About this person
Hersovitch began his athletic career in 1913 as a prominent rugby player at fullback or flying wing for the Montreal Football Club, of the Inter-Provincial Rugby Union. After the Olympics, around 1921, he began in earnest a successful, and lucrative but relatively brief professional boxing career as a middleweight, which ended around 1924. He would later coach boxing and rugby and serve as an insurance broker beginning around 1924, later establishing his own company, Herscovitch and Sons in Montreal.
