Four-bout title fight series with hard-hitting Sandy Saddler among the sport’s most vicious rivalries and saw Pep become a two-time world champion.

One of the most beloved little fighters of all time and an idol to millions of Jewish people in his era. Tendler fight drew 60,000 fans to Yankee Stadium. Would have won the welterweight championship had he not been disqualified. Engaged in 25 bouts against Hall of Famers and world champions. Only stopped twice in 215 fights.
