Jack Dempsey "The Nonpareil" is the life and career of the first middleweight boxing champion of the modern era. Dempsey was champion in the 1880’s during the transition period between bare-knuckle fighting under the London Prize Ring rules and the gloved era of the modern Marques of Queensberry rules. Jack Dempsey was so dominate in the prize-ring of his time, that sports scribes gave him his famous sobriquet “Nonpareil,” meaning unequalled.
In a prize-fighting career that spanned from 1883-1895, Dempsey was only defeated three times in sixty-one bouts. His these losses came at the end of his career when he was suffering from tuberculosis that would claim his life at the age of thirty-two. The Nonpareil was the most popular fighter in America at the time; second only to the great heavyweight champion, John L. Sullivan. Jack Dempsey "The Nonpareil” takes you back to a time when boxing made daily headlines and champions were idolized by millions. Jack Dempsey’s storied career is highlighted and his most important bouts and championship contests are all included in this edition.
