Al Davis (boxer)

Al "Bummy" Davis (born January 26, 1920, New York, N.Y. – died November 21, 1945, Brooklyn, N.Y.), born Albert Abraham Davidoff, was an American lightweight and welterweight boxer who fought from 1937 to 1945.
==Childhood==

Davis grew up in the rough and tough, then-predominantly Jewish Brownsville section of Brooklyn. His father owned a candy store during the 1920s, Prohibition days. Davis' job, as a young boy, was to keep lookout for the police and give the alert to his father to hide bottles of whiskey being sold on the sly.
Davis developed into a tough, street-smart young man, and became well known in a neighborhood that was famed as the home of Murder Incorporated. His two brothers were affiliated with the notorious gang, acting as collectors. However, because of Al's toughness and fierce independence, he was able to steer clear of the temptations of the mobster life and concentrate on his boxing instead. In fact, he was one of the few young men in the neighborhood who was unafraid to stand up to feared local hoodlums like Abe Reles.
His mother called him "Vroomeleh," an affectionate diminutive of his Hebrew name, Avrum (Hebrew for his middle name, Abraham), and he was known to friends and family in his neighborhood as "Vroomy." When Al was a teenager, a boxing promoter convinced him to change his nickname to "Bummy;" the promoter felt that it sounded tougher and would draw a larger crowd. Davis originally objected to his boxing name.
