fight was against Jem Smith in
1889 for the championship of Eng

The battle was fought outdoors

Smith down repeatedly and was
winning the fight when a gang OF
toughs armed with sticks and
"knuckle busters" jumped into
the ring and broke up the fight.
Shaving received the purse, how
ever, and was acknowledged cham
pion of England. Slavin lost his
title in 1902 when he was knocked
