Answers
Answer:
Albert Foreman was born in London, England on 3 November 1904.[1]
He was orphaned at four years of age, and for ten years lived in an orphanage, the Hayes School for Jewish Boys in Middlesex on the outskirts of London. At fourteen, he ran away from the orphanage and attempted to join the Army in the midst of WWI. Too young for combat, the Army allowed him to join the famous Black Watch infantry regiment in a non-combat role as a drummer boy, after he obtained his orphanage's permission. When the war immediately ended, Foreman was reassigned to occupation duty in Germany. He began boxing for the British Army with considerable success.[5]
In his early career he scored an impressive record of 40 wins, 12 losses, and 7 draws, with 30 wins by knockout.[5] During his early career in England, he often fought under the name Bert "Kid" Harris.[2]
In 1924, Foreman moved to Canada from Great Britain, where in time he gained citizenship. He lived intermittently in Montreal during the next ten years of his boxing career, but settled there after his retirement from boxing in 1934. His years of boxing in the United States allowed him to hone his skills against some of the greatest boxers of the era.[5]
Boxing for the US Army
Around late 1924–26, Foreman fought for the United States Army during a two-year hitch, eventually winning the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps Featherweight Championship.[2][6] During this period, though continuing to fight professionally, he fought exclusively in the United States, boxing several matches at Fort Myers in Virginia where he was probably stationed, and the Barracks in Washington, D. C. While boxing for the Army, he amassed an impressive record of wins with a high percentage of knockouts. Foreman remained boxing in the United States roughly through 1928.
Showing strong punching throughout the fight on 1 January 1927, Foreman defeated Carl Tremaine in Philadelphia in a ninth round disqualification. For the first nine rounds, Foreman had the best of the battle, finally winning the decision when Tremaine struck low, despite the referee's prior warnings to raise his punching. Tremaine was saved from a knockout in the third round only by the closing bell, when Foreman tagged him with a right cross that buckled his knees.[7] The win focused more attention on Foreman as a likely candidate for the featherweight or junior lightweight title.[8]
On 24 January 1927, released form his Army service, Foreman faced former world junior-lightweight champion Mike Ballerino at the arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, impressively winning the close bout in a ten-round points decision. Foreman fought the bout at only 126, as a featherweight, against a heavier 133 pound lightweight Ballerino. Foreman used his right repeatedly on Ballerino, who with an effective defense withstood the blows of his opponent, but noticeably showed the effects of Foreman's punches in the first round. Ballerino fought cautiously until the tenth, when letting down his guard, he was again staggered by the blows of Foreman.[9]
