Looking for some clarification please. After doing a fair bit of research for a script, it seems Ernie Terrell in regarded as being WBA champion 65-67 after Ali was stripped of the title. Yet on Boxrec it lists about 8 fights between these dates for Ali and states Ali as WBA champion? Would apprecia...

To be fair, what the fighters went though in the 18th and 19th century I doubt any fighter alive today could manage. If you do not think that their lives amidst the brutal aspects of boxing at that time is not amazing, then I think the modern game has polluted you. The difficulties in travel and see...

Thank you my friend, appreciate the reply. Shame on the Sullivan front as many consider him to be one of the best ever champions but his point in history works against him. This era is amazing and the fighters are proper insane, could only see Mike Tyson, Gevonta Davies or perhaps Fury cutting thier...

Hello, I have recently got into boxing, and have been looking at the history and routes. I am getting a little confused with some of the early fights as the stats dont add up, for instance Bob Fitszimmons is listed as 61W 8L 4D but when you count the fights listed it is actually 70W 12D 13L....... w...

Hello Boxinfoers. Would anyone be able to tell me what 'The Barrier Heavyweight Title' is please. I have come across this doing some research, found it on the Joe Goddard's record against Owen Sullivan 30-8-1889? Also I am seeing many posts like 'World 158lbs Middle Weight' and 'World 165lbs Middle ...

Tyson is playing a very good game, his future is still uncertain and by getting a war of words going he creates publicity and exposure that the BBBoC can not ignore. For the very best revenue though Tyson needs to fight some of the other contenders to create a buzz of anticipation. People outside of...

This seems to be common error.

On your total fights stat for Bob Fitszimmons you have 61w 8l 4d - 57ko and 7ko'd
if you count the individual data entries you get the record 68w 11l 13d - 46ko and 5ko'd

Having spotted this I may have do all my research again!

I am sure there is a correct place to post this but coudl not find it. I have spotted an error on the record of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien On his profile is states 91 wins 7 losses and 14 Draws. He has infact (By 23/07/1904) secured 115 Wins 7 Losses and 21 Draws. I counted on your records to confirm...

Thank you all, I know it was over 100 years ago, but I have 7 books on my desk and all say different things. In majority it says when he beat Kilrain, as this was the last fight fought under bare knuckle rules. Also other bare knuckle fights are listed on his record so why not Kilrain or Mitchell?? ...

According to many sources John L Sullivan became heavyweight champion by either beating Charlie Mitchell in 1888 or beating Jake Kilrain in 1889, neither fight is listed in his records on Box Rec Can anyone shed light on this? Also how many defenses of the title did he make, some books have said thr...
