OUR STORY
Inspired by the legendary bare-knuckle fighters of the past, Logan's of Lake Placid was created to serve the people of Lake Placid great lunch foods and to memorialize a nearly forgotten facet of our rich history.
​
The sport as it is known today was originally popular in England as far back as 1681.

The longest known fight was over 6 hours when James Kelly and Jonathan Smith fought near Fiery Creek in Australia on December 3rd, 1855.
​
The fight lasted 17 rounds.
