James ‘Deaf’ Burke was one of England’s earliest boxing champions. He was tried for murder after one of his opponent’s died from the beating that Burke gave him. After that he found it difficult to find matches and wound up travelling to America to fight. He passed away at the age of 36 from tuberculosis (1809-1845). He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992. Click on the ‘James Burke’ link on this page to read more about him.
