Jimmy Wilde (Wales)(#1) V Shoji Oguma (Japan)(#64)

National Sporting Club, London

The skinny, frail-looking Wilde (left) was a dynamic fighter with a powerful punch. He was taught to fight by his future father-in-law, the legendary mountain fighter Dai Davies, while working in the mines of Wales. At age 16, Jimmy began exhibiting in the boxing booth of Jack Scarrott, where he appeared from 1909 to 1914 in an estimated 500 fights.Nat Fleischer ranked Wilde as the #1 All-Time Flyweight.

Oguma was a busy left-handed boxer who threw good punches. During his career, he won the WBC Flyweight Championship of the World. Shoji defeated such men as Chan-Hee Park, Betulio Gonzalez, Sung Jun Kim, Jackal Maruyama and Kenji Kato.
