Borglum to sculpt Fitzsimmons in grand marble statue
Robert Fitzsimmons is praised by sculptor Gutzon Borglum as the supreme fighting subject for a future statue. Borglum argues Fitzsimmons embodies battlefield prowess and soldierly grit, likening him to ancient gladiators and noting his lifelong dedication to boxing. The piece notes Fitzsimmons’ early work shoeing horses, claiming he once won a world horseshoe championship by forging thirty-six shoes in thirty-five minutes.
