He considered himself to be the inheritor of Tom Hyer''s title and lost any claim to that title after losing a fight to John Morrissey. He was born James Ambrose in Ireland and became a prizefighter at an early age. There is no authoritative source for the location or date of his birth. Sullivan arrived in New York in the early 1840s and gained a reputation as a prizefighter and a political enforcer. He was sentenced to two years in state prison for his involvement in the promotion of a fight between Christopher Lilly and Thomas McCoy which resulted in the death of McCoy. He received a pardon after two years on the condition that two men put up two hundred dollars and that he agree not to fight for two years. During his time in New York he was the owner of a saloon known as the Sawdust House on Walker Street.
