Andre Anderson (1890 in Chicago, Illinois – April 1, 1926) was an American boxer from 1915 until his death in 1926. He was best known for knocking down and fighting the World Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey to an official no decision (newspaper loss) on 24 June 1916 in a match held in the Bronx, New York.
It was alleged that Anderson would take dives for organized crime gamblers, which led to his shooting death, reportedly after refusing to partake in further bribes.
