Was Ernest Hemingway a bare knuckle fighter?

Answer 1

Not as such, no. But he was an enthusiastic fan of boxing, and wrote in his memoirs of 1920s Paris, 'A moveable feast', of his attempts in teaching Ezra Pound how to fight. In his prose he describes fights of all kinds - from boxing to bullfighting with considerable knowledge of the subject, and this is also reflected in his writing style; clipped and disciplined.

Answer 2

There is no evidence to suggest that Ernest Hemingway was a bare knuckle fighter. Hemingway was known for his adventurous lifestyle and love of outdoor activities such as bullfighting and big-game hunting, but there is no documented record of him participating in bare knuckle fighting.
