He is one of only two boxers who are recognized to have fought over 200 bouts and never been knocked out or stopped, along with Benny Valgar.[1] He was inducted into the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame in 2013 as an honorary international for making a major contribution to Australian boxing.[2] Stone fought primarily in the lightweight class, but also competed in the welterweight and middleweight divisions. He briefly held the Australian lightweight title as well as the Australian welterweight title. He amassed over 500 bouts throughout his career, and claimed to have never been knocked out or knocked down in any of them.[3][4] Early life and backgroundStone was born Harry Seifstein to Jewish parents in New York City. He grew up in the Bowery and his family was living in poverty during his youth.[5][6] In need of money, Stone began working as a newspaper boy in the Bowery at the age of 11, and later sold papers in the Tenderloin district as well. When Stone started this job, he could only speak Yiddish. Other newspaper boys called him "Kid Starr" because they could not pronounce his last name of Seifstein. Harry's boss incorrectly transcribed his name as Stone instead of Starr, leading to him deciding to keep that as his last name.[7][8] Professional careerStone won the Australian welterweight title in 1920 against Fred Kay.[8] Stone won the Australian lightweight title in 1921 against Welshman Llew Edwards. He lost the title later that year against Sid Godfrey.[3] Stone's nickname of "Hop Harry" originated from a fight against Tommy Uren in which he employed a hopping motion that resemble the movement of a kangaroo. He would become known for using this technique in his subsequent fights.[9] Personal lifeStone fought in World War I, and was falsely reported dead during the war.[5] Stone had two sons, including an elder son named Max who had a career as an amateur boxer.[5][10] His son was in consideration to represent Australian boxing at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but was not selected.[11] References1. ^{{cite book |last1=Silver |first1=Mike |title=Stars in the Ring: Jewish Champions in the Golden Age of Boxing: A Photographic History |date=Mar 4, 2016 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=9781630761400 |pages=346}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=Honorary Internationals |url=http://www.anbhof.com/internationals.html |website=Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame |accessdate=8 December 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |title=Famous boxer dies in Sydney; Hop Harry Stone Idol |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/49577803 |accessdate=8 December 2018 |work=Barrier Miner |date=December 14, 1950}} 4. ^{{cite news |last1=Stone |first1=Harry |title=The Freak of the Ring |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/54813016 |accessdate=8 December 2018 |work=The Mail |date=February 12, 1938}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Mathers |first1=Jim |title=The boxer who learned from the kangaroo |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/167969527 |accessdate=8 December 2018 |work=Truth |date=August 19, 1951}} 6. ^{{cite news |last1=Rohan |first1=J.
