This resulted in the foundation of the wonderful physi- que which the champion now pos- sesses, Dempsey tired of farm life, and turned to the mines, where hard labor strengthened the muscles which were later to bring him fame and glory. As he grew, Dempsey began to appreciate his wonderful build and, looking for an outlet for some of his accumulated strength, turned to the ring.
