Britt the White Champion Boxer Found Dead in San Francisco
Jimmy Britt, 60, a famed San Francisco boxer and city figure, was found dead at his home. Deputy Coroner Michael Brown said Britt died of a probable heart attack, with his body discovered after his mother and a doctor checked the room. Britt fought top lightweights from 1902 to 1908, claiming a “white championship” after knocking out Lavigne in 1902, and faced Joe Gans in 1904 and 1907 losses. He later served as a city employee and WPA superintendent, known for his dapper style and social status.
