George "Kid" Ashe fought Hall Of Famers Jack Dillon and Harry Greb . His full name was Abraham Rivkind, also known as "Kid" Ashe or "Young" Ashe. Born in 1894 he would have been 16 or 17 when he started. This may account for the "kid" or "young" nickname. His fighting career was from 1911 to 1922.

He had approx. 150 fights. He was in the army in 1917-1918 where he did receive a medal for boxing, under the name of Abraham Rivkind. The Ring Record book sometimes lists him under the name Abraham Rivkind. Other times he is listed as George Ashe, Kid Ashe or george Kid Ashe. .
