This link attributes Peter Jackson's tuberculosis to injuries he sustained against Frank Slavin in 1892 , In that fight Jackson suffered two broken ribs which punctured his lung, setting the stage for the TB that eventually killed him. I was unaware that Jackson received two broken ribs in the Slavin fight, did other posters know of this? This piece is an extract from Nat Fleischers "Black Dynamite". "Regarded as the greatest boxer of his era, Jackson had met ,in Corbett,his equal,at least in cleverness.Those who witnessed the affair,were unanimous on two points,.Corbett was a far greater fighter than the American public had credited him with being,and that , Peter Jackson,had passed the meridian of his fighting days,success had gone to Peter,s brain,he had been living the life that an athlete could not afford to go through,without injury to his body." " Jackson stopped Jem Smith in 2 rds for the British Empire Championship,after this, in ,1892 he fought Frank Slavin,stopping him in 10rds,during this fight,however ,he suffered 2 broken ribs,which punctured his lung,this led to his tuberculosis." Ths report shows that Jackson was on the way to alcoholism shortly after the Slavin fight ,he drank neat gin. Peter Jackson's last notable fight was in London in May 1892, when he fought fellow Australian Paddy Slavin for the British title. Jackson won a fight that was reported as "vicious" in ten rounds. Unfortunately the years of punishment from his fights and his heavy use of alcohol then started to have a detrimental effect on Jackson, who went through the motions with exhibition bouts and stage productions in order to survive. He was hospitalised in Vancouver before coming home to live in the Queensland town of Roma where he died from tuberculosis in July 1901. He was forty years old
