FROM THE BOOKS
Georges Carpentier won the light-heavyweight championship in Jersey City's West Side Park on Columbus Day, 1920. He flattened the great Battling Levinsky in four rounds, a feat which only three other fighters were able to accomplish, and he became the first Frenchman to hold a bona fide world prize ring championship. Unfortunately, Paris had to witness his loss of the crown when Battling Siki brusquely ended his reign in the sixth round, on September 24, 1922.
