George Ring

 

 

Pictured here is George Ring (sometimes spelled Wring) fighting Harry Greb in 1918. Some articles have Ring as a private, and others have him as a seargant. Neither is confirmed. George Wring was from the British Army and was a lightheavyweight.

 

Here is a newspaper article from the Daily Northwestern in Wisconsin on December 13, 1918:

"There was one big suprise and that was the defeat of Harry Greb of the United States Navy. Greb, although a middleweight, engaged in bouts in the light heavyweight division. While he managed to win his first bout, when he knocked out Baker of South Africa in one round, he met a more formidibale foe in Wring of the British army, who was awarded the decision at the end of four exciting rounds.
