Young Dutchy

Frederick Hansted (1853 – 21 November 1911), known as Young Dutchy, was an English-born boxer who fought in Australia and the United States.

Upon landing in San Francisco, Dutchy quickly made himself useful in local boxing circles as a capable referee and exponent of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.

Despite that encomium, he was arrested, along with three other participants in a November 1883 bout, on charges of conducting a prizefight, which was illegal there at the time.

A trial later that winter saw Dutchy and colleagues go free, and he continued to be active in the boxing venues of late 19th century San Francisco, including the sporting houses of Harry Maynard, Jack Hallinan and Clarence Whistler.

Dutchy later went to Alaska, probably to escape a criminal indictment for defrauding someone's estate, and was a boxing instructor in Fairbanks.
