The Jeffries-Sharkey Contest is a documentary film from 1899. Directed by Vitagraph Company of America, this film captures a twenty-five round fight between two prominent boxers of the era.
The Jeffries-Sharkey Contest holds a unique place in early cinema, showcasing one of the earliest documented sporting events. As a silent film, it’s part of a dwindling collection of 19th-century films, making it somewhat scarce. Collectors often seek out remnants of this period, and while it’s not the flashiest title in a collection, its historical significance and representation of boxing history make it a curious piece for enthusiasts.
