Joseph Paul Zukauskas, also known as Jack Sharkey, was the heavyweight champion between 1932-1933. On June 21, 1932, Sharkey defeated Max Schmeling in a controversial split decision to win the world title.

Zukauskas took the name Jack Sharkey to be accepted in the Irish-dominated boxing community of Boston, inspired by boxer’s Tom Sharkey and Jack Dempsey.
