Beau Jack's Early Life and Start in Boxing
Sidney Walker was born in Waynesboro, Georgia on April 1, 1921. After his mother passed away, he moved to Augusta to live with his grandmother, Evie Mixom. She lovingly called him "Beau Jack." He grew up during the Great Depression, working on a farm and shining shoes. To earn extra money, he sometimes joined "battle royales." These were events where several boys competed in a type of fighting game, often blindfolded, until only one was left. The winner received a prize.
After one of these events at the Augusta National Golf Club, Beau Jack started working there as a caddie. He became friends with some club members, including the famous golfer Bobby Jones. Bobby Jones even helped pay for Beau Jack's boxing training.
Beau Jack's Amazing Boxing Career Begins
Beau Jack became a professional boxer in 1940. He started his career in Massachusetts and quickly built a great record of 27 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws. During this time, he became known as a strong and determined fighter. Fans loved his exciting style.
Winning the Lightweight Championship in 1942
In August 1941, Beau Jack moved to New York City. He kept impressing everyone with his boxing skills. In November 1942, he fought Allie Stolz at Madison Square Garden. The winner would get to challenge for the world lightweight title. Even though Stolz was favored to win, Beau Jack surprised everyone. He won the fight in the seventh round when the referee stopped the match because of cuts on Stolz's face.
On December 18, 1942, Beau Jack fought Tippy Larkin for the NYSAC Lightweight Title. Again, Beau Jack surprised everyone by knocking out the champion in the third round. He hit Larkin with a powerful right uppercut, and Larkin couldn't get up. This was only the third time Larkin had been knocked out in his career.
Fighting Fritzie Zivic in 1943
Beau Jack fought Fritzie Zivic twice at Madison Square Garden in early 1943. He won both fights by decision. Zivic was known for fighting in a rough way. In their first fight, Beau Jack was called for a low blow, which made the scoring closer. But he still won the fight.
Losing and Regaining the Title from Bob Montgomery
Beau Jack held his world lightweight title for only six months. On May 21, 1943, he lost it to Bob Montgomery in a 15-round fight at Madison Square Garden. Beau Jack started strong, but Montgomery fought back with powerful punches. Beau Jack's eyes were almost closed by the end of the fight.
But Beau Jack didn't give up! He fought Montgomery again on November 19, 1943, and won back his title. His trainer told him to stay close to Montgomery and fight hard. Beau Jack followed this advice and won the 15-round fight by decision.
Important Fights During the War Years
On January 28, 1944, Beau Jack had a non-title fight against Sammy Angott, who was another world champion. The fight was a draw, meaning neither boxer won. It was a very close match, and both fighters landed many punches.
Beau Jack lost his lightweight championship for the second time to Bob Montgomery on March 3, 1944. It was a very close fight that went all 15 rounds. This was Beau Jack's last lightweight title match for a few years.
He then defeated Al "Bummy" Davis on March 17, 1944, in a 10-round fight. Beau Jack was a favorite with the crowds at Madison Square Garden.
On March 31, 1944, Beau Jack also defeated Mexican boxer Juan Zurita. Zurita had just won another lightweight title a few weeks before. Beau Jack won this 10-round fight by decision.
The Famous "War Bonds Fight"
One of Beau Jack's most famous fights was against Bob Montgomery on August 4, 1944. This fight happened during World War II and was called the "War Bonds Fight." To buy a ticket, you had to buy war bonds. A ringside seat cost a $100,000 war bond!
Even though Montgomery's title wasn't on the line, the event raised a record $36 million by selling 15,822 war bonds. Many people who bought bonds left their tickets for American soldiers to use. Both Montgomery and Jack were serving in the U.S. Army and refused to take any money for the fight. Beau Jack won the 10-round fight. A special moment happened when the lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone on Joe Louis, another boxing legend, who received a standing ovation.
Beau Jack fought Sammy Angott again on July 8, 1946, and won by technical knockout in the seventh round. It was a very wild and exciting fight.
Last Chance for a World Title
Beau Jack had one more chance to win a world title on July 12, 1948. He fought the champion Ike Williams in Philadelphia. Williams won the fight in the sixth round.
Beau Jack and Ike Williams fought three more times after this. Beau Jack's skills were fading, and Williams won two of those fights, with one ending in a draw. Their last fight was on August 12, 1958, which marked the end of Beau Jack's boxing career.
Life After Boxing
Beau Jack retired from boxing with an impressive record of 83 wins (40 by knockout), 24 losses, and 5 draws. After he retired, he ran a barbecue stand and a small farm in Augusta, Georgia. He also worked as a referee for wrestling matches. Later, he moved to Miami and went back to shining shoes at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. He also helped train other fighters.
