Who is Jack Dempsey?

Between 1919 and 1926, William Harrison “Jack” Dempsey (June 24, 1895 – May 31, 1983) was an American boxer who held the world heavyweight title. Dempsey, also known as “The Manassa Mauler,” was a powerful puncher who was known for his thrilling battles, many of which broke financial and attendance records. The fight between Dempsey and Georges Carpentier produced boxing’s first million-dollar gate. His colorful attitude and brutal, in-your-face approach made him as well-known as Babe Ruth or Red Grange, both of whom were major, charismatic figures at the time. Dempsey’s swagger and bravado suited the mood of the “Roaring Twenties,” and wherever he went, men looked up in awe and women swooned. He has a colorful and aggressive fish named after him.

Dempsey used a two-fisted strike in the ring. He bounded, weaved, and bombed his way out of a low crouch. He was a ruthless and remorseless fighter who stalked his opponent at all times. Dempsey had 52 knockouts in his 84-bout career, with 25 of them coming in the first round. Dempsey, who was around the size of a current cruiserweight, sometimes faced opponents 10 to 25 pounds heavier than himself, and he handled bigger, stronger men better than lighter, faster ones. Charley Rose, Nat Fleischer, and Herb Goldman, three boxing experts, have regarded him as the third, fourth, and fifth-best heavyweight of all time, respectively.

Early Life and Bio

Hyrum and Celia Dempsey, Dempsey’s parents, were originally from West Virginia, where his father worked as a schoolteacher. William Harrison Dempsey was born on June 24, 1895, in Manassa, Colorado. Around 1880, Dempsey’s parents were converted by a missionary party from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Soon after, they relocated to Manassa, Colorado, where Dempsey was born as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Even though Hyrum left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints later in life, his wife stayed devoted and observant throughout her life, and Dempsey was reared in the church. Later, the boxer explained his personal religious beliefs: “I’m proud to be a member of the Mormon faith. And I’m embarrassed to be a Jack Mormon.”

Dempsey’s father and two elder brothers worked as miners after the family came from West Virginia, and the family traveled around Colorado and Utah looking for work. Dempsey got his first work harvesting crops on a farm near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, when he was eight years old. To help support his poor family, he worked as a farmhand, miner, and cowboy for the following few years. Dempsey often stated as an adult that he enjoyed three types of work: boxing, mining, and cowboying and that he would have been equally happy doing any of them. Bernie Dempsey, Dempsey’s older brother, worked as a prizefighter in the saloons of hardscrabble Rocky Mountain communities during this time. Bernie was the one who taught Jack how to fight, telling him to chew pine tar gum to strengthen his jaw and to soak his face in brine to toughen his skin.

Dempsey’s family moved to Provo, Utah, when he was 12 years old, and he attended Lakeview Elementary School. He did, however, drop out of school after the eighth grade to pursue full-time employment. He polished shoes, gathered crops, and unloaded beets for ten cents per ton in a sugar plant. Dempsey had matured into a skilled young boxer by the age of 17, and he had determined that boxing was a better way to gain money than working.

Dempsey moved from mine town to mining town for the following five years, 1911-16, picking up fights anywhere he could. His home base was Peter Jackson’s Saloon in Salt Lake City, where he organized his fights with a local organizer named Hardy Downey. In his Salt Lake City debut, Dempsey, who went by the name “Kid Blackie,” knocked out his opponent, a boxer known as “One Blow Hancock,” with just one punch. Downey was enraged enough to make Dempsey battle another opponent before paying him.

Bernie was still prizefighting at the time, and he went by the moniker Jack Dempsey, after the legendary nineteenth-century boxer Jack “Nonpareil” Dempsey. Bernie became ill one day in 1914, and his younger brother offered to fill in for him. He won his brother’s battle decisively that night, assuming the moniker Jack Dempsey for the first time, and never surrendered it. By 1917, Dempsey had established a strong enough name in San Francisco and on the East Coast that he was able to book higher-profile and better-paying contests.
