La cinquantaine passée, Il boxe à domicile sur le ring qu’il a fait construire dans sa propriété de Key West. Il délaisse parfois les gants pour arbitrer des combats locaux. Avec moins de succès. Un soir, un certain « Shine » Forbes tente par trois fois de jeter l’éponge pour sauver son poulain mais Hemingway fait durer le plaisir et lui renvoie sa troisième tentative en pleine face.
Enragé, Forbes passe entre les cordes et étend le grand homme. Le match est arrêté. Plus tard dans la soirée, Forbes se rend au domicile d’Hemingway pour présenter ses excuses. Il s’attend à remettre les gants mais Hemingway lui tend la main et l’invite à venir s’entraîner le lendemain. Forbes restera le « sparring-partner » d’Hemingway jusqu’à la fin de sa vie en 1961.
In his late 50s, he boxed at home in the ring he had built on his property in Key West. He sometimes abandons the gloves to arbitrate local fights. With less success. One evening, a certain "Shine" Forbes tried three times to throw in the towel to save his foal but Hemingway made the pleasure last and sent him his third attempt in the face.
Enraged, Forbes passes between the ropes and stretches the big man. The match is over. Later that evening, Forbes goes to Hemingway's home to apologize. He expects to put the gloves back on, but Hemingway reaches out and invites him to come train the next day. Forbes will remain Hemingway’s sparring partner until the end of his life in 1961.
