Ah good old Battling Nelson, by all accounts he did not see his personal hygiene as being a priority, though did have a bathe the night before the Dempsey vs Willard fight........in a vat of lemonade being prepared by the drinks concession holder.

Quelle Surprise, once the customers became aware of the incident, they lost their appetite for the beverage, other versions are because they were not sure which vat had been soiled, they had to dispose of it all, the concession owner lost money, as did many other concession holders at the fight

That’s a gross and interesting story.

Nelson was dirty both in the ring and outside of it.
