Dave Palitz (January 1, 1891 – November 17, 1940) was a Welterweight boxer who competed for the Connecticut Welterweight Championship against Lou Bogash on April 26, 1920, at Casino Hall in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Though he lost the 12 round bout, Palitz was an exceptional boxer in his own right. He fought Jeff Doherty, Bunny Ford, Terry Mitchell, and Jack Britton. Doherty and Ford were regional lightweight champions while Mitchell was a boxer of such caliber that he once defeated 1906 World Welterweight Champion William "Honey" Melody. Britton held the World Welterweight championship for over four years during Palitz's career.[1]
