Jack Burke (boxer)

Jack Burke (January 1, 1869 – October 25, 1913) was a boxer who fought in the longest gloved ring battle on record.

Burke went 110 rounds with Andy Bowen at the Olympic Club in New Orleans on April 6, 1893, in a bout which lasted 7 hours and 19 minutes.

The marathon fight was called a "no contest" by referee John Duffy when neither man could continue.

Burke broke all the bones in both of his hands and remained bed ridden for 6 weeks after the fight.

"Texas" Jack Burke died at Mublenberg Hospital in October 1913 at the age of 44.
