	'''Isadore (Izzy) Schwartz''' (Hebrew name, used occasionally, was likely Yisrael, or "Israel"), orphaned at the age of two, grew up in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum in New York's East Village. Although too small for the military, he still managed to enlist, eventually rising to the rank of corporal and reported by the Portland Press Herald December 22nd, 1924 to have won ~~The~~ US Army Flyweight Title on December 9th, 1922 in a battle at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. ~~Reportedly~~ saw action in France at the end of World War I in 1918!

			Schwartz won the Southwest Bantamweight title on November 22, 1926, defeating [[Johnny McCoy]] in El Paso, Texas; and eight days later won the Pacific Coast Bantamweight title defeating [[Chuck Hellman]] over ten rounds in Portland, Oregon. These were the first two important professional boxing titles won by Schwartz in his fighting career. And he won both these titles fighting out of his class as a bantamweight, while likely weighing at the 112 lbs Flyweight limit or less.
