World White Heavyweight Championship

The White Heavyweight Championship was a title in pretense created when the "White Hopes" of the time had failed to wrest the title from the African-American world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson after four and one-half years. The first of the Great White Hopes, former world heavyweight champ James J. Jeffries, had failed to vanquish Johnson in 1910, leading to an elimination tournament of "White Hopes" in New York City in 1911.
