EDITORS COMMENTS
James J Corbett, the legendary American boxer, is captured in this print from 1900. Seen here training with his coach Jim Kennedy, Corbett's determination and skill are evident even in this image. Known as Gentleman Jim, James John Corbett rose to fame when he became the world heavyweight boxing champion in 1892 after knocking out John L Sullivan in New Orleans. His successful defense against Britain's Charley Mitchell further solidified his status as a formidable champion. However, Corbett's career took a turn when he faced another British fighter, Bob Fitzsimmons, and suffered defeat in 1897. This loss ultimately led him to retire from professional boxing. In this photograph, we see Corbett dressed in traditional boxing attire of the time - shorts and gloves - showcasing his dedication to the sport that brought him worldwide recognition. The gymnasium setting adds an authentic touch to the scene, emphasizing the rigorous training regime that made Corbett such a respected sports personality. This historical image not only captures an iconic moment in American sports history but also serves as a testament to James J Corbett's enduring legacy as one of boxing's greatest champions.
