Before that bout, Johnson had attended a match between Kaufman and Tony Ross held at the Fairmont Athletic Club in The Bronx on April 13, 1909.
Five months later, on the 9th of September, Kaufman met Johnson at the San Francisco's Mission Street Arena in a championship fight.
McCarthy had floored Kaufman three times with rights to the chin, sending him through the ropes into the lap of a journalist who helped him into the ring.
Six months later, Kaufman served as the sparring partner for McCarty, who had won the White World Heavyweight title from Palzer on New Year's Day.
[2] Kaufman appeared in several films including the silent boxing comedy The Egg Crate Wallop (1919).
