  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Last of the Bare-Knuckles Dow Jones & Company’s issuance of hand-delivered short news briefs (called “flimsies”) to stock traders culminated in the publication of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, July 8, 1889 (Price Two Cents), and New Orleans made the first page of the very first issue, 125 years ago. It all had to do with a highly anticipated prize fight. THE JOURNAL bulletins attempted to provide any updates on the Jake Kilrain vs. John L. Sullivan fight. Bare-knuckle fighting was illegal in all of the existing thirty-eight states, and (although New Orleans was at the vortex of this pugilistic whirlwind) Governor Francis T. Nicholls had forbidden the fight in Louisiana and had activated the state militia to prevent it. Governor Robert Lowry of Mississippi had taken similar measures. Where the bout was to be fought was shrouded in secrecy, unrevealed until the train leaving New Orleans deposited a multitude of enthusiastic fightgoers at the clandestinely arranged location. An earlier announcement (January 12, 1889) in the New Orleans Weekly Pelican heralded the upcoming contest. The confrontation between Kilrain and Sullivan is considered to be a turning point in boxing history, being the last world title bout fought under the London Prize Ring Rules and therefore the last bare-knuckle heavyweight title bout. No gloves were worn and some wrestling moves were permitted. A round concluded when one fighter was knocked down, and the fight lasted until one contestant was unable to get up off the ring floor.

  • Championship in Kenner
    Championship in Kenner New Orleans has played a significant role in its contribution to the history of the sport of boxing, especially in its early years. Figuring prominently in that history were three John L. Sullivan fights. On February 6, 1882, Sullivan and Paddy Ryan arrived in New Orleans for a bare-knuckle championship match-up. Governor Lowry of Mississippi tried to stop the contest, which was illegal, but it was fought in Mississippi City on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in a grove of live oaks. Sullivan was the victor, and it was the final time the championship would be won (as opposed to defended) in a bare-knuckle fight. “Boston Strong Boy, John L. Sullivan vs. “Gentleman Jim” Corbett The John L. Sullivan – Jake Kilrain fight on July 8, 1889, was one that Sullivan defended and won. It was the last world title bout fought under the London Prize Ring Rules, or – in other words – the last bare- knuckle heavyweight title bout. Since Governor Francis T. Nicholls of Louisiana had forbidden the fight in the state, special trains left New Orleans for the secret location, which turned out to be Richburg, a town just south of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It was one of the first sporting events in the United States to receive extensive national press coverage. A good deal of the pre-fight coverage speculated on just where the bout would take place. And the first world heavyweight championship bout under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules was Sullivan vs. ―Gentleman Jim‖ Corbett, who defeated Sullivan on September 7, 1892, at the Olympic Club in what is today known as the New Orleans Bywater.

  • John L. Sullivan & the Making of an Irish-American Sporting Legend By
    Published by Century Ireland, March 2018 John L. Sullivan & the Making of an Irish-American Sporting Legend By Mark Duncan Mike Tyson idolised him. Knew his story, admired his ring-craft, his chutzpah. 'I like his confidence, his arrogance,' he remarked to a reporter from The New York Times more than 70 years after the man himself had died. ‘I like the way he used to say 'I can beat any man in the house’.’1 Before his career spiralled into the disgrace of a rape conviction in the early 1990s, Tyson revelled in his reputation as the most fierce-some fighter in the boxing game, but he delighted, too, in demonstrating his schooling, courtesy of his first tutor-trainer Cus D’Amato, in the sport’s rich history and often troublesome traditions. And John Lawrence Sullivan, Tyson rightly understood, had laid the foundations upon which those very traditions had been built. The son of a Kerry father and a Roscommon mother, Sullivan was a Boston-born brawler whose extraordinary career straddled the eras of bare-knuckle and gloved boxing. Indeed, long before the names of Marciano, Patterson, Ali, Frazier, Foreman or, for that matter, Tyson, had been stitched into the popular consciousness, that of John L. Sullivan was inseparable from that of the sport he done so much to both create and render respectable. In the late 19th century, Sullivan’s dominance of the ring was absolute and, helped by canny management and an obsessive press, he found himself catapulted into a realm of sporting celebrity that had been previously unknown.
