John Broughton, alone among our
professional pugilists, can claim the
double distinction of an Abbey funeral
and of having had dedicated to him a
poem by the poet laureate. 1t was in
1744 that Paul Whitehead published his
"Gymnasia," or Boxing Match" which
he inscribed, ITO the most puissant and
invincible Mr.. John Broughton." AS
early as 1890 Broughton had achieved
athletic distinction as the winner of
Doggett's Coat and Badge.
The science of boxing owes much to
Broughton. He promulgated a Code
for the guidance of the eombatants and
the satisfaction of the judges" writes
Mr. Guy Nickalls. His new rules were
agreed upon by pugilists and approved
of by the gentlemen on August is. 1743.
and lasted in perfect integrity until
1898. a period of nearly 100 years. He
