  • Name: Jack Sharkey Career Record: Click Alias: Boston Gob Birth Name
    Name: Jack Sharkey Career Record: click Alias: Boston Gob Birth Name: Joseph Paul Zukauskas Nationality: US American Birthplace: Binghamton, NY Hometown: Boston, MA Born: 1902-10-06 Died: 1994-08-17 Age at Death: 91 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6′ 0″ Reach: 72 inches Division: Heavyweight Trainer: Tony Polazzolo Manager: Johnny Buckley Annotated Fight Record Photo (with megaphone) Biography Overview A fast and well-schooled fighter with no lack of heart and determination, Jack Sharkey is nonetheless overshadowed by the other heavyweight champions of his era. Sharkey’s indefatigable willingness to fight any opponent is best illustrated by his distinction in being the only man to have faced both Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis in prizefights. Though he consistently fought the best, Jack did not always win when up against the true upper crust of the division. In fact, his finest performances are perhaps his losses to Dempsey and Max Schmeling. Outspoken about his own confidence in his abilities and often surly or uncooperative in business, Jack had the talent to back up his ego. He remained a constant presence at or near the top of the heavyweight division for nearly a decade and solidified in his place in boxing lore by becoming heavyweight champion. Early Years Born Joseph Paul Zukauskas, the son of Lithuanian immigrants, Sharkey was born in Binghamton, New York but moved to Boston, Massachusetts as a young man. Sources report little of his early life until, at the outset of the First World War, teenaged Joseph repeatedly tried to enlist in the Navy. Turned down because of his age, he was not able to enlist until after the end of the war.

  • The Brown Bomber Battles Hitler's Favorite Fighter
    GreatMomentsinSports_v14_toprint 04/02/12 The Brown Bomber Battles Hitler’s Favorite Fighter Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali was famous for loudly proclaiming, “I am the greatest.” Yet even Ali would probably agree that there was one fighter who was at least his equal, if not even greater. That man was known as the Brown Bomber—world heavyweight champion Joe Louis. 1 GreatMomentsinSports_v14_toprint 04/02/12 2 RUTH ROUFF Joe Louis was not exactly a natural at boxing. As a teenager in Detroit in 1932, he was knocked down seven times in his first amateur fight. But his family was very poor, and he dreamed of making enough money to lift them all out of poverty. So he kept training and soon started winning. Noticing his raw power, two fight managers took him to see a veteran trainer, Jack Blackburn. Although Blackburn was himself black, he preferred to work with white fighters. There were two reasons for this. One was that in the 1930s it was much easier for whites to get a shot at title fights. This was partly a white reaction to black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, the title-holder from 1908–1915. At a time when blacks were supposed to “know their place,” Johnson went out of his way to anger whites. He humiliated his opponents. He loved to show off his money by spending it on flashy clothes, fast cars, and the late-night bar scene. Worst of all, he paraded around with white women on his arm. Some might say that Johnson was simply being himself. That was certainly true.

  • Primo Carnera
    From The Website alyHeritage ➩ Primo Carnera https://www.italyheritage.com/great-italians/sport/primo-carnera.htm Primo Carnera Primo Carnera (Sequals, October 25, 1906 - Sequals, June 29, 1967), was the world heavyweight champion from 29 June 1933 to 14 June 1934. For his physical strength, his personal qualities, his life, he is forever imprinted in the history of the boxing world, and has become a legend internationally. Primo Carnera was born in Sequals, a village in the province of Pordenone, in October 25, 1906, and at birth weighed 8 kg. His family was very poor and only survived thanks to the work of his father, a mosaic artist who emigrated to Germany. In 1915 his father was called to fight in the First World War and therefore had to leave his job, leaving all the burden of the family on his wife. The mother then sought a job, but was soon forced to sell her wedding ring to survive. Carnera was thus obliged to leave school and to beg with his brothers. Surprisingly, the "strongest man in the world" always maintained a great love for poetry, and knew whole cantos of the Divine Comedy by heart. He was growing to the point that, at twelve years old, he had the stature of an adult and was also arrested as a deserter, until his relatives came to explain that he was just a kid wearing adult men's clothes. Still a teenager, driven by poverty, Primo emigrated to France to stay with his uncle, finding employment as a carpenter. The uncles introduced him to the world of boxing, organizing a match with a beginner, but Carnera was not yet ready for the big step.
