 The Question:
I am trying to find the world's longest boxing match (most
number of rounds). So far no luck.
The Answer:
The longest boxing match (with gloves) in history was 110 rounds
long.
It began around 9 p.m. on April 6, 1893 and ended the next day
well after 4 a.m. Andy Bowen and Jack Burke fought for seven hours and
19 minutes in New Orleans, La. before the match was eventually deemed
"no contest" when the fighters were too exhausted to continue. That
decision was later changed to a "draw."
