 | | After Mills had lost his world light-heavyweight crown to Maxim on a 10th-round knockout at London Earls Court on January 24 1950, three of the deposed champion's teeth were extracted from the American's left glove. |
 | | He was nearly 28, and a veteran of 87 fights, by the time he challenged Mills for the world championship in London, where, despite being very much the underdog, he wore down the champion with left jabs and right uppercuts before forcing a stoppage in the 10th. |
 | | His days in the ring over, Maxim subsequently tried his luck as a cab driver, restaurateur, stand-up comic and film extra, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1988. |
