Buster Mathis won a three-round points decision over Joe Frazier in the heavyweight final of the US Olympic Trials #OnThisDay in 1964 at the New York World's Fair.
Michael Dokes retained the WBA world heavyweight title #OnThisDay in 1983 with a controversial 15-round majority decision draw with former champ Mike Weaver at the Dunes Hotel & Casino Outdoor Arena in Las Vegas.
Jack Dempsey had a $2M gate in 1927 against Gene Tunney. Adjusted for inflation that’s over $38M in today’s dollars, which would be a top-five gate of all time. Some perspective on how huge he was as a box office star.
What’s going on with Conwell? He hasn’t fought in a year and it’s really disappointing how his career has been handled.
Charles "Bud" Taylor, aka "The Blonde Terror of Terre Haute", was stripped of his NBA world bantamweight crown #OnThisDay in 1928 for failing to actively defend the title. NBA President Thomas E Donohue said the body was "anxious to maintain the interest in the bantamweight

Happy Birthday to former Bantamweight World Champion Tony Marino. Trained by the great Ray Arcel. Sadly he passed away at the age of 26 in 1937 by injuries sustained against Carlos Quintana. His death inspired the 3 Knockdown Rule. 🙏🏼🥊
Happy Birthday to former Undisputed Lightweight World Champion Joe Brown. He was the 1961 Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996. He passed away in 1997 at the age of 71. 🥊
Today is the 70th birthday of the great Sugar Ray Leonard. When he fought, it was truly a big event - transcending boxing and sports - he made the sport bigger. One of the last true boxers who I believe the general public knew -- and still knows. Truly an all-time great #boxing
