James Louis Bivins, better known as Jimmy Bivins, was a Heavyweight boxer and one of the greatest fighters never to win a world championship.
He was never given the opportunity to fight for a world title, despite at one point being the No. 1 contender in both the Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions.
Bivins fought and defeated many great fighters of his era including Melio Bettina, Ezzard Charles and Anton Christoforidis, and won the “Duration” Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight titles.
