Dempsey vs Fripo Tshirt

One of the most memorable fights in the history of boxing occurred on September 14, 1923, when heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey took on Argentine challenger Luis Ángel Firpo at the Polo Grounds in New York City.

The fight was highly anticipated, with Dempsey entering the ring as the heavy favourite. But Firpo, who had earned the nickname “The Wild Bull of the Pampas” for his aggressive fighting style, was not to be underestimated.

The first round of the fight was a shocker, as Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring with a mighty right hand that sent him crashing to the floor. Dempsey managed to climb back into the ring just as the referee counted him out, and the fight continued.

The two fighters engaged in a fierce battle, with both landing powerful blows. But it was Dempsey who ultimately emerged victorious, knocking Firpo out in the second round with a devastating barrage of punches.
