10th February 1884 - Madison Square Garden
Jackson makes a winning return
Peter Jackson (6-1) marked his stateside comeback with a straightforward 9th round cuts stoppage win over Jim Dunn(5-3). The bout could not be described as a 'classic' with the Australian only ever 'doing enough'.
This was the first USA bout for Jackson since his controversial WBF Final Eliminator points loss against John L Sullivan. The Australian is likely to feature on the forthcoming George Godfrey V Bob Fitzsimmons Heavyweight world title fight.
