George Dixon (boxer)

George Dixon (July 29, 1870 – January 6, 1908) was a Canadian professional boxer. After winning the bantamweight title in 1890, he became the first ever black athlete to win a world championship in any sport; he was also the first Canadian-born boxing champion. Ring Magazine founder Nat Fleischer ranked Dixon as the #1 featherweight of all-time. He was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1955, the Ring Magazine Hall of Fame in 1956 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a first-class inductee in 1990.<ref name="boxer2">"George Dixon", Cyber Boxing Encyclopedia</ref> In 2018 he was named one of the greatest 15 athletes in Nova Scotia's history, ranking sixth.<ref name="CBC">Template:Cite news</ref>

Boxing career

Dixon was born in Africville, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Known as "Little Chocolate" he stood Template:Convert tall and weighed only Template:Convert when he began his professional boxing career. Dixon is widely credited for developing shadowboxing.<ref name="boxer2"/>

Dixon claimed the world bantamweight title on May 10, 1888, after a bout with Tommy "Spider" Kelly,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> and was officially considered the champion after knocking out Nunc Wallace of England in 18 rounds two years later on June 27, 1890.

On May 31 1891, Dixon retained his bantamweight crown by beating Cal McCarthy in 22 rounds and then moved up to the featherweight division where he won the World title by beating England's Fred Johnson on June 27, 1892 . While he held the title, Dixon established a vaudeville troupe he called the "George Dixon Specialty Co." which toured Canada and the United States; it appeared at the Naylor Opera House in Terre Haute, Indiana, on November 8, 1894.

On October 4, 1897, he lost the featherweight title by decision in a rematch bout with Solly Smith, who he had previously defeated by seventh-round technical knockout.

In a close bout, he lost to the British featherweight champion Ben Jordan on July 1, 1898, at New York's Lenox Club in a classic twenty five round points decision by referee Charley White. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "Dixon did the leading but unlike many of those who had previously met the little Colored fighter, Jordan went at him and mixed it all the time." The bout was close, and many believed a draw would have been a better decision. Jordan was down on his hands and knees in the seventh from a blow by Dixon, but the bout contained relatively few knockdowns and no counts. The bout ended with a flurry by Dixon, but the referee did not feel it adequate to award him the decision. The Chronicle actually believed Dixon had the edge in the fighting.<ref>"Referee and Sports Disagree", San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco, California, pg. 5, 2 July 1898</ref> The Los Angeles Times also agreed the bout was close and that "Both men fought well and there was little to choose between them".<ref>"Donated by Dixon", The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California, pg. 4, 2 July 1898</ref><ref name="boxer2"/>

Dixon was in talks to face champion Solly Smith in a third meeting, however, Smith lost the world title in a surprising upset against Dave Sullivan – the bout was stopped in the fifth round after Smith sustained a broken arm.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Dixon instead turned his attention to newly crowned champion Sullivan, and on November 11, 1898, he reclaimed the world featherweight title by decisively defeating him in a tenth round disqualification at New York City's Lenox Club. Sullivan had held the title only forty-six days.<ref name="auto">"Birthday of Dave Sullivan", The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia, pg. 13, 10 May 1919</ref>

At the time of the fight the betting favored Dixon, but was close, and briefly went to even odds. For nine rounds in front of eight thousand spectators, Dixon had the advantage.

In the final round, Sullivan's brother Jack walked into the ring twice to speak to the referee, Jimmy Coville, about the time remaining in the round, eventually causing Coville to end the fight in frustration over Jack's infraction. Sullivan could have fought on, though he would have almost certainly lost the fight.<ref>"George Dixon the Winner", The Record Union, Sacramento, California, pg. 1, 12 November 1898</ref>

According to some sources, Dixon lost his featherweight title in a 15-round decision to Abe Attell on October 28, 1901, while other sources credit his loss of the title to "Terrible" Terry McGovern almost 2 years prior on January 9, 1900.Template:Citation needed

By that time, he had moved to Boston, where he had family; it was a destination for other immigrants from Africville.Template:Citation needed

Dixon died on January 6, 1908, not long after his last fight, in the alcohol ward of Bellevue Hospital. Dixon was living and begging on the streets of New York. Attempts by Dixon's fans to get him back on his feet failed and the media reported the end was near for the former champion who had fallen on dark times. When asked if he had friends who could help, Dixon would tell doctors he had no friends except for former world heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan.<ref>March 6, 2015, By Adam StockerIn Boxing, Sports, Uncategorized</ref>

Part of his hospital bills for the illness that took his life were paid for by a charity boxing tournament put on in January 23, 1908, at Bower's Minery Theatre in New York.<ref>"Little Chocolate Greatest Boxer of Old Feathers", The San Francisco Call, San Francisco, California, pg. 29, 17 August 1913</ref> He is interred in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts. A recreation and community centre adjacent Uniacke Square in Halifax is named in his honour. In 2021, Dixon was named a National Historic Person by the government of Canada, on the recommendation of the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board.<ref>Government of Canada honours innovative Black athlete with historic designation, Parks Canada news release, Dec. 21, 2021</ref> The commemorative plaque is located at Africville Museum, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
