"From the first round to the twenty-fifth the sailor put up a battle that plainly demonstrated that he was a 'pug' of no mean ability, and the greater science, alone, of his opponent is all that won him the big fight on points. The club house was filled to its utmost capacity, and with few exceptions the decision was considered fair and equitable." (Breckenridge Builletin) The New York Journal reported Jeff's weight as 210 lbs and Sharkey at 185.
On 03 November 1899, James J. Jeffries defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Tom Sharkey in a brutal 25-round battle at the Coney Island Athletic Club in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Under extremely hot arc lights and fierce conditions, both men fought relentlessly for more than one hour and 40 minutes, with Jeffries winning a points decision over Sharkey. The contest featured intense back-and-forth action, multiple knockdowns in the early rounds, and extraordinary resilience from Sharkey. This full fight presentation has been colorized in high quality, bringing one of boxing’s earliest heavyweight wars vividly to life.
