This rare 1924 newsreel captures the unusual endurance contest known as “Twelve Hours Punching” at Alexandra Palace, London.
The spectacle featured boxers and athletes participating in a grueling test of stamina, striking at punchballs continuously for twelve hours. Such contests were popular in the early 20th century as both sporting challenges and public entertainment.
Events like this reflected the fascination with strength, endurance, and spectacle during the post–World War I era in Britain, when sports and public exhibitions were seen as both recreation and national pride.
📍 Location: Alexandra Palace, London, England
📅 Date: 1924
