Joe Bowker
Joe Bowker was an English boxer who was bantamweight champion of the world in 1904 and 1905. His defeat of Frankie Neil on 17 October in London for the world bantamweight title was considered the most remarkable event in the sport in 1904.〔''New York Evening World'', 2 January 1905〕
Bowker captured four boxing titles in the first decade of the 20th century: world bantamweight championship, European bantamweight championship, British bantamweight championship, and British featherweight championship. He held the world bantamweight and British featherweight titles at the same time. In 51 professional fights, he compiled a career record of 40 wins, 8 losses and one draw with two no-decisions. Fourteen wins came by knockout.
He was known as a "wonderfully clever" fighter.〔''San Francisco Call'', 24 April 1907〕 More than 40 years after Bowker retired from the ring, British boxing historian Maurice Golesworthy wrote of him: "Indeed, there are many authorities who rate Joe Bowker as the most skillful boxer ever produced in this country. That may be an exaggeration, but it is safe to say that there have been few better."〔Maurice Golesworthy, The Encyclopaedia of Boxing, Robert Hale, London, 1960, pp. 35-36〕
