More about this scene
At the other end of Frimley High Street, we cross the River Blackwater, which is the boundary between Surrey and Hampshire. Near to this bridge in 1860, a fight took place that has gone down in the history of boxing as one of the important fights of the century. It was a bare-knuckle fight between Tom Sayer, from England, and John Heenan, the American. After 42 rounds, it was declared a draw.
