James 'Deaf' Burke (1809-1845) was the first British boxing champion to fight in America. He was unable to secure fights in England after the Irish champion, Simon Byrne, died after Burke knocked him out in 1833. Burke won this fight against Tom O'Connell at Hart's Island, New York, with a 10th round knockout.
