A few miles from New Orleans, at LaSalle s Landing - in what is now the city of Kenner - stands a life-size bronze statue of two men in combat. One of them is the legendary Gypsy Jem Mace, the first Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World and the last of the great bare-knuckle fighters. This is the story of Jem Mace s life. Born in Norfolk in 1931, between his first recorded fight, in October 1855, and his last - at the age of nearly 60 - he became the greatest fighter the world has ever known. But Gypsy Jem Mace was far more than a champion boxer: he played the fiddle in street processions in war-wrecked New Orleans; was friends with Wyatt Earp - survivor of the gunfight at the OK Corral (who refereed one of his fights), the author Charles Dickens; controversial actress Adah Mencken (he and Dickens were rivals for her aection); and the great and the good of New York and London high society; he fathered numerous children (the author is his great-great- grandson), and had countless lovers, resulting in many marriages and divorces.Gypsy Jem Mace is not simply a book about boxing, but more a narrative quest to uncover the life of a famous but forgotten ancestor, who died in poverty in 1910.

M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

This statement, condensed and potent as it is, could stand in for the questions this thesis asks and seeks to answer: why did wrestling develop as a professional, performed ‘sporting entertainment’? To answer this question, existing theories of social and sports history are combined with cultural studies methods and applied to Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of fields.

  • Bob Fitzsimmons
    1 Bob Fitzsimmons Name: Bob Fitzsimmons Alias: Ruby Birth Name: Robert James Fitzsimmons Born: 1863-05-26 Birthplace: Helston, Cornwall, United Kingdom Died: 1917-10-22 (Age:54) Hometown: Timaru, New Zealand Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 11½″ / 182cm Reach: 71½″ / 182cm Boxing Record: click The first triple titleholder in history, Bob Fitzsimmons won the world middleweight, heavyweight, and light heavyweight championships in a career that spanned 27 years. As a young man, Fitzsimmons worked as a blacksmith, and his punches held the power of an iron hammer hitting an anvil. He defied age, consistently fought larger men, and was crafty and resilient in the ring. Born in England, Fitzsimmons moved to New Zealand with his family as a small boy. School was a luxury and, before long, Fitzsimmons went to work as a carriage painter and in a foundry. His interest in boxing heated up when he entered an amateur boxing tournament supervised by visiting Hall of Famer Jem Mace. Weighing just 140 pounds, Fitzsimmons knocked out four larger opponents and won the heavyweight division of the contest. In 1883, Fitzsimmons moved to Australia, where his first recorded professional bouts took place. Over the next seven years, he posted a record of 15-5, with six no-decisions. In 1890, he travelled to America where three knockout bouts earned him a chance to fight world middleweight champion Jack Dempsey (The Nonpareil). Fitzsimmons proved to be more than Dempsey's equal and, after a vicious battle, he knocked the champion out in the thirteenth round. Fitzsimmons defended his middleweight crown just once before aiming at the heavyweight title.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information I
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information i The Cambridge Companion to Boxing While humans have used their hands to engage in combat since the dawn of man, boxing originated in ancient Greece as an Olympic event. It is one of the most popular, controversial, and misunderstood sports in the world. For its advocates, it is a heroic expression of unfettered individualism. For its critics, it is a depraved and ruthless physical and commercial exploitation of mostly poor young men. This Companion offers engaging and informative chapters about the social impact and historical importance of the sport of boxing. It includes a comprehensive chronology of the sport, listing all the important events and per- sonalities. Chapters examine topics such as women in boxing, boxing and the rise of television, boxing in Africa, boxing and literature, and boxing and Hollywood fi lms. A unique book for scholars and fans alike, this Companion explores the sport from its inception in ancient Greece to the death of its most celebrated fi gure, Muhammad Ali. Gerald Early is Professor of English and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. He has written about boxing since the early 1980s. His book, The Culture of Bruising , won the 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism. He also edited The Muhammad Ali Reader and Body Language: Writers on Sports . His essays have appeared several times in the Best American Essays series. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information ii © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information iii THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO BOXING EDITED BY GERALD EARLY Washington University, St.

  • 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.
