Three months prior to fighting Louis, Baer lost the World Heavyweight Championship to James J. Braddock by a 15-round decision. It was one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
Baer entered the fight against Louis with a broken right hand and a bone chip in his left wrist. His manager, Ancil Hoffman, pleaded with him to postpone the fight and get a specialist to examine his injuries. Baer was examined by Dr. William Healy, an orthopedic surgeon, at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Maryland. Dr. Healy told Baer that his left wrist would heal over time, but his right hand should be operated on before he fought again. Baer decided to go ahead and fight Louis instead of having the operation. Just weeks before he was to meet Louis, Baer wrote his wife, "I hope to God my hand heals before the fight." Before the fight, Dr. Max Stern gave Baer several shots of Novocain in his right hand in his dressing room. However, the fight was delayed for 45 minutes due to rain, and the Novocain started to wear off when Baer entered the ring.
