EDITORS COMMENTS
Tiger on the Prowl: James Addis, AKA Tiger Jack Smith, in His Prime (1875-1931) In this striking black-and-white photograph, James Addis, better known as Tiger Jack Smith, proudly poses for the camera with his fists clenched and chest bare, showcasing the muscular physique honed through years of dedication to the brutal and demanding sport of professional boxing. Born in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, in 1875, Addis rose to prominence in the early 1900s as one of the most formidable heavyweight contenders in Britain. The image captures Addis at the height of his career, following his challenge for the Heavyweight Championship of England against James Gunner Moir in February 1907. The fierce determination etched on his face and the steely gaze of his eyes speak volumes of the intense focus and unwavering resolve required to compete at the highest level in the ring. Addis's boxing attire is simple yet practical, consisting of a pair of heavy socks and well-worn boots, a testament to the rugged nature of the sport and the minimalist approach to equipment during this era. The presence of multiple medals draped around his neck serves as a reminder of his numerous victories and accomplishments in the ring. As Tiger Jack Smith gazes into the distance, one can almost sense the raw power and intensity that made him a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world of the early 20th century. This powerful and evocative image stands as a testament to the grit, determination, and unyielding spirit of one of Britain's most legendary heavyweight boxers.
