Henry "Hen" Pearce (born 7 May 1777 in Bristol; died 30 April 1809 at St. Martin's Lane, London) was an English bare-knuckle prizefighter who fought under the London Prize Ring rules and was the recognised English Champion from 1804 until his retirement, due to ill health, in 1807.〔(Cyber Boxing Zone Encyclopaedia ). Retrieved on 18 April 2009.〕 Pearce was known as "The Game Chicken", a nickname probably derived from his habit of signing his name "Hen" instead of Henry. He was reckoned a fast, skillful boxer who hit hard with both fists. On 6 December 1805, Pearce defeated Jem Belcher in a Championship decider ( a fight reported in Pierce Egan's first volume of ''Boxiana'').〔David Snowdon, 'Writing the Prizefight: Pierce Egan's Boxiana World' (2013)〕 He was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1987 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.〔 ==See also== * List of bare-knuckle boxers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hen Pearce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
