Framed Print of Jack Johnson, American boxer, (1938)
Jack Johnson, American boxer, (1938). Nicknamed the Galveston Giant, Jack Johnson (1878-1946) became world champion in 1908 when he defeated Canadas Tommy Burns in Sydney. There was considerable opposition to the concept of a black man being world heavyweight champion, and a succession of great white hopes attempted to take the title from Johnson. In 1910 in what was billed the fight of the century, the former undefeated champion James J Jeffries came out of retirement to fight Johnson in Reno, Nevada. Jeffries stated I am going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a negro and the fight took place in a highly charged atmosphere of racial tension. Johnson dominated the fight, and Jeffries corner pulled him out in the 15th round to prevent him suffering a knockout. Johnson earned $225, 000 from his victory, which sparked race riots across the United States. He held the world title until 1915, when he was defeated by Jess Willard.
