No he didn't.

I'm not sure if you are utterly clueless about the history of the sport you profess to love, or have simply gotten caught in a lie and are trying to duck out, but here is a link to an article written by John L Sullivan for the London Times on the eve of the Jack Johnson-Jim Jeffries fight where he reiterates, as I have already said, that he had never fought a black fighter.

You are behaving very dishonourably.
