Item Details

Description

A GATHERING OF GLADIATORS AT 'THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY': JOHNSON VS. JEFFRIES
'World famous gladiators and promoters, Reno, Nev., July 4, 1910.' Gelatin silver print photograph, 11 x 16 inches laid down to 15 x 20 inch board, featuring Hugh McIntosh, Tommy Burns, John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons, Tom Sharkey, Stan Ketchel and others on stage in street clothes, no photographer's imprint but stamped 'James E. Petter Whiskey ' Born with the Republic,'' dampstain and chipping at edges.
Provenance: purchased Superior Galleries 13th Annual National Sports Collection Convention Auction, July 8-10, 1992, Lot 237.

Boxing greats Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, and others gather in Reno to watch the championship bout between Jack Johnson and James Jeffries. This one really was 'The Fight of the Century.' Jeffries came back to the ring after 5 years in retirement, urged on by white fans upset at Johnson's ascent to the title. He was over 100 lbs overweight and out of shape, however, and had to work mightily to get back in shape. In spite of the racial animas, Johnson performed magnificently, and won on a TKO in the 15th round. The bout was filmed with the intent to exhibit it in theaters, but the news of Johnson's win sparked race riots (in addition to celebrations), and many states barred the film's exhibition.
