  • “The Fisticuffs' Series” – Snippets from Boxing History
    “The Fisticuffs’ Series” – Snippets from Boxing History Early Boxing, ‘The Colour Line’ & When Black Lives Didn’t Matter When the ‘Boston Strong Boy’, John L. Sullivan (1858 - 1918), fought Patrick ‘Paddy’ Ryan (1851 - 1900), in Mississippi City in 1882, under the London Prize Ring Rules of 1-minute rounds with a 50-second break, the attraction was such that not only did the famous New York Minister, Henry Ward Beecher publicly attend, but also Oscar Wilde made a detour. Even the outlaw, Jesse James, who was ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive’ in seven states with a $10,000 bounty on his head, came out of hiding to ride over four hundred miles from Missouri, passing Arkansas and down through Mississippi in order to witness the momentous occasion of the legendary John L. Sullivan claiming the World Heavyweight Championship in Round 9. As huge as the interest was for that fight, however, John L. Sullivan had long- since declared that he would draw the ‘colour line’, thereby excluding any African-American boxers he’d ‘allegedly’ fought coming up through the ranks from challenging him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Sullivan’s successors, James J. Corbett (1866 - 1933), aka ‘Gentleman Jim’ and James J. Jeffries (1875 - 1953), aka ‘The Boilermaker’, later emulated Sullivan, closed ranks and steadfastly refused to fight any holder of the Coloured Heavyweight World Title. Until, that is, a diminutive Canadian fighter, Tommy Burns (1881 - 1955), proved, once again, that every man does have his price when he eventually agreed to take up Australian, Hugh ‘Huge Deal’ McIntosh’s offer of a $30,000 purse to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against the ‘Galveston Giant’, Jack Johnson (1878 - 1946), at Rushcutter’s Bay, near Sydney, on Boxing Day, 1908.
