George (Knockout) Brown of Chicago (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Joe said:
    George "KO" Brown was born George Contas in Sparta, Greece, in 1890. During his career as a middleweight boxer he fought over 100 bouts, mostly in the United States, but several in Australia. He was also known as Chicago "KO" Brown. It's a bit tricky to find information about him on the Internet, as a lightweight boxer named Valentine Brown (or Braun), who fought during the same period, was also often referred to in the sporting press as KO Brown or Knockout Brown, and the same nicknames were later applied to other boxers. George "KO" Brown does have a bout list at BoxRec. Among his opponents in the ring was Mike Gibbons, who is seen in this photo from the Bain collection.

Jess Westergaard (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    In the news in January, 1913: Jess Westergaard (also known as Jess Reimer) defeated Henry Ordemann in Minneapolis on January 7, 1913, and claimed the world's heavyweight wrestling title. A week later, he announced that he would become a boxer and defeat Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship in that sport. (Of course, he never did.)
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan: Thanks for the additional information on Mr. Westergaard. We will add to the record when we update. On a related note, there is another image of Mr. Westergaard in his street clothes in the Bain Collection here.
  • Kimberly Perrin Young said:
    I am a decendant of Jess's.I believe he was my great great uncle. I have a book with all the wrestlers listed in it and his little black address book. This is the first info I have found on him besides what was past down through the family.
