When Bobby Elbor, a white Canadian boxer, injured his hand and was unable to box against Abe Goldstein (also white), for the first time black boxes were brought in to take their place as too many tickets had already been sold. Panama Joe Gans and Lews Williams were the black boxers that took their place.
