A. Recall 2mins

In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The
two men quarreled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a
fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a
great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the
ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in
1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he
founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He
earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as 100 pounds for a single
appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he
was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was
sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.
