}}
Paul Henry Prehn (September 5, 1892 – May 7, 1973) was a wrestler from Mason City, Iowa, in the early part of the 20th century. He served in the Iowa National Guard during the Border War (1910–19) (as a hand to hand combat instructor). In 1919, Prehn won the middleweight gold medal at the Inter-Allied Games held in Paris at the Pershing Stadium.〔("A Snapshot of Wrestling History" ) Legacyofwrestling.com. Updated March 1, 2010.〕 From 1920 to 1928, Prehn was the head wrestling coach at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign winning 7 out of 9 Big 10 Championships, and ending with a Win/Loss record: 42-5-0 (a record which remains the highest win percentage for any wrestling coach in the history of the University of Illinois). Prehn was a member of the Illinois State Athletic Commission (later elected Chairman on January 3, 1928) and also Ring Commissioner for The Long Count Fight between Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey at Soldier Field (September 22, 1927). On October 27, 1928, Prehn was elected President of the National Boxing Association (now known as the World Boxing Association). Prehn also authored Scientific Methods of Wrestling in 1925 (which is still in print today).〔''The Globe Gazette''. "They Started Here". Mason City, Iowa February 18, 1941, Page 16.
