After retiring from boxing around 1924, Burman ran a popular custom men's clothing store in Chicago's Loop district. In 1928, he was back in the newspapers when he was shot in the leg in Chicago's Davis hotel and could not tell police who shot him or why. He worked as a matchmaker and promoter at Chicago's Marigold Gardens in the early 1950s before later moving to the west coast around 1959. After working as a liquor salesman in Los Angeles, Burman died there on April 8, 1979, after a long bout with liver cancer. Services were held at Hillside Memorial on April 10, in Culver City, California. Professional boxing record All information in this section is derived from BoxRec, unless otherwise stated.
