Winston Churchill

Prime Minister who led Britain through the Second World War. Earlier a cavalry officer who rode in one of the last British cavalry charges and escaped from a Boer prisoner-of-war camp.
Horatio Nelson
“Hero of the Nile” · United Kingdom · 1758–1805 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
British admiral who destroyed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar in 1805 and died at the moment of victory. Fought on after losing the sight of one eye and most of his right arm.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Churchill by TKO. Churchill wins by TKO in round two. A fencing champion and hobby bricklayer, he lands straight, tidy shots on a man 35 kg lighter. Nelson keeps advancing because England expects, so the referee stops it. The swaying ring ropes don't help a career-long seasick sailor.
Fair fight? Tie Churchill's right arm behind his back so both men fight one-handed, and hold the bout on dry land, far from anything that rolls.
