1910 T220 Champions Jas J. Corbett.
Known as “Gentleman Jim,” James J. Corbett revolutionized boxing in the late 19th century with his scientific approach and graceful footwork. He famously defeated bare-knuckle legend John L. Sullivan in 1892 to become the first gloved heavyweight champion under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. More than just a fighter, Corbett brought class, strategy, and showmanship to the sport—paving the way for modern boxing as both a spectacle and a science.

Jack Johnson, known as the "Galveston Giant," was the first Black world heavyweight boxing champion, holding the title from 1908 to 1915.

Johnson defeated white champion Tommy Burns to claim the title and later humiliated former champ Jim Jeffries in the infamous "Fight of the Century," exposing the myth of white supremacy in boxing.
