RANDALL, JACK HAND COLORED LITHOGRAPH (19TH CENTURY)

Jack Randall (November 25, 1794 – March 12, 1828), nicknamed "The Nonpareil", was a professional boxing pioneer. Born in London and standing only 5'6" tall, the diminutive Randall was one of the dominant pugilists of his era, compiling a 16-0-1 record as a professional, with all of his wins coming by knockout. Often credited as the inventor of the one-two punch, Randall successfully battled with contemporaries such as Ned Turner and Jack Martin (whom he defeated twice), and starred in a stage version of his ring exploits at the Regency Theatre. Randall struggled with alcoholism, and died of alcohol-related causes at the early age of 34. He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005, as a member of the "Pioneers" category. Offered here is an original, 19th century, hand colored lithograph of Jack Randall.
