Abraham Hollandersky: The Newsboy Who Never Stopped Swinging
Episode Description
Before there were influencers, there was Abraham Hollandersky — better known as Abe the Newsboy — who built himself into a one-man brand long before social media or publicists. Born to poor Jewish immigrants, Abe hustled his way from selling newspapers on the docks to boxing world champions and rubbing elbows with presidents, generals, and movie stars.
He fought hundreds of bouts (depending who you ask), sold papers on every coast, and somehow convinced half the Navy he was one of them. A sailor, scrapper, and storyteller with enough chutzpah to fill Madison Square Garden, Abe was the original self-promoter — a mensch with muscle and a mouth.
In this episode, hosts Aaron Berg and Andrew Davidsburg dive into the outrageous life of Abraham Hollandersky, the Jewish newsboy who turned every punch, sale, and handshake into legend. From the shtetl to the shipyard, Abe proved that you don’t need a title belt to be a champion — just grit, charm, and a good story to tell.
