The Great Carpentier-Dempsey Fight of 1921: A Historical Moment in Boxing and American Culture This iconic photograph captures the electrifying atmosphere of the historic Carpentier-Dempsey fight held on July 2, 1921, at Jersey City, USA. With an astounding crowd of over 100,000 people, this event marked the peak of boxing's popularity in the United States during the early 20th century. Jack Dempsey, the reigning Heavyweight Champion of the World, defended his title against Georges Carpentier, a French boxing sensation. The anticipation leading up to the fight was palpable, with both fighters boasting impressive records and immense public support. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the passion and excitement that surrounded professional boxing during this era.
