Jack Hassen (25 January 1924 – 8 December 2002) was an Australian Aboriginal boxer, and won the Australian Lightweight Championship in 1949.[1] In various historical sources Hassen was also known as Jack Friday, but in 2011 his family asserted that he never identified as Jack Friday and that Friday was actually a corruption of his father's first name, Friday Mackay.[2][3] He was inducted into the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005.[4]
