Broughton defeated George Stephenson (Stevenson), coachman of the Marquis of Powis, in a boxing match for 1000 l. at the Booth of Tottenham Court in March of 1738. The bout, which lasted 16½ minutes, had attracted an audience so large that a barber was squeezed to death while attempting to watch it.
