The Rigs of the Times - edited by Roy Palmer and Jon Raven - contains songs and accounts of popular sports and pastimes in the nineteenth century. It includes a song about prize-fighting - Sayer's and Heenan's great fight - which was considered the last great prize fight. It took place on 17 April, 1860, for the championship of the world. Spectators took a train to a mystery destination, which turned out to be Farnborough. The fight was declared a draw.
