You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jem Smith''' (21 January 1863 – 10 September 1931) was a [[Bare-knuckle boxing|bare-knuckle]] [[prize fighter]] and heavyweight champion of [[England]] in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century. In 2010 he was inducted into the [[Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame]].<ref>((cite web|title=BKBHOF Inductees|url=http://www.bareknuckleboxinghalloffame.com/id10.html|website=Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame|accessdate=29 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428031805/http://www.bareknuckleboxinghalloffame.com/id10.html|archive-date=28 April 2017|url-status=dead))</ref>

== Early career ==

In 1881 he fought his first [[Bare-knuckle boxing|bare-knuckle]] [[prizefight]] aged 18 years. In 1889, he participated in a fight against [[Frank Slavin]], where he was roundly outclassed by Slavin by all accounts, and knocked out cold for ten minutes, but the circumstances had been so unfairly stacked against his opponent, the referee called it a draw after 14 rounds. It was the last internationally recognized bare-knuckle prizefight, and fought in [[Bruges]], [[Belgium]].

== Titles ==
Smith fought his first heavyweight title fight in 1884 against Woolf Bendoff in the [[West End of London]], England and won by TKO in the 13th round. He fought [[Jake Kilrain]] in 1887, in defence of his heavyweight title. The match lasted 2 and a half hours and after 106 rounds the bout was called a draw due to darkness.<ref>((cite web|title=Jake Kilrain|url=http://www.ibhof.com/pages/about/inductees/oldtimer/kilrain.html|website=IBHOF.com|accessdate=29 April 2018))</ref> In 1891 he fought his last BBBC fight against Ted Pritchard in [[New Cross]], also in London, England and lost by a TKO in the 3rd round.
