    Research Overview:
    Michael Shallow (1874-1948). Athlete. Born Fermeuse. Shallow went to Boston in about 1890, and became interested in boxing. At the turn of the century he returned to St. John's, where he began a boxing and physical training club and occasionally fought visiting boxers. In 1905 he knocked out a well-known heavyweight visitor, Charles Farrell. Seeking the British Empire title in England later that year he knocked out Ben Taylor, a former heavyweight champion, and fought Jack Scales, the reigning Empire Champion, to a draw. The next year Shallow defeated contender Bill Johnson, earning a rematch with Scales later in the year. He became British Empire heavyweight champion when he knocked Scales out in the eighth round. He spent the next several years as a prize fighter in Britain. In 1910 Shallow returned to Newfoundland, taking a job as a pipefitter with the A.N.D. Co. at Grand Falls, where he made a great contribution as a sportsman. In addition to encouraging boxing and wrestling, he helped to organize sporting competitions, umpired baseball games and, even at an advanced age, occasionally demonstrated his pugilistic style with amateur performers.
