Joseph Bartlett Choynski (November 8, 1868 – January 24, 1943) was an American boxer who fought professionally from 1888 to 1904.
Choynski is known for knocking out world heavyweight champions Jack Johnson and Peter Maher in non-title bouts, and drawing against world heavyweight champions James J. Jeffries, Bob Fitzsimmons, Marvin Hart and Tom Sharkey. He also fought notable fights against James J. Corbett, Gus Ruhlin, Barbados Joe Walcott, George Godfrey and Kid McCoy.
Choynski was nicknamed “Chrysanthemum Joe”, reportedly inspired by his long, flowing hair, an eccentric trait for a boxer of his time.
