However, he received little attention until he took on a manager named  Dan Morgan in 1913, who changed Barney´s name and his boxing fortunes. True to his new name, Battling Levinsky fought 37 times in 1914, 9 times in the month of January alone. In January 1915, he began the year with three 10-round bouts on New Year's 1 each in Brooklyn, Waterbury, Connecticut, and New York City. After two title-match losses to Light Heavyweight Champion Jack Dillon, (April 1914 and April 1916), Levinsky wrested the crown from Dillon on October 24, 1916. Fifty-nine bouts later, almost four years to the day, he lost his championship to France's Georges Carpentier.Presented here is an original, type 1, studio photo of Battling Levinsky.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFULL DESCRIPTION: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis original, type 1, photo of Levinsky measures 6 1\/4 inches by 8 1\/4 inches.
