Download or read book James J. Corbett written by Armond Fields and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he died in 1933, James J. “Gentleman Jim” Corbett was honored by two distinguished groups of people: the professional boxing public, who celebrated him as America’s greatest boxing champion, and the world of popular theater admirers, who revered him as one of Broadway’s top vaudeville headliners. Corbett was uniquely instrumental in making boxing and popular theater both justifiable commercial enterprises, to be enjoyed by all classes of people. He became America’s first national sports hero and went on to formulate the theater world’s star system. This is the first definitive biography of the man who knocked out heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan, and who also knocked out audiences who flocked to see him in vaudeville and silent pictures. The focus herein is on the real man, the influences on his life, and the social and commercial environment within which he functioned. The author reveals that Corbett was a complex, driven, enigmatic man whose dedicated participation in popular entertainment changed American social values and mores, and at the same time reinvented the notion of a national hero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1883, the Olympic Club catered to a variety of pursuits from target shooting to billiards to boxing--the most popular sport in New Orleans, despite legal prohibitions. A revised city ordinance and a vague state statute permitting boxing sponsored by chartered athletic clubs were frequently tested at the Olympic, the epicenter of boxing in America. Between 1890 and 1894, the club's 10,000-seat arena hosted six world championship and seven national or regional title bouts. The 1892 Fistic Carnival featured three world title fights on three consecutive days, culminating in the World Heavyweight Championship between John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett.

Book excerpt: Born to former slaves on St. Croix in 1860, Peter Jackson made his name as a boxer with his smooth, fast style and a dangerous one-two combination. After immigrating to Australia, Jackson became that country's national heavyweight champion in 1886 before moving on to the United States and claiming the title of Colored Champion of the World in 1888. For the next ten years Peter Jackson remained undefeated, finally losing to the great Jim Jeffries in 1898. Although he never received a shot at the heavyweight title--reigning heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan refused to defend his title against a black man--Jackson remains one of the greatest heavyweights ever.

Download or read book Ultimate Tough Guy written by Jim Carney (Jr.) and published by Achill Pub.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jim Jeffries won the heavyweight title in 1899, boxers were the most celebrated athletes in America. Icons John L. Sullivan and Gentleman Jim Corbett had preceded him, but Jeffries seemed to be of a different breed--big, strong, and almost freakishly athletic, with the ruggedness of the grizzly bears he hunted on his trips into the wilderness. Big Jim was a brand new kind of American hero, and the heavyweight era he dominated was loaded with a group of great fighters that most boxing historians rank as being unmatched until the "Golden Era" of Ali-Frazier-Foreman in the 1970's. Tearing through his opponents with the ferocity of a force of nature, Jeffries retired undefeated in 1904, but was reluctantly lured back into the ring six years later to take on the first black heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson, in what was arguably the most controversial sporting event in American history.--From publisher description.
