'''George Dixon''' was one of the all time greats. He had fast hands and was quick on his feet like a cat. On offense, he hit with both hands but mostly utilized a long, straight left accompanied by a stiff right. On defense, he guarded himself well. His quickness and ducking ability made him a difficult target to strike. He was the first black fighter to capture a world title, defeating [[Nunc Wallace]] for the vacant bantamweight title on June 27, 1890 in London, England. At featherweight, Dixon was both the first 2 time and the first 3 time world champion. It is quite possible Dixon fought as many as 800 fights, with hundreds of unrecorded exhibitions in vaudeville halls. He would die penniless three years after his retirement. He is interred at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts.
