Generally considered the greatest fight of the bare-knuckle era, the Heenan-Sayers bout was held secretly at four a.m. in a meadow at Farnborough, England to avoid police interference. The bloody two hour, forty-two round match ended in a draw when a mob of spectators flooded the ring and made further battling impossible, and a vote of British and American judges resulted in a draw. Gorgeous Staffordshire porcelain memento of the fight is one of the very rare surviving authentic examples. Reproductions are easily spotted, as they are closed between Sayers' legs. Condition ranks this one easily in the top five percentile of all authentic specimens.
