EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense focus and determination of two heavyweight boxing champions, Bob Fitzsimmons of Britain and Peter Felix of Australia, as they prepare to face off in the ring during their December 1909 match in Sydney, Australia. Bob Fitzsimmons, born in 1863, was a formidable boxer known for his quick reflexes and powerful punches. He had already made a name for himself in the boxing world, having held world championship titles in three different weight classes. Peter Felix, born in 1866, was an accomplished boxer in his own right, with a reputation for his tenacious fighting style and unyielding spirit. He was determined to dethrone the reigning champion and prove himself as the best heavyweight boxer in the world. In the weeks leading up to their highly anticipated match, Fitzsimmons and Felix, along with three other opponents, faced each other in a series of rigorous training sessions and exhibition bouts in preparation for the fight against Bill Lang. This photograph captures the moment of intense concentration and preparation before the big event. Both men are seen here dressed in their boxing attire, with their boots laced up and gloves at the ready. Fitzsimmons, on the left, leans forward with a focused expression, while Felix, on the right, strikes a confident pose with his fists raised. The photograph adds to the timeless and iconic quality of the image, transporting us back to an era of grit, determination, and the thrill of the fight. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and skill of two legendary boxers, and a reminder of the rich history of the sport of boxing.
