FATHER OF MODERN BOXING.
John Broughton Formulated Rules and
Set Up Booth in London.


John Broughton may be called the father
OF modern boxing. He was born in 1904
and before he reached manhood and estab-
lished boxing booth on Tottenham Court
road, in London, the sport was scarcely
known. --
OF course. in ancient Greece there was a.
game OF extremely brutal character, in
which the contestants pounded one another
with iron disks until one was rendered In
sensible or killed. generally the latter; but
this has no relation whatever to modern
boxing In any way. Combats with weapons
swords, Javelins and the like were the
popular thing in all ages and continued so
in England until about the time of George
l. when the sword combats began to fall
into disfavor a sport; and while the
populace was still chasing strange gods in
the hope of finding another pastime to fill
It's place John BroughtOn was born and
grew TO manhood. 1t may be that fights
of some kind between unarmed men may
have been held before he appeared on the
scene. but 1t wasn't until he formulated
SET OF rules that modern boxing was given
the right to call its existence begun.
This occurred In 1743. and in them for the
nrst time was rest permitted between
short intervals of fighting In order that the
contestants could become more or less re-
cuperated. This, as allowed by Brough-
tons rules. was but half minute; and
when 1t was extended to a minute l don't
know exactly. but at any rate it wasn't
curing Broughton's time. Broughton con-
tlnued to maintain his boxing booth In
London for many years, and he was the
nrst man who ever called himself cham
pion boxer of England, or anywhere else,
for that matter.
In 1870. however. he met his Waterloo In
an encounter with a butcher named Slack.
q man who had never entered boxing ring
before. but who landed one blow on
broughton's eyes that temporarily blinded
him. and the fight therefore. ended at the
expiration or fourteen minutes. Broughton
was never able to win back his lost Iaurels
ana hved for thirty nine years in complete
opscurity before he died. though not in
poverty. for during the days of his cham
pionshlp ne had enjoyed the favor of the
Duke of Cumberland. second son of tho
King, and others of royal and noble blood.
ana through their patronage had amassed
snug fortune with the exhibitions he gave
regularly at his booth.
