The Humphreys and Mendoza boxing matches were a series of three historic bare-knuckle fights between Richard Humphreys and Daniel Mendoza from 1788 to 1790. Their rivalry, particularly the final fight in 1790, established Mendoza as a legendary prizefighter who used speed and technique over size, making him the first prominent Jewish boxer in England and helping to change stereotypes about Jewish people.
