If the fight did happen, it could possibly have been at Pershing Hall on the rue Pierre Charron, also known at the time as the American Soldiers and Sailors Club. Whether this boxing match ever took place is a matter of conjecture, but it is certain that it could not have taken place at the American Club of Paris since its founding in 1904, the American Club of Paris has never had a clubhouse, so it would have been impossible for the fight to have taken place there. An infuriated Hemingway was angry at Fitzgerald Hemingway and Fitzgerald had an often caustic relationship and Hemingway was convinced that Fitzgerald let the round go longer than normal in order to see Hemingway humiliated by Callaghan. Scott Fitzgerald's lack of attention on the stopwatch as he let the boxing round go past its regulation three minutes. Being a better boxer, Callaghan knocked Hemingway to the mat. While in Paris, the pair had been regular sparring partners at the American Club of Paris.
In the book, he discusses the infamous boxing match between himself and Hemingway wherein Callaghan took up Hemingway's challenge to a bout.
He recalled this time in his 1963 memoir, That Summer in Paris.
