| Comments: |
"The Manassa Mauler" defending his title against Georges Carpentier, a Frenchman that was a WWI hero and quite popular. 91,000 people attended the fight which helped to generate enough money to make this the first million dollar gate in boxing history. This was also the first boxing match to ever be broadcast on radio nationally. Deemed "Fight of the Century" at the time. Dempsey would win in 4 rounds. |
