Moe 'Montgomery' Hart Herscovitch (27 October 1897 – 22 July 1969) who after taking up boxing during his WWI Canadian Army service with considerable success, won a bronze medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics for Canada in Antwerp as a Middleweight. Hersovitch began his athletic career in 1913 as a prominent rugby player at fullback or flying wing for the Montreal Football Club, of the Inter-Provincial Rugby Union. After the Olympics, around 1921, he began in earnest a successful, and lucrative but relatively brief professional boxing career as a middleweight, which ended around 1924. He would later coach boxing and rugby and serve as an insurance broker beginning around 1924, later establishing his own company, Herscovitch and Sons in Montreal.
