HISTORY: Wrestling and savate early match fixing

http://www.pwi-online.com/pages/wrestlingframe.html

1856
Due to a spate of crudely fixed matches, professional wrestling and savate are banned in Paris. This causes the Montesquieu salon to become a restaurant, and many French boxers and wrestlers to move to Belgium, Greece, and the Americas. 

p.s. So where can we find their traces in USA and Greece at that time?
