A heavy weight champion Jim Corbett was the fighter to win the championship in 1892 against John Sullivan at the Pelican Athletic Club in New Orleans according to the Queensberry rules. Jim fought the bout using gloves and in accordance to the 12 rules, while Sullivan fought bare-knuckled. The competition also marked decline of bare-knuckled fights that were popular in those times.
