With the proliferation of sanctioning bodies giving rise to multiple titleholders in each weight class it has become increasingly difficult to track the history of the World championships in professional boxing. The purpose of this publication is to give the boxing fan an overview of the history of the heavyweight championship of the World. What you will find here is a brief description of how the championship was passed along from John L. Sullivan to the present champion Wladimir Klitschko. Also included is a list of all deserving holders of the championship, and not least a very comprehensive section with a complete list of all World heavyweight championship fights held under the Queensberry rules, including the ones sanctioned by major organizations like NBA, NYSAC – and later WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO. I hope that this publication will be able to help the casual boxing fan to navigate through professional boxing history.

For six decades the World Colored Heavyweight Championship was a useful tool of racial oppression--the existence of the title far more important to the white public than its succession of champions. It took some extraordinary individuals, most notably Jack Johnson, to challenge "the color line" in the ring, although the title and the black fighters who contended for it continued until the reign of Joe Louis a generation later. This history traces the advent and demise of the Championship, the stories of the 28 professional athletes who won it, and the demarcation of the color line both in and out of the ring.

The world heavyweight boxing championship once transcended the sport, conferring global renown. This book gives detailed coverage to five legendary championship bouts that captivated audiences worldwide. Coaxed out of retirement by the press, former champ James J. Jeffries challenged black titleholder Jack Johnson--universally despised by white audiences--in 1910, in hopes of returning the title to the white race. In 1921, dapper World War I hero and light-heavyweight champion Georges Carpentier hoped to upset heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey, widely considered a draft-dodger, in a fight that garnered the first "million dollar gate." In perhaps the most politically charged bout ever, "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis, popular with both white and black America, faced Nazi Germany's Max Schmeling--the first ever to win the title by disqualification--at a sold-out Yankee stadium in 1938. A relentless brawler, undefeated Rocky Marciano in 1952 sought to bludgeon the title away from the more experienced and savvier Joe Walcott, at 38 the oldest heavyweight champ in history. In a monumental clash of two undefeated world champions, Muhammad Ali--on the comeback trail after his title was stripped from him for refusing to be drafted during the Vietnam War--squared off with titleholder Joe Frazier in 1971.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder came to boxing on different paths. Wilder was a promising basketball and American football player and dreamed of playing in the NFL. Those dreams were shattered when his daughter was born with spina bifida and Wilder looked for a day job to help with her medical bills. He first stepped into a boxing gym aged nineteen and never looked back, winning bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and knocking everybody out on his way to winning the WBC heavyweight championship of the world. Born prematurely and fighting for his life, Fury's father John called his son after Mike Tyson, the at the time reigning heavyweight champion. Fury grew into a mountain of a man and followed the family tradition of prizefighting. The charismatic and outspoken Gypsy King breathed new life into British heavyweight boxing and got his wish to face and dethrone the dominant Wladimir Klitschko. After a three-year break in his career where Fury battled UKAD and faced his personal demons, he returned to the ring and challenged Wilder for his WBC title. Their three epic battles equalled the rivalries of Ali-Frazier and Holyfield-Bowe. A Modern Day Rivalry takes you from both men's early beginnings and tells the story of the heavyweight title during their ascendency from professional debut to world title contenders.
