Max Schmeling
Schmeling was the victor after claiming he was hit below the belt by Jack Sharkey on June 11, 1930.

That is true and didn't Sharkey lose to Dempsey getting punched in the nuts when he was winning the contest?
I thought so, but need to ensure:
When Sharkey got hit below the belt in the seventh round, he complained to the referee Jack O’Sullivan. Despite a warning from O’Sullivan, Dempsey hit Sharkey four times in the same area. As Sharkey tried to get the referee’s attention, Dempsey landed a left hook to the jaw.

Oh, the irony of it!
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
