EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when Tom "Little Wonder" Sayers and John "Benicia Boy" Heenan, two legendary boxers of the 19th century, received their belts after their epic 37-round contest ended in a draw at the Alhambra, London, in 1860. The crowd, filled with anticipation and excitement, watches as the two champions are recognized for their extraordinary feat in the ring. The boxing match between Sayers and Heenan was one of the most significant in the history of the sport, surpassing the previously recorded 21-round contest between Oliver McThearty and John Morris in 1838. This monumental event took place during a time when boxing was gaining immense popularity, and the rules were still evolving. The 37 rounds, which lasted for over two hours, tested the endurance, strength, and determination of both fighters. Despite the grueling length of the contest, neither fighter was willing to concede defeat. The draw was a testament to their skill and resilience, leaving the crowd in awe and solidifying their place in boxing history. The presentation of the belts symbolized the recognition of their achievement and the culmination of their intense battle. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of the sport and the unforgettable moments that have shaped it. The legacy of Tom Sayers and John Heenan continues to inspire and captivate boxing fans to this day.
