A propos de cet article

19th century stipple engraving, size 14 x 22 cm, by Rogers, J., entitled: "Barney Aaron, acknowledged as The Star of the East. London, Published by G. Virtue, 26 Ivy Lane." Three-quarter length vignette of the boxer Barney Aaron, looking to right. Barney Aaron, nicknamed The Star of the East, was born November 21, 1800, at Duke’s Place, Aldgate Ward, London. Duke's Place was the name of the street in which the Jewish "Great Synagogue" was situated. It was also known as the Duke's Place Synagogue. Aaron was a hard-hitting bare-knuckled fighter in the first half of the 19th Century, in an era when boxing was fought in according with the "Broughton's Rules." His career as a pugilist extended over fifteen years. He began boxing in 1819 and became a Lightweight Champion in the 1820s. In 1819, at age 19, he met and defeated in turn William Connelly, Manny Lyons, Ely Bendon, and Samuel Belasco. He also opposed Angel Hyams and Tom Collins in interrupted contests. In 1823 he met Ned Stockman (May 6), whom he defeated after a battle of forty rounds; Tom Lenney (August 5 and November 11), and Frank Redmond (December 30). The 1824 he beat Peter Warren (April l6), but two months later was defeated after fifty-seven rounds by Arthur Matthewson (June 21). He fought Dick Hares (March 21, 1826), who, after forty-three rounds claimed the fight on a foul blow, which was disallowed, the contest being awarded to Aaron. Aaron met Dick Curtis on a stage at Andover, England (February 27, 1827), where the prize was 200 British Pounds, and after fighting fifty minutes knocked him out by a blow to the throat. Aaron again fought Frank Redmond, on October 23, and defeated him in forty-two rounds. Among other combatants whom Aaron met and fought with varying success were Marsh Bateman (July 4, 1828), Harry Jones (November 21), Jem Raines (May 26, 1829), and Tom Smith (April 1, 1834). He married Phoebe Lee circa 1825 and they had six boys and two girls. One of the boys, Solomon, who became known as “The Young Barney Aaron” was a Jewish bare-knuckles boxer as well. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2001 as a pioneer boxer (someone who fought before 1892). His son, Young Barney Aaron, is a hall of famer as well. He may have died of heart disease, 11 July 1859, at 3 Boars Head Yard, in Whitechapel, London, England, at 58 years of age. The Jewish encyclopedia states that Barney died in Whitechapel in 1850, yet the 1859 death of "Barnett Aaron" seems, by process of elimination, to be our man. Aaron descendant and researcher Shirley Atkins checked every death record of every Aaron(s) recorded between 1848 and 1861 with the General Register Office (the government body responsible for holding the birth, marriage and death certificates and recording the events) and this is the only possibility found during those years. They also checked specifically for Barnett or Barney Aaron from the date on which official records started (in 1837) and there is no other Barney or Barnett Aaron, Aarons, Aron, Ahron or any other permutation that is recorded in either the London or Middlesex areas in that period.…
