SAILOR BURKE (Charles Prasser) MW
Hometown - New York, New York, USA
24(12)-15-2; 2 NC
Burke fought Billy Papke for the World Middleweight Title, although Burke reportedly out-slugged Papke, the title remained with Papke (probably a pre-arrangement whereby the title would only change hands on a knockout). Burke fought two 6 round decision losses against heavyweights Jess Willard and Jack Johnson, had a pair of NC bouts with Tom McMahon, lost twice to welterweight Willie Lewis and decisioned heavyweight whipping boy Joe Grim.
