This historic 30-second clip captures Mike Leonard vs. Jack Cushing in the earliest filmed boxing match, recorded by Thomas Edison's team at his Black Maria studio. The grainy kinetoscope footage shows a gloved exhibition bout under 19th-century rules - no ring ropes, grappling allowed, and rounds until someone falls. While not a competitive fight, this 1894 test of motion picture technology preserved pugilism's rough elegance for future generations. | History In Pictures
