'Deaf Burke defeats Tom O'Connell', 1837 (late 19th or early 20th century).
'Deaf Burke defeats Tom O'Connell', 1837 (late 19th or early 20th century). An illustration from Famous Fights. James 'Deaf' Burke (1809-1845) was the first British boxing champion to fight in America. He was unable to secure fights in England after the Irish champion, Simon Byrne, died after Burke knocked him out in 1833. Burke won this fight against Tom O'Connell at Hart's Island, New York, with a 10th round knockout.
