Joe Louis - Was an American professional boxer who competed from 1934 to 1951. Nicknamed "the Brown Bomber", Louis is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. He reigned as the world Heavyweight champion from 1937 until his temporary retirement in 1949. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses, a record for all weight classes. Louis has the longest single reign as champion of any boxer in history. Louis's cultural impact was felt well outside the ring. He is widely regarded as the first African-American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States, and was also a focal point of anti-Nazi sentiment leading up to and during World War II because of his historic rematch with German boxer Max Schmeling in 1938. He retired with an exceptional professional record of 66 wins, 3 losses and 52 knockouts.
Jack Dempsey - Nicknamed Kid Blackie and The Manassa Mauler, was an American boxer who competed from 1914 to 1927, and was world Heavyweight champion from 1919 to 1926. He is ranked sixth on The Ring magazine's list of all-time heavyweights and fourth among its Top 100 Greatest Punchers, while in 1950 the Associated Press voted him as the greatest fighter of the past 50 years. Dempsey was the inaugural winner of the Edward J. Neil Memorial Plaque in 1938, awarded by the Boxing Writers Association of Greater New York. Dempsey was an inaugural inductee of The Ring magazine Hall of Fame (1954), the World Boxing Hall of Fame (1980), and the International Boxing Hall of Fame (1990). Considered one of the most iconic athletes of his era, Dempsey generated boxing's first million-dollar gate in 1921 against Georges Carpentier ($1,789,238), surpassing his own 1919 record of $452,522.10 set versus Jess Willard. He later drew the sport's first two-million-dollar gate in his 1927 rematch with Gene Tunney.
