Jem Ward (26 December 1800 – 3 April 1884) was an English bare-knuckle boxer.
 "A fine fighter and powerfully built man", he was the English champion boxer from 1825 until 1831.
 However, he is most notable for being the first boxer to be officially disciplined for deliberately losing a fight.
 During his fighting career he was nicknamed "The Black Diamond".
 In his retirement he became a successful artist.
John Mahan, also known as Steve Taylor, (January 26, 1851 – 1895?)
 was a 19th-century Irish-born American bare-knuckle boxer and pugilist.
 He was a noted heavyweight fighter in the Northeastern United States during the 1870s and billed as having "an unbeaten record" until his prizefight with future heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan in 1881.
 Sullivan rose to national prominence as a result of his victory while Mahan went into semi-retirement, taking part in numerous exhibition bouts during the 1880s.
 Mahan later toured the U.S. with Sullivan and became one of his chief sparring partners.

 Morrissey began his bare-knuckle boxing career after a confrontation with a man known only as "Chroel" who was notorious for troubling his fellow townsmen.
 Although Morrissey was on the bitter end of his first bare knuckle bout, his display of bravery and fortitude earned himself the respect and historical acknowledgment of his peers.
James Figg (1684 – 7 December 1734) was an English bare-knuckle boxer.
 He is widely recognized the first English bare-knuckle boxing champion, reigning from 1719 to 1730.

 Many of the bouts at the time consisted of boxing, wrestling and fencing with sharp swords.
 Figg was also a great fencer who engaged in sword duels and singlestick matches.
 He was born in Thame in Oxfordshire and fought his early prize fights there.
 In 1719 he started his own school and taught boxing, fencing, and quarterstaff.
 William Hogarth painted his portrait.
Yankee Sullivan (born James Ambrose; c. March 10, 1811 – May 31, 1856), also known as Frank Murray and James Sullivan, was a bare-knuckle fighter and boxer.
 He was a prizefighting champion from 1851 to October 12, 1853.
 He considered himself to be the inheritor of Tom Hyer's title, and lost any claim to that title after losing a fight to John Morrissey.

 A well known fighter in his youth, his 1841 bout with Tom Hyer at Caldwell's Landing reportedly lasted nearly 3 hours and went to 101 rounds before the "Pride of Chatham Square" seconds threw up the sponge.
 Considered one of the greatest fights in the city's history, Hyer was recognized as the top fighter in the United States and awarded the American heavyweight championship.
 He and Yankee Sullivan were part of a group of promoters arrested following the death of boxer Thomas McCoy who died during a match against Christopher Lilly in Westchester County on September 13, 1842.
 Sullivan, who was the main promoter, was sentenced to two years in prison while McCleester and the others received light jail sentences or fines.
