Born in Brooklyn, Feldman began his professional career in the summer of 1926 with a series of bouts at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, winning all three of his fights there. He then fought a number of bouts in the New York area before making his debut at Madison Square Garden in January 1928, a four-round decision over Alfred Siki. Over the next couple of years, Feldman fought in the New York area, Philadelphia, Detroit, and even Portland (Oregon), but never returned to the Garden.

In 1929 and 1930, he fought almost exclusively on the West Coast of the U.S., including a bout against fellow Jewish boxer 'Slapsie' Maxie Rosenbloom in July 1929 in Hoquiam, Washington. Feldman lost a six-round decision. In 1931, Feldman returned to the east and fought a few fights in the New York-New Jersey area before finishing his career with a bout against top light-heavyweight contender Al McCoy in November 1934 in Lynn, Massachusetts - Feldman was knocked out in the fifth-round.
