounds in Colon, Panama. He fought the accomplished boxers [[Panama Joe Gans]], Al Rogers, Navy champion Tommy Teague, Italian Joe Gans, Bill Scott (exhibition), Connecticut State Welterweight Champion Contender Dave Palitz, Connecticut Lightweight Champion and Yale boxing coach Mosey King, and one time Featherweight World Champion contender Austin Rice during his career. His most famous exhibition partners, both of whom he fought in New London included the great world champion [[Joe Walcott]] in November, 1918, and world featherweight champion [[Abe Attell]] whom he fought in four friendly exhibitions in New London in 1916 near the end of Attell's boxing career.

			During a conspicuous gap in his boxing record around 1907-8, he took a cruise with a portion of the Navy's Great White Fleet to Australia, aboard the ''USS Kearsarge'', where he sold papers while in port, and gave a few boxing exhibitions for the entertainment of the crew, as was his habit.

	Hollandersky acted as a boxing trainer for the Navy in WWI. He began fighting boxing exhibitions for the entertainment of Navy men possibly as early as 1906, continuing through 1920. He completed more sparring rounds while providing training to navy men during his world cruise around 1907-8, his work as a land-based boxing trainer for the Navy in 1919, and when he completed two long cruises, one around 1925 from New London to California via the Panama Canal, and one in April of 1925 to Hawaii.

	During his cruises, he fought exhibitions for the entertainment of the crew, and helped with training instruction for the boxing teams on some of the larger vessels. He was a knockout victim of hard hitting "Buffalo" Eddie Kelly as a nineteen year old boxer in 1906 in a New York club, two years before Kelly fought Abe Attell three times in World Featherweight Title matches. Hundreds of Hollandersky's exhibition matches were with the Navy, and records of only a tiny number of these fights have survived.

	After retiring from boxing, he moved to Los Angeles around 1926 and appeared as an extra in as many as twenty movies, often with other boxers. In 20th Century Film's 1933, ''The Bowery'', Hollandersky worked with ex-Middleweight Champion Al McCoy and boxers "Fireman" Jim Flynn, heavyweight Frank Moran, and New York Jewish boxers Phil Bloom, and Joe Glick. In MGM's 1938, ~~successfull~~ movie ''The Crowd Roars'', Hollandersky was given a brief close up after appearing in a background gymnasium scene with boxers Larry Williams, [[Maxie Rosenbloom]], [[Abie Bain]], [[Phil Bloom]] and [[Joe Glick]], as well as [[Jimmy McLarnin]], Jack Roper, and Tommy Herman. Hollandersky also acted in Fox's 1928 "Dressed to Kill" and Paramount's 1930 "Roadhouse Nights".
