Freddie Welsh (born Frederick Hall Thomas; 5 March 1886 – 29 July 1927) was a <a href="/wiki/List_of_Welsh_boxing_world_champions" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Welsh boxing world

The lightweight boxer was born in <a href="/wiki/Pontypridd" title="Pontypridd">Pontypridd</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wales" title="Wales">Wales</a>, nicknamed the "Welsh Wizard". Brought up in a tough mining community, Welsh left a working-class background to make a name for himself in America. He turned professional as a boxer in <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a> in 1905, and spent the best part of his career fighting in the United States. Welsh spent much of his career chasing the world championship title, held in turn by <a href="/wiki/Battling_Nelson" title="Battling Nelson">Battling Nelson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ad_Wolgast" title="Ad Wolgast">Ad Wolgast</a> and <a href="/wiki/Willie_Ritchie" title="Willie Ritchie">Willie Ritchie</a>, failing through a series of events to meet each until a successful encounter with Ritchie in July 1914, when he finally became world lightweight champion. Welsh held the title until 1917 when he lost to <a href="/wiki/Benny_Leonard" title="Benny Leonard">Benny Leonard</a>, though he continued to fight sparingly until 1922. During his career, he fought in more than 160 professional bouts, suffering defeat on just 5 occasions. A keen follower of <a href="/wiki/Bernarr_Macfadden" title="Bernarr Macfadden">Bernarr Macfadden</a>'s physical culture, Welsh believed in exercise and healthy living and was a non-smoker and a vegetarian.

Rivers started as favourite, but his inexperience showed and Welsh dominated the entire fight winning on points.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore193-111">[111]</a> After the fight, at a celebratory dinner, Welsh was shown a newspaper reporting King <a href="/wiki/George_V" title="George V">George V</a>'s enthusiasm for boxing.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore193-111">[111]</a> Welsh wrote to His Majesty thanking him for his support, the next day he received a royal response by telegram.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore193-111">[111]</a> Nearly every major newspaper in the United States and the United Kingdom printed the correspondence in full, giving Welsh much needed column space.<a href="#cite_note-112">[112]</a> In the spring of 1914, Welsh contacted Ritchie and asked him if he would face him in England, providing he got a satisfactory guarantee of money.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore200-113">[113]</a> Ritchie agreed that he would fight for the right money. Welsh cabled the <a href="/wiki/Olympia_London" title="Olympia London">Olympia Theatre, London</a>, and began booking advertising space.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore201-114">[114]</a> When Ritchie finally stated that he wanted $50,000, win lose or draw, Welsh said the price "would make a horse laugh", and was double what he was expecting.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore201-114">[114]</a> Despite this huge fee, England was desperate for a world champion and $40,000 was raised on the stipulation that Ritchie fought no other bouts in the meantime.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore202-115">[115]</a> Ritchie accepted the $40,000 but stated a fight was already planned and he would fight who he liked.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore202-115">[115]</a> The London syndicate relented to his demands.

As long as he was on his feet at the end of the ten rounds, he could not lose his title. Still, Welsh wanted to show he was not going to choose soft opposition and began a series of bouts against serious contenders.<a href="#cite_note-125">[125]</a> His first defence was against Matty Baldwin on 27 October in Boston, a match he won on points.<a href="#cite_note-Boxrec1-103">[103]</a> This was followed six days later by a contest against Al Wolgast, the former champion who had avoided Welsh when he had the title to lose.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore232-126">[126]</a> The fight was a near sell out at <a href="/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden" title="Madison Square Garden">Madison Square Garden</a> in New York, with the crowd firmly behind Wolgast.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore232-126">[126]</a> Although the first few rounds were fairly even between the two fighters, at the end of the fifth round Wolgast blocked an uppercut with his right arm.

Wolgast kept on fighting but could not continue after the eighth.<a href="#cite_note-127">[127]</a> A week later Welsh faced Charley White, the man most sports-writers believed was the natural contender for the lightweight title.

Before he lost to Leonard in 1917, Welsh bought a farm on Long Hill in <a href="/wiki/Chatham_Township,_New_Jersey" title="Chatham Township, New Jersey">Chatham Township, New Jersey</a>.<a href="#cite_note-132">[132]</a> The farm was set in 162 acres (0.66 km2) and Welsh spent thousands of dollars on improvements, installing a gymnasium, a state of the art kitchen, golf course, tennis courts and a swimming pool.<a href="#cite_note-133">[133]</a> His idea was to turn it into a health spa, and on 11 August 1917 a host of celebrities and dignitaries were invited to its opening. One of the guests, <a href="/wiki/Bat_Masterson" title="Bat Masterson">Bat Masterson</a>, described Long Hill as a 'palatial home sitting high upon a hill, like an acropolis'.<a href="#cite_note-134">[134]</a> Welsh found Long Hill a poor distraction and thought of joining the British forces, but was persuaded out of the idea by Fanny.<a href="#cite_note-135">[135]</a> Instead he joined the United States Army, serving as a <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant" title="Lieutenant">lieutenant</a> and was consigned to the <a href="/wiki/Walter_Reed_Army_Medical_Center" title="Walter Reed Army Medical Center">Walter Reed Hospital</a> where he helped rehabilitate disabled veterans.<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a> In 1918 Welsh was struggling with Long Hill and decided he wanted rid of it. Welsh had spent $150,000 on Long Hill, his entire life's earnings, and he placed it on the market for $20,000 cash as his business was close to collapse. He was still unable to find a buyer. Welsh's dream was to earn and run a health farm, held since his first days in America; now with his dream in tatters his life began to disintegrate. On 11 October 1919, Welsh was the only diner in a restaurant on 50th and Broadway, when by coincidence Harry Pollok walked in.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore315-137">[137]</a> The men became violent, and a fight ensued which ended with Pollok being rushed to the Polyclinic Hospital with half his right ear in an ice bucket.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore315-137">[137]</a> Pollok swore out a warrant against Welsh who was arrested upon complaint that he had bitten his former manager's ear in half.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore315-137">[137]</a> Welsh denied the charges and after Pollok failed to appear to press the charge for a third time, the case was dismissed.<a href="#cite_note-138">[138]</a> In 1920 he was discharged from his duties at Walter Reed Hospital having reached the rank of captain. He returned to Long Hill, and with his money dwindling made the decision to return to the ring. After six months of preparation he faced 'Kid' Green on 28 December 1920.<a href="#cite_note-139">[139]</a> Despite the three-and-a-half-year absence from the ring, Welsh was in good shape and took only four rounds to beat Green;<a href="#cite_note-Boxrec1-103">[103]</a> though he had switched his trademark defensive boxing to a heavier brawling style.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore319-140">[140]</a> Welsh then fought twice in May 1921, against Willie Jackson and Kid Murphy, both wins; but the most notable event regarding the bouts was the appearance of heavyweight champion <a href="/wiki/Jack_Dempsey" title="Jack Dempsey">Jack Dempsey</a>, who was spending time relaxing at Welsh's health farm.<a href="#cite_note-141">[141]</a> After two more fights in 1921, both in Canada, Welsh returned to New York to face Archie Walker in April 1922.<a href="#cite_note-Boxrec1-103">[103]</a> The fight was a sporting disaster for Welsh, losing seven of the ten rounds, and by the tenth he was being chased around the ring as he covered himself up.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore323-142">[142]</a> It was a pitiful display and Welsh never stepped into a professional ring again.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore323-142">[142]</a> By 1923, during <a href="/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States" title="Prohibition in the United States">Prohibition</a>, Long Hill was attracting more guests for its supply of home-brewed ciders and beers than its sporting facilities.<a href="#cite_note-143">[143]</a> While in 1924, through their mutual acquaintance of <a href="/wiki/Ring_Lardner" title="Ring Lardner">Ring Lardner</a>, <a href="/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald" title="F.

While in the forces he placed an advertisement for a manager to run Long Hill, which was accepted by neighbour and friend, Sidky Bey, and his wife Hranoush, known as <a href="/wiki/Madame_Bey" title="Madame Bey">Madame Bey</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore_2006,_p._333-146">[146]</a><a href="#cite_note-147">[147]</a> With strict curfew hours and a no-alcohol policy, Madame Bey made the farm a success, and Long Hill became an important training venue for New York boxers.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore_2006,_p._333-146">[146]</a> But her tenure at the farm ended acrimoniously, over an argument with boxer <a href="/wiki/Battling_Siki" title="Battling Siki">Battling Siki</a>, who Welsh believed to be a bad influence.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore335-148">[148]</a> After discussing the matter with other boxers, Madame Bey left Long Hill and set up her own rival venue.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore335-148">[148]</a> With Welsh in the Army and Madame Bey gone, the farm fell into disrepair. Bey later recalled Welsh fondly, stating that he was a man who enjoyed having a good time, but was a terrible businessman.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore335-148">[148]</a> In 1927, with Welsh unable to raise the capital to pay the mortgage on his Long Hill estate, the farm was sold to satisfy a mortgage of $30,000 even though it was valued at $150,000.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore339-149">[149]</a> With Long Hill lost, Fanny and Welsh separated, Fanny taking a job as a live-in housekeeper at the St Paul's Hotel on 60th Street, New York, a venue where she and Welsh once lived in a suite of apartments.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore339-149">[149]</a> Soon after, Welsh's health began to deteriorate and he began complaining of severe chest pains.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore339-149">[149]</a> His doctor reported that Welsh was depressed and was drinking too much.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore339-149">[149]</a> On 17 July 1927 Welsh appeared at the West Side Court in New York City, sporting a black-eye suffered in a street brawl.<a href="#cite_note-150">[150]</a> He faced a charge of disorderly conduct, after he came off worse in a drunken encounter with Edward Delaney of New York. The patrolman who saved Welsh from a serious beating assured the magistrate that it was a friendly fight and the charges were dismissed against both men.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore341-151">[151]</a> On 28 July 1927 a maid at Hotel Sidney, discovered Welsh laid face downward in his pyjamas and bathrobe.<a href="#cite_note-Gallimore341-151">[151]</a> He had died in the night.

Welsh had a history of boxing in his family, with his paternal grandfather being a mountain fighter.<a href="#cite_note-Welsh_Wonder-157">[157]</a> Although Welsh is often criticised throughout his career as being unable to knock out his opponents, his style centred on his footwork and ability to avoid punishment. He was calm, elusive and able to frustrate those who faced him, especially heavy hitters.<a href="#cite_note-158">[158]</a> Welsh would often finish long fights without injury, while his opponents suffered heavy damage, and was described as "essentially a long-distance fighter".<a href="#cite_note-159">[159]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Vegetarianism">Vegetarianism</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Freddie_Welsh&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Vegetarianism">edit</a>]</div> Welsh, when talking to the press, always stated that he was a vegetarian.<a href="#cite_note-Welsh_Wonder-157">[157]</a> This was always received with a mixture of interest and jest from his opponent and the journalists. Welsh was a vegetarian for its health values, inspired by the writings of Bernarr Macfadden, and showed no interest in animal welfare. When Welsh beat Phil Brock, he received a telegram from Macfadden stating 'Mr. Welsh - Dear Sir: Hope you will go through the whole bunch of meat eaters'.<a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a> Although he preached the benefits of vegetarianism, he was not averse to eating meat if required. In an interview Welsh once stated, "I don't believe in a variety of cooked dishes. I eat as much raw food as possible, and this second meal consists of all sorts of vegetables, and for the main dish I have a macaroni and cheese, followed by fruit and nuts and a little rice or tapioca pudding.
