My great, great, great uncle James defeated John L. Sullivan in the 21st round to become the first ever boxing heavyweight world champion under the Marquis of Queensberry rules. Happened back in the 1890s in New Orleans, I think.

 

Some 50 years later, Errol Flynn played the role of my uncle in a movie called "Gentleman Jim."
