Jack Hurley (December 9, 1897 – November 16, 1972) was an American boxing promoter.
Working in boxing for over 50 years, he was well known and appreciated both in the sport and by journalists, although he never managed a champion.
After serving in France during World War I, he tried boxing, but found he was better suited for managing and promoting fighters.
As the first fight between an amateur and a world champion, it drew attention, controversy and money.
[3][4][5] Hurley conveyed honesty in a sport where "a certain amount of dishonesty is not only expected but also demanded".
