This was known as Buttocks Boxing.

@Allritemat There is more of this match. It was originally over 90 minutes--the longest film ever made at the time. According to IMDb, a fourth of the film still exists, which is certainly a lot more than this 11-second clip.

@Hatuey19: The Edison Company made scome earlier boxing films with Corbett.

[Allritemat]

Eleven seconds is that all their is? Is there any more? Is this the real fight or just a reenactment?

[BROCOCK]

Fantastic,,I don't suppose you have a shot of the Sharkey,Fitzsimmons,,fight !!

[GenericGene]

Not many movie cameras in those days. Thanks

[Hatuey19]

i think that was the very first boxing fight ever filmed.

[GenericGene]

I quite believe it, to my knowledge the first ever movie clip was made here in Aussie in Melbourne about a local bushranger called Ned Kelly- interesting.

[eggsoverdone]

Do you know if there is any coverage of Wyatt out there?
