Here's the questions that are still unanswered: What former heavyweight title challenger had a daughter drafted in the 1st round of the WNBA draft? Here's another one: What was the 1st world title fight tracked by compubox?
I know he was killed in the Ring BUT there is no proof that he killed anyone: December 19, 1837: Editors of Bell's Life, Fistiana: Or, The Oracle of the Ring, London, 1841, 222; London Times, March 20, 1838; (Glasgow) Scotsman, March 24, 1838; Edmond Burke, The Annual Register, v. 80 (London: Rivingtons, 1839), 40-41; Eau Claire (Wisconsin) Argus, July 24, 1879; Alfred Kingston, Fragments of Two Centuries: Glimpses of Country Life when George III was King (Royson: Warren Brothers, 1893); "Famous pupils -- William Phelps -- Brighton Bill," http://www.middlestreet.org/mshistory/brightonbill.htm. The fight was well-planned (it took place at the border of three counties, but on a main road), lasted about 1-1/2 hours, and throughout, no one called "shame." Phelps collapsed after the fight. Cause of death was given as brain hemorrhage, primarily on the left side, and a punctured left lung. Swift was charged with manslaughter, but acquitted. Nonetheless, the scandal following this death led to the Pugilistic Club of London replacing Broughton's Rules with London Prize Ring Rules. The new rules introduced a 24-foot square roped ring, eliminated seizing below the waist, and prohibited seconds from pushing a semi-conscious fighter to his mark.
Nope. Although there could have been another one, as I've never actually seen this as a question, it's just a 'nugget' I stumbled upon once. I'd like to know if there was another addition but I doubt it.

I have posted it before mate, that's perhaps when you read it. But it was the fight I posted on, not the judge. :good
