Many guys punched Harry Houdini, it was a common Houdini stunt that he frequently invited people to do to demonstrate how he could not be hurt. Nothing happened to any of them as Houdini wanted them to punch him.
If you mean the guy that caught Houdini by surprise before he could prepare as he needed to for this to prevent injury, probably contributing to the ruptured appendix that killed Houdini a couple weeks later - nothing. He likely suffered from self imposed guilt though.
Remember, Harry Houdini's act involved inviting punishment and potential injury and appearing to be unaffected!

Did Harry Houdini really say anything about a man named Mordecai Zymytryk?
The movie "The chair" was started by a quote from Harry Houdini, back in 1921, about some guy named Mordecai Zymytryk and how his powers "baffle and haunt" him, you just might have something there. Of course, you're also setting the bar just spectacularly high. Your movie, basically, is about some guy whose powers are so allegedly amazing that Harry Houdini HIMSELF is baffled and haunted by it. Therefore, the rest of us poor schlubs should be left absolutely dumbfounded and terrified.
Did the guy who punched Harry Houdini get executed?
Jocelyn Gordon Whitehead (died 1954) is infamous as the man who sucker-punched magician Harry Houdini in the stomach on October 22 1926. Despite popular belief, the appendicitis and not the blow was the cause of Houdini's death -- although the pain inflicted by the blows may have masked the pain of the appendicitis, preventing the performer from seeking treatment until nine days later. At the time of this incident, Whitehead had been a McGill University student in Montreal. Despite the fact that there were witnesses to the event, Whitehead was never arrested. He himself had to submit an affidavit to the New York Life Insurance Company, who needed proof of the incident in order for Houdini's widow, Bess Houdini, to collect money under the double indemnity clause. Whitehead remained obscure, until writer Don Bell began his own investigation into Houdini's death. His findings were published in the 2004 book "The Man Who Killed Houdini", in which the only known photograph of Whitehead exists. Through interviews with people who knew Whitehead, Bell established that Whitehead lived a life of failure and pathos, despite having attended the prestigious McGill University. Whitehead died of malnutrition in 1954. He is buried in the Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal.
Did Houdini die of a trick?
Houdini used to do this act where he would flex his muscles and he would get someone from the audience to come and punch him. Well after one of his shows a guy surprised him and punched him in the stomach without him flexing. Houdini was severely winded but recovered enough to offer to repeat the attempt; the punch bounced off his flexed muscles. However, later Houdini was taken ill and later died of a burst appendix.
