It’s Tuesday and on this day in history:
1st Boxing Match Film
1894 Employed by Thomas Edison, William K.L. Dickson films the first boxing match in West Orange, New Jersey, an exhibition between world heavyweight champion James J. Corbett and Peter Courtney
> > > Clint’s comment: AI tells me: “It is often misidentified as the first filmed boxing match, but it was actually the second, following the Leonard-Cushing Fight filmed on June 14, 1894.” Regardless, some footage exists… https://youtu.be/QoVJOpfx_aQ?si=y3P2zPo87JCcHwBH

It’s Monday and on this day in history: 
Most Profitable Pirate Raid
1695 English pirate Henry Every and his crew aboard the Fancy capture the armed Mughal trading ship Ganj-i-Sawai in the Arabian Sea in one of the most profitable raids in history, with loot valued between £325,000 and £600,000. The East India Company later compensates for the loss after Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb closes five ports to English trade.
> > > Clint’s comment: Different times eh? Mind you, some world leaders these days behave just like pirates!
