Austin Rice
Austin Rice (December 25, 1872 – January 17, 1921) was a New London boxer who became a Featherweight Title contender on January 14, 1903, when he faced featherweight champion Young Corbett II in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Though he lost the fight, he went toe to toe with a world class competitor for eighteen rounds. Though never winning a world title, Rice fought boxing champions Joe Bernstein, Benny Yanger, George Dixon, and Terry McGovern. Of these opponents, Bernstein and Yanger were top Featherweight contenders and Dixon and McGovern were Featherweight champions. Rice defeated Dixon in a twenty round match in New London. ==Early life== Rice was born in Waterford, Connecticut, a suburb of New London, on December 25, 1872. He may have shared Tony Nelson as a boxing coach in his youth with fellow New London boxers Mosey King, an early New England Lightweight Champion and Abe Hollandersky, a welterweight, and 1913 Panamanian Heavyweight champion.〔Donahue, Thomas E., "Ins and Outs of Sport's World", ''The Day'', pg. 23, New London, CT., 17 September 1935.〕〔"Austin Rice, Dean of Connecticut Fighters", ''Bridgeport Herald'', pg. 2, Bridgeport, CT., 29 November 1903.〕 Rice got his start in boxing while drilling as a Waterford militiaman. He did some amateur bouts in New London while stationed there. One of his early boxing friends and sparring partners, Jim Gaffney, of New London, later became an important figure in the New London Police Department as well as a boxing manager. Another early opponent was Eddie Gallagher of New York. Martin and Joe Flaherty of New London worked as early managers for Rice.〔
