EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment during the 26th round of the heavyweight championship boxing match between Jack Johnson and Jess Willard, held in Havana, Cuba on April 5, 1915. Jack Johnson, also known as the "Galveston Giant" and the first African-American world heavyweight champion, is seen in the center of the ring, determined to defend his title against his opponent, Jess Willard, nicknamed the "Pottawatomie Giant." The two boxers, both towering figures in their respective primes, engage in an intense battle, with the outcome uncertain as the fight wears on. The crowd, a mix of spectators and onlookers, watches with bated breath, the tension palpable in the air. Johnson, with his agile footwork and quick jabs, had successfully defended his title against numerous challengers for seven years. However, Willard, with his powerful punches and reach advantage, proved to be a formidable opponent. In the end, it was Willard who emerged victorious, knocking out Johnson in the 26th round, marking the end of Johnson's reign as heavyweight champion. This photograph is a testament to the skill, determination, and athleticism of these two legendary boxers, and a reminder of the rich history of the sport of boxing.
