    "William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey (June 24, 1895 – May 31, 1983), nicknamed Kid Blackie and The Manassa Mauler, was an American professional boxer who competed from 1914 to 1927, and reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1919 to 1926. A cultural icon of the 1920s, Dempsey's aggressive fighting style and exceptional punching power made him one of the most popular boxers in history."

    but the negotiations over the bout took until 1921. The two boxers finally fought on July 3, 1921, with Dempsey as victor, with a KO in the 4th round. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dempsey#Professional_boxing_re...
