 On 24 October 1821, he defeated the well known English boxer Lenney in 29 rounds at Moulsey Hurst, and though mention of the fight was made in London's "Observer" on 28 November 1824, little if any mention of the match was made in area newspapers in 1821.He defeated the younger boxer Cooper, the "Gypsey" on 25 May 1822 in seven rounds taking 22 minutes in Epson Downs, England, and though he fought carefully he had greater science throughout.This boxer was most likely one of the Gypsey brothers Tom or Jack Cooper, who both boxed, and not the Scottish boxer George Cooper who was active at the same time, but a larger boxer, and older.
