There are quite a few online newspapers whose archives are free to access, and some of them carry rich resources for boxing history enthusiasts. Here are just a few :

New York Times. Free prior to 1923 and after 1986. Plenty of excellent boxing archives :

New York Tribune. Sample pages from this link feature day after reports from Johnson v Jeffries :

Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Absolute goldmine for early fighters, such as Fitzsimmons, with fight reports, build ups, personal data, training habits, interviews and more :

Not a newspaper, but it's worth mentioning you can access the full catalogue of Sports Illustrated articles and magazines:
