Fair Use License Rationale: This is a photo of Hotstak taken roughly around 1940. It will be used once to identify him in the Wiki article that bears his name, Al Hostak. Hostak is deceased, and the photo is no longer used for promotion. As this will be the only photograph identifying the boxer, and it is essential for identifying Hostak for educational purposes, and to mark his role as a World Middleweight champion, it will be used in this article to identify him as it satisfies the fair use rationale for a non-free image.

It will also be used once to identify Hostak as the boxer who defeated 'Solly Krieger to retake the World Middleweight Title on June 27, 1939 in the Wiki article entitled Solly Krieger. As this event was the most important of Hostak's life as a boxer, an identification of him seems warranted as the most significant historical event of his life.
