John C. Heenan
![Heenan, circa 1863](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/John_Camel_Heenan%2C_circa_1863.jpg)
Heenan is best remembered for his second contest, when he traveled to England to fight British champion Tom Sayers. The bout ended in chaos when spectators broke into the ring and the police intervened. The referee finally called a draw. The Benicia Boy came home to a hero's welcome, but later returned to England, where he had just one more fight, losing controversially to new British champion Tom King. Heenan died at Green River Station, Wyoming Territory in October 1873, and is buried at St Agnes Cemetery, Albany, New York. Provided by Wikipedia
