The Fight of the Century was set for a July 4th celebration in which former heavyweight champion James J. Jeffries, coming out of retirement after six years, planned to soundly defeat, once and for all, the brash, insolent present champion Jack Johnson. Jeffries touted as "The Great White Hope" promised to smash Johnson, the "Galveston Giant" into the canvas for the white race. Jeffries had knocked unconscious the likes of "Gentleman Jim" Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons. Johnson, the first black champion, had other plans.
