Il link e' a un articolo in inglese, racconta una storia sempre attuale, di un pugile che agli inizi del 1900 incontra...bhe' il classico personaggio da sfida.

_Sam McVea (also spelled McVey or MacVea) was one of the top heavyweight boxers in the world

_...With such interest in all-in fighting and Mr. McVea, the proprietors of the Marigny Theatre along with the Pelican Boxing Club decided to capitalize on both by staging a match between "L'Idole" and a top Ju-jitsu fighter


_Tano Matsuda, a man he billed as a "The Japanese World's Champion of Ju-Jitsu".

Finale....

Tano Matsudy managed to escape and return to London where he continued to bill himself as a "champion of jiu-jitsu", but "jiu-jitsu" itself didn't get off as easily. Thanks to Tano's rather feeble showing, along with an earlier defeat by Ernest Regnier at the hands of wrestling champ Ivan Poddubny, the Japanese martial art had experienced a serious set back in the eyes of the French public. Its superiority to Western martial arts was no longer a foregone conclusion.
