    Carpentier vs Gregson-Miller during World War 1 when the bout was interrupted by the first German parachute drop from a burning Foker-Wolfe which proceeded to take the western stand of spectators out. The bout carried on until a draw decision was announced in round 59.

    Carpentier didn't fight during WWI. I mean, he did, but it was in the military, not as a boxer.
