Jack Johnson became the world's first African-American heavy weight champion in 1908 in a bout with Tommy Burns. He held the title for 7 years.Jack Johnson was the first since Marquess of Queensberry rules were adopted in the 1880's. He beat Tommy Burns in 1908. There was an earlier one when London Prize ring rules were used. The newer rules have men wear padded gloves, a round lasts three minutes, men rest one minute between rounds, and a man who fails to continue by a count of ten loses. The old rules had men using their "bare knuckles", a round lasted until someone was knocked down if it took all day, and a man who cannot return to "toe the mark" after being knocked down loses.
Jack Johnson nicknamed "Lil Arthur" was the heavyweight champion from 1908-1915. He won the title from Tommy Burns in 1908 in Sydney, Australia and lost it to Jess Willard in 1915 in Havana, Cuba. His record was 79-8-12 with 44 kayo's. Nat Fleisher of Ring Magazine ranked him as the greatest heavyweight champion in boxing history.
