[2] During the years following the win against Smith, Baldwin, now known as "The Pride of Westminster," established himself as the leading lightweight fighter in England.

[3] Baldwin then easily defeated James Kelly, an Irish shoemaker, at Wimbledon in 12 rounds, taking 15 minutes on 22 December 1800.

Though few, if any, specific accounts of his participation in the sport exist in area newspapers, Baldwin was celebrated for his skill in rushing in and catching the dog in his arms when the bull had tossed him.

[8] For a purse of 25 guineas, at Woodford Green, Essex on 7 August 1804, Baldwin was matched with the exceptional Jewish lightweight Dutch Sam, a future hall of famer who was making a name for himself during the same period.

[9] Though they were close in height, Baldwin was the bigger man by around seven pounds, as well as six years older, and used his superior ring experience and weight advantage to his benefit in the early rounds.

Deciding to enter the ring to resolve their dispute, Bristow dominated the older Baldwin throwing him to the ground, but after taking £30 after the 13th round, the match was declared a draw.

[1] On 4 April 1821, at Kent Assizes (court), he was found guilty of assaulting Thomas Gater, an excise officer during the performance of his duty, but further verification of this account may be necessary.

[13] In September 1825, two years before his death, he attended a boxing match between Jones the Sailor Boy, a known boxer and a fellow costermonger, and Tommy O'Lynne also known as Jemmy Wilson at Old Oak Common, six miles from London.

Many of the greatest boxers of the era were present, including Baldwin's former opponent Paddington Jones, as well as his friend and mentor Tom Johnson.

[15] Baldwin died at 58 on 8 November 1827 at St. Margaret's Workhouse on the outskirts of London, in Westminster, the community where he grew up and lived most of his life.
