Nate Druxman (1892 – 1969) was a boxing promoter in Seattle, Washington. He arranged fights at various venues around Seattle. Gambling and professional fights were barred for a time, so he arranged sparring matches and club fights.
He was named Nate Druxinman until he changed his name.[1]
The state legislature of Washington outlawed gambling on horse races and prize fighting in 1909.[2] Druxman had a foray into ice hockey with the Pacific Coast Hockey League's Seattle Eskimos and helped build an arena, but sold his interest.[3][4] He promoted boxing matches until 1942.[3] He promoted the Zale v. Hostak and Steele v. Hostak fights.[5]
He acquired the Dunn Residence in Montlake.[6]
In 1937, editorial cartoonist Sam Groff depicted him along with other sports figures including Hec Edmundson and Al Ulbrickson with what they might want for Christmas.[7] His sons were photographed with Jack Dempsey in 1931.[8] The Museum of History and Industry in Seattle has a collection of photographs and ephemera related to his career.[9]
Ed Druxman was his son.[10] His nephew Michael B. Druxman has written books about his life in Hollywood's tinseltown. He described Druxman as getting into the realtor business after being a promoter.[11]
