Andy Wallace was born in 1907 and did most of his
fighting out of Newark, New Jersey. His
professional boxing career spanned from 1928 to
1935. Andy faced some of the outstanding fighters
of his time including Young Stribling, who at the
time, held the record for the most career
knockouts. He also faced Don Petrin, Otto Von
Porat, Paulino Uzcudun, Cowboy Willis, George
Brescia and Frank Montagna, the famed "Madison
Butcher Boy." So highly regarded was Andy
Wallace, that Joe Louis, Young Stribling, Jack
Sharkey and Max Schmeling employed him as a
sparring partner in preparation for some of their
most important fights. Andy was associated with
the operating engineers of Local 825. Andy was a
cousin of Charlie and Walter Wallace of Ring #25.
Andy passed away on May 13, 1976.
