Best Answer

He didn't. He was Lester Townes Hope when he arrived in the U.S., and used that name for many years after he became a full U.S. citizen. As an entertainer, he later changed his name to "Bob", saying, in his own words: "I wanted a 'Hiya fellas!' sounding first name". He also, early in his career, briefly boxed under the name "Packy East".
